Agree with Mike. Example: Fitchburg is going to reconstruct a mile or so
of Lacy Road and this will involve an assessment on property owners who
use this street to access their homes. At the same time, a better Lacy
Road will benefit both motorists and cyclists generally.

Motorists at most pay only 20% of local road costs, so why this picking on
bikes? As a
property tax payer I am aready subsidising streets.

Right now, all we can agree on is that we as individuals should not have to pay
for anything.

establishing a wheel tax and would favor it, based on that discussion and
Larry's info. A
$20 tax in Dane County would bring in between $4 million and $5 million --
not nearly
what the RTA was looking at and small potatoes compared to big projects
like Verona
Road or Highway M, but definitely a part of the puzzle in growing the
multimodal system
in the county.
