I do not have an interest or share in the loop. I will not realize a monetery gain from the loop. So I am not a stakeholder. I am, however, someone who believes that people have a right to dispose of their own property as they see fit. On the occasion where a property owner is asked to give up some/all of their property, I would expect all options to be truely considered. I don't believe that to be the case here. I believe their are other options and road improvements that may work. I am keeping an open mind about this, by listening to ALL ideas. I consider it close-minded to hang your hat on the fantasy that the loop is the absolute solution to everything.
My job has also required me to travel around southern Florida. I've used the toll roads you mention, as well as others. The difference between those toll roads and this one, is that Florida was pro-active. They utilized more sparsely populated property, such as marshes and orange groves.
Your commute won't be shorter and you won't save extra gas money. You may save some time.
