The price to construct the toll roads is $450 million. So it'll take roughly 462773 people driving both ways going to and from work on the toll roads all the way, everyday for a year, to pay it off. That's not too bad.

Again, YOU have the option as to whether to take the toll or free roads. No one is twisting any ones arm to take the toll. If you take the 3 free lanes, it will be no different than it is right now. So I fail to see how this is harming anyone's pocket book, unless they choose to take the toll. I bet a lot of people on the north side are going to be extremely GRATEFUL for them.
