How about some financial constraints, such as the cost of a ticket should be at least 20% of the actual cost to transport the rider. The other 80% can be considered public benefit to be paid for by taxpayers.

There’s got to be a way to ease traffic woes between the Y and the visitor center — something other than widening the roads. If we can make it easy, fun and cheaper than driving for people to use alternatives, it will make it a lot easier on everyone. Park-and-ride centers with appealing vehicles to take people to popular destinations like Camp Rich, the beaches, Valhalla, Tallac Historic Site, and Emerald Bay. What’s with the weird cable car things, though? Cable cars belong in San Francisco. We should have electric-powered old fashioned-style buses and/or wagons that look like they belong in a forest. Also the bicyclists that use the highway along there scare me to death. I’m afraid I’m going to kill them if I try to get past them, so I end up creeping behind them and slowing traffic behind me until we hit a wide spot where I can get around easily. I understand the issues with the bike trail that runs parallel to the highway — safety, too many stops, etc. Perhaps some VERY MINIMAL widening is needed in order to safely accommodate bikes along the shoulder. Also, a funky, rustic pedestrian overpass at Camp Rich might become necessary if auto traffic can’t or won’t be reduced.
