Welcome to No Illiana Toll Road?

Welcome to No Illiana Toll Road?

There has been so much debate and controversy surrounding the plan to build the Illiana Toll Road or Expressway that it warrants public debate and discussion.

I don't have an opinion on whether the Illiana Toll Road should be built. I need some convincing either way. Share your opinions on this issue that promises to change Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties for the better or for the worst during the next 100+ years.

Supporters say the Illiana Toll Road project will create jobs for generations to come, initially as union workers build the highway, then as housing and businesses build up along the route. Proponents say cross-country trucks will use the route to avoid the heavily congested Borman Expressway, as well as Indiana residents working in Illinois.

Opponents to the Illiana Toll Road raise concerns that the new private-public tollway threatens their rural way of life, could harm the environment, cause further harm to North Lake County as businesses and people are drawn further south to the new developments.

There are probably many more issues for and against.

Share them with the world!
