I gotta be honest, I'm not up on city or county lingo. When something is described as a preferred scenario, for instance, I have no idea how it fits into anything but the basic question of whether or not it means our light rail system comes to fruition.
However, there is in fact a chance for myself and others similarly daunted by all of this to see a preferred transit scenario as postulated by the Hillsborough County Metropolitan Planning Organization.

The meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 24 at the Channelside Cinema Number 10. That's tomorrow, and that's down by the cruise ships. It's aptly taking place smack dab in the middle of the
Tampa Rail Community, so hopefully a few of you birds down there can find a way to make it.

MPO's Transit Study information page, or download the
cute flyer here.
