St. Petersburg, Florida - If you drive, live or work along Gandy Boulevard just west of the bridge, some major changes are speeding your way.

Because of cost savings on other state road projects, a major makeover for Gandy just jumped to the top of the construction list. The Florida Department of Transportation will start designing the $120 million project at the end of this year.

"We're really excited to announce this project," says DOT spokesperson Kris Carson. "This is a very congested area on Gandy."

St. Petersburg, Florida -- Despite improved training and new set of policies when it comes to confronting animals, St. Petersburg Police say they had no choice but to shoot and kill another dog Thursday.

It happened when a couple's loud fighting prompted several calls to 911.

"He was dead before he even hit the ground," said a sobbing Keilli Applegate.

Applegate, the dog's caretaker, was upset, but neighbors say it was an argument between Applegate and her husband that brought officers to the address on 10th Avenue North near 4th street.
