Re: $4 to $6 toll with size increase of the HRBT.
So if they're adding 4 lanes, what happens to the existing lanes, and would those 4 new lanes be the only ones with a toll on them?

I have seen many tolls with EZ Pass. I have never seen a toll in a high traffic area that didn't create a huge backup, despite EZ pass lanes.
$4 to $6 is nuts.

i think we should stop paying taxes all together for shit like this, but that is just me, and when was the last time VDOT actually did something right or did something that didn't take 3 years?

Re: $4 to $6 toll with size increase of the HRBT.
The tolls aren't the problem for me; the question is when would the tolls would be lifted. (Most likely never.)
2 more things:
-Didn't we just find out DMV was hoarding a billion dollars the other day? Use that since it was just going to be laundered away to some asshole's pocket anyways.
-I think an outside partnership should build it and collect the tolls until they recoup their money. It'll be built quicker (no way it should take 5 years to do), cheaper (way less than $4 billion), be done right the first time (Hello I-64 HOV lanes by the Hampton Coliseum having to be redone 3x by the same group while getting paid 3x) and the local/state governments will be real quick the snatch the tolls away from them after a certain number of months. Basically, I think VDOT is managed by a bunch of fucking idiots at all levels, whom don't know how to do their jobs.

Go to South Florida and ride the turnpike, especially through West Palm in Rush Hour. Traffic keeps scooting with the SunPass. Those that do not have one simply use the right hand lanes cut out on the side..

But, in the mean time, we're paying the taxes of a state that doesn't nickle and dime its residents, but with talk of nickel and diming us on top of that too.
