Another reason Tampa Bay needs mass transit: Fewer people are ...
Here's one important but under-appreciated reason Tampa Bay needs to pick up the pace on better mass transit and lessen its dependence on more and bigger roads. Fewer people are learning how to drive. A new University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute survey out this week found that over the past three decades a smaller proportion of Americans have been getting their drivers' licenses. Consider these trends from 1983 to 2014: • There has been 47 percent decline in 16-year-olds with d..>> view originalPort Tampa Bay doing well despite low oil prices, shaky global ...
TAMPA รข€” Port Tampa Bay faces challenges posed by a shaky global economy, but officials say the port has performed well despite the headwinds. And while oil prices and the stock market have been hammered and forecasts for the world's economy trimmed, 2016 could prove to be "one of the most active, strategically important years in the port's history," port CEO Paul Anderson said Wednesday at his annual State of the Port address. "The state of this port is good," Anderson said. Port Tampa Bay gre..>> view originalBucs DC Mike Smith promises flexible scheme, multiple looks
Former Falcons coach Mike Smith knows something about the NFC South and the stockpile of talented quarterbacks in the division. So he promises to bring a 'flexible,' defense with 'multiple looks,' to the Bucs as defensive coordinator, a welcome departure from the staid Tampa 2. "It's going to be very flexible. I think in this day and age, you have to give different looks," Smith said at his introductory news conference Wednesday. "You can't line up in the same look and the same front every time...>> view originalFDOT now says drivers can expect Interstate 275 delays in Tampa ...
TAMPA — Last week, the Florida Department of Transportation told frustrated drivers that the traffic backlogs caused by the new lane alignments on northbound Interstate 275 would improve as people adjusted to the new path. After a week of snarled congestion and backups that spanned the Howard Frankland Bridge, FDOT is standing by its claim that traffic will ease with time, but with one caveat: It'll stay this way for another six weeks. The unanticipated delays result from the removal of an auxil..>> view originalDowntown Tampa office is strategic move for bank that eyes Florida ...

A man raced to the top of a bridge over Tampa Bay. He pulled his five-year-old daughter out of the car and dropped her into the cold water below. You couldn’t help but hear about the story, especially in the Tampa Bay area. Everyone knew what happened to Phoebe Jonchuck in January 2015, months before Tampa Bay Times reporter Lane DeGregory even considered reporting on her killing.

TAMPA — The Lightning certainly didn't make Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Oilers easy on itself. The win wasn't how Tampa Bay drew it up. The Lightning squandered three leads — including a two-goal cushion in the third period — to worst-in-the-Western Conference Edmonton, which had played the night before. It took a wild shorthanded goal by Brian Boyle with eight minutes left for the Lightning to finally take the lead for good. But Tampa Bay (25-17-4) survived, holding on to extend its winning ..>> view originalSuspect sought in Tampa food truck burglary
