Details
Tourists may face the need to pay a fee when visiting the popular St. Pete Beach if Mayor Adrian Petrila's goal of taxing visitors from other cities for entering the city is realized.
According to Petrila, to introduce a toll, the city has begun preliminary negotiations with FDOT about possibly taking control of Gulf Boulevard.
I think there's a way we can solve our $200 million problem. We can repair the sewers, upgrade the storm sewer system, improve our roads... and do it without raising taxes on our residents.
