Common sense prevailed Tuesday night as the Hillsborough MPO voted to keep FDOT's I-275 expansion/improvement projects in their plans.
According to this Tampa Bay Times article, the vote was 11-5 to keep the projects in the MPO's plans.
We will note that all four Democrat Hillsborough county commissioners, including countywide commissioners Pat Kemp, Kimberly Overman and Mariella Smith, voted to remove those vital projects from the MPO's plans. They were joined by Democrat BOCC Chair Les Miller along with Democrat Tampa City Council member Guido Maniscalco.
