Suncoast Parkway:
Let Your Voices Be Heard
As many of you already know, the Florida Turnpike Enterprise continues planning on the Suncoast Parkway 2 with the proposed route cutting through the southwest corner of Pine Ridge. That means Pine Ridge would lose about 25 parcels of land – roughly 50 acres. More importantly, several of our Pine Ridge families would be evicted from their homes. The Florida Turnpike Enterprise will hold a series of public meetings on the project – announcement below. This is an opportunity to let your voices be heard.
Florida Turnpike Enterprise Public Announcement:
