As the year ends, congestion pricing looks like the horizon - always right there, but never reachable. Governor Hochul's role in dashing hopes reveals the challenges for New Yorkers seeking improved transit and cleaner streets.
The winner of the inaugural "It's So Over/We're So Back" Award goes to gridlock governor, Kathy Hochul, not just for her multiple flip-flops but for how each flop and each flip only served to destroy a transformational policy.
Remember back in January when former New York City Transit President Richard Davey promised he would "personally" clear out illegally parked cars out of the Livingston Street bus lane? The illegal parkers are still there.
Honorable mention? Mayor Adams's announcement that he would - by the end of 2024 - create a "Department of Sustainable Delivery," which he obviously did not do.
