And went from 6 lanes, including parking, to 2.

Don't know if it applies to Tampa but after WW II, General Motors went around the country buying up trolly lines. They ripped out the infrastructure and converted to (GM) busses. Then after people were used to busses they quietly sold off these lines, often at a loss. But they accomplished the destruction of dozens of trolly lines which was their goal.
