What it’s costing you

Regional property taxes are rising by up to 12.3 per cent by 2018 to install street-level trains and expand buses.

By 2018 it’s estimated an average house will have paid $821. By then annual taxes are estimated at $189 higher on a house valued today at $254,000.

So far an average house has paid $63 to launch trains and add buses.

D - put in context, not so much to pay.

Now imagine how CHEAP a decent network of bike lanes/ trails would be by comparison.

If we discussed disconnected stretches of train tracks without continuous connection along the entire stretch from point A to B, you'd look at me as if I were mad.
But do so with bike transit and it's par for course.
So WHO is crazy?
