Why take tax money to directly benefit a few? Sure, it isn't much but that is how these things start. Just a nickle here, a dime there. Next thing you know the city will be installing them everywhere and footing the bill. If they are installed, attach a timer similar to a parking meter to allow the juice to flow. This isn't any different than the vehicle tax that was proposed not long ago that was to fund WAVE going to the beach.

Let those that use it, pay for it.
