If light rail comes to Pinellas County, it will run north to a transportation hub in downtown Clearwater, where trolleys and buses would whisk passengers to the beach or elsewhere.
That transportation hub would likely be located at a city-owned lot at Court Street and Myrtle Avenue. On Wednesday, a group of Clearwater business and community leaders gathered there to publicly endorse the Greenlight Pinellas plan.
They included Clearwater Mayor George Cretekos; real estate titan Lee Arnold, CEO of Colliers International; Alan Bomstein, president of Creative Contractors; Frank Dame, chief operating officer of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium; and former Clearwater mayor Brian Aungst Sr.
