Dammit. I forgot to quote my very favourite part of the "Time is Money" article I linked earlier today.

Heath has a more radical, and unpopular solution to cure traffic congestion. He advocates placing tolls on highways such as the Don Valley Parkway. "Roads are congested because they are free. If we gave away cheese for free, too many people would eat cheese."

I was going to write a post about the four upcoming (this weekend and next week) public consultation meetings regarding the 2006 City of Toronto operating budget. Since biketoronto.ca has already done a good job of why these meetings are important, I'll suggest you go there. BikeRefugee also writes about it with a very funny American Idol analogy.
