ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Florida Department of Transportation crews on Monday started a $2.7 million project aimed at improving pedestrian safety in St. Petersburg. Kris Carson, a spokesperson with FDOT, says the project will begin with drainage work. While that is being done, 4th Avenue South will be closed just West of 4th Street South (U.S. 41). Once the drainage work is complete, crews will start adding curb extensions. Those curb extensions narrow the roadways. They are aimed at making it easier for drivers to see walkers and runners and getting drivers to slow down.
