St. Pete receives money to put towards road, pedestrian safety

St. Petersburg has secured a substantial $3. 6 million federal grant to bolster road and pedestrian safety in the city. With the ongoing urban development leading to increased traffic, the grant aims to implement vital safety measures that will protect both motorists and pedestrians. Local government officials view this funding as a critical investment in the community's infrastructure, highlighting its role in maintaining a livable city.

The funds will be allocated towards various safety enhancements, including improved signage, better crosswalks, and potential traffic calming measures. This initiative not only addresses current safety concerns but also anticipates future growth-related challenges.
