Old SRB Villain on Tolls sparks Sarasota clash
Mayor Ben H. Hopkins Jr. denounced SRB toll plans during a Lido Ballroom meeting about a 7,000,000 project. He said the State Road Department would not contribute and that residents must bear most costs to move within Sarasota. He referenced objections from Cecil Webb and a threat of legal action. The proposal includes a toll bridge replacing two prior Ringling Causeway bridges.
