Google map the West Bank expressway in New Orleans or Beltway 8 in Houston.....imagine that but the freeway is tolled and isn't elevated except over grade-separated intersections. There is still an existing surface route that has at-grade intersections that won't be tolled, and there will be controlled access to the tolled section.
The tolls collected for cars using the freeway will back bonds used to pay for the new infrastructure.

So why was there talk by AJF about this not occuring?? This has been written in stone since the start of this thread?

I don't think they'd eliminate signals. Maybe some smaller ones. But the major ones would have to remain. The operations would change...like, Michigan left turns, etc.

Elevated expressways can be useful, but the WBE is not without its problems. Most of those problems stem from the people driving on it, but there are some flaws in design that exacerbate the problems.
You end up with some people driving 40mph in a 60 and others driving 80 in a 60, and not enough room to merge to enter or exit.
