Call Mayor Wynn's office and let him know how you feel about the proposed Wm. Cannon toll road.?  The only question I heard the mayor ask at the meeting? dealt with an issue that had been addressed several times in calls to his office. The calls seemed to have gotten his attention. ? I believe? the number for input to Mayor Wynn's office is 974-2250.? 

A great resident letter

Dear Committee Member:

I am writing to express my opposition to the toll road proposal for the Austin area. I attended Monday's meeting and like many other SW Austin and other residents was unaware of the sign in sheet where I could show my opposition to the proposal. Thus, I am writing you now.

In general, I would be in favor of such an initiative to help with current and future traffic problems and financing issues. Ironically, under normal circumstances, I would be the first to support a plan such as this as I would like to see the Austin area grow and prosper. However, this not a normal circumstance.

I DO NOT FAVOR this specific proposal as it includes projects currently under construction and already paid for, specifically, the Mopac-William Cannon overpass in Southwest Austin. In my opinion it is irresponsible to try to include those projects previously financed. I would like to know what was the reasoning or the ''agenda'' for adding the Mopac-William Cannon overpass. Also, the rational that there are future upkeep and maintenance costs to consider is a very weak argument.

Please consider my opposition to this proposal.

Thank You.
