Florida lawmakers may raise tolls on the Florida Turnpike by 25% beginning July 1st. A trip on the entire length of the turnpike, from Florida City to Wildwood, would go from $21.20 to $26.50.
The Florida Department of Transportation has plans to hold a forum this Thursday, with companies interested in leasing Alligator Alley! That potentially means the 78-mile highway could end up in the hands of private interests. What does that mean to you... CHA CHING; tolls could go from the $2/2.50 now, to $6/10 bucks within the first decade. If a company is decided on, and the state's Legislative Budget Commission signs off on the deal, the lease could be in place by years' end.
The forum is open to the public, but it's in Orlando.
We may have to bring back the nickname Blood Alley - as in, what do you want, my blood?
