All the traffic and heavy trucks that travel every day over the Ambassador Bridge, connecting Detroit to Windsor, take their toll on the city roads, according to Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens.
Dilkens said he is now asking his government to implement a tax on trucks to gather revenue for road maintenance. Dilkens announced on Thursday that he’s seeking approval from the provincial government to place a temporary toll using Huron Church Road, which connects the bridge on the Canadian side.
“The taxpayers in my city are bearing the full cost of maintenance for that bridge to get trucks to the Ambassador Bridge when they shouldn’t have to do that,” said Dilkens…
