The Plantation Trolley (RIP)

Plantation Trolley

The Plantation trolley circulated in an empty Midtown with nothing to do and plenty of parking. A better use for the trolley would be a direct shuttle to downtown Ft. Lauderdale or even Sawgrass Mills. Then people would use it! Parking is an issue in downtown Ft. Lauderdale and at least there are different restaurants, bars, entertainment and shopping at these other destinations.The much awaited, but lets see if it happens, 321 North, is nowhere close to even being actualized. With the downturn in the housing market, everybody's dream of bringing people to Midtown is not coming anytime soon. So why not use our resources and use the trolley for existing areas. The shuttle to these destinations would make Plantation a better place to live by providing public transportation to places people want to go. Saving on gas and parking would be a another benefit.The Plantation Trolley has a lot of potential, lets hope the City uses it right.
