MAY
16, 2007 --
Mayor Bloomberg
shouldn't squeeze Manhattan-bound drivers more, financially.
That's what LPR heard the WABC morning co-host (with Curtis Sliwa)
and criminal law defense attorney Ron Kuby say, of the mayor's
plan to charge drivers a Manhattan entrance fee.
What's another financial squeeze on motorists -- beset by the mayor's PVB horde,
gas price spikes and all the traffic obstacles the human brain can think up.
An early morning Manhattan obstacle, witnessed by LPR is the sanitation truck
making its rounds -- with apparent license to stop in
the middle of the
roadway.

Weekends, portions of Manhattan's major north-south thoroughfares are taken up
by street fairs, and also by Marches for Good Causes -- a march up Broadway,
May 5, created the traffic tie-up (shown in an accompanying photo) on Columbus
Avenue, at Lincoln
Center.

Sundays, yes, the
parking meters are given the day off. LPR has noticed, though, that
they are being phased out by the parking chad dispensers.
On Amsterdam Avenue, for example, two quarters in the chad dispenser gets the
driver 15 minutes parking time.
With the meters, each quarter brought ten
minutes' parking time. There City Hall goes again -- nickel and dime-ing people
lucky to find a legal spot.
Borrowing an Imusism the squeeze on the middle class "conTINNyews."
