[Tarpon Avenue c. 1894] Tarpon Springs has undergone a major face life over the past year. While inconvenient for many drivers and business owners (myself included), it has dramatically changed and improved the appearance of the city.
I was commenting to someone the other day that having grown up in Tarpon, you get used to the look and feel of the city. Then, when you see the improvements you can't believe how "ugly" the city was before.
The two major roads in Tarpon Springs, Pinellas Avenue and Tarpon Avenue have been repaved and planter medians put in place. New turn lanes and turn signals now exist at heavily travelled intersections, new sidewalks have been created with brick pavers and many overhead power lines have been buried. There are still some projects to be completed, such as landscaping in the medians and sidewalks.
All of these have given the city a cleaner and quainter look and feel. Now the appearance of the city, matches its character.
I want to thank all those involved in working so hard to make our city beautiful. If you haven't visited Tarpon Springs for a while, or ever, come on over!
