The letter in Sunday’s Herald from the gentleman representing DOT and extolling the “partnership with the State Patrol” was in my opinion, pure fabrication. (“DOT worked closely with WSP.”) The coming toll lane disaster has nothing to do with the management of solutions for our congested roadways. This is simply a grand plan to extract even more money from taxpayers and disguise it as traffic management. I do not believe the letter writer at all. The inability of DOT is far too well documented.
I have no reason to disbelieve the commentary written by Jeff Merrill, “Problems ahead for I-405 HOV toll lanes,” and many reasons not to believe DOT. Credibility is earned not declared.
