The Village Sun**OP ED by Kathryn Freed vs. Congestion Pricing

Former City Councilmember and Judge Kathryn Freed makes a strong case against Congestion Pricing especially concerning the effects on the Lower East Side. NYC has the worst congestion in the nation. Blame for this clearly lies with the blind Vision Zero. No environmental impact study. Fueled by hubris and zealotry. Speciously based on health considerations that has given way to the private use of public space. Initially proposed by the sophist in Chief Charles Komanoff Vision Z imports cycling programs from Europe from cities with very different street widths and population densities. PLUS Transportation Alternatives is said to have prevailed on city adminsitrations to withhold enforcement by the NYPD. Enforcement being the backbone of accountability. Accountability being the essence of a law abiding responsible cycling culture. Screw public safety say the zealots. Screw quality of life. Irrational policy. Woeful neglect on the part of city administrators.*** https://thevillagesun.com/opinion-congestion-pricing-would-fuel-pollution-on-les
