Governor Rick Scott is contemplating pulling the state's support for the Outer Beltway.  Should it happen?

Build the Outer Beltway. It will bring the region jobs and new development
1 (3.7%)
Only build it if tolls start at the Clay County line
2 (7.4%)
Only build it, if the private sector finances it as originally proposed
1 (3.7%)
Kill it.  The Outer Beltway will only result in unsustainable sprawl and require permanent subsidies
23 (85.2%)

Look at back in the day when JTB was being planned. People thought it was crazy. It was one of those "roads to nowhere." Now look at it. You have to looks 20, 30 and 50 years out. Growth, especially in places like Florida/Jacksonville, is going to happen.
"Back in the day" the Commodore Point Freeway was supposed to run out to the beaches from the Hart Bridge.  The expected growth in Hart Bridge traffic has never occurred.

??? I swear, your posts are as hard to decipher as the Time Cube.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?
