TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â Of the 16 people who chose to publicly share their thoughts on the Welaunee Boulevard Expansion Project, the overwhelming refrain was to wait before making such a long lasting and expensive decision.
The project aims to ease traffic in the northern part of Tallahassee.
It's expected to generate $104.6 million in sales and revenue, $2 million worth of car maintenance and fuel cost savings by 2025, and 650 new jobs. But people like Kathy Archibald who live in the affected area say, "This road is too soon, it's too expensive, and there are cheaper alternatives."
