I agree with this . I think the tolls are valid . The money has to come for somewhere and raising property tax on people who probably use it less then the people who don ' t pay property tax to the city doesn ' t seem fair . Something like this could also be the mechanism needed to get commuters and their companies to take a hard look at traditional work schedules and incentives for telecommuters . In addition to what you ' ve stated , I would also say that weekends should be free . An alternative would be to make everyone buy a transponder , but if you live in the city limits the tolls don ' t apply to you while using the transponder . That gives the city toll revenue from the 905 and is a fair compromise from those of us who live here .
