It's worth recalling that the majority of bridges in the region were once tolled:
Lions Gate Bridge (tolled from opening in 1939 until 1963)
Iron Workers Memorial Bridge (tolled from opening in 1960 until 1963)

Oak Street Bridge (tolled from opening in 1957 until 1959)
Queensborough Bridge (tolled from opening in 1960 until 1966)
George Massey Tunnel (tolled from opening in 1959 until 1964)
Pattullo Bridge (tolled from opening in 1937 to 1952)

With that said, these were not demand management tolls, but rather cost-recovery tolls and they consistently failed to recover sufficient revenue to service their debt. In a populist move, the Socreds removed the tolls on all Provincial bridges and the for the Queensborough Bridge the City of New Westminster removed the tolls once they took ownership of the bridge. Incidentally, demand management and cost recovery are two very different goals.
