My point was that motorists would think more kindly toward bicycle infrastructure if there was a license which not only covered office expenses of the license office as stated in current law--but a license which in some part paid for the infrastructure off limits to motorists. --------------- And many bicyclists would think more kindly towards infrastructure for motor vehicles if motorists' licenses and user fees actually paid for all of it, rather than merely 56% of it. Also, the majority of state trails require a trail pass which DOES provide revenue for the maintenance of that infrastructure. Madison is exceptional in that regard. From: http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/fees/trailpass.html "Money from the sale of state trail passes is deposited into the parks segregated account of the state Conservation Fund. Along with state tax dollars, the trail fee revenues are used for maintaining and operating state trails, parks and recreation areas." Gee, that sounds a lot like the way roads are paid for - user fees fund part, and property taxes fund the rest. Now I have to go do something besides feeding trolls. <sign off>
