Davidson will support STIP including I77 HOT lanes.

At Davidson town board meeting tonight, commissioner Brian Jenest spoke about the upcoming CRTPO vote on the STIP saying he spoke for the board.

He clearly said he is not inclined to vote against the STIP to make a statement against the I77 HOT lanes project.

He sighted the potential loss of new roundabouts in @TownOfDavidson from the bonus (aka "bribe") money.  He also misleadingly referenced the potential $100 million penalty implying that amount was solid and that the towns would be stuck paying something that large if the contract was cancelled.

One Facebook poster described the roundabouts at Exit thiAt #Davidson town board meeting tonight, commissioner Brian Jenest spoke about the upcoming CRTPO vote on the STIP saying he spoke for the board.

He clearly said he is not inclined to vote against the STIP to make a statement against the I77 HOT lanes project.

He sighted the potential loss of new roundabouts for Exit 30 in Davidson from the bonus (aka "bribe") money.  He also misleadingly referenced the potential $100 million penalty implying that amount was solid and that the towns would get stuck paying it if the contract was cancelled.

Upon seeing this info posted on Facebook, one reader over at Exit 28 Ridiculousness described the Exit 30 roundabouts that come along with 50 years of tolls as Davidson's "30 pieces of silver".

That sounds about right.
