ROADBLOCK? Riverside County may go to court to block toll lanes on the 91 Freeway in Orange County. . . . Noting that Riverside County residents pay a local half-cent sales tax for freeway improvements, Riverside’s transportation chief pledged in a letter last week to Caltrans to “exhaust all administrative and legal avenues” to kill the toll plan. “The question is the equity of paying a toll when most of those using Highway 91 are from San Bernardino and Riverside counties, and they have already agreed to pay tax money,” Kay Ceniceros says. “It is double taxation and ought not to be done.”
