Informal TODs happening at the Tampa Expressway:

Dr. Martin Stone, Planning Director for the Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority, tells us that about $1 billion in new development at its urban end has occurred since the opening of the Tampa Expressway — unlike regular TODs, which are highly subsidized, none were needed for these developments. He very kindly provided us with the following photos:
