It's the same thing as what usually happens though. Beauracrats go overboard on reacting to something.
I can agree that there needs to be a fee, and an increase, but a jump from $25 to $70 is typical politician.
The argument that folks will just buy annual passes is valid, So ... since Annual passes are currently almost triple the day pass cost, they will argue to raise the annual pass commensurately, to something like $200.
Probly more reasonable to raise both, by about $5 per year for the next several years to get to a more sustainable number. But thats asking for a measured reaction, something beauracrats and activist alike have a hard time comprehending.
