Description

It has come to our attention that two very popular restaurants including Chipotle are opening on 36th Ave N and 4th St. We already get tons of traffic on 36th Ave because of a Taco Bell that is located at the same intersection. There are huge areas missing sidewalks on either side of the street in the Allendale Terrace neighborhood including 35th, 36th and 37th Aves and also none north/south along 7th St or 5th St. I have 3 children under 6 years of age and many other small children live in this neighborhood. I think the city of St. Pete needs to consider completing the sidewalks on the portions missing along 6th/7th St and on 35/36/37th Ave between 9th/MLK and 7th St if they are going to continue bringing high-trafficked businesses into our neighborhood.

Additionally, we would like to recommend that chicanes, large speed bumps or both are added along 36th Ave to encourage drivers to instead utilize the standard business thruways (4th St, 38th Ave, etc).
