(Fort Lauderdale, Fla) - City leaders are debating the best way for a new commuter rail to cross the New River, by bridge or tunnel.
Fort Lauderdale's mayor Dean Trantalis says FDOT and the county want a huge bridge.
Trantalis says a 2-mile-long 50-foot bridge would negatively impact the city's multi-billion-dollar marine industry whereas a comparably priced tunnel would not.
City commissioners plan to adopt a new resolution based on their final bridge-tunnel stance at tonight's meeting.
