Church Wants Downtown Street
Description
Clearwater’s city council just narrowly approved a controversial plan to hand over a downtown street to the Church of Scientology — sparking outrage and hundreds of protesters who argue it’s a giveaway of public space with no clear benefit. The church wants to build a new venue and plaza on South Garden Avenue, claiming it’ll add green space, but critics fear it’ll block emergency access and hinder downtown mobility. A petition with over 8,000 signatures demands the street stay public, calling the proposal absurd. This is just the first vote — the battle’s far from over.
