St. Petersburg administrators believe installing two flood gates in Shore Acres, the city’s lowest-lying neighborhood, will benefit multiple areas along an interconnected stormwater system.
Councilmember Mike Harting said the project, which would mitigate tidal and storm surge impacts, involves “damn near a quarter of the entire city.” He and his colleagues unanimously approved a $147,451 contract with Jacobs Engineering Group at their Sept. 24 meeting to analyze designs, locations, benefits and risks.
