Orange County residents now have the opportunity to give feedback on proposed changes to local toll roads and other transportation needs, including potentially adding new toll lanes on the 5 Freeway, as other major changes come to the local transportation system.
The Transportation Corridor Agencies and Caltrans released the proposal (pdf) on Nov. 8 regarding a number of local traffic relief effort options. The Orange County Transportation Authority has already voiced concerns about converting carpool lanes on the 5 Freeway to toll lanes after spending millions of sales tax revenue on 5 Freeway carpool lanes, causing residents to pay twice for the upgrades, according to the OC Register.
