PART 4 (final)

3) all highways and streets are already tolled.  Through gas tax.  License plate tax.  All sorts of tax.  I am speechless that Mr. Gee says the $2 toll on the DVP would be cheaper than a subway ride – Mr. Gee, is this the very first article that you have ever written?  Surely you must know that being on the DVP without this toll already costs $5-7 in gas and wear and tear.  Surely you can’t see the world that plainly.  

The car is here to stay, and I don’t know why a war is declared against it rather than trying to work with it.  This is not a black-and-white situation.  There are serveral solutions, many of which do not cost a lot of money (i.e. let traffic flow through side streets rather than forcing them onto main streets between 7-9 and 4-6) but they need understanding, selflessness (including no finger-pointing or name calling!), creativity and especially collaboration.
