Remembering Kayla Ricon-Miller: Investigation continues one month after her deathParents react to bill requiring education of communism in k-12
MIAMI (AP) Officials in the Florida Keys are launching a study into whether a toll could be placed on the highway that connects the chain of islands to the Florida mainland. The Miami Herald reported Sunday that Monroe County Commissioners have endorsed a resolution calling for a study. The resolution says the tolls would apply to non-residents only. U.S. 1 is the primary road that runs from the peninsula all the way to Key West. One county commissioner said the idea of putting a toll on U.S. 1 has been around for 30 years. The paper reported some residents and businesses are fearful tolls could scare away tourists. Supporters, however, say a toll could ease traffic problems and that the money could be used to take care of environmental concerns.
