St. Pete Sidewalks Old Meets New | Tampa News

St. Pete’s sidewalk upgrade push is heating up—balancing safety, accessibility, and historic charm. Residents want smoother, safer paths but are fighting to preserve iconic hexagon-tile sidewalks in neighborhoods like Old North East, which are crumbling from tree roots and weather. While mobility and stroller access are top concerns, locals like Heather Brookey and Max McCann urge the city to modernize without erasing history. The City is actively seeking public input via virtual meetings on Sept. 15 and 22 as it drafts a new Sidewalk Master Plan—aiming to make St. Pete more connected, inclusive, and walkable for all.
