I can't believe this crap. So supposedly this is supposed to reduce pollution and help the people of the city... I'm sorry but if I'm going to be charged for driving below 60th street.. I'm just going to drive to 61st and then park my car. Great job politicians.. gridlock uptown instead of midtown.. How nice for those who can afford to live in midtown... but sucks for everyone else.. How about actually figuring out a way to increase the throughput of city streets? Maybe actually devise a better algorithm for the traffic lights or construct a couple of overpasses / underpasses (which seems to have worked well along park ave as well as 1st ave (near 42nd). Wait nevermind.. those options don't include having the already heavily taxed members of the city forking over even more money.
Perhaps the slogan should should be: "Congestion Pricing - Yet another way to take your money"
