For years the residents of Meadow Pointe have been promised an extension of SR 56 from BBD into the community and the project has been delayed repeatedly. The extension to Mansfield has the asphalt done, and even signage is up at the intersection of SR 56 and Mansfield (see photos) ! Asphalt is being put down on the Mansfield to Meadow Pointe Blvd. portion. So why isn't the BBD to Mansfield segment open?
Reports in the newspapers today attribute the latest delay to disagreements with TECO over who is to pay the cost of relocating utility lines. TECO says the developers are responsible for those costs. Of course you know what position the developers take over the estimated $600,000 cost. So the opening of this first segment remains delayed.
Pasco County Commissioner, Pat Mulieri is quoted today in the St. Pete Times as stating: "We worked very diligently to build that road. I've been in all the meetings and (the utilities issue) never came up. The people are going to be very angry, and I don't blame them."
Yes, the people are angry!
Commissioner, the people also don't understand why the previously approved Pasco National Tennis Center remains "bogged down" without resolution.
