My wife and I are retired so a toll would not affect a commute to work for us. However, we travel several evenings each week from Vancouver into Portland to go to restaurants and music. We have read that many Portlanders are now traveling in the reverse direction to enjoy all the new Vancouver Waterfront bars and restaurants. If round trip will cost an additional $3 to $7 or more each time, many may think twice about crossing the bridge to go to these venues. Rather than just staying local to avoid the tolls, I think many, including us, would just go out less often which is likely to have a negative financial impact on these businesses.
