I'd like to see better rules about landscaping - and keeping up that landscaping. Litter control could be better in front of some businesses too. Sidewalks all along Front Beach and the rest of Thomas Drive would be wonderful. Did you see the condo-dwellers walking to the Pier Park Mardi Gras parade? They were in the street. It's not safe to walk along Front Beach Road but with sidewalks, pedestrians would create a better atmosphere than the transient feel we have now. I agree that too many businesses look scraggly.

The evidence abounds with sex shops, strip joints, trash bars, no side walks, and underaged drunks at Spring Break. The new developers of condos and nice retail developments like Pier Park are the solution. Instead of pushing on new developers look around at the type of crap that has been PCB businesses. I own a very successful business in another State and you cannot become an upscale growing area until you weed out some of the dilapidated buildings and bars. Most businesses like Schum'ems does not even have grass in front of a new addition. Or a knocked out big sign that is never repaired. Who approved that last year? Is it okay to want the new developments to hide everything and let the rest look terrible? Pier Park and the airport is your biggest asset for growth. You cannot have upscale growth and be the Spring Break drunk & drug fest at the same time. Any comments?
