I'm in full support of the toll roads. Not only because I think toll roads make sense but sometimes I just like seeing people get outrageously worked up over relatively minor things. I'm a bad person.
New York, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, etc. etc. etc. have toll roads. There is nothing absurd about Calgary thinking about adding tolls to their roads like MOST MAJOR CITIES IN NORTH AMERICA.
Transit is publicly funded infrastructure with additional user fees - why do people still believe that roads should have no user fees? Almost all of the other infrastructure you use daily has a user fee to help cover costs. It only make sense roads do to.
Schools, parks, water, garbage, etc. are all funded by tax payers with additional user fees. Why are roads so important to society that they are above user fees?
