When you’re dealing with Bloomin’ idiot, you can leave the facts at home. It’s his way or the highway...in this case, a toll highway.

Congestion pricing just screws folks coming from the east and the tunnels from NJ. I'd expect an increased use of the Triborough Bridge from folks in northern Queens and the rest of Long Island.

Convert the NYC cabs to hybrids. During all that time they spend sitting in traffic they would not be wasting gas or polluting the air. Solve the congestion problem some other way than having yet another set of tolls. You send people a message that says: "Keep out" and they will. The restaurants & theaters will suffer.

Last time I had to go (way) downtown starting from the GW Bridge I parked up at 96th street and took a subway down. It saved me maybe half an hour going in and over an hour getting out. Why not have subway Park & Rides at the boundaries of the city?

When I drive in NYC it seems a lot of the congestion is where someone, usually a delivery truck, has double parked. So two or three lanes squeeze into one and it backs up all the way into the intersections. If the ordinances against double parking were enforced the congestion would be greatly reduced. Maybe all the business districts would have to become loading areas but it would be worth it.
