On Radioactivity Wednesday we had a debate over the TBX project, the hotly debated interstate project that proposes to build toll roads in the middle the 1-4 and 1-275 interstates through the heart of Tampa and in parts of Pinellas County.
Backers say the new toll roads will easy traffic congestion in these areas, while opponents call it a boondoogle and a waste of taxpayer money.
Arguing for the TBX Project in our debate is Ray Chiaramonte, executive director of the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority, and Debbie Hunt, Director of Transportation Development at the Florida Department of Transportation.
