Didn’t POTUS sign something to invalidate congestion pricing and liberate New Yorkers from this? I haven’t paid close attention not being from NYC, but I remember some self congratulating from POTUS about this. Did it get knocked down?
Edit: Saved, not liberated was the quote from POTUS
It was ignored because he didn't have legal authority to do it. And can't tell if you were being a little sarcastic of not but majority of New Yorkers want congestion pricing and would not feel "liberated".
I'm not the one being sarcastic. I'm pretty sure liberated was a term he used when signing the little piece of paper. This was a separate use from Liberation Day
lol at liberate New Yorkers? This has been a godsend as a car owning New Yorker who takes public transit 10+ times a week as well. Less traffic and all the externalities associated.
I think this is just an issue of text not conveying intent. If you wrapped the word in quotes - "liberated" - people wouldn't be as confused. There wasn't a great indication that wasn't your perspective.
The Federal Highway Administration tried to revoke its approval for the program (some federal roads in the congestion relief zone). Still being litigated last I checked.
