Yea, thanks for the insight. Hopefully when it gets more populated around 417/429 then they can at least let go of the tolls on 408. I figure by that time, traffic will be a nightmare.

Maybe by then we'll have better public transport to get some people off the roads.

Eh, its not likely. The next thing already proposed is extending 408 east to the coast. I also wouldn't be surprised to hear Osceola wants help funding its Osceola expressway extension... eventually to the east coast as well, along with south to make another beltway. Plus, there is interest in using its revenue to fund public transit... the tolls on 408 aren't going anywhere. The best you can hope for is they don't keep up with inflation.

520/528 work pretty well for that purpose imo, don't see the point

I remember reading a few years back that they wanted to extend the 408 to Titusville. With the changes in the space program, I don't think that will come to fruition.

I think extending the 408 to the space coast would be useless, and just fuel to further the endless sprawl problems we have in this state. Wedgefield is a stupid enough community to begin with. No need to invite more nonsense like that by extending more expressways. 520, 50 and 46 are all good country roads to take to get there, and the 528 is more than adequate if needing to use an expressway.

they did just fund a study to figure out possible routes... this isn't going to construction in the next few years, but in 10-20 years...

I just don't see the point of it... The 528 accomplishes the task of transporting people to the coast just fine. Why the need for another expressway to go the exact same route? At this rate, Central FL as a whole is going to be one massive sprawl the likes of Miami going from Tampa through Orlando to the coast... The stretch between Orlando and Tampa is already starting to become that.

SR 50 needs to get uplift like some other routes- take it on TOP or something east west is terrible and many would get off 1-4
