I can only dream what life would be like if the following could have happened:

  1. A portion of US Steel's 'penalty' from their agreement with the feds went towards a Bixi program.

  2. Then the councillors in the the downtown area (Wards 1, 2 & 3) put a good portion of their area rating slush fund to the Bixi program.

  3. Finally BIA's, MAC University/Studend Union paid a reasonable annual stipend to have a station in their area.

  4. Some advertising from some corporate sector. In Toronto it's Desjardin & Telus, so maybe here FirstOntario & Bell.

  5. Partnership with New Hope Bike Coop, or similar organization for maintenance and repair.

Am I dreaming or would that be funding and at least some operational work then done for 100 bikes?
