St. Pete Police launch pedestrian, bicyclist safety campaign

While St. Petersburg’s seven pedestrian fatalities match the total received through September 2023, its bicyclist deaths (four) have doubled year-over-year. The St. Pete Police Department recently launched a high-visibility campaign to increase pedestrian and bicyclist safety. The agency received a $67,629 grant to bolster education and enforcement efforts on major thoroughfares throughout the city over the next several months as part of a statewide initiative.
