Could toll roads be in the Albuquerque area's future?

Been there. Some parts of Miami tried that years ago. You end up with entrance ramps with a toll both with traffic jams spilling out to the residential areas. Tempers flared at times.

I have to agree with Andros, Tollways are the most efficient way of funding such a project.

Do I see something like this in the future? Possibly... The tunnels through the Manzanos seems a bit of a pipe dream however, but not entirely out of the question.
I thought the light rail system was another pipe dream of Marty's, however it is definately in the works!

So who knows... perhaps Richardson's bullet train may one day be a reality.

Well, maybe in a million years.

The Rio Grande Rift splits some more,
Mt Taylor and Jemez volcano and even
the West Mesa group start to spew and spew,
pretty soon, we've got lava tubes/tunnels all over the friggin' Manzanos!!!

New Yorkers pay for everything. Some of our bridge tolls are up to $9 now.
