They’ve rejected Pennsylvania’s application, and are demanding justification.   Good.

    Yup, I got email from Jake Corman yesterday about that. Eddie’s toll would have destroyed the economy of the corridor and the surrounding area.

    Let Philly pay for their own subway.

    It seems awfully unfair to ask those parts of Pennsylvania, which are already economically depressed as it is, to pay for the rich part of the state’s mass transit.

    I drive tractor-tanker everyday to pay the bills. In 10 yrs. I’ve used Rt.80 maybe 5 times, tops.That road sucks for the most part from end to end.(Most do all over Pa)

    I thought Route 80 had relatively good roads (save work crew backups).

    There was a minor problem with groundhog roadkill. The damn things like to sun themselves on the pavement.

    Toll the Sure-Kill Expressway in Philadelphia, the Parkway East in Pittsburgh and all of the roads (expressway, interstate, US, state etc.) in Harrisburg.

    Let “representatives” show the way.

    Or … Let the mass transit systems pay their own way. If not enought paying customers use them, let them go the way of the inter-urban trolley systems.
