Selling Toll Road Could Be Costly 4/18/2007 590 KLBJ-AM As Austin debates the Trans Texas Corridor, a transportation guru warns Texans not to make the same mistake Indiana made. David Stall with Corridorwatch.com says Texas should look at the toll road issue from all angles. He says Indiana sold its toll road to Cintra, the company proposing to build the Trans Texas Corridor, and found out quickly it was a bad deal for drivers. He says within six months of taking over operations, they closed all the turnarounds on a 157-mile turnpike. He says that forced drivers to go to the next toll plaza and pay again to turn around. Stall says private toll roads are not for the public. He says their objective is to make money.
