Brakes put on toll road idea The Associated Press January 26, 2007 SALEM - State officials have scrapped plans to study the potential for a private toll road to handle growth in Clackamas County. The Sunrise Corridor project would cost nearly $1 billion and would not attract enough toll-paying traffic to make financial sense, according to a report to the Oregon Transportation Commission from the Macquarie Infrastructure Group, an Australian company. A separate report said it looks more feasible to add lanes to Interstate 205, but that works best if tolls are charged on the entire freeway - not just the new lanes. Members of the commission seemed taken aback by the reports. ``It's time to pull back and think carefully,'' said Chairman Stuart Foster.
