There are costs involved in maintaining the bridge. Why on earth should we be opposed to a measure that forces those who actually use it to pay the costs of maintaining it, whether the user be motorist, bicyclist or pedestrian? While I am generally opposed to taxation, I don’t have any such problem with user fees.

Just who do you think should bear the cost of maintaining the bridge???

Assemblyman Phil Ting can be all over the map politically, and it’s probably not a coincidence that he’s championing this issue right before the election, but the petition on his site opposing what he says is the Golden Gate Bridge Directors’ plan to impose a toll on bicyclists and pedestrians deserves support:
