Public transit options could take a hit

Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) officials have recommended eliminating and reducing routes to balance their budget, even as some residents and local leaders clamor for increased transportation options.

The agency’s governing board heard plans to eliminate the six least-traveled routes Wednesday morning, including three in St. Petersburg. The proposal would also reduce the 52LX (49th Street), Route 59 (Ulmerton Road) and the Central Avenue Trolley services.

‘Collective impact’ propels Lealman Exchange

When Pinellas County Commissioners handed over the keys to an expansive community hub last year, they hoped a unique public-private partnership would bolster its impact; the venture exceeded expectations.

The Lealman Exchange (LEX) is a 77,000-square-foot, six-acre campus built to provide programming and services that meet the needs of an underserved community with over 30,000 residents. The St. Petersburg Foundation (SPF) began partnering with Pinellas officials in April 2022 and assumed daily operations of the county-owned facility that August.
