Body
Previous Commission Action: N/A
Background/Problem Discussion: In September of 2019, the intersection of Poinsettia Road and the Pinellas Trail (one of the main entrances to and from Belleair) was closed due to construction of the City of Largo’s Rosery Road Project. Since its closure, Town staff and the Commission have been made aware that a group of residents would like to see the intersection remain closed even after the completion of the construction project.
In March of 2020, the Commission received a petition from this group of residents expressing their desire to keep the closure long-term. Largo’s Rosery Road Project is set for completion in the early part of 2021, but due to the onset of COVID-19, a full discussion on the topic has been deferred until now.
