A question concerning this new interchange It's my understanding that there are 2 ramps being constructed, an off ramp from the 408 heading east to I-4 east and one from 308 heading west to I-4 east Anyone know how the old, outdated, existing interchange on and off the 408 will be re-configured? Will the old uneeded sections be demolished keeping the ones that will stay or will it all stay just blocked off or something like that?

Amazing pictures guys, absolutely amazing You guys made my weekend today Thanks

Any update on the progress of the S.R. 408 expansion on the east side in terms of the refurbishing of the Lake Underhill Bridge with it's new decorative suspension bridge cable structures as well as the progress of the new Holland East Toll Plaza? If any photos of this are out there, please post

So what does this mean exactly? Was it always Kuhn's intention to sell or is he merely selling portions to bring on partners to spread the risk? I feel like this place is never going to come back

Anyone have any idea how much government subsidy is necessary for either a light rail or commuter rail for operational purposes?

Not only so much a good quality experience but AMC is so well known throughout the world, it'll be easy as hell to market so I will find it hard for people not to notice or not to consider

It's official Downtown Orlando theater to be 12-screen AMC By Jerry W. Jackson {sodEmoji.|} Sentinel Staff Writer 5:03 PM EST, November 8, 2007 Downtown Orlando theater to be 12-screen AMC

I agree the $38 billion is a disgusting amount but to clarify, it isn't just for light rail only The referendum was to allocate about $15 billion towards a multi leg light rail that would span over the entire greater Seattle metro area including its outlying suburban areas The remaining money would be invested in new road construction, widening existing major roadways, replacing several bridges, bike trails, etc Many are saying the reason why this failed was that one leg of the light rail is completed and will open to business soon and many people are eager to see if that first leg actually succeeds before looking to increasing its size tenfold Plus, the fact it was bundled into a large program of road construction and more might also lead to its demise Charlotte go its referendum approved because it was more simplistic and not nearly such a huge amount I think this is what we need to do in Orlando, give the commuter rail line a chance to succeed and actually come up with a light rail plan people will actually vote for Past mistakes on how it was presented to voters seemed to doom it

Election 2007: Charlotte Transit Wins By 70%; Seattle Transit Expansion Loses http://www.lightrailnow.org/news/n_lrt_2007-11b.htm This is an encouraging sign that a major metro area like Charlotte can bring the people together to vote for a much needed light rail line to help alleviate traffic issues If Charlotte can do it, no reason why a good transportation package cannot make it in Orlando However, on the flip side, this article also shows that Seattle rejected a $38 billion transportation infrastructure package pretty overwhelmingly Considering Seattle is a much larger metro area with far worse traffic issues, this defeat is pretty catastrophic Aside from whatever fares are collected to ride the lines, does anyone have any idea roughly how much subsidy comes from the government over the life of such a line?

Your meeting today sounds very encouraging Considering that the Disney Concert Hall cost a total of about $270 million in 2003 construction dollars, I think the funds that will be available for ours should be adequate enough to accomplish something spectacular along those lines I just hope too many wallets don't get fat on the project via "Big Dig" corruption that could wind up limiting what we get Of course, Mr Burns is always welcome to step in and convert it into the City Commons Maximum Security Prison should an upscale Gehry facility not succeed with us southern folk

Right in between where Howl at the Moon was and the Olive Garden at the bridge of Church Street Marketplace crossing over Church Street I had been to that Uno's numerous times and I enjoyed eating there for lunch when I worked at the Suntrust Building Ahhh...the memories......

I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this yet, but..... Bid to halt sports venues could fall short of goal It appears Mr. Rosen's plan to impede progress is failing badly

You're dreaming the impossible dream The Disney Concert Hall is an architectual wonder of the modern era, doubtful we would ever be so lucky as to get something that amazing It's a wonderful dream though

No dirt dug til end of 2008 is of course assuming Rosen and Guetzloe (aka, Media Crack Whores) don't find pull rabbits out of their hats anymore than they have tried

Very nice photos, great job There is nothing no greater than Orlando or for that matter Florida as a whole after the rain

Not very encouraging....

This is not going to be anywhere near the 408 It will be off the 528, the Beachline (Beeline) down by the convention center

Wow! This is pretty damn significant
