Survey Says 'Refurbish Existing Pier'

St. Petersburg voters shot down the "Lens" pier design with a 63.35 percent vote to cancel the city's contract with Michael Maltzan Architecture Tuesday night.

While the mayor's 828 Alliance is expected to submit a pier selection process to St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster tonight, StPetePolls is conducting a survey asking people what they think should be done next.

As of 12:45 p.m. Wednesday, 140 votes were cast with the majority choosing to refurbish the existing pier.

Following in second place is a call for brand new designs. Voting on recent designs came in third with demolishing the pier and not replacing it as the least favorite response.
