It’s very funny and also slightly annoying that our second most-read article in 2025 was an April Fool’s joke that escaped containment... 😆

I hope @StPeteFL approves CRA funding for this project. It could serve as a model for the rest of Central. It reminds me of the changes to 2nd Ave N between Beach Dr and 1st St (where Cassis, Bacchus, and Paradeco are) in 2008/09 that transformed the street into a shaded blvd.
Central Avenue makeover would prioritize pedestrians over parking in downtown St. Pete
