Voters will be asked to approve a Baldwin County toll authority on the November ballot. It would give the legislature the power to establish a toll authority to oversee the construction and operation of future toll roads, including the Baldwin Beach Express North.

Commissioner Chris Elliott says the North Baldwin Beach Express is essentially “shovel ready” and could be built fairly quickly. The road has been mapped and environmental permits have already been approved for the 22 mile extension.

We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p
