Plans to transform I-275 underpasses move forward

A local organization is taking a community-driven approach to transforming blighted areas underneath I-275 in St. Petersburg into vibrant park and event spaces that connect bifurcated neighborhoods.

Following the success of a similar initiative to create a park under a portion of I-375, city officials are now moving forward with the Trails Crossing concept. Evan Morey, transportation and parking director, and John Barkett, co-founder and president of nonprofit Friends of Trails Crossing Inc., explained the project’s benefits to St. Petersburg City Councilmembers during a committee meeting Thursday.
