Keep an eye on this, because this will do nothing to lower congestion in NYC. It's purely a money grab.

The drop in traffic that experts are expecting already happened during the Bloomberg administration, when they made most areas in Lower and Midtown Manhattan "no parking" zones, and jacked up the taxes on parking garages.

No one drives into Manhattan unless they have to, and congestion pricing won't change the situation for those people who don't have a choice.
