Who Will Use the New Highway?
May 12, 2006 05:19 AM

This soundoff in the Sun Herald makes a good point. Who is going to use the new highway that will replace the CSX railroad if the federal government spends $700 million to move CSX?

A road less traveled

• I would like to make my comment about moving the railroad tracks north and putting a highway in its place. This is a highway from somewhere and going nowhere. Nobody will use this road, least of all tourists. When tourists come to the Coast, they don't want to drive on a road and see houses and woods. They come here to see the beach and sunbathe on the Gulf waters. I think it's going to cost too much and when all is said and done, we could have used that money building back the Coast.

Here's a question. Why can't they get the money to move the CSX tracks from the casino's? Casino's make hundreds of millions per year so why not tax them for the funds? And cutting funding for the war and to provide help for Katrina victoms to keep pork like this is sickening.
