Village Sun-Congestion Pricing Hits Roadblock Lincoln Anderson

An award winning caliber piece of community journalism with national implications about congestion pricing. Congestion Pricing has been an intermediate goal of the visionaries behind Transportation Alternatives. First create congestion with Vision Zero-bike lanes etc. Promote congestion tax. Lay the land for PlacemakingX. A grandiose and recklessly irresponsible sequence promoted by Charles "The Sophist" Komanoff.

WIRED- Living in a City Without Cars

This piece takes a reasoned look into the process of reducing car traffic in urban areas. I would point out that with the increase in the use of electric cars the argument about pollution is less effective. Further in New York City the visionaires have zealously fought enforcement of the vehicular laws in contrast to successful cycling cultures in Europe. Further there was no environmental impact study conducted which might have front run the many deaths, accidents and near accidents which has budgeoned public safety and Big Apple quality of life.********https://www.wired.com/story/car-free-cities-opposition/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us

John Dias CBS City to upgrade enforcement and education of Cycling/micro transport

Too little too late. The Adams administration claims it is increasing education by the DOT to improve the cycling/micro transport culture. The NYPD is said to be given the go ahead for enforcement. We'll see. What took so long? 24 years is enough to wreak havoc on public safety. No envoronmental impact study. No helmets(97% of cyclist fatalities due to NO HELMET) No enforcement. No coordinated effort to establish a responsible cycling culture. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT? A bastardization of the European bike programs. To promote a congestion tax and push Placemeking X-The privatization of public space.************ https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/in-response-to-numerous-fatalities-new-york-city-launches-e-bike-safety-education-campaign/

ABC TV-The View Whoopi Goldberg Grill Gov Hochul on Congestion Pricing

Whoppi Goldberg spoke for most New Yorkers when she vehemently addressed Gov Hochul about the bike lanes creating congestion re congestion tax. Many of her friends left the city because they could no longer afford it. Those of you who read CARR know-then Mayor Bloomberg said he wanted NYC to be a "luxury destination." Behind the scheme of first create congestion then tax congestion-The zealots of Vision Zero-have PlaceMaking X in the weeds. Fred Kent was co-founder of Trans Alt along with the sophist in chief Charles Komanoff-This amounts to the privatization of public space. The whole irrational game has been fraught with lunacy-No environmental impact study. No enforcement to create a responsible bike culture. It has been a Trumplike exercise in arrogance and hubris. The quality of life has been bludgeoned. No ifs ands of buts.It has been a hypocritical exercise in a reckless disregard for public safety. Abject negligence for which Transportation Alternatives and the public officials who they arm twisted are responsible.********** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avX8xma1Ljk
