Local history: The Great Edmonton Toll Plaza Robbery For the third shift, at 4 A.M., it was more than enough excitement when both sides of the toll plaza were robbed simultaneously. A story from Senior Quest Magazine, Edmonton, KY By Geniece Marcum Senior Quest recently carried an article about the Edmonton Toll Plaza once located on the Cumberland Parkway and it's employees who worked there through the '80s and into the '90s; before the name was changed to Louie B. Nunn Parkway and before the tolls were finally removed. The article seemed to stir up a host of memories for many, as each one looks back at their own unforgettable experiences while on duty there. There are many funny memories along with a few that were tragic and then there are those which could only be described as just plain hair-raising, such as the night of the toll gate robbery in 1980. This happened during a third shift about 4:30 a.m. during the lull before early morning traffic began to run. Only three collectors were on duty as usual with Janet Bell and the late Don Bastin working in the lanes and Wayne Edwards on relief in the Plaza building. Both sides of the parkway were robbed simultaneously and so smoothly and quickly was the job carried out that neither collector had any idea anything was amiss until suddenly each was faced with a masked figure entering their booths. At gunpoint the attendants were ordered to get out and run down the parkway. Janet remembers the incredulous "Now?" which was her first response to such a command. This whole thing was unreal, a toll collectors worst nightmare, but that gun was real enough she knew, and Janet didn't need a second prompting to hit the road.
