I grew up in Hamilton which still had a bridge toll when I was a kid. I travel to the US regularly and feel that road tolls are the least I can do as a visitor since I pay no taxes to them to maintain their roads/police services.

Have a booting system like most cities in the USA, if there are people who do not pay for parking tickets have there vehicle booted and towed until the tickets are paid. If they do not pay or collect there vehicle after 30 days auction it off. License Plates for bikes, tire tax on bike tires,
