Under the reserve, or the wetland, or wherever it was that the city was thinking about so we don't get continually stalled in negotiations with the

I'll admit I haven't looked at the economics, but there has to a be reason countries like Australia have toll roads all over the place. The municipalities bid the construction out to a company that builds the toll road, then collects the fees for (x) years after it's finished. At that point the government takes over their operation. It's been a while since I checked, but I think it's something like $5 each way per car.
