I fully expect it to be filled in with a privatized express lanes asap, so that HSR can't even get built later. Then, people will get to either sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic and take hours to get where they're going, or pay like $0.50 a mile to drive the 'express' lanes down the middle.
I hope that whoever the feds give the Florida HSR money to, they provide enough funding to recipients to actually build a proper line, and not some half-assed stop gap measure that will only make the concept look bad. Please, for the love of God don't give this to lines that will only be 79mph or whatever. That was the one good thing about the Tampa-Orlando-Miami plan was that it was going to be full-blown HSR right from the start , and it was going to cost less than the cost of adding a single lane each way to the interstate.
