Some possible public good / equitable payment examples

I think we get caught up in flo projects and forget about the real world infrastructure all too often.

So, while I love everything in that article (I’ve been a Shoupista for a long time!), most of these examples are more common-pool resources and not public goods strictly.

For a road to be an unambiguous public good, it needs to have minimum per-use costs and no risk of filling up with traffic. Many bicycle paths fit the bill. Each bike has no real wear-and-tear, maintenance is mainly from weather irrespective of amount of us, and bikes are small so only very rare situations lead to actual traffic problems.
