Complete Streets Program

2021 Complete Streets Program

To continue the momentum of implementing complete street treatments throughout Pinellas County, Forward Pinellas conducted a sixth round of funding for complete street concept plans and construction projects. In June 2021, a call for projects was sent out to the local governments of Pinellas County asking for applications to request funding for complete street projects. A committee of technical staff from local government agencies will review the applications received and make a recommendation to the Forward Pinellas board to fund one or more of the applications received. Up to $100,000 is available for the development of concept plans and up to $1 million will be available for construction projects.
