From URBN Tampa Bay
Check out what was left of Downtown Tampa in 1970, after the state had bulldozed half of it to make way for their beloved highway and ‘urban renewal’. Bulldozing the city for a wider highway isn’t a solution. As you can see, it is specifically what nearly destroyed Tampa’s urban core, making it an unlivable hellscape that the community has never fully recovered from.
This is why we strongly oppose any further highway expansion through Tampa, and support All for Transportation’s petition to put transportation improvements on the ballot in Hillsborough County this November.
For more on the petition, and how you can sign it, check out the website here: http://www.allfortransportation.com/
