There's no way to get fixed rail without immense expenditures for capital as well as the operating deficits that always follow. With the present greed-oriented group making decisions, better to drop it until we get acceptable people in power.Charlotte Greenbargnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576993731992352882.post-76427550811401536932016-08-28T10:57:49.823-04:002016-08-28T10:57:49.823-04:00We have the MPO, TBARTA, and County Commissioners ...We have the MPO, TBARTA, and County Commissioners all squawking about congestion.<br /><br />But the biggest regional cause of congestion is the bottleneck at I275 when it crosses the Howard Frankland bridge into Tampa. <br /><br />We don't need any studies to see this, as we see it every day in traffic. So why don't the politicians stop posturing for control, wasting millions on consultants, and creating more "regional organizations," and actually start on working on this problem. Get a new bridge designed and built, and do it now. We don't need or want cowboy technology like railroads when Uber and self driving cars are only a few years off.<br /><br />Stop talking, and start with this first!<br /><br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
