How I love a good fight! This morning the NYS Thruway Authority is meeting at City Hall to discuss the possibility of adding more toll booths around the Buffalo, NY area; and the community has responded.
All around the WNY area people are paying their tolls in pennies. And man are the toll booth operators pissed!
Serves them right though. The original agreements regarding the toll booths on the 90 said that they would be removed when the original fees for construction of the road were paid. That happened years ago. And NYS has, out of greed, kept the toll booths in place to have income for projects other than the Thruway. As one listener on 103.3 The Edge put it, “We get these nice electric signs that say pothole ahead.”
