AS - Sunday, April 3, 1983 - North Shore News “There is no clear definition as to how funding will be raised for transit ... Mr. Vander Zalm indicated that while there would be no residential property tax levy in 1983 ... there may well be in 1984.” . She also worried that the appointed transit com- mission could have “direct access to the municipal tax levy.” Other qualms raised by Baker concerned future costs of the automated light rapid transit and the role municipalities will be forced to play in the ultimate financing of the people- mover. . “There is no clear in- dication as to how ALRT will be financed when it comes on stream.” She also charged that the provincial government has no clear operating policy for transit and they are “being made up as they go along.” Baker urged council to support her recom- mendations which oppose provincial officials dipping EATON'S EATON’S HOME IMPROVEMENT SERVICES er fears transit may bleed taxpayer into’ residential property taxes for financing transit.
