You’re not tracking; Downtown is a shithole. If you make people pay to come downtown they will work/play elsewhere, then downtown and TO get less revenue and become a deeper shithole.All the more reason to put tolls up. If they come to the city to work and play. They can pay for it.
Cyclists use roads, cyclists can pay for roads.How about charging for car licenses? Ford made the licensing free, forgoing all that revenue, but leaving all the cost to license them in place.
I see it as money to be had and a Service Ontario infrastructure already in place to fulfill the collection. There's a lot more money there than licensing a few thousand bicycles, and you don't have to hire more police officers to start pulling over 10 year olds riding their bike around their subdivisions.
