AUGUST 2, 2007 --

LPR wonders if this image of Second Avenue traffic gladdens the heart of Mayor Bloomberg, who wants to put an $8 charge on cars entering Manhattan below 96th Street.

BTW -- LPR heard a report on radio, early last week, that the New York/ New Jersey Port Authority is thinking about an express lane for the Lincoln Tunnel
that would carry a $30 surcharge.

It took LPR nearly an hour to cross the George Washington Bridge, about forty minutes past midnight, July 22.

Traffic congestion manipulation, anyone?
