[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They could make so much money if they privatized DC 295 and made it a toll road.[/quote] 1. The costs associated with maintaining the roadway (currently covered by private funding) would necessitate exorbitant tolls. The road would never pay for itself or turn a profit for the private owner 2. Shunpiking (people avoiding a tolled DC 295) would create a mess on streets like Minnesota Ave and add more traffic to the MD side of the Beltway 3. Bad political optics for putting a toll road through one of the poorest parts of the city[/quote] "currently covered by public funding" -- regret the typo.[/quote]
