I had to read this a few times. I really have no idea what the author is talking about. I do not think he does either. Maybe he could elaborate on the tenfold increase in vehicle traffic. What revenues is he talking about? Is this going to be a toll road? 75% reduction in state subsidy. What does that mean. I am not a banker but do ok with my own finances.  You  still have  a ferry to subsidize. Now you are adding a road to maintain. Also adding another ferry terminal to build maintain and operate. How can this be cheaper than the existing ferry? Are ten times more Juneau people going to drive and ride to the fair? Must be unless the state is planning on building some other large ferries to bring people up from Washington.
