Don: Surface streets are built at the city government level. So they are paid, at least here, through property tax. Dunno what you use for revenue there. However: many cities have wanted to massively expand their road capacity- despite the fact their residents don't want thier roads any wider, thank you very much. But they plow ahead with plans for 6 and 8 lane surface streets. I kid you not. But they can't afford it! So what do they want? A fee for every time you leave your driveway, or a frontage tax in addition to what you pay, or a meter on your car, or yet more gas tax, or a fee based on how many cars you have, tacked onto your water bill, or..... You get the point. Your comment about paying some private company just got to me, cause it looks like some of our local councils are just as bad. And yes, I knwo what you'll say- bad traffic can't be fixed with capacity. Wish i could convince them too. But it looks like I'll have to kis another 20 feet of my yard away instead. Later, Alexander
