I would support AAF if it was located west of I-95 north to Jupiter, and then west of The Florida Turnpike.

Totally against AAF - Even if there was a stop on the Treasure Coast, who would use it and for how many times - once, twice a year? - as compared to 32 trains a day going through our area - doesn't make any sense - why don't those who are pushing it buy a house near the tracts and live there.

The same unacceptable damage to Quality of Life on the Treasure Coast occur with no stop or one stop. Use the Florida Turnpike Alignment for a faster and safer High Speed Rail from Orlando to Miami.

while I live near the tracks, the noise is not bothersome but with the addition of 30 trips a day it could easily become unbearable and seriously depress our property values and quality of life. If this goes through, the ultimate winners will be those benefitting from increased freight train traffic which may be the intended goal.

Put it near the 95 area direct to Orlando
Centrally located to everything . Train from Miami to Orlando airport is not smart now how do you get to Disney or Wet an Wild bus lol stop this waste of money jobs are more important and housing and hourly pay increases to support the high cost of living they do not match

The reason I am against All Aboard Florida is that this has been a 50 year plan in the making
for globalism ... getting people out of their cars and building smaller apartmeunts along the
railroad tracks ... a big portion of the he stimulus money in 2009 went to bring in the european
style rail system ... this is not just taking the train to Miami for lunch. Why is the current
plan for tourists from Orlando to Miami AND freight. All Aboard Florida said their business
started because of Panama Canal expansion - that is freight - NOT passenger. Some trains
are okay and needed like in Northeast corridor because it is for commuters and has 38 million
possible riders. Not so in Florida. This private railroad has not been forthcoming or honest ..

New Jersey/York is calling you back, and if you have forgot I95 goes North! If you want excitment and lights move to a bigger city. Don't ruin our quiet towns. It is bad enough that we have to put up with the attitudes of the snowbirds that foget how to drive as soon as they get to the FL line, but on the bright side they will be the ones getting killed becase they can't move fast enough.

I grew up on the Jersey Shore. The NJ Transit train went from Bay Head in Ocean County north to Newark, NJ and NYC. It was fun! I used it several times only. It always lost money - going to NYC!!! - and it was heavily subsidized. Probably still is.
