Have ya’ll noticed the new bus lane added on 1st Ave S running basically from the Trop down to the water? I have a conspiracy theory that this is one of the first pieces of construction for the new stadium. Since they know peeps will be parking farass away it would make sense to create lanes specifically for PSTA/Looper Trolley access to speed up shuttling to and from the games. In that city staff analysis report I mentioned yesterday they talk about closing portions of 1st St S during games for a similar purpose. Hmm, related? Or is there actually so much PSTA use along 1st Ave S that a lane just for the buses makes sense?
More high-larious images of people’s lives being destroyed by fire (like the one above) available on the Clearwater Fire site.
got a tip?

Very interesting, thanks for the info.
Isn’t that new streetwork on first avenue s the new lane for the Pinellas Trail?

that’s my understanding as well.
What now? Who the shit would run down 1st Ave S? Also, did Justin turn into a spambot?
Hey, Fuckwads!
The 1st Ave work has been planned for years, and will extend the Pinellas Trail from the other side of 34th Street to the waterfront. Cool is that it will force a new traffic light on 34th right where that bridge is next to Gibbs - the bridge sucks for bikes, so cars will ahve to stop. And , the trail will run right though the tunnel in the old GTE printing plant
Spambot, what the fuck?
I was thinking though, in Hawaii a spambot would be quite popular.
Mmmm, fried pineapple spambot.
No more like, “More spam, Spambot!” And then shiny little Spambot 3000 jumps into action, spinning, beeping, and of course, fetching you another plate of delicious spam.
It’s totally Hawaii Two-Thousand-Five-Oh, spaced out shit.
By the way when the shirts rotate in and out on the right, the sleeves look like shorts and its kind of homo erotic for some reason. Or is it jussst me?
I’d love to see the bus that could fit down that “bus lane.” It’s only about seven feet wide, and doglegs at every intersection. Unless Sadra Bullock is driving and balancing the bus on two wheels the whole way, it isn’t going to happen.
Um, do you EVER actually check your facts before you spout off online? Did you even actually LOOK at the new lane? It’s a bike lane, clearly and obviously so. And a bike lane that’s been planned for years as an extension of the Pinellas Trail.
Your blogging on the stadium issue has constantly demonstrated that you don’t bother to read beyond headlines or, god forbid, do any critical thinking. But this posting is truly moronic.
And what does it say about you that you took the time to come to this “moronic” blog, read the post, then write a response?
That I’m tired of people participating in this debate without bothering to learn the facts. Reasoned opposition is one thing. Spouting uninformed nonsense is quite another.
I don’t know what you’re getting at. If it’s stupid to read and respond to stuff you don’t 100% agree with, what does that say about you too?
Personally, I think moving the stadium is a bad idea. That being said, it doesn’t mean that I’m going to ignore the fact that the “bus lane” is comically too small to serve that purpose. I realize Casey may have been half joking in the post, but other people seem to be taking it at face value.
Facts… hmm. Doesn’t ring a bell. Can you define the facts you speak of?
P.S. Helpful note: don’t use totally made up looking e-mail addresses when you comment, the spam filter was holding up one of your comments. Use frank@hotmail.com or something that the spam filter sees as a real address. Thanks!
MORONS HAVE A RIGHT TO BLOG TOO (OBVIOUSLY) DUDE, YOUR AN ASSHOLE - the BUS LANE kick ASS, and removes al the sorry fucking memories of yesteryear ! FUCK YOU! The city , actually is feeding off this new lane. I HATE to be your fucking WIFE!
Dude, that was so meta.
Guys, guys, guys. Everyone calm down. There is a reasonable explanation for all of this.
What you don’t realize is that St. Pete plans to save a lot of fucking money by shrinking the buses to about 1/4 their current size (perfectly to scale only much smaller). They will unfortunately have to replace all the current drivers with “little people” and will only hold about 5-6 passengers, sitting hunched over on the floor, but it will be worth it yo!
We’ll save money AND make it look like our public transit is way popular since our buses will always be full. It’s totally the same shit their doing with school enrollment and test scores.
Genius!
