One is where you’re already going, and the other is where you’re about to start.That history was recalled recently after the Tampa City Council moved forward with plans to extend the popular Riverwalk from the downtown side to the river’s west bank. The City Council voted 5-2 to spend $10 million over three years from the West Tampa Taxing District to subsidize pedestrian walkways that further connect…
