Transportation officials are close to voting on a proposal to charge a toll for cars stopping at Treasure Island but some who live and do business there say such a plan would cause profound harm to their community.
Anyone who has driven past Treasure Island recently has seen the big changes taking place in the past few years. On Sunday, Hope Williams, a 13-year resident of the island, watched as another building was demolished. She said she’s not against all the new construction.
“For a neighborhood that relies on everything in the city — everything — why would you isolate them? It makes no sense,” Williams said. “If we bring in materials in my production facility here, they’re going to have to charge that extra to us,” he said. “Some of them are already saying they don’t want to come over here if there is a toll because it’s an added cost for them.”
