If toll caps return, what should the city protect first — commute predictability, transit funding, or freight throughput? Curious how regular bridge users would trade those off.

Predictability. I plan daycare drop-off around that bridge, and sudden spikes wreck the whole morning.

Worth asking whether a hard cap just shifts congestion pricing pressure onto side routes. Has the council published the diversion model?

They haven't. Last hearing only had revenue charts. Diversion is the real missing piece.
