Since most Coronado residents won’t use the tunnel – why not fund the tunnel with tolls on the tunnel -so those that use it, pay for it?
That’s the way the bridge was paid for.
I’m old enough to remember pre-bridge days. When I was a kid we’d go to the Hotel Del for the occasional “special occasion” brunch – and take the car ferry. The bridge was built, the car ferry eliminated, and tolls paid for the bridge.
I understand that the residents benefit, from the tunnel by reduced traffic… But so do the North Island workers – no stop lights, etc.
But what do I know… I only go to Coronado to go to the Del or Chez Loma.
