Question for the I-77 toll road: 1- Is it realistic to think that a two-working family needing to use the toll road can afford the potential of $20 round trip which amounts to $10,000/year (2 people x $20 X 5 days/week x 50 weeks/yr); 2- Free access with 3 or more carpoolers is also not sustainable given the fact that of at least one person may need to to work overtime; personal absences; illnesses, etc; 3- Why is there not a better planning function between NCDOT and Zoning board as uncontrolled growth in Lake Norman has been permitted without adequate infrastructure to support this growth, the citizens were not at fault but must pay for their creations; 4- Is there a realization that businesses using the interstate will have their costs increases and will be passed onto their customers; 5- Given the excessive new costs to residents using the toll road and given new fees and taxes which will eventually levied as the state and county finds the need for more money in time… how are people to afford living in this area?

Thanks for letting me raise these questions. The Governor will not respond to my concerns so perhaps this forum will enable the officials to respond. I hope some or all of these questions may be raised with published replies.
Thank you
