(1/3): In case you haven’t heard, there are unconfirmed reports of FDOT “discontinuing,” “rescinding,” and even “abandoning” the 4 proposed Northern Turnpike Extension routes.
The toll roads pose a grave threat to our rural lifestyles, our Florida springs & the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
FWF continues to work with coalition partners, community advocates and you to turn this pause into a permanent #NoBuild decision.
Thanks to you and all the conservation advocates on the ground, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) announced a pause to the Northern Turnpike Extension. Today, FDOT stated there are 'no viable proposed corridors.'
This is what happens when you don’t ease the pressure. Amazing mobilizing by the @NoRoadsToRuin and concerned Floridians across the state. Still need a #nobuild or ‘no action’ to seal the deal.
State transportation officials on Thursday officially killed a proposal that would have extended Florida's Turnpike from where it now ends at Interstate 75 near Wildwood east to connect with U.S. 19.

I am so proud of the local residents that stood up and demanded the #nobuild option! Grassroots organizing works. Let's keep that momentum & vote for candidates that want to protect our water, agriculture & local communities!

DOT pauses planning on Florida Turnpike extension amid opposition, which is still raising questions about decision.
"Until FDOT makes its position crystal clear, we will remain vigilant and involved," @NoRoadsToRuin environmental coalition said.

"Citizens groups, such as @NoRoadsToRuin, successfully lobbied county and municipal governments in the affected areas to issue 'no-build' resolutions"

2/3: One thing we know with certainty: The “No Build” resolutions, and all of your tireless work across the region, are the reasons we are getting closer to a complete victory.
But as of this moment, there are many things that we do not know...
Mike Wright: JUST NOW: The state has put a pause on plans for the Northern Turnpike Extension and will instead concentrate on improving I-75, according to solid information I received and confirmed Wednesday afternoon: https://t.co/8cXFl0xPb7
Bronson joins the Levy and Citrus Boards of County Commissioners as well as at the City Council of Dunnellon, Inverness, Inglis, and Yankeetown as local governments that have unanimously passed No Build resolutions against the #NorthernTurnpikeExtension
Bronson is the latest local government to send a clear #NoBuild message to @GovRonDeSantis, state leadership, and @MyFDOT that the #NorthernTurnpikeExtension is NOT something local leaders and residents want for their communities. https://t.co/ANlBW4ImvH
@wmfeorlando @wusf “What we want from the commissioners is to go on record and send a letter to DOT standing on the platform no build for the extension,” https://t.co/JCrlgK7HyQ
