Self-storage truck access on narrow SW 196th Avenue

A self-storage facility rezoning off US 41 drew opposition over a site plan that routed trucks onto SW 196th Avenue, a 19-foot-wide road used by pedestrians, cyclists, and pets. The developer now says he'll seek US 41 access with FDOT's blessing, calming most opponents.
