Tampa City Council approved plans to expand the iconic Tampa Riverwalk Thursday afternoon. Currently, the 2.6-mile route winds along Tampa's waterfront. This plan would add 6 miles through West Tampa. While all city councilors say the project is a nice idea, two voted against it today because of the cost. For context, when the city planned for this riverwalk expansion before the pandemic, the estimated cost of the project was roughly $30 million. Then, last month, City Council approved a new construction agreement to nearly double that price tag to $56.8 million.
