The city/state finance all roads with TOLLs - one to two dollars - interstates 80, 84, 79. With tolls, they have one of the best road systems in the west. There are toll roads in Toronto. NB had talked about using tolls to build roads. *** http://www.news24houston.com/content/headlines/?ArID=11251&SecID=2 Toll Road expansion might force people to move With the Hardy Toll Road expanding into new areas in North Houston, some residents are being forced to move out. The Harris County Toll Road Authority is buying out 134 tracts of residential, commercial and vacant land to complete the Toll Road extension project. This means residents whose homes lie on the projected path between the North Loop and Downtown are being paid to leave. The $101 million project, originally slated to begin at the end of this year, will not break ground until 2005. ***
