• Clearwater OKs street handovers for entertainment center (stpetecatalyst.com) — Clearwater's city council narrowly advanced a plan to hand over several downtown streets for a proposed $50 million EVO Entertainment complex tied to the Church of Scientology, with a 3-2 vote on first reading. Supporters framed the street vacations as key to economic development and safety, while opponents warned about losing vital east–west connections and long-term flexibility for future downtown growth.
   

• Clearwater pedestrian trail project takes next steps this week (baynews9.com) — Work on Clearwater's Courtney Campbell Causeway Pedestrian Trail is ramping up, with a key stretch between Bayshore Boulevard and Kiran C. Patel Boulevard closing for about two weeks for overpass upgrades.
