I’ve lived in this area most of my life. I agree we’re not having our voices heard. This is an eyesore and will redefine the area as such. It’s true that study is worthless. In addition to the suspect nature of the relationship between the report director and the expressway director, it didn’t even address the effect on decreasing residential market values. No doubt they will. No doubt THAT study was not done for a reason. When commercial buildings remain vacant, they will rezone the area for its “best use”. I’m sure “heavy commercial” type zoning will eventually come and any freed up traffic flow can be used for the new semi-trailer traffic that will come afterward. Seriously…the cross-town authority was going to build this ugly beast regardless of what they told residents and whether the residents opposed it. It’s all about money. This area is one of Tampa’s best kept secrets. Now, it’ll be a mini-Detroit. C’mon people, it’s only a few traffic lights! I have no prob’s with Gandy traffic at rush hours, especially since the new construction and the no left turns (not a fan, but it does speed things up). The residents said NO! So much for them keeping their word – NO to this concrete monstrosity!
