I was watching the Mayor speak the other day... He seems pro-infrastructure unlike some Tampa has had in the past.
In my view, light rail is just as important as creating a vibrant downtown. A place where one would live, work,eat, shop and the like. ...The general consensus about DT Tampa is that after 6 it shuts down, unlike St Pete where I seemed to feel a sense of a city. I have not been there since the financial/real estate bubble of 2007-2008 so I don't know how the areas have been affected.
I'm truly hoping Tampa can pull something off within 10-20 years. I would hope the center area of downtown is used for hi-rises and the surrounding area mid rises. No high-rises are officially planned yet (as far as I know)... I think growing some monsters in the CBD as well as some dense mid rise mixed use neighborhoods. I have never been to a city as un-walkable as Tampa ... I would hope to see that change.
Honestly,are we going to see much happen within 10~20 years?
