Since I dont live in FLL or know the area well, I have a few questions for ya…

What is the FEC and what does it connect? Also, you mention that is a future transit - will that come before or after the streetcar project?

Does that green line already exist or is that also a future project? Id have to guess future…

What is the orange line in the southern region of the map?

Thanks!
