St. Augustine Beach installs 20 permeable parking spaces on 4th Street; more 8th Street projects in design
Summary
Mayor Beth Sweeney and Public Works Director Russ Adams highlighted 20 newly improved permeable parking spaces on 4th Street, pointed to about 29 spaces on 2nd Avenue, confirmed city-owned beach parking is free, and said an 8th Street parking project is currently in design.
Mayor Beth Sweeney and Public Works Director Russ Adams on Monday highlighted new permeable paver parking on 4th Street in the City of St. Augustine Beach and outlined additional and planned parking locations.
“We have 20 improved parking spaces in this location,” Russ Adams said, describing the 4th Street project. Adams also noted improved parking on 2nd Avenue between A Street and 1st Street, saying there are “approximately 29” spaces at that location. Mayor Beth Sweeney added that the pavers are permeable, allowing water to flow through, and underscored that city-owned parking within the beach area is free.
The officials recommended residents and visitors consult the City’s website for maps and details of other city- and county-owned public parking on the beach, which Adams described as useful when beach access by four-wheel-drive is limited.
Looking ahead, Adams said the City has a planned parking project on the southwest side of 8th Street that is currently in design and is considering a southeast 8th Street lot as a potential next project.
Sweeney thanked Public Works for the improvements and closed the segment by reminding viewers the city will continue the weekly "Mondays with the Mayor" series.
The broadcast did not include details on project costs, specific timelines for construction beyond the design stage for 8th Street, or a direct link to the city's parking maps; those items were not specified in the transcript.
