Book 1 - City of St. Petersburg

Bridge to the Vinoy
The bridge connecting Vinoy Park to the northern Uplands is
conceived to be “operable” to allow boat access to the North
Basin.
Marine Science Discovery Station
Located at the Hub, this educational outpost would be linked to
the Underwater Feature to provide an indication of what can be
seen out at the Pier, and an opportunity to highlight partnerships
with the City’s marine science community, Marine Science
programs at the local universities, Tampa Bay Watch and other
Marine Science businesses and organizations. While clearly an
important opportunity for the Pier project, this feature requires a
sponsor and/or source of funding.
HMS Bounty Memorial
The tragic sinking of the HMS Bounty off the North Carolina
coast during Hurricane Sandy will not soon be forgotten. Since
the 1970s, the HMS Bounty docked for stretches at the Pier as
a tourist attraction. The Bounty’s Captain, Robin Walbridge,
who went down with the ship, called St. Petersburg home. A
respectful monument or memorial located at the new Pier, would
honor its impact and legacy.
Arts & Entertainment Kiosk
An interactive kiosk located at the Uplands could provide
information about local happenings or opportunities to purchase
tickets to the City’s arts and entertainment venues.
