Nebraska Ave delayed restriping

To All:

I just got off the phone with FDOT. I wanted to get an update on the time-line for the Nebraska Ave redesign and resurfacing project that has been planned since I moved into this neighborhood in 2000. It appears that the project has been postponed once again. The new schedule is as follows:

Letting (Opening of bidding process) date: April, 2007

Construction to begin: June 2007

This is at least the 3rd time that this project has been postponed by FDOT. The last time we were given information we were told that construction would begin next month, June 2006.

It is my opinion that we must start a major letter-writing campaign to our representatives about this issue. It is no longer a matter that can wait. Driving down Nebraska Ave from Hillsborough to Downtown is literally like driving through a 3rd world country. There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever to accept the condition of this major thoroughfare. You would never find any street or avenue anywhere else in the entire county in this condition. Could you imagine a road like this in Brandon or in Carrollwood?

Opinions????"
