Regional News****The Congestion Tax battle between N.J. & NYC Yahoo News

https://news.yahoo.com/inside-furious-debate-over-york-103000978.html Congestion tax is a fabrication of Transportation Alternatives ie "visionairies" putsch to drive the motor vehicle from the island. The bike lanes. Quieting zones. Bike racks & yes the pandemicly opportunistic grub shacks all reduce parking. Also fewer lanes for motor vehicles in the streets. Hence the worst congestion in the nation. Newark to New York City is the worst regional congestion. Transportation Alternatives blared that cycling was the be all and end all for going green. The acute congestion is the result. How's that for going green. Now the visionairies want to impose a congestion tax. Much to debate. But one thing is clear-they have created the problem they want to heroically solve. How's that for irrational hubris? The daily danger on the streets and sidewalks and the unregulated deliveristas with the lithium battery explosions and resulting death and destruction also fall out of the irrational push. There was never an environmental impact study done. There was never an effort to establish a responsible bike culture. Thus is the resulting needless death, danger and destruction gifted to the public in an ongoing exercise in hubris and zealotry.
