It looks like the Federal Government is getting behind the congestion pricing plan, giving the city $354 million for it. That's not as much as the $500+ million the city wanted but it's still a nice chunk o'change and it should go a long way to make this scheme a reality. Hopefully this will lead to reduced air pollution and asthma rates amongst New Yorkers.
Pla2030 seems to be, slowly but surely, becoming a reality. Mayor Bloomberg must be happy but, more importantly, this is good for the city. Thinking ahead is something so rare amongst today's political leaders.
The secretary of transportation, one Mary Peters, called the congestion pricing plan "as brass and bold as New York City itself." Well, ain't she sweet?
