What's hilarious to me is that Terri Hall, et al got them to rescind the approval of the EA in order to block the toll road, as if it matters in an EA whether a freeway is tolled or "free". If it doesn't get environmental approval, then no freeway can be built, leaving them to sit at lights the rest of their lives.

Indeed. It's going to take two or three years at least to get the new environmental study completed, and nothing can happen there till it's done, regardless of funding mechanism. It will be quite funny if SA gets some of the money from Obama's stimulus plan for road construction (remember they have to be 'ready to go plans' which 281N was..) and that project is no longer on the table due to the new environmental study. So we'll end up getting the exact same toll road up there anyhow, but not for another 5-7 years, costing 40% more because of inflation. Just like the local agitators and hooligans who came before her (Kay Turner, C.A. Stubbs, Jack Finger) Ms. Hall is arrogant enough to think she speaks for all of us and knows what is best for us. This time it appears she might just have cut off our collective nose to spite our face.
