NASALS star Ramp's closure a boon •#AMP, FROM 18 allow SunP0s users to elec- tronically pay their toll at 50 mph, instead of at the current 20 mph limit. The fear: Too much high- speed SunPass traffic will be weaving from the toll lanes on the left side of the expressway to the Interstate 95 on -ramps on the right. At the same time, slower -moving 18-wheelers, buses, taxis and minivans have been entering the expressway from the rene- gade on -ramp on the right and trying to immediately weave to the left en route to Inter- state 195, the Julia Tuttle Causeway and the beaches. It's a valid concern given the anarchic approach of ton many aggressive drivers. But let's be clear: Closing the ramp is good business for MDX — an agency already poised to dig deeper into everyone's pockets over the next decade as it converts the five local roll roads into an all - electronic, pay-as-you-go sys- tem. Think about all of the truckers who have been head- ing to the port most weekday mornings. tying up traffic try- ing to negotiate the local street grid and blasting through the neighborhoods to save a S5 toll. Even if 10 per- cent of them surrender, that's mo re lucre for MDX. Independent trucker John Lopez said MDX better not bank on a lot ofhis fellow drivers suddenly paying the Airport Expressway roll — especially since the freight companies aren't going to reimburse them. "Man, that's going to be a killer," said Lopez, who drives a triple -axle rig and had just finished his third Medley -to - port round-trip Friday after- noon. "With fuel prices going up and now 1 have to look at a S6.50 toll.., No way" Streetwise the Soothsayer predicts traffic will be notice- ably heavier for the foresee- able future on Northwest 36th and 20th streets and the north -south avenues in the area — 27th, 22nd,17th and 12th. So, who else is going to have to change their driving habits? Thousands of people who have been commuting down- town from North Miami -Dade communities like Carol City and Miami Lakes without get- ting onto 1-95 until they hit Allapattah. Hundreds of suburbanites from west Broward suburbs don't mind paying the toll for the Gratigny Parkway, but would rather traverse the local side streets and dodge the Airport Expressway roll before venturing onto 1-95 just north of downtown. Transit officials are trying to fine up a bunch of new Sunl'asses for Miami -Dade Transit bus drivers who have been using the back streets and the renegade ramp to "deadhead" from the Central yard to their routes on the north beaches without paying the toll_ The only segment of the driving public that won't feel the sting of the ramp closure: tire -rescue and ambulance vehicles. MDX engineering director Alfred Lurigados said con- struction crews will be outfit- ting the ramp with a heavy- duty electronic gate that can be triggered by workers inside the toll plaza. The debate whether to close the ramp has raged for more than a decade, breaking out in a miniature civil war of sorts dependiag on whether you lived in the working class neighborhoods north or south of the expressway. Many have been there long enough to member when the road was originally called the 36th Street Tollway. Residents of the north side neighborhoods like Hadley Park didn't me any reason to close the ramp. They're going to have to drive a little bit far- ther if they want to reach 1-95 without paying a tolL But the majority of Allapat- tah residents on the south side of the expressway, espe- cially those with kids walking to Miami Jackson Senior High or Moore Pmk. are celebrat- ing. They've borne the brunt of the noise and traffic prob- lems since the ramp opened with the tofwey in 1961- "It's about time," said Hen- rietta Bush, who has lived in the shadow of the expressway for more than two decades. "The trucks, oh, they're terri- ble. They have been far a long time. I'll be happy when they're gone." G^ a commuting question or idea for a future column?

FPL estimated 18,803 customers lost power, spokesman Serge Mihail- itchenko said. Possible causes included debris hit- ting lines or lightning strikes, he said. About 12,000 of those customers were in Broward, with the largest numbers in the central and northern part of the county, Mihaihtchenko said. FPL hoped to have power back to those homes by late Sunday, he said. Several fires also burned around U.S. 27 in Broward and Krome Avenue i Dade, but none threatened homes Sunday evening, said David McCarty of the Division of Forestry. — DIANA MOSKOVITZ MIAMI-DADE Police looking far driver in hit-and-run Miami -Dade police are asking the public's help in their search for the motor- ist who struck a pedestrian early Sunday in west Miami -Dade, then tied the scene.
