WHEELIE EXCITING WAYS TO GET AROUND

The City team is working to create streets that are safe and convenient for all users of the roadway - including bikes.

Newest addition: a protected bike lane on 8th/Highland St. from 4th Ave. N. to MLK St.

Need a map? An up-to-date hardcopy of the bike map is available as a resource at your local bike shop, library, or City kiosk. See the full map digitally at stpete.org/citytrails.

TOGETHER, WE THRIVE

Have your voice heard! Getting involved in the right ways can help build the best version of St. Pete for all.

The City of St. Petersburg has a ton of Boards & Committees that advise on City initiatives and priorities. Each board or committee work with internal departments and City Council to serve St. Pete residents in all pockets of our community.
