The Florida legislature in 2019 passed a bill for three new unneeded toll roads. while failing to pass a single environmental protection bill. At least ninety organizations say No Roads to Ruin. Many of them spoke at the Florida Capitol in December.

The northernmost of these toll road boondoggles, Suncoast Connector, would run from Crystal River across the Suwannee River, through Monticello, to Thomasville, Georgia; nevermind nobody asked Thomasville or Georgia before this bad bill was passed or signed. The middle one, Northern Turnpike Connector, also includes Levy County in its study area, right up to the Suwannee River at Fanning Springs, and both include Citrus County, where some of our most active members live.

We think the toll roads funds should be repurposed for pandemic relief.

WWALS is posting many videos from a February 2020 meeting in Madison County, Florida, where almost all the speakers were against the toll roads.
