Invision Tampa

Well, now we have a plan.  Sure most of it we have all talked about for years but now its in writting.  My mother always told me once its in writting you know its true.  Or was it dont believe everything you read... either way the City of Tampa now has a plan.  Some of it may not ever come true, some of it will change with the times and efforts of the cities leaders but we have a plan that all can seek for direction. Congrat's to Mayor Buckhorn.
The Riverwalk is finally coming to be what its planners saw many years ago and if the Mayor stays the course Downtown Tampa will be what, I at least, many have hoped it could be...a Major city.  No offense to the folks in Miami but I perfer Tampa.  Now the hard park begins, getting the County and the State on board.  We aren't just talking about changing a law to let Cities decide their own taxes/taxing areas or if they are allowed to vote on possible City only taxes.  Now we need those folks to help make this vision come to life.  We need the State give us the OK to change some On-Ramps to 275.  We need to County extend a hand helping cut the red tape.
We need to believe in Tampa.

Now a good start would to have the County & City Leaders work together on the LighRail Project, thus expanding the TECO Streetcar.

Sure, this will all go out the Window if the Rays come to Downtown Tampa....But its a plan....
