With congestion pricing gantries set to be activated on June 30 in NYC, one major roadblock remains: seven lawsuits filed in federal court to block it from happening.
Plaintiffs range from New Jersey to Long Island to Lower Manhattan, where Susan Lee, president of the New Yorkers Against Congestion Pricing, is hoping to block the MTA from flicking the on switch next month."We are moving ahead, we have a lot of support from everyday New Yorkers," Lee said.
"So far, everything looks like congestion pricing will be starting June 30," said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, who appeared Monday morning on Good Day New York.Rodriguez said not only does he expect congestion pricing to start next month, but that from bus lanes to bike lanes, the DOT is paving the way with improvements to non-car options."It’s to be sure that we have good busway," Rodriguez said.
