Third CCC bridge proposed

[Uncle Rob]

The Fed's won't allow tolls on all bridges to CC. there has to be at least one toll fee. Such as Jamestown which is another island.

This state can't afford to build it in the first place. It'll never happen.

That's just it...THEY can't , but they figure that since we live and travel there, then WE should pay for it!!!

Sounds like some flunky looking to sound "important" to his/her superiors, proposed this half-arsed idea without doing ANY research.

You know, the "I'm just the idea man, someone else has to solve the traffic/building/cost problems" kind of idiot.

In other words: business as usual for this state!

Propose it, sign all the documents, get all the permits, issue all the contracts and THEN figure out how WE will pay for something that will be the new "Big Dig"!!!!

I saw this today too - doubt it will happen.

Interesting - though for Aquidneck Island they now will have Tolls on both the Jamestown side and the Tiverton side so while Jamestown has a way, A.I. does not.
