Speaking at an event in Brooklyn yesterday, Mayor de Blasio said his forthcoming congestion plan, which he teased last month on WNYC and again in his “State of the City” speech on Monday, won’t include tolling East River bridges, AM New York reports.
De Blasio said he understands “the intellectual rationale” for congestion pricing, which stalled in the Assembly in 2008, but that he’s “always had concerns.” (He voted against it as a City Council member then later as public advocate said he was “open” to bridge tolls.)
