Name: Manatee Tiger Bay Club Luncheon: It's Rush Hour, but No One Is Moving: Is a Flyover the Best Solution?
Date: March 15, 2018
Time: 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM EDT
Is a Flyover the Best Solution?
Event Description:
Travel between Palmetto and Bradenton these days requires the patience of Job, as the traffic seems to move slower than a herd of snails crawling through peanut butter. Many of the cars clogging our bridges are not headed to either Bradenton or Palmetto, but to Tampa and Sarasota; which is why FDOT is considering a fly-over for these regional travelers. It may ease traffic, but would it also pound a stake through the heart of Bradenton? Will a flyover place some of our poorest residents in a carbon shadow, forcing them to “live” under a bridge? Is public safety at risk due to deadlock congestion between our cities?
Join us for a discussion on the best way to clear our bridges and manage road rage.
