AAA believes some people may head out for a Memorial Day weekend road trip with a car that’s not ready. They estimate about 34 million Americans will hop on the highway this weekend, 2 million in Florida.
Indian Shores and Indian Rocks Beach say it is past time for a project planned in 2003 to be completed â or at least be given higher priority.
Indian Shores Mayor Patrick Soranno supported by Indian Rocks Beach Mayor Joanne âCookieâ Kennedy appealed to members of Forward Pinellas during an April 14 discussion on the draft multimodal priorities.
Chelsea Favero, planning manager, said Forward Pinellas reviewed and adopted the multimodal priority list each year. Projects are listed in two-tiers, funded and unfunded and projects remain on the list until completed, she said.
However, the draft presented for review contained three unfinished projects that were removed from the list. Two were placeholders for future work on U.S. Alternate 19 and one was an aerial transit feasibility study now underway through Tampa Bay Area Regional Transit Authority.
