[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] Today's Trains [URL=http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2018/07/09-brightline-permits-for-orlando-expansion-get-ok-tampa-is-next-target]Newswire[/URL] confirms what we have heard: "Last month, Orange County commissioners greenlighted an environmental permit allowing Brightline to begin building a 125-mph corridor through 106 acres of thick brush and wetlands immediately adjacent to the Beachline Expressway east of Orlando International Airport." Construction to start later this year with 2021 completion. And Brightline intent to build on to Tampa also confimred: "An unsolicited proposal in March 2018 by Brightline to the Florida Department of Transportation suggested the state create a mechanism for private developers to lease the median of I-4 and portions of either state routes 528 or 417 between the Orlando airport and Tampa. On June 22, Florida Gov. Rick Scott did just that, announcing a request for proposals to lease the property and construct a rail line." Interesting that they mention highway 528 and 417. Seems like it's more or less direct route using 528 from the airport to I-4, unless they intend to go east on 528 to 417 then circle south getting to I-4 near Celebration. [/QB][/QUOTE]
