The Garden State Parkway was built with the same promise, once the bonds were paid in full, the tollbooths would be bulldozed. The bond was approved by voters in 1952, and the last piece of the highway (connecting it to the NY Thruway) was completed in 1957. I don't know the term on those loans (seems to be a well-kept secret on the internet), but since we are out to 65+ years, I have the feeling we got hoodwinked on that one.

I understand that he lived a little bit too large and went broke. Then he started an insulation company and he sold that a few years ago to a big firm for millions. Hopefully he is wiser this time around. |

It goes against my cheap bastard tenets, but there is some traffic down here that is brutal, no way could I ever be a commuter. Besides, a really smart dood told me the express lanes have no speed limits |

Then again, I drive so fast that a cop could not catch me, and that is only my crusing speed. |

Do you think a private road companies can build roads more efficiently than government road builders? Who has the greater incentive to maintain and optimally design the road, gov't (who has a captive source of income) or a private company (who must satisfy paying customers)? The feel of immediate cost would reduce traffic. The feel of immediate revenue would incentivize more road building. Sometimes I value my time at a higher rate than the toll and other times I don't. I appreciate being able to make that choice. |

1mph over and they would nail you, but there were no warnings about reduced speed ahead. There were only speed limit signs you really couldn't notice and the limit got lower and lower really fast. The state ousted those PDs and had the county sheriff take over. |

I have yet to see gov efficient in anything:SSA, Medicare/aid, USPS, Amtrak, DOD spending, etc... If gov were more efficient our gas tax dollars would be more than sufficient. |
