LATEST UPDATES
Trails Crossing has secured its planning agency
John Barkett, co-founder and president of the nonprofit Friends of Trails Crossing, Inc., has spearheaded the public-private partnership that will drastically reimagine four city blocks from 1st Avenue North to 3rd Avenue South. Barkett had previously worked to create a conceptual plan for Trails Crossing, which was utilized to engage the public and the City on what could be. Friends of Trails Crossing was recently a co-applicant on the Reconstructing Communities USDOT grant submission along with the City of St. Petersburg and Forward Pinellas. Once LandDesign completes the master plan, the public-private partnership between the City of St. Petersburg and the Friends of Trails Crossing will take further steps toward designing, permitting and construction.
TRAILS CROSSING
Linear Cultural Park is comprised of four blocks of underutilized surface parking beneath I-275. It is proposed as a public-private partnership that activates a desolate area under the interstate and creates a public park with safe crossing to access the Pinellas Trail that will be designed and programmed to include walking and bicycle paths, lit art walls, a children’s area, container buildings, beer garden, dog park, art sculptures, art murals, green amphitheater and more.
