Thank god tolls are finally going to go up. I was afraid we would never have a chance to pay more for getting less. Now that the toll booths are completely automated and no longer need toll-takers to collect money, WHY do we need to increase the fee? It sounds like they are planning on padding the east end of the Richmond bridge with $75 million dollars. Or at least, padding the salaries of those who are tasked with "improving traffic". Nothing will relieve traffic congestion, but with half a billion to spread around, some fat cats are gonna be getting fatter.
Remember paying for the car behind you, when the tolls were only 50 cents? That gesture sure flew out the window in a hurry.
