"I disagree Casey.
Yes we live in a very nice town, but there are some serious problems.
1) The traffic situation is serious. I see most cars have single military personnel. I am sure you can start negotiating with the military to have a parking…"

anne pilgrim commented on John Scheck's blog post 'Coronado Bridge and Corridor to NAS North Island Toll'"You forget that adding a toll to the bridge will cause a lot more traffic coming from the south. Military personnel that live between the bridge and the strand will end up choosing the strand over the bridge because of the cost. Palm traffic is…"
Jim Desai commented on John Scheck's blog post 'Coronado Bridge and Corridor to NAS North Island Toll'"Putting aside the financial issues for a moment, I don't think most Coronadans estimate the magnitude of the hassles involved in constructing a tunnel in a coastal region.
No matter what the experts tell you now; there will be guaranteed water…"
John Scheck commented on John Scheck's blog post 'Coronado Bridge and Corridor to NAS North Island Toll'"The Mayor is correct in the fact that it was not a court order that stopped the toll on the Coronado Bridge. SANDAG removed the tolls in 2002 but threats of lawsuits were known and in my opinion SANDAG didn't want to go there.

Jim Desai commented on John Scheck's blog post 'Coronado Bridge and Corridor to NAS North Island Toll'"Cure v/s Bandaid
We have already spent $12 Million on the tunnel idea. Before we spend any more money, we need to ask ourselves whether this is a solution or a temporary postponement of the issue.
How many lanes will be needed in this tunnel. What…"
Mayor Casey Tanaka commented on John Scheck's blog post 'Coronado Bridge and Corridor to NAS North Island Toll'"SANDAG removed the tolls in 2002, not the courts. The authority to add a toll (up to a $1.50) still remains with SANDAG while the ultimate authority over the bridge rests with the State and its legislature.
Obviously, there are people on both sides…"

Jim Desai commented on John Scheck's blog post 'Coronado Bridge and Coridor to NAS North Island Toll'"Would a graduated toll such as this would make sense?
Car with 5 Passengers..............Free
Car with 4 Passengers.............. $0.50
Car with 3 Passengers.............. $1.50
Car with 2 Passengers.............. $2.50
Car with 1 Passenger.…"
kaye commented on John Scheck's blog post 'Coronado Bridge and Coridor to NAS North Island Toll'"The traffic already goes straight from the bridge right down 3rd to the base. How much more direct can you get? And leaving the island is just as easy out 4th. This tunnel is a waste of money & would adversely impact tourism."
