The three words you stripped out before that part of the quote address this: “access to the street”. With those, you are just echoing the poster's point that we use taxes to pay for common goods.
I feel that is addressed two sentences further into the post (unless it was a later edit), and as such contributes to the main point - who pays for it when and how much.
No it's not. Taxes pay for this. Business taxes, property taxes, local taxes, gas tax, etc. It is decisively not free for pedestrians or commuters.
