TUESDAY: Narrows Bridge Citizen Advisory Committee To Discuss Toll Rate Changes

The committee is reportedly considering an increase of 50 cents over the next two years.

  • WHAT: Tacoma Narrows Bridge Citizen Advisory Committee
  • WHEN: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 5.
  • WHERE: Gig Harbor Civic Center, 3510 Grandview St.
  • WHAT ELSE: The committee will discuss toll increases

Would you be happy paying 50 cents more to cross Narrows Bridge?

Well, that's what the committee tasked with helping recommend toll rates to the state is reportedly considering.

The News Tribune's Christian Hill is reporting that it's unclear whether an increase, if approved, would take place all at once or be spread over two years, but the goal is to generate enough money to pay the bridge's debt payments.

So we ask you, Gig Harbor Patch users, how would a 50-cent-per-trip increase affect your commute? Should the state increase the toll all at once or spread it out over two years? Tell us in the comments below.
