CDeb Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 How else do you want to pay for it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We can always raise the gasoline tax. I mean, it's such a steal right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Yes, but not all gasoline taxes go to transportation. Texas has been funneling a portion of it to education. This leaves the door open for pilfering any increase for other uses. At least tolling will keep the money to transit only projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDeb Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I was being facetious. Raising the gas tax wouldn't exactly be a popular move right now, knowhatimean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieDidIt Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 I know all the funding went through, but as of yet there is no construction. The traffic has gotton so heavy on the feeder,s after the freeway ends, these past few months. Its really starting to add quite a bit to the commute. ALso MOntgomery County needs to get cracking on 2978, the single lanes are backed up at the Parkway light now about 1/4 mile. Once that Walmart opens on that corner, it ain't gonna be pretty.
