As the City of Venice prepares for the Venice Farmers Market footprint shift this weekend, Saturday, June 21, citizens will notice some new traffic changes in the area of Granada Ave., Ave des Parques, and the west City Hall parking lot.
These changes include:
- A new four-way stop at the intersection of Granada Ave. and Ave des Parques. Be sure to take caution, come to a complete stop and make eye contact with other drivers and pedestrians before proceeding.
- “No Parking Saturday 5 a.m. to 3 p.m.” signage throughout the west City Hall parking lot, and the Ave des Parques northbound lane between W. Venice and Granada avenues. Vehicles remaining in these designated areas will be towed.
- A newly configured pedestrian sidewalk near the Lord-Higel House. Crosswalk coming soon!
These important traffic changes are vital for pedestrian safety and access.
Public parking will remain available along the southbound lane of Ave des Parques between W. Venice and Granada avenues, the municipal lot and spaces along Granada Ave., along W. Venice Ave. next to City Hall, along Harbor Dr. next to City Hall, and in Hecksher Park (where the tennis/pickleball courts are located), as well as throughout the downtown area including Tampa, Miami and W. Venice avenues, Centennial Park, Nassau St. and Nokomis Ave.
Additional EV charging stations are available in Centennial Park and along St. Augustine St.
