Many folks are gathering for the explosion of transit. Ok, call it what you will, I call it this... NOT HAPPENING. Still can't get there from here!

Back in the day the ole MPO would meet, discuss the roads, the transit and a few things would muster up to Tally for a little sit and spin. Then, after it made it back down to "slam it down the local area throat" not much would happen.

Along came Tampa Trolley. This is going to move people from here to there. Make downtown viable, the Channelside district will come alive. The first week the buffoon trolley was in operation, 4 accidents occurred at the USF Building. Not like you can't see the yellow trolley, no one really thinks about it.

On May 11, 2007 there is a downtown rally or gathering or building notification for ride sharing and our building which shall remain nameless (but not smell-less because we have the rocking est restaurant) will have a little debate with the people in the moving and placing. What do you think will come of it?

My money is on this... Hey Stan, how are you? You know the parking down here is terrible. I cannot believe the amount of people that travel in downtown. Where do they all live. LATHER.RINSE.REPEAT.

Stay tuned or check out the Planning chick on Sticks of Fire.

I like that "lather.rinse.repeat" line.

In the last week I've had two developers tell me we should do away with traffic concurrency restraints on development -- at least in the Urban Area. Seriously. The theory is that if we all roast in traffic hell for the next decade as traffic grinds to a SCREECHING halt, we will finally beg for mass transit.
