The Globe and Mail reports, “The possibility of tolls on the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway vaulted to the top of the local agenda . . . when [Toronto mayor John Tory] said he would back the idea, touting it specifically as a way to raise money for infrastructure.” The newspaper adds that Tory has called for Toronto to adopt the world’s “most technologically advanced” tolling system, and “[t]here are lots of good examples to look to, although [a city staff] report talks about the sort of transponder-based system Singapore installed nearly three decades ago.”
The City of Toronto website has information about the proposal for expressway tolling (which is part of a larger revenue generation strategy), including links to issue backgrounders and staff reports.
