Below, Jim discusses the possibility that congestion pricing will be introduced in DC.
Well, that’s all fine and dandy. But for a real look at how to squeeze cars out of a city, we need look no further than our own River City. Don at Save Richmond collects some choice examples of how Richmond’s great minds are making it harder for people to park in the Bottom, for new businesses to open there (because they can’t get parking spaces) and, if they manage to overcome those two barriers, let’s not forget the “temporary” meals tax that is dedicated to funding the Lazarus-like Performing Arts Center.
Want to cut congestion? Don’t look to DC, or New York, or anywhere else. The best example is right under our very noses.
