Tampa Bay Times: Hillsborough commissioner revives transportation talks

 Hillsborough County Commissioner Mark Sharpe is calling for renewed talks about how to address the county's transportation needs as Pinellas County commissioners move toward asking voters there to consider a new transit tax.

 
Sharpe is calling for a series of transportation "summits" between commissioners and representatives of the county's three cities, along with civic groups, to develop a 30-year priority list of road and transit work. He said his hope is to develop something by November that can be taken to voters a year later, paralleling the planned Pinellas vote.
 
"The objective is for Hillsborough County to be prepared in 2014 to have a very focused conversation about what we're going to do next on transportation," Sharpe said. "There's got to be a way we can do this and have the whole community feeling good about it."
