St. Pete Beach eNews 4/29/22 ☀

SEWER PROJECT UPDATE:
The new force main in St. Pete Beach is fully operational.
The four new lift stations have old pipe that has to be filled with cement. This process will result in lane closure. See more information on the City website HERE.

The Annual I & I program, which is a routine maintenance of sewer lines, is on schedule to begin next week, on Wednesday, May 4th, 2022.

This is a program that is not expected to impact traffic flow, however you will see workers in various areas of St. Pete Beach over the next few weeks performing this service.

The residents and business located in the work zone will receive door hangers 2 days before the work in their area begins.

What to expect: While the crew is working in your area, please limit the use of water in your home as much as possible.

The Florida Department of Transportation's contractor, AJ General Construction Services, Inc., will begin making improvements to SR 699 (Gulf Boulevard) from 36th to 131st avenues in Pinellas County.

See full information on the FDOT website HERE.

This week we began the Budget workshops for Fiscal Year 2023, which begins in October 2023. In this week's video, Vice Mayor Graus reviews what that process looks like, along with key points from the Budget Workshop.

The City Commission approved funding for a beautification program for homes in St. Pete Beach that lack green space and landscaping in their front Right of Way. An example would be a home with the front Right of Way that consists of asphalt. This program would remove the asphalt and add ground cover such as jasmine, mulch, perennial peanut, etc. along with adding shade trees of the homeowners choosing Elm, Maple or Oak. This would improve the look along the street and increase the city’s green infrastructure and tree canopy.

The City of St. Pete Beach and our contractors will be working in throughout St. Pete Beach neighborhoods to replace reclaimed water service lines and resurfacing the streets.

The work began in February 2022, and will last for approximately 4 months. Please see more details on the website HERE.
