Downtown St. Pete is the most walkable large scale geographic area within the entire Tampa<br />
Bay region. Enhanced pedestrian access exists in most of downtown St. Pete, which features<br />
extra wide tree-lined sidewalks, enhanced pavement materials, street furniture, outdoor cafes,<br />
and safety features such as bollards and count-down pedestrian signals at intersections –<br />
all designed to enhance the pedestrian experience. This vision was established by the City’s<br />
downtown redevelopment plans beginning in 1982, and was formally implemented with specific<br />
development guidelines under the City’s “Plaza Parkway” design manual that was adopted in<br />
1989. This combined with an efficient street grid pattern has resulted in the evolution of the<br />
City’s remarkable downtown pedestrian corridors. Downtown St. Pete’s most recent national<br />
“Walkability Score” for zip code 33701 was 78th in the “very walkable” category; and, downtown<br />
Tampa’s score was 59th in the less walkable category of “somewhat walkable” (per zip code<br />
33602). (Source: walkscore.com)<br />
