The province doesn’t permit them to institute congestion charges.

Yeah, the good news is that the City is offloading the highway costs to the province as part of a deal so at least Torontonian's aren't going to be the main bearer of financial burdens of these crumbling highways.

The downside is that toll roads on the DVP & Gardiner are out of the question.

I don't know if that rules out charges on crowded downtown streets though (similar to how New York is about to implement it, where the highways around the edge of the island are excluded)
