Thanks for all the input, guys. In my opinion, it just doesn't work here and is a bit of a
boondoggle. if you're like me and drive a lot for work AND are in a grey area with tolls being covered on your milage (
) it's damn near impossible to smoothly travel on an alternate route up there...a route which isn't a total shit show. I can't help but also think of the huge influx of people/housing we are currently gaining in North/NE/NW Austin with this housing crisis and what that will do for congestion/tolls.
