We had tags then you had to pay for. Now our mayor has dedicated bike lanes I think good we have 2 bicycles. $100.00 to register is fine $25.00 per tags ok plus insurance as we want the same rights and road shahe as autos.

As a frequent critic of Cascade’s poor communications and outreach, I was thrilled at Max’s effectiveness at educating us about why this levy is an important piece in the future of making streets safer for all. Proposition 1 will give Seattle faster, more reliable transit service; repaired and repaved roads that work better for everyone; and new sidewalks, better crosswalks, and more family-friendly bike infrastructure. It’s not a panacea, but is a step forward in these times when cutbacks guarantee a decline in services, infrastructure, and much-needed maintenance. You can read more about it here.

You can't pull the wool over motorists' eyes. You want motorists to pay 100% of the bill and bicyclists nothing, while only 18% of the proceeds would go to fix streets. Good luck. You'll need it.
