St Petersburg Public Improvements in Grand Central District

The following is a brief update of planned Grand Central District public 
improvements which will give some "Wow" to the District by summer's end ... part of 
$906,699 District total under the city's public improvements in the public
right-of-way. 

• Crosswalks over Central Ave on selected streets will begin to 
  appear July compliments of the City of St Petersburg - Capital
  Improvements dept.  While all streets will not be done this year it's a 
  start.  $250K will be spent on these this year.

• Gateway Medians (14' wide by 20' long) are being planned at the east 
  and west entries to the Grand Central District on Central Avenue.  The 
  medians will provide beautification, distinct entrances and traffic calming.  
  The decorative iron monument signs currently on Central Avenue will be 
  relocated to the medians for better visibility.  Median construction sits 
  now with the City Engineering Dept. and will emerge...at some point 
  in the future rather the early summer date that had been hoped for.

• Bike Racks have been placed on both sides of each block of Central 
  Avenue on most blocks (where they would be used)  and will have a
  black powder coat finish. Final installation complete by end of August. 

• Trash Receptacles will be installed at all PSTA bus stops in the Grand
  Central District.  The receptacles will be decorative iron with a black 
  powder coating finish, and are expected to be installed by summer's end.  

• New Light Pool Flags/Banners are needed but that will be up to Grand 
  Central District Association to get sponsors for the project involving 
  127 banners plus backups. Banners around the city for various 
  neighborhoods last a year certainly possibly more in our Florida sun and 
  hurricane environment.  A new banner design incorporating the 
  recognizable district logo will be drawn.

• Small Grand Central logo placards have been placed on the street sign 
  poles throughout the District.

• $5,000 in private contributions by four sponsors have placed yellow and
  red banners on the 127 light poles in the District - on Central and
  the 1st Ave. South and North.
