REPLYG of LION to Chronickle:Congestion? Congestion? The CARS are the problem. Get rid of the cars and there will be no congestion. I realize that Queens is different than Manhattan, but congestion pricing in Manhattan makes perfect sense. So do exclusive bus lanes. Medallion Cabs and delivery trucks should be exempt from congestion pricing. Others should be charged about $1.00 for every ten blocks they travel. Sensors would obviously be on the Avenues only, no point of them on the streets, especially since streets ought to be for trucks only. As far as exclusive bus lanes, The parking lanes should be removed from the Avenues and repalced with exclusive bus lanes. The large bendy-buses should be used, and they should be all fare-free. (Let us just assume that they will pay their fare when they transfer to the subway. People moving around the CBD should not be bothered with fares, least not if you want to keep things moving which is the whole idea. Bike Lanes should be eliminated. Bicycles are vehicles like any other and have the right to operate in the roadway along with other traffic. As for the mayor being able to raise taxes... (BIG JOKE) ...That will be a one-way short cut to Venezuela.. ROAR |
