3 MAY 2024 PROPOSAL CONVERT 125 TO PERMANENT MANAGED LANES TOLL ROAD SANDAG planning to change toll road to PERMANENT Managed Lanes Toll Road USING OUR TAX TO DOUBLE TAX COMMUTERS. "Convert all existing lanes to managed lanes: Converting the toll road to a fully managed facility is believed to be a lower cost to implement and with less environmental impacts.
It also would be consistent with SANDAG Resolution No. 2023- 11. A fully managed facility could be operated in a variety of ways to address specific goals related to traffic and equity." https://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=https://legistarweb-

COMMUTERS TAKE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS TO AVOID MANAGED LANE TOLLS "Somebody's going to get killed," said resident Judy Tieber. Drivers trying to avoid paying tolls on state Route 125 are using neighborhood streets to get to and from state Route 54 "With the toll road, 125, traffic on this road has jumped to 7,000-8,000 cars a day. It’s all for one reason, it’s called toll road avoidance." The problem is especially dangerous near Sunnyside Elementary School, where the marquee out front tells drivers to slow down. The committee says that's one of their primary concerns. "In the afternoon or the morning when school's getting out, this whole roadway's full of cars with
4 people crossing the street going to school," said Mike Clowers. "Drivers need to know; this is a neighborhood, not a freeway."

" Let’s Go! San Diego pursued the ballot initiative to pay for a slate of transit and road projects sought by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). One key difference between the current measure and the one from eight years ago – as it is an initiative, it would only require a simple majority to pass, unlike Measure A, which needed a two-thirds vote.."
