Storm debris temporarily closes Kanakadea Park
Starting Monday, May 12, County Route 21 (Canisteo Rathbone Road) will be closed to all traffic passing through for about eight weeks, the release stated. Rose said the closure will allow for essential bridge maintenance over Spalding Hollow, the area between State Route 36 and County Route 30 (Swale Road). An on-site detour will be in place to help drivers navigate around the work zone, Rose emphasized.

St. Pete approves projects to make sewer system more resilient
The Brief City leaders gave the greenlight for critical infrastructure improvements after Hurricanes Helene and Milton exposed dangerous weaknesses in the sewage system. The City Council signed off on several infrastructure projects — including replacing the 10-year-old pumps at Lift Station 85. The move comes after Hurricanes Helene and Milton overwhelmed the city's aging wastewater system, leading to widespread overflows. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - City leaders gave the greenlight for critical infrastructure improvements after Hurricanes Helene and Milton exposed dangerous weaknesses in the sewage system. After back-to-back hurricanes dumped millions of gallons of raw sewage into St. Pete's waterways — and into some residents' homes — the city council has approved a series of major infrastructure upgrades aimed at preventing similar disasters in the future. Follow FOX 13 on YouTube Big picture view The move comes after Hurricanes Helene and Milton overwhelmed the city's aging wastewater system, leading to widespread overflows, including 5.9 million gallons of sewage pouring from 55 manholes during Milton alone. "There's no words," said Pamela Blome, a local homeowner whose house was flooded with sewage. "The last time I was in here, it smelled like sewage. All the walls were torn out, and I still remember seeing the black mold." Blome is one of thousands who suffered sewage damage.

"We couldn't save anything." On Thursday, the City Council signed off on several infrastructure projects — including replacing the 10-year-old pumps at Lift Station 85, the city's largest and busiest sewage pump station located downtown. Public Works Administrator Claude Tankersley said the station's pumps have become less efficient over time due to nonstop use. "These pumps are always running," Tankersley explained. "Over time they have become less efficient." Along with new pumps, the city is also installing an AquaFence flood barrier at Lift Station 85 — a modular system designed to protect critical infrastructure from storm surge. Inspired by a similar system used at Tampa General Hospital, the barrier is expected to arrive this month.

"It's the weight of the water that actually supports it. And we bolt it into the ground to keep the wind from blowing it over before the water gets here." What's next Council also approved an additional $1 million investment in sewer pipe lining upgrades to help reduce inflow and overflows during major rain events. The improvements are aimed at increasing the city's resiliency as climate-related weather events become more intense and frequent. St. Pete Mayor Ken Welch called the latest upgrades just one piece of a larger puzzle. Over the past nine years, St. Pete has poured nearly $1 billion into infrastructure improvements — and more investments are expected in the coming years. "We're not just reacting — we're planning for the future," Welch said. The Source The information in this story was gathered by FOX 13's Genevieve Curtis.
