Poll: Effect of Proposed Toll Increase on East Boston Restaurants

With sharp toll increases planned for the Boston Harbor tunnels (from $3.50 to $7.00), there is a growing debate as to how these increases might affect East Boston businesses, including the many restaurants located in the neighborhood.

As arguments for and against a toll hike continue, we have decided to set up an informal poll to take a tally about the affect, if any, that the hike would have on East Boston restaurants. Feel free to vote below--results will be posted at the end of December (the official vote on the proposal won't take place until at least January).

What effect will a toll increase (from $3.50 to $7.00) for the Boston Harbor tunnels have on East Boston restaurants?

NOTE: THIS POLL IS NOW CLOSED. SEE BELOW FOR RESULTS:
