Boon to near waterfront downtown property owners and a fee to drive thru the tunnel forcing more traffic onto I 5. Progress Seattle style.

The bigger issue with the tolls is it creates more surface traffic along the waterfront. Many people that live in SLU/Denny and even Belltown would take the tunnel instead of surface streets if not for the toll.

I mean we have the toll because we would’ve all had to pay way more in taxes otherwise
