creigh hill: Lake Norman I-77 traffic problems
- 10/19/12 07:09 AM
Over the past several months, you’ve probably heard about plans to widen Interstate 77 using toll lanes. Like you, I was thrilled with the idea that any lane – even a toll lane – would help reduce the awful traffic tie-ups we see on I-77 every weekday. But the more I look into this, the more I’m convinced toll lanes are a bad idea. First, toll lanes won’t solve I-77’s traffic problems. Drivers will pay to use the toll lane only when the free lanes are congested. No congestion, no toll revenue. Right now, the plan is to have the … (0 comments)

creigh hill: Lake Norman area Langtree developer gives new life to old dreams

"We've been developing property for more than 35 years and, frankly, felt this … (0 comments)
