| Don't agree. Aside from the technical challenges of implementing this which are probably insuperable, it would tend to discourage more sustainable forms of travel. Once you've gone down that root, why levy a toll on all crossings including pedestrians? The original toll idea was for cars and commercial vehicles and I'm not quite sure why this seems to have been completely abandoned particularly as we have now learned that the cost of fully reopening as opposed to restoring the bridge is relatively small. |
