Here we go again with the "charge the tourists walking across the bridge and the crazy cyclists" meme. Won't happen - it makes no sense, I predict this is just a head-feint to get people so angry about the pedestrian charge that the rest of the changes can pass through with less scrutiny.

Tolls for peds and cyclists is really DUMB. I thought we are trying to discourage excessive auto use ... The GG Bridge district should instead PAY cyclist to commute over the bridge!!!!! Times of changed!
