Toll Road - A Private Property Right

In Indiana, Goings Road, at Ludwig Road, is going private.

The man who bought Goings Road at Ludwig Road from a tax auction… sent residents a letter claiming the drive is private property… and may be enclosed with a chain link fence.

He says he’s going to charge the residents $50 a month—per vehicle—to use the street.

Which isn’t going over real well with Frank and Carol Cocherham, residents of Goings Road. Carol Cocherham has this to say.

"I’m not lining his pockets with anything but dust,” says resident Carol Cocherham.

And Frank Cocherham chimes in with this to say.

"Well, I’d say one thing, I imagine if he put up a gate down there, it’s going to be tore down by somebody. ‘Cuz them people won’t put up with it,” Frank Cocherham says.

Them’s almost fightin’ words.
