But what about the benefits residents get from those roads ? i . e . all the goods and services that come into the city on them . I ' m fine with the tolls , but people who live in Toronto already pay for the highways with their taxes separately from the provincially funded highways everywhere else . Charge those who don ' t live and pay taxes in our city to use the highways , but leave Torontonians alone . OR . have the province pick up the costs of maintenance like they do for all other highways in all other cities . Both of these highways turn into 400 series highways as soon as they are outside city limits . It ' s unfair that Toronto pays for these roads entirely when they benefit people outside the city the most .
