Use eminent domain to build 3rd bridge at Longbar Point

In re: “FDOT tries selling Ringling-like bridge, but Cortezians aren’t buying it”: I bet they’d buy a new bridge that matches the old bridge if FDOT said there’s a new Ringling-like bridge going in at 53rd Avenue West to the north end of Longboat Key. It’s time the Manatee County Commission gets a backbone and use eminent domain at Longbar Point for the much-needed third bridge.
