Commission Approves Congestion-Pricing

So, after much deliberation and a commendable public input process, the Mayor's Congestion Mitigation Commission has approved its recommendation.

For more details on how the voting went and a break-down of the press coverage of the plan, visit www.streetsblog.org.

From here, the City Council must approve the plan when it goes before them on March 28. The City Council must vote to approve the "Implementation Plan," send a home rule message to the state legislature. A home rule message is a request from a city or town council to the state legislature asking them to vote on legislation affecting only that town or city.
What do you think of the plan? Will it get approved by the council? But more importantly, will it actually cut congestion in Manhattan?
