Thanks for the questions, Daniel. 



I theory, I am all for Sun Rail and for alternative forms of public transportation that will reduce our carbon footprint and make travel through Central Florida easier and less expensive.  Many of our residents work in the Disney area and would certainly benefit from this option.



I haven't heard too much being said lately about extending SUN Rail into Polk County.  I found this article:  http://polktpo.com/docs/librariesprovider2/tpo/sunrail-feasibility-study.pdf?sfvrsn=4



I am an advocate for low-cost public transportation and would be open to exploring this as an option.



Thanks for asking.

Karen Welzel,



    What are you on SunRail?  Are you working on bringing here to Polk.  How is the train funded - state, property, sales or federal.
