S3 E8 The Wall, the Toll, and the Whole Damn Detour: Poinciana vs. CFX
🚧 In this episode of Barcast, we dive into the expressway that's dividing more than just traffic lanes. Our guest, Michael Laila — local legend and leader of the SCAR of Poinciana — joins us to talk about the Southport Connector project and why it has commuters fired up like brake lights on Pleasant Hill Road.
We talk walls (yes, real concrete ones), tolls that may not save you time, and a community that’s asking, “Do we really need a five-year construction headache when all we wanted was a green arrow at the traffic light?”
🎯 Topics include:
How 100+ businesses feel about being walled off from customers
What happened to the Title VI complaint — and why it matters
The mystery of the silent Army Corps of Engineers (đź‘»)
Why some “elevated expressways” aren’t quite as uplifting as they sound
And whether this plan actually helps anyone not named Google Maps
🛑 Spoiler: Even your GPS might be confused.
🎧 Tune in to hear the facts, the frustrations, and a few sarcastic jabs at concrete barriers. Because when it comes to transportation planning, someone’s gotta call out the roadblocks — literal and bureaucratic.
🚗💥 Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
