Attachment to Mr. Cairn's Message Regarding<br />
Termination for Convenience of the P3 Contract for the Midtown Tunnel/Downtown Tunnel/MLK Extension Project<br />
John Turpel Newport News VA 23608 United States<br />
Im sure its been mentioned how long past due the old toll booth on 264 was left up. where did all that money go?<br />
the freeway couldve been paved in GOLD! Also that hump where the old toll booth was is STILL THERE. That was<br />
supposed to be removed for safety. WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO? Find all that money and give me a new tunnel. All<br />
these car taxes inspection fees city stickers over inflated home assessments to get more taxes etc., I dont see any of<br />
it outside. I see huge sprawling ghettos and dead bodies laying around all over the place. Nowhere else in the<br />
country are they taxed so much yet have a horrible mess of roads like this. I have to drive through the HRBT in fear of<br />
it collapsing and what are all those lights doing in there? what did that cost? tiles are missing pipes are breaking<br />
lights are burnt out. Whos in charge? its a disgrace! Unsafe as can be. Obviously not a penny of the money that<br />
3/14/2012 should have gone to roads did.<br />

I'm signing because I'm from the Norfolk area and adding extra just to get home is not right it is bad enough about<br />
3/14/2012 the gas don't make it hard for me to get home for visits<br />
Derrick Nottingham Portsmouth VA 23703 United States 3/14/2012 This will create an undue burden on many citizens who are already struggling to make ends meet.<br />
Janet Carro Suffolk VA 23435 United States<br />
I travel through the tunnel twice every day and I think $20. a week for tolls is rediculous. If the $.25 toll had been left<br />
3/14/2012 on the tunnels there would be no need for any of this.<br />
Kimberly Wright Corapeake NC 27926 United States<br />
My husband drive through there every day twice a day and it would hurt us very badly finacially the cost of gas being<br />
3/14/2012 what it is and we could not survive another hit...daily its too much.<br />
Diane Burnett Carrollton VA 23314 United States 3/14/2012 Oppose tolls in <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Roads</strong><br />
Francis Bondoc Chesapeake VA 23321 United States<br />
I'm a local Business Consultant for Government Contracting. This would impact my business everyday of the week.<br />
3/14/2012 My Daughter lives in VA Beach. This would put a strain on keeping up family relations.<br />
Charles Joyner Poquoson VA 23662 United States 3/14/2012 More taxex & tolls will only stifle a struggling economy.<br />
Arthur R. Locke III Smithfield VA 23430 United States<br />
The use of bridges and tunnels are largely unavoidable for people living in this area. The implementation of tolls is<br />
predatory, unfair, and usary, and will impose an impediment on people in pursuit of living their daily lives.<br />
3/14/2012 Commerce throughout the <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Roads</strong> area will be hampered as well.<br />
Diane Boyd Norfolk VA 23508 United States 3/14/2012 I am disabled but I work in Portsmouth. This would be a financial inconvenience<br />
Katie Parker Portsmouth VA 23707 United States 3/15/2012 Family live there and i dont want to have to pay tolls when i come for visits.<br />
Jose[h Carro Suffolk VA 23435 United States<br />
against the tolls, maybe the lottery money should pay the bill, after all, it was supposed to pay for the roadways and<br />
3/15/2012 schools. It doesn't seem to be doing that!<br />
Frank Anderson Virginia Beach VA 23454 United States 3/15/2012 It will add an expenditure of $1,200 a year just to get to work.<br />
Pamela Hendrix Virginia Beach VA 23455 United States<br />
I am signing on because I am a teacher in Portsmouth and live in Va Beach, which means that I will be paying a<br />
minium of $60 every month just to get to work and back. In addition, traffic at the tunnels is already horrific at times<br />
and pung in toll booths is going to slow traffic down even more.<br />
I am concerned about the relationship our Govenor has with the company that will be doing the work on the tunnel.<br />
3/15/2012 Sounds real shady.<br />
Carollyn Boykins‐Winrow Chesapeake VA 23322 United States<br />
The tolls are a burden on local individuals and families. In addition, the money generated will not benefit the<br />
3/15/2012 hampton roads community.<br />
Charles Goldsmith Suffolk VA 23434 United States<br />
I believe the gas tax should be raised so that everyone that drives should pay their fair share. I seldom use the tunnel<br />
since I am retired. The roads around DC and northern virginia don't have tolls so why sould the Tidewater area? It's<br />
3/15/2012 called politics<br />
Bettye Wright Portsmouth VA 23702 United States<br />
Maybe think of cutting the paychecks of state and local officials and get the money that way. It's hard enough to<br />
3/15/2012 make ends meet without worrying about tolls.<br />
chariety brown Suffolk, VA 23434 United States<br />
I use the Midtown tunnel twice per day 5 days a week and sometimes on the weekend because i work on that side of<br />
3/15/2012 town.Not having a raise in 4 years and now this out of pocket expense only adds to more financial problems.<br />
antoinette strang norfolk VA 23517 United States 3/15/2012 cost to drive and decision process was not done correctly<br />
richard sudol wharton NJ 7885 United States 3/15/2012 will cost the students at schools in the area ,money they probably cannot afford<br />
Khohli Rawlings Suffolk VA 23434 United States<br />
We do not need to slow our traffic pattern. I have no problem paying an additional tax but using tolls are not the way<br />
3/15/2012 to go and it should be shared by all car driver, not just those who traverse under water.<br />
