Penny for Pinellas Extension
2010 -2020
In 1989 the Penny for Pinellas (infrastructure) sales tax was originally approved at countywide referendum for a
ten-year period starting in 1990. Soon after, on September 21, 1989, the Clearwater City Commission approved an
interlocal agreement with Pinellas County for the distribution oionary sales
surtax. About one-half of the money was used for County project
municipalities within Pinellas County.
In the spring of 1997, county voters approved the extension of the Penny for Pinellas tax for a second ten-year
period ending in the year 2010.
Since the inception of Penny in 1990, the City has received approximately $120 million of Penny dollars. This has
provided a major economical boost to the Citys economy, offering a means to provide facilities and service, most
which would have never been achievable without this resource.

NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS RENOVATIONS & IMPROVEMENTS
One of the most important parts of the Park and Recreation Master Plan is the
SCOPE:
maintenance and renovation of existing parks, whether they are neighborhood,
community, special facilities or resource-based parks. Several parks in the
existing inventory will need to be renovated over the next ten years. This project
will provide for much needed renovation to several of the neighborhood parks
throughout the city. Some of the facilities and designs at the older parks are over
30 years old and in need of major renovation.
The parks identified for possible renovation include, NE Coachman Park, Pier 60
Park, Woodgate Park, Valencia Park, Cliff Stephens Park, Charles Park,
Overbrook Park. In addition, two new neighborhood parks are proposed at Salls
Lake Park and State Street Park. These two new parks may include park
amenities, i.e., tennis courts, basketball courts, parking, play
playfield areas and park amenities.

RECREATION TRAILS
The project will provide for the completion of the City wide trail system.
SCOPE:
Attention is given to planning trails that will connect neighborhoods with existing
trails such as the East West Trail, Progress Energy Trail and Pinellas Trail. The
City is in a major development phase for many current trail projects including the
East West Trail, Mandalay Channel Pedestrian Bridge, Memorial Causeway Trail
and the Turner Street Druid Road Trail. However, there are many additional trails
that are being proposed by this project which include the Landmark Trail,
Edgewater Drive Trail, Bayshore Drive Trail South, Courtney Campbell Parkway
Trail, and East Avenue Trail improvements in the Downtown corridor to give all
citizen residents access to the trail system.
The City will be seeking other State and Federal funding sources to match the
Penny funds to make the trail system a reality. There appears to be a great deal of
interest in providing alternative transportation options and trails are one of the key
ingredients in accomplishing this goal.
