Dear Neighborhood Association President,
My name is Michael Eskildsen a business
owner in south Tampa On Gandy Blvd, and a spokesperson for the merchants in the
area. I am calling upon you to please help local merchants and residents around
south Tampa to preserve our community . We are an organization savegandy built
up of everyday south Tampa residents and business owners trying to stop THEA (a
profit toll organization) stop the process of building a concrete elevated toll
road on top of Gandy blvd.
The tax payers of Florida just spent 22 million dollars for the beautification
on Gandy, and we feel the purpose was to lay the foundation for an organization
at our expense. The toll road could never been thought of until we the
taxpayers widened the road. Since we paid for it we would like the opportunity
to see our neighborhood enjoy the new roadway before any further construction
process.
Did you also know that THEA ( The Hillsbrough County Expressway Authority) will
make a decision and said they do not need our voice to decide on this
project.They have said they will do it without our vote.
We feel it is every citizens right to have their voice herd I am sure you will
agree, so we have developed www.savegandy.com
for the voice of people.
This web site is to educate the public of
the pros and cons, and give them the opportunity to sign a petition and let
their voice be herd anyway and let government know we still have rights in our
communities.
Please, I am asking you to please forward
this to all association members so we can educate them about the project. With
out the knowledge and help from our neighbors, the concrete toll will plow into
our neighborhood. Please help us get the word out so people can see what is
going on and have a voice for their community. We would do the same for you and
thank you for your time.
Thank You,
Michael Eskildsen
