I think one thing is certain, HOT lanes will put even more upward pressure on housing prices in the Fburg area. Not a bad thing for those of us already here.
What are the tolls being proposed?
I posted on this topic:
Stafford County looking for relief from sprawl?
With a million new jobs projected to be coming to Northern Virginia over the next couple of decades, I would stop calling it sprawl and start calling it reality. Build now or forever keep infrastructure lagging behind the population growth that WILL come with those new jobs.
