depending on whether regional planners allocate $69 million or $112 million in state funds to subsidize the project. Another $80 million subsidy could be needed for five interchange connectors at Loop 1604

Lemme get this straight. The tax payer is going to pay for building the road, then give it over to some private entity who will in turn charge the tax payer for using the tax built road? Okey, dokey. I suspect I'll use that new toll road as much as I've used the current one - none, nada, zero. Of course that sharp 10 mph curve off the north connection will do it's job and be the end of us all.

Sounds like the RMA is going to run the road. Private leasing of the project was apparently prohibited by SB 792.

I’ve seen several of these Toll project agreements carry a non compete clause. Meaning, they are going to strong arm everyone to use it.
