20th Street Closure and Barrio Latino Commission review
On Thurs. Dec. 18 at 9:00 am the Barrio Latino Commission (315 E. Kennedy Blvd. 3rd Fl. – Tampa City Hall) will consider the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office request to vacate (close) 20th St. between 9th Ave and Palm Ave.
HYNCA is strongly opposed to the closure of 9th Ave. which blocks access and prohibits movement of residents and visitors. Ybor was created with a grid system of streets. The closure of this portion of the street degrades the historical integrity of our street system and chips away at the character and historic design of our district.
Please plan to attend the BLC Regular Meeting Dec. 18 to speak out against closure of 9th Ave. For more information contact HYNCA Secretary Tom Knueppel.
