Dear Neighborhood Association President,

My name is Mikael,  a business owner in South Tampa located on Gandy Blvd. I am calling upon you to please help your local merchants and residents around South Tampa to preserve our community . Savegandy is a alliance built up of everyday South Tampa residents and business owners trying to stop THEA (generates it’s revenue from tolls), building a concrete elevated toll road on top of Gandy blvd.

The tax payers of Florida just spent 22 million dollars for the beautification on Gandy, and we feel the sole purpose was to lay the foundation for this organization, at our expense. The toll road could never been thought of, until we the taxpayers widened the road. Since we paid for it, we would like the opportunity to see our neighborhood enjoy the new roadway before any further construction process.
Did you also know that THEA (The Hillsbrough County Expressway Authority) will make a decision and said they do not need our voice to decide on this project.They have said they will do it without our vote.
We feel it is every citizens right to have their voice heard I am sure you will agree, so we have developed www.savegandy.com for the voice of the people.

This web site is to educate the public of the pros and cons, and give them the opportunity to sign a petition and so their voice can be heard  and let government know we still have rights in our communities.

Please, I am asking you to please forward this to all association members so we can educate them about the project. Without the knowledge and help from our neighbors, the concrete toll will plow into our neighborhood. Please help us get the word out so people can see what is going on and have the opportunity to be a voice for their community. We would do the same for you and thank you for your time.

Thank You,

Mikael
