Celebrating Bastille Day a few weeks too early?

Str8 Up With A Twist’s First Marie Antoinette Award goes to Commissioner Steve Radack.

Radack on Tuesday said of drivers unhappy about peak-hour pricing, "Let them go down Richmond Road. Or they can use Westpark," a secondary road near the tollway. (In other words, let them eat cake!) His office received a slew of phone calls and e-mail from residents critical of his comment, he said.

Toll transactions along the main part of the tollway now cost $1. That fee will rise to $1.25 per transaction during nonpeak hours. And the rate during peak hours will be $2.50 per transaction.
As of 1100A on Thursday, it seems that commissioners have had second thoughts about the toll increase.
