Mayor Dean Trantalis announced late Tuesday that the city commission formally voted to accept the proposal to build an underground transit system connecting downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach, though other firms have 45 days to submit competing proposals."This represents an innovative approach to addressing traffic congestion and transit needs in 21st century America," the mayor tweeted."Boring Co.

For more child trafficking?

Wouldn't it be a better idea to maybe, just maybe, fix the perpetually broken sewage system first? Just a thought.

Great idea in a state that can’t have basements because the water table is so high. At least there are no very recent tragic events caused by water damage to underground structures in close proximity that might show this to be a very bad idea.

Not the highway above the streets It cost so much more than building it on the ground... 🙁

It will be a water tunnel

An underground tunnel in an area with such a high water table and prone to sinkholes is a bad idea. No matter where you are in South Florida, you’re not that far from the beach.

He'll f' it up

To fight the speech censorship blocking of big media political interests, we need Gettr!

With a large spiked club, I hope 🤞🏻

That only mean taxpayers welfare to a man who pay less than he takes.

What could go wrong?

But its only for EV’s right?

Why doesnt he invest on buildings that wont collapse or even better evacuate south florida on its slowly but steady sinking

Underground anything in Florida is a horrible idea. Let's see an EIS. Expect massive sinkholes.

Request shoukd be to UN not US ...even if US helps with troops police advisors

Need to get the shibarmy on it, with all the digging experience they’re getting on shibaswap will done in no time 👍👍

Hate this guy

Can he insure no collapse of underground tunnel ?

Just the thing you want to do with sea levels rising, build a tunnel in Florida. Barnum was right…

The cognitive dissonance of investing in anything long term in South Florida is impressive. It’s all going to be under the ocean in 100 years.

Okaaayyy.....

Called wasting money that could be better spent!

A state that is full of sink holes and sinking into the ocean. Great idea.

Don't think that's a good idea. It's a nightmare collapse waiting to happen

Elon Musk Is On The Hook For Billions If He Loses Lawsuit Over Tesla’s SolarCity DealTesla’s billionaire CEO claims the carmaker’s 2016 acquisition of the solar panel installer was good for investors, but some investors filed a lawsuit over the deal that could result in one of the biggest judgments ever against an individual corporate executive.
