Priority Projects
In cooperation with its regional partners, TBARTA identified five Regional Priority Projects for 2013, based on factors such as connectivity, regionalism, ability to implement, mobility, and support, among others. These projects are:
- Roosevelt Connector in Pinellas County, connecting the Bayside Bridge, St. Pete-Clearwater Airport, Gateway, and I-275
- Extension of the Suncoast Parkway into Hernando and Citrus Counties
- Managed Lanes on SR 54/56 in Pasco County, between the Suncoast Parkway and I-75
- Managed Lanes on I-275 to allow drivers to bypass the SR 60/Memorial Highway interchange east of the Howard Frankland Bridge
- Port Manatee Connector in northern Manatee County to move freight between Port Manatee and I-75, taking trucks off of local roads

Famous quotes containing the words priority and/or projects:
“It can be fairly argued that the highest priority for mankind is to save itself from extinction. However, it can also be argued that a society that neglects its children and robs them of their human potential can extinguish itself without an external enemy.”
—Selma Fraiberg (20th century)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
