  • I mean, that’s an option too. Bike could pay 1/8th-1/12th the amount cars do based on amount of road used.

    Of course, there’s the whole problem of cars don’t fucking pay for the roads. In Ontario, vehicle registration is a whopping $32. Since the average car lifespan in Canada is around 11 years, Ontario vehicles pay less than $3 per year (less however much of the registration fee is administration and overhead)

    Since bikes take up abouth 1/10th the road, they would pay $3 for registration.











  • In Kingston, I’ve heard to janitorial staff needing to clear needles and remove tresspassers off the grounds at the boys & girls club, and a school that are the closest to the SCSs. I don’t know how the volume of cleaning compares to schools farther away from the SCS. My data is also hearsy, but comes from someone who works with the community.

    I’ll also say Kingston concentrates support services geographically, which leads to concentrations of people using these services geographically. This is something I didn’t see in other cities where services are more spread out around.
