Well the entire basis of my argument is these roads should serve Calgarians and non-satellite city commuters first and foremost during rush hour. So regardless of how we ended up with an inferior road system, we have one. The first step, IMO, is to limit the number of satellite city commuters from the parasite communities through the toll. Some will alter their work schedules to avoid the toll, some will carpool to limit the impact of the toll, and some will pay the toll. The first two of these outcomes work towards solving the problem we have right now (congestion) and the third compensates Calgarians for the people that choose to commute from out of town.
