Venue Change for Santa's Visit on Saturday Afternoon

The SIPOA Board has been watching the weather forcast for the weekend and have proactively decided to move Santa In The Park to an indoor location. St. Thomas Episcopal Church at 1200 Snell Isle Blvd has graciously agreed to host our 4:00 - 6:00 PM event indoors. We'll still be serving some holiday goodies for the kids and adults. Come on over to St. Thomas and bring your kids and cameras. We've got a great new Santa this year.

SIPOA Holiday Events THIS WEEK

Join your neighbors and friends for some Snell Isle Property Owners Association special events this week. The Annual Holiday Party is this Thursday evening at the Woman's Club and Santa in the Park is Saturday at the gazebo in front of the Vinoy. See flyers below for the details. We hope to see everyone this week!

After The Storm

City Officials Shut Down Reclaimed Water Service St. Petersburg city officials have shut down reclaimed water service due to saltwater intrusion from Hurricane Idalia’s storm surge. They expect to restore service “sometime next week.” For more information, call the 24-hour Water Resources Dispatch Line at (727) 893-7261. Garbage and Recycle Holiday Schedule

In observance of the Labor Day Holiday, our regularly scheduled Monday recycle pick-up shifts to Tuesday and our Tuesday garbage pick-up shifts to Wednesday.

PLEASE EMPTY & TRASH ALL YOUR SANDBAGS USED DURING THE STORM AS, IF THEY GOT WET…REMEMBER, THOSE TAMPA BAY WATERS THAT INTRUDED OUR STREETS HAVE ALL TYPES OF BACTERIA AND “BAD STUFF”. (THINK OF THE RECENT LARGE SEWAGE SPILL IN RIVIERA BAY!!)

Electric Vehicle Fires As first responders, businesses and homeowners assess the damage caused by Hurricane Idalia’s storm surge, local officials have warned of a new safety risk – electric vehicle fires. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Florida has the second-highest number of registered EVs(168,000) in the nation. However, the problem extends far beyond automobiles.

The US Fire Administration states that salt within the battery or its components can form “conductive bridges” that lead to short-circuiting and extreme heat. It adds that ignition can occur in days to weeks. Fire Rescue officials noted that saltwater exposure can cause any lithium-ion batteries to combust. That includes the increasing number of electric golf carts and scooters seen on city streets. “Don’t drive these through water,” the agency said in a social media post. “Crews have seen numerous residents out in golf carts and children on scooters riding on the water.” DON’T DO IT!

40th Ave Bridge Closure 6/5 - 7/3

Road Closure Notice: The 40th Avenue NE bridge (between 12th St NE & 13th Way NE) will close traffic on 06/05/2023 at 6:00 am and reopen on 07/03/2023 by 5:00 pm.

The bridge closure will implement the final configuration for the storm drainage system, utilities, and roadway.

While the City intended to conduct this closure at a period that would have mitigated impacts on our residents, the availability of construction equipment during this busy construction market has limited our available time to facilitate this essential construction step. If nighttime construction is conducted, sound mitigating elements will be implemented on construction equipment where feasible; please remember that some elements are critical for the safe operation of equipment, construction activities, and general safety. Please see the image illustrating the bridge's layout following this closure for more information.

This closure will implement construction activities subject to change based on weather conditions.
