New toll lanes for I-25

[Rumline]

Hopefully the El Paso County guy will be able to resist this:

El Paso County Commissioner Mark Waller said he's advocating for El Paso County to put another $9 million toward the project through its regular budgeting process this year and next.

Waller, a key player in getting the recently approved funding requests on the November ballot, said he's heard from constituents who aren't pleased with the idea of widening the interstate with toll roads. "We've identified the $350 million necessary to get this project moving forward," he said after Monday's media briefing. "I haven't seen a capital construction need for tolling to make this project work."

ETA: we need to show up and argue against tolls:

CDOT will hold two open houses for the project this week. The first will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Kirk Hall at the Douglas County Fairgrounds; the second will be 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday at the El Paso County Office of Emergency Management, 3755 Mark Dabling Boulevard
