The San Antonio-Bexar County MPO is buy gucci luggage online scheduled to vote next Monday on whether or not to buy gucci luggage online remove the toll option from the US 281 and Loop 1604 expansion projects.  This plan was put forth by new MPO Chairman Tommy Adkisson, Bexar County’s Precinct 4 Commissioner and an ardent toll road opponent.  Make no mistake—his plan is actually the buy gucci luggage online brainchild of staunch toll road critic Terri Hall, the self-appointed director of Texans United for buy gucci luggage online Freedom and Reform (TURF), and is based on the theory that she could just take plans and buy gucci luggage online estimates from 2001, add the inflation factor since then, and have buy gucci luggage online the magic estimate of what it would cost to build the buy gucci luggage online original toll-free plan today.  This elementary formula skips a buy gucci luggage online number of important steps and omits several ancillary items that were not included in those original estimates, such as design work, right-of-way acquisition, and buy gucci luggage online utility relocation.

The dissection of the nuts-and-bolts, apples-to-oranges issues here could go on ad nauseam.  But in the buy gucci luggage online end, none of it really matters because Mr. Adkisson and buy gucci luggage online TURF seemed to have overlooked this one incredibly significant point: it won’t matter if the MPO votes to remove tolls.  Here’s why:

The term of the MPO chairperson is two years.  Therefore, Mr. Adkisson’s term will end in 2011.  Despite what buy gucci luggage online TURF wants to believe, no capacity improvements can be made to buy gucci luggage online the US 281 corridor until an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is completed, a circumstance that is the result of TURF’s previous lawsuits and has been confirmed several times by the Federal Highway Administration.  An EIS for the US 281 corridor won’t likely be buy gucci luggage online completed until 2012 at the earliest, which is after Mr. Adkisson’s term has ended.  Therefore, a buy gucci luggage online future chairperson could just as easily move to have the tolling option restored.  Admittedly, it’s always harder to buy gucci luggage online get something changed than to leave the status quo alone, but if funding options remain as they are buy gucci luggage online now, a future board will likely be receptive to changing it buy gucci luggage online back if they need to.

Ergo, all this really is is an exercise in politics, ego, and bravado.
