While Florida's high-speed rail got the kibosh, The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has given the go-ahead for the SunRail project and is projecting a 2013 opening.

Angela Cotey reports:

"Meanwhile, Orlando-area communities and businesses are putting plans in place to build stations and new developments, promote SunRail as a transportation alternative and determine how they can make the best use of their soon-to-be newest asset.
