Refuting Trinity Toll Road supporters’ analogies

Steve Blow, in an opinion column instead of his normal Metro piece, says a Trinity Toll Road would be just like Northwest Highway at Bachman Lake. This would be merely laughable if it weren’t false, due to the simple fact that Northwest Highway isn’t a freeway-style toll road! I guess Blow’s analogy spinner forgot that one inconvenient fact. Ditto for earlier in the column, when he wondered if Garland Road at White Rock would be a suitable analogy.

Oh, thinking of that, Steve do you think Bachman Lake users would like a freeway-type toll road running past? Or Arboretum and White Rock Lake users, for that matter?

I would love to see a Trinity Park develop. But, to go there in the midst of a six-lane freeway that could be a designated truck route? No, thanks.
