The problem with the TTC was not I-69, or leasing the toll road, it was the size of the thing and jamming every type of land transport known to man in a single super wide right-of-way.

Leasing a toll road to a private entity is not a problem as long as the public does not get screwed by the lease terms.

“Leasing a toll road to a private entity is not a problem as long as the public does not get screwed by the lease terms.”

Agree. Unfortunately the leases are often SECRET, so the public doesn’t know how bad it is being screwed, as happened in Canada.

This is a STUPID arrangement, meant only to clean out the WALLETS of taxpayers.
