Justin Davidson stated that NYC was close to reinventing itself, but Governor Hochul's pause on the congestion charge is a 'screeching U-turn into the distant past'.
The proposed $15 toll aimed to make NYC streets safer, less polluted, and raise $1 billion annually, following successful examples from cities like London, Paris, and Stockholm.
Hochul suspended the congestion charge due to opposition, despite its potential to reduce traffic, improve air quality, and enhance pedestrian experience, leading to unintended consequences for NYC's recovery post-Covid.
