According to a recent article in the Edmonton Journal, Edmonton home owners may be looking at an increase of approximately $30 a year in taxes to pay for the continued expansion of the LRT. This increase may continue for the next six years and may begin well in advance of the additional LRT lines being ready for riders. Some might say this is an unfair levy on those who don’t use public transit, but it seems to me this is a small price to pay to keep Edmonton a city that is getting “greener” day by day.
