Notice of Community Meeting Re: Gulf Winds Drive Repaving 60% Design Progress Update

The City of St. Pete Beach recently completed the installation of new sanitary sewer pipes under Gulf Winds Dr. The complete re-paving from Gulf Blvd to 75th Ave is currently being planned and the City has a unique opportunity to expand and install new amities on the roadway. In the initial design survey, residents favored narrowed drive lanes, on-street bike lanes, and an 8ft wide sidewalk on the west side of Gulf Winds Dr. In March 2022 the City met with community residents to review the design at 30% completion. 

 We had a good meeting and have incorporated many of the residents’ suggested changes. These include raised intersections at select locations, crosswalk markings wherever possible and enhanced landscaping from Gulf Blvd to 64th Ave. The mini round-a-bout at 64th and Gulf Winds Dr and the reworking of the intersection at 71st and Gulf Winds Dr were both removed from the project based on resident objections. 

 The project design has now progressed to 60%, and the City will host a community meeting to update residents and receive any final feedback on the project. Please see the meeting details below if you wish to attend. 

 Both in-person and virtual attendance options are available. 

 July 7, 2022 at 5:30pm City Hall – Commission Chambers (155 Corey Ave, St. Pete Beach 33706) 

 Or register to attend virtually here: Gul Winds Drive Project Info The meeting will be recorded and made available online if you are unable to attend.

 We look forward to meeting with you and hearing your ideas.
