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."
