early voters: keep trinity toll road

Early vote totals show Prop 1 failing.

A proposal to kill the Trinity toll road was losing handily in early voting.

The “no” vote on Dallas Proposition 1 was winning by about a 56-44 margin. “No,” in this election, meant preserving the toll road that is planned inside the Trinity River levees.

There were 21,911 early votes cast in Dallas on the toll road question.

Proposition 1 would forbid construction of any road inside the river levees unless that road were four or fewer lanes, had a speed limit of 35 mph or less, and provided direct access to the riverside park.

We'll keep you updated on the elections as the votes come in tonight.
