The Sun Rail bill passed a special session of both houses of the Florida legislature this week, and is expected to be signed by Gov. Crist. This is the beginning of something great for the citizens of Florida. Envision a rail network linking the major metropolitan regions of the state and local rail/bus transit systems that operate within those regions. That vision just got kick started and will be a reality 20 years from now. We've got a lot of work ahead of us, but the future of Florida business and quality of life just got a bit brighter.
