C-470 does indeed get pretty crowded in the evening (and morning) commute, something I've been mercifully immune to, between time-shifting and light rail usage. I'd much rather see a broader regional tax to cover expansion of the freeway, rather than adding toll lanes, but such lanes have definitely been under discussion for quite some time down in this neck of the woods.

I do know that when I got surveyed by phone about this a year or two back, I made it clear I'd much rather see a regional tax district to fund additional lanes, if it was not to be done directly out of the state highway fund. I also noted a preference for HOV lanes, vs toll lanes.
