W presented concepts for the St. Petersburg Pier Approach to the public at a workshop last night. The Tampa Bay Times reported on the workshop here. The Pier Approach is a $20 million project that will link the city's waterfront landmark to the popular downtown core. The approach is meant to provide a series of enticements, such as a grand entry, art bridge, open-air market and restaurants to draw visitor from the city's bustling downtown. The conceptual framework was shown to inspire St. Petersburg residents to contribute ideas and opinions to the design process. The next public workshop will be held in May or June.
