The St. Pete Police Department announced that it would be closing Bayshore Drive N.E. to car traffic from Central Avenue to 5th Avenue N.E. on Christmas Day from 5pm-10pm If open streets were on your list, then you’re in luck. Back in May 2020, the city closed a portion of Bayshore to traffic to study the feasibility of closing the street to cars.
