It's been a long time since my last post. No apologies. I just knew I couldn't compete with Al Kaplan http://thepriceofsilver.blogspot.com/ who was doing one photo and post every day for years and years. Now that he's slacked off a bit, I feel like there's room for me.
SunRail - Central Florida's Commuter Rail.
This is a very worthwhile project that needs approval by the Florida Legislature this session. I won't go into the dollars and details. There are lots of places to read about those. There are three simple reasons it deserves to get done:
- It will get cars off our roads. Central Florida is Atlanta a couple of decades ago but without MARTA. We don't want to go there.
- It will provide alternative transit to people who don't want to, can't or shouldn't drive.
- It's a really good deal. The right-of-way will cost less than half what it would if built from scratch, and the Feds are paying half the cost of the tracks, stations and trains.
Then contact your Senators and Representative and tell them to vote for SunRail. Your children and grandchildren will thank you.
