Howdy Yessers- I want to throw an idea out here and would love to have you all punch as many holes in it as possible.

I went for a bike ride on Belle Isle yesterday. The place was packed. Sadly, it was also trashed. Bottles, broken Styrofoam coolers, dirty diapers pitched into the streets-just a whirling symphony of garbage.

Now the clean up begins, let's hope- And all taxpayers are on the hook for the clean up.

What would be wrong with charging $5 per vehicle to enter the island? -those funds going to pay for clean up service. [[Pedestrians, bicycles and handicapped vehicles free, DYC members receive a badge)

Would charging an entry fee imply some degree of safety and or security?
