Ward 3's Angela Caputo asked her fellow councillors to consider freezing an increase on transit fees starting in the new year
City council decided on Tuesday that many city user fees will increase in the new year for services like venue rentals and marina fees, among others, while a motion to freeze transit fees at the 2024 level was struck down.
"If we do not make some of these small increases over the years, it will end up in larger pieces down the road," said Lamming. Examples of some other user fees that will increase in the new year: ice rentals for adults will increase from $210 to $215, an adult public swim admission will increase to $5.53 from $5.31 and parking in the downtown area will go from $1.60 an hour to $1.75.
