Florida accused of push for 'roads to nowhere' under cover of pandemic

[Zorro]

6. "Roads to nowhere" may sound catchy but it's misleading

Tampa is at one end of the proposed Suncoast Connector, which is a continuation of the current toll road that terminates about 50 miles north of Tampa at Brooksville. Its extension even further north is hardly "unwanted".

I-75 these days is oversaturated with traffic from the Georgia state line to Florida's Turnpike. I think the Suncoast Connector will reduce that I-75 traffic and be beneficial overall, so long as corridors accommodating wildlife migration are planned and integrated into the route design.
