NO LEXUS LANES

ON I-270

The County Council is currently reviewing transportation improvements for the I-270 corridor. One specifically calls for the highway to have 2 toll lanes (a.k.a. Lexus Lanes, as they are only affordable to the rich on a daily basis) and 2 regular lanes.

Essentially, this proposal would reduce the highway by one lane at a time when it needs to be widened. It is already ridiculous enough to have one lane taken during rush hour by an HOV lane gimmick. Now they are going to take another lane, and gain revenue they can turn over to their developer buddies and the special interests.

It's outrageous.

No one should ever be charged to use the roads they have already paid for with their tax dollars.
