The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has received final federal approval for its congestion pricing plan that would charge tolls to motorists driving below 60th Street in Manhattan.

The Federal Highway Administration confirmed on Monday that, after an analysis of the plan and a review of public comments, it had determined the plan would cause no adverse environmental impact for the region.

The plan, the first of its kind in the country, is intended to reduce congestion in Manhattan would charge cars driving below 60th Street during peak hours. Those without an E-ZPass could face tolls of up to $34.50.

As fer as I'm concerned NYC can go where the sun don't shine, and with the politicians in charge, that's exactly where it's goin'. Been thar in de 70's, and thought it was gross. Well, now all the major cities are gross; and I do my best to avoid 'em. I can't stand 'em, and I don't even wanna do mail order with 'em. Why support something I can't stand in any way?
