I think that was me in the black Ford Edge (at 1:35) on 45 passing the guy filming. Looks like everyone is doing 100+ mph (or is the film sped up?)

At least you CAN drive on it. Beats sitting on the 35 parking lot at certain times of the day.

Its long been my dream that Austin would be a limited access paradise. Perhaps we can somehow work out how to charge a toll for East Austin residents to get to the West side, jacking up their property tax every year isnt moving them out as fast as I'd like. Like a $20 toll so they wont cross.

That isn't nice keeping people out. You should be good that your city is growing and people want to live there.
