Last week I talked to a very regular customer of mine.  She is a commuter from St Pete.  First of all she said she has a Citgo gas card and for her entire life as a commuter she always filled up there on Friday after work.  Now with the median she has found another more convenient gas station. She said she used to come by my store more regularly but the construction along Gandy puts her in such a sour mood, she just drives through the mess these days. Continue reading ‘A real concern.’

Gandy is in District 7 which is Rose Ferlita.  She can be reached through the Hillsborough County Government homepage and emailed opposition letters!  She serves on the advisory board , everyone should scrutinize her representation. To the best of my knowledge, Ms. Ferlita has not voiced opposition or expressed concerned for the businesses who will die.  She is elected BY US and expected to SERVE the community and REPRESENT us.
The same holds true for our Mayor, Pam Iorio,…..It is my understanding that the Department of Transportation (Florida) government was the originator of this “study”.  It is bewildering to understand the flow of this travesty.
It is extremely insightful if you go to the website for the Hillsborough County Crosstown Expressway Authority:http://www.tampa-xway.com
In the left hand column you will see a grey highlighted area concerning Gandy.  Read all of the articles that have been printed since the beginning of time.  It is ironic how this has been opposed and duly noted since 1987 and yet the monster continues to grow and raise it’s ugly head.  These are the things I believe.  I believe that Mr. Hargrett (president of THEA) should be held accountable for the letter he wrote to the media last July (the letter is on the website I mentioned)…..I believe we have been duped from the beginning.  The current road median construction project is NOT a beautification project!  They have reduced our roadway, drastically reduced the ability to get to storefronts and are CREATING THE GROUND ELEVATION FOR THE SUPER OVERPASS WITH NO REGARD FOR THE BUSINESSES THAT WILL BE RUINED!.  Continue reading ‘A Graveyard under the overpass!’
