In September 2013, the Florida DOT received an unsolicited proposal for the leasing for rights-of-way for the purposes of constructing, operating, and maintaining an elevated toll road in Pasco County along the 33 mile SR 54/56 corridor from US 19 to US 301. It would be the state’s first privately built and managed toll road.
On May 9, 2014, The Florida DOT officially rejected the unsolicited proposal. However, the Pasco County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) still has an elevated toll road in the County's Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) has just granted URS Corporation an extension to Dec, 31, 2014, to complete a feasibility study for an elevated toll road of their own. The possibility of an elevated toll road being built over the SR-54/56 corridor IS NOT DEAD!
Pasco Fiasco is the name of our activist group which strongly opposes any elevated toll road whether built with private or public funds. We are homeowners and small business owners who believe that an elevated roadway will adversely impact our quality of life and threaten established businesses. Please become fully informed by accessing the information within the Pasco Fiasco website and support our efforts by signing this petition.
