- Abstract
- Over five years have passed since Florida enacted its landmark growth management law. In that time, Florida planners and public officials have gained some hard-earned experience in the practical aspects of implementing a statewide growth management program. As expected, transportation issues have been at the forefront of the growth policy debates during this "shakedown" period. One of the primary motivating factors that led Florida to pursue its ambitious growth management program in the first place was a general public dissatisfaction with the traffic and highway congestion that accompanied the state's surging growth during the 1970s and 1980s. It now appears that some of these issues may not be easily resolved as state and local governments wrestle with the complex and competing needs and demands of this booming Sunbelt state. However, Floridians are gaining a better understanding of the nature of the transportation challenge and, as a result, are beginning to rethink some of their original assumptions about growth and mobility.
