Those transportation planners at CAMPO have stepped in it again!

Now they want to bring 40,000 more cars on to MoPAC with another toll road (SH45 in southwest Austin) over the Edwards Aquifer!  Why?  Because big boy developers and land speculators want their roads paid for by…guess who…you and me.  We can pay the tolls and still sit in traffic!

You can stop this madness.  Just do this please before 6 pm next Monday when CAMPO will vote on the 2035 plan.

What to say:

Dear Mayors Leffingwell, Garver and Coleman, Judge Biscoe, and Commissioner Beckett:

I am counting on you to put some common sense into transportation planning in our region.  That means voting yes to eliminate SH45 (the southwest toll road) from the CAMPO 2035 plan.

Then say whatever else you want to but keep it clean!

If you want to know what community activist wonks have to say about these complex issues, go here:
