New York City trafficMaking Congestion Pricing Palatable
It’s easy to see why most of the people opposed to Mayor Bloomberg’s congestion pricing plan live outside Manhattan. Daily News columnist Sam Schwartz, aka Gridlock Sam, tells us how to make the plan palatable in the boroughs and the ‘burbs. Plus: the President and Congress square-off, the Critical Mass riders speak, the safety of food imports, and DJ Spooky remixes the movie, “Birth of a Nation.”
