The MPO sought the public’s opinions on the Gandy Connector, an idea for an elevated, 2-lane toll road in the center of Gandy Boulevard.
In the Spring and Summer of 2013, staff brought information to the Policy Committee addressing the motion which was passed by the MPO Board to consider removing the Gandy Elevated Connector from the Long Range Transportation Plan. The Committee discussed emergency evacuation and an analysis of traffic patterns under different roadway system changes. The final piece included gathering an understanding of the public’s preferences. Please see the information below. A public opinion survey was developed which asks questions about the Gandy Connector.
