The $100 MILLION FREEWAY/PARKWAY
or the $411 MILLION TOLLWAY?
or the $411 MILLION TOLLWAY?
For example, fix290.org created a non-tolled parkway that would move just as many cars as TxDOT's double decker toll road at the Oak Hill convergence of U.S. 290 and Texas 71 (SW Austin).
The smarter non-tolled parkway costs less than $100 million. TxDOT's money grubbing freeway toll costs $411 million (since it needs toll equipment and a bigger foot print to separate the tolled freeway lanes from the frontage roads with stop lights). The tollway allows politicos to tax drivers again without calling it a tax. And, if you've tried to drive free near the new tollways in North Austin, you know exactly how they force drivers onto the tollways.

Hello Sal,
I sent out the following email to Campo, and got the response as noted below. I don't know what this means exactly. Do you? Can you help explain? What is Option 4?

We did receive the various designs, costs and analysis at a public meeting along with the mediators report. That was enough for me to select Option 4. bd

Steven,
Option 4 is what TxDOT is calling a parkway - but it is NOT a parkway - and it IS tolled.
They would call a dog a cat, if it meant they could make money off us. I hope to see you Monday at the final CAMPO hearing for freeway tolls (Capitol at 6pm).
