With a constitutional amendment passed by voters to begin building a rail network by 2003, the state has begun the process of evaluating routes through Central Florida.
"The Florida Department of Transportation will deliver to the governor and top lawmakers this week a report that says the system should link Central Florida's biggest attractions with a single line -- the option preferred by the county -- that generally follows Interstate 4 and the Bee Line Expressway. The report is a blow to Walt Disney World, which was pushing routes that would have left the Orange County Convention Center -- and nearby Universal Orlando property -- off the route entirely or served it with a spur leg of the system."
