PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – The bridge and tunnel crowd is what New Yorkers call those who commute in from New Jersey.
In South Florida, there is a bridge versus tunnel crowd involving which to build to get commuters across the New River in Fort Lauderdale.
The heated debate divides Fort Lauderdale and Broward County leaders.
This week, Fort Lauderdale city commissioners agreed they all want the tunnel but voted to accept a bridge if that’s what the county considers more affordable.
Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis is firmly Team Tunnel, and he joined Local 10′s Glenna Milberg to frame out what’s possible and what’s probable.
