I also noticed they’re widening the Florida Turnpike as well. They have signs posted along the portion they’re widening boasting about it. Clearly nobody in this backwards-thinking state cares about transit (or actually reducing traffic) and would rather everyone suffer in these traffic-riddled sewers.
yep - I have family in Miami, and they complain about traffic the same way we complain about the weather in NY - the only difference is that they have the option to change it
A planned commuter train between Miami and Fort Lauderdale saw its funding plan derailed Monday by Florida’s new state budget, which defunds a key source of transit dollars for the $927 million project, according to county officials. If funded, the Northeast Corridor project — also known as the Coastal Link — would bring a version of Tri-Rail commuter trains to the heart of the Miami area’s urban corridor, east of Interstate 95. Miami-Dade has been planning stations in Wynwood, Little Haiti, North Miami and other neighborhoods along the route, which would eventually stretch north to Palm Beach County.
This is so tiring to hear. The Miami region needs better transit because the traffic is terrible, I-95 is a traffic-clogged sewer, and the widening projects they’re doing, I’m sure, are able to continue without delay, will only worsen it.
DeSantis is an absolute clown, and needs to be removed since it’s apparent he doesn’t care about the residents of Miami who are stuck dealing with traffic that is only going to worsen.
