Welcome to the discussion, ConFed12. Do you usually take the Queensboro bridge for work? What do you think of supporters arguments that less congestion will lower the costs for businesses because more trips can be faster?
Tolling the Manhattan CBD means less congestion and more funding for transportation improvements. Imagine less pollution, collisions, and road expenditures from wear. Imagine cheaper tolls on the outer crossings.Why would anyone oppose this plan? To save a couple bucks every once and a while, but deal with all the problems mentioned (which will only get worse BTW).
meant to say 'I will oppose' in the previous statement.
