Anyone who drives a car or truck knows our roads are crumbling,” he said in an interview. “Toll money should be used to fix roads.”

What about bike paths and light rail? NY doesn’t spend any highway money on those, right?
“Toll money should be used to fix roads.”....I TOTALLY agree. No more funding AMtrack, Public Transportation, bike paths or hiking trails. How about handicap cut outs at intersections? We were told our town would receive ‘X’ amount of money in our budget for fixing streets. The whole town is in turmoil over making cutouts. We don’t have that many disabled people in the outskirts of our town. However, not one cent has been spent on the streets, which is like the cow pasture road I rode over in my Dad’s tractor.
