SUMMARY:Transportation Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Transportation Committee is pushing forward on several fronts to improve connectivity and multi-modal options across the region. One major initiative in progress is the ferry feasibility study being led in partnership with Forward Pinellas\, focused on Hillsborough and Manatee counties. As part of that effort\, social media ads have been launched to raise awareness and gather public input. Meanwhile\, the Committee is organizing meetings with regional stakeholders—including the Westshore Alliance\, Tampa International Airport\, Brightline\, and others—to discuss how to improve connectivity\, particularly from a future Tampa station\, during an upcoming meeting. \nOn top of that\, the Committee is excited to highlight the launch of PSTA’s SPARK route. Set to begin service on October 26\, this premium/high-frequency route along 34th Street South will connect Eckerd College to Grand Central Station. Its design and schedule are intended to mirror some of the features that made SunRunner successful—frequent service\, improved transit access\, and better connectivity across Pinellas. \n  \n  \n🗓️ Next Committee Meeting Date: Tuesday\, October 14 \n🕒 Time: 8:00 am \n📍 Location: St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce \n🔗 Learn more and register here

SUMMARY:Housing\, Land Use & Development Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Housing\, Land Use & Development (HLUD) Committee has been advancing important work on historic preservation\, affordable housing\, and permitting reform. The Historic Designation Subcommittee has been meeting with City Council members to discuss updates to the designation process\, while a new Affordable Housing Subcommittee is exploring recommendations such as transit-oriented development (TOD) zoning to expand access to affordable housing. \n  \nPermitting has been another top focus area. On August 8\, the Committee convened a Permitting Round Table\, bringing together Chamber members\, developers\, and city staff. A key outcome was the Chamber’s request for the City to begin publishing data that captures full permit lifecycles\, which would improve transparency\, accountability\, and resource allocation.  City staff expressed openness to continued collaboration with the Chamber to identify metrics that balance accuracy with context\, ensuring both progress and remaining challenges are communicated effectively.  Together\, we can create policies and systems that balance growth\, affordability\, and efficiency—ensuring St. Pete remains a city that is both livable and economically vibrant. \n  \n  \n🗓️ Next Committee Meeting Date: Tuesday\, October 14 \n🕒 Time: 8:45 am \n📍 Location: St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce \n🔗 Learn more and register here
