Mark Your Calendars!
Invite your family and friends, bring your lawn chairs and coolers. After months of searching, a neighbor on Snell Isle, Kurt Shallenberger, has agreed to entertain us with a little music at the event. We hope you'll join us. All are welcome!
For those who drive across the 40th Ave bridge to Shore Acres and take Overlook into Snell Isle, your commute will be disrupted in the very near future. There is an article in the March Panther, but since that went to press, the city has delayed the bridge closure a few days. High winds will impact the ability to move the cranes safely this weekend as planned, therefore the bridge is now scheduled to close down both lanes on March 6 (5:00 AM) until 5:00 PM on March 11th.
Given that the whole bridge will be closed for that time, a significant amount of traffic will re-route through Snell Isle over the 34th or 22nd Ave entrances. Be aware and plan for a little extra time. If you wish to read about the bridge construction project, you can see more details here: http://www.40thavenuebridge.com/
Snell Isle is home to the historic The Vinoy® Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club, one of the Nation's premier golf courses.
Our tropical surroundings provide waterfront vistas for most residents. Over 80% of the homes on Snell Isle enjoy waterfront views.
In 1920, local developer C. Perry Snell began construction on what was originally, a muddy mangrove island.
