RI Toll Road Proposal!!!

[MakoMike]

Like the state is so huge no one will ever think about driving around it? 395 to 84 or 86? All those people who commute from Westerly to Groton/New London will be so pleased.

There will be people willing to pay tolls.
























Once, to move to another state.

If the mileage tax happens that will be the most ridiculous thing ever. We already have high gasoline taxes, high registration fees, and property taxes on cars(which a lot of states don't). It is a very nice place to live but it is very expensive. I don't know the numbers but I have heard that people have been leaving RI and I think that will continue.

For me, it would be a blessing in disguise for when I go down to LI to visit my kids.

495>Mass Pike>84>684>Hutch>Whitestone, only takes about 25 minutes more than 195>95>Throggs Neck when traffic isn't an issue. And how many times is that the case with 95 through CT and NY?

Plus it's much better road. 95 in CT and NY is a freaking disaster.

Traffic is always an issue on I95 in CT south of New Haven and in NY. I usually cross over and take the Pkwy once I get last New Haven. Exit 38 is a connector between the Pkwy and I95.

The Pike-84-684 (if going to NJ then Tappan Zee) is the only way I will drive to NY or anywhere farther south. 95 thru the Bronx is hell. Its the worst stretch of interstate I've seen in my life... well 295 thru DC is pretty bad but not because of traffic, but because of 8 foot wide lanes, a maze of jersey barriers and no shoulder.

Just keep re-electing the Tax and Spend Dummycrats, you made your bed now sleep in it...

WTF are the voters in RI STOOPID???????????

Governer can't do anything, all the power is in the legislature and they ignored the voice of the voters 3 elections ago when we overwhelmingly passed a separation of powers referendum...
