More sales for businesses, more sales tax revenue for the public, easier parking, and cleaner air. What's not to like?

After San Francisco adopted performance-based parking prices, retail sales rose dramatically in the areas with demand-based prices. Retail sales in the control areas, where the old fixed-rate meter rates were left unchanged, lagged behind.

It’s a trick question.

welcome to New Jersey, this wasn't even the only nakedly corrupt pardon doled out the same day

"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

I can finally shut the hell up about this

Mamdani is considering ending free street parking in NYC. This would be another huge boost to NYC residents' quality of life, reducing traffic in ways that would be comparable to congestion pricing. And it would be another step in ending suburban free-riding on NYC.

I agree with this issue. Transit should have kid and senior discounts. More importantly though, it's still probably too cheap to drive into nyc, given the damage of cars to the city infra, congestion, and air quality.

Yeah, parking should be priced according to market value. Commuters can drive to a different park n ride station where it might be cheaper. Property in JC is clearly expensive, if parking for residents is costing 400-500 monthly. No reason commuters should be paying less.

Why not do what's best for NJ transit and just raise the parking rates to market value? $$$ for trains, convinces commuters to take transit instead of driving, forces residents to consider the real costs of car ownership. Win-win-win!

Towns along the Route 1 corridor in Middlesex County, NJ have achieved a 20% reduction in traffic fatalities. How? By sending the police out to write tickets for dangerous driving... www.tapinto.net/towns/new-br...

OOOOH 2.1!

$60B is the whole state budget and $20B is highways and bridges?

Does that mean 1/3 of the budget going to highway and bridge repairs?

I just came to this post to share data from that site! To put these deaths into perspective, here's a comparison to homicide rates.

I know... It's boring, but so far this year; 80 dead on New Jersey roads including 27 pedestrians and 1 cyclist, every single one killed, either in or by being hit by a car

eBikes are not the problem

Still no response from Gopal/Donlon/Peterpaul

ICYMI, our press release on last week's Turnpike Trap victory and full cancellation of any widening. We are proud of the diverse coalition that stood together in NJ for clean air, safer streets, and investments in mass transit. Check out the quotes from our many allied groups.

Join us at City Hall on Wednesday, March 11 at 6 p.m. to speak up for safer streets! The City Council will vote on an ordinance to turn Franklin Street into a one-way, making room for the first protected bike lane in the Heights. We can't let this opportunity pass! All hands on deck! See ya there.

This week, we gathered to envision a Brooklyn with Low Traffic Neighborhoods with the Brooklyn Borough President’s office.

The room was full of people who care about calmer, quieter, more livable neighborhoods. 🧡

More to come from me about this victory - but for now, I'll just remark that for the last 6 years, so many people in power told us we couldn't win this. SO MANY PEOPLE. I'm really proud of every single person who stood up and joined this fight in whatever capacity they could.

Sherrill has fully scaled down the project:
• $4B in savings. Total project cost from $10.7B -> $6.7B
• One bridge, not two
• Priority for a repair-first approach for the rest of the extension; no new lanes

NJ Gov. Sherrill wins praise for killing plan to expand highway headed to Holland Tunnel Critics said the plan backed by former Gov. Phil Murphy would worsen traffic and exacerbate pollution.

This is beyond problematic.

The biggest drawback of driverless cars Driverless cars could save thousands of lives. They might also break our cities.

"AVs almost by definition lower the friction and costs associated with driving ... And we already know, from the last century-plus of experience in the US, what happens when we make driving easier: We will get more of it. And more concrete and asphalt infrastructure to accommodate it."

I’m thrilled @mikiesherrill.bsky.social has chosen a one-bridge plan that won’t add lanes of traffic at any point along the I-78 turnpike extension. This follows years of feedback from experts and advocates, and is a huge win for climate, air quality, traffic congestion and public health!

Adding Up What Urban Highways Really Cost A new report maps the economic toll that downtown freeways exact on 142 US cities — and tallies up what that land could be worth if it was developed for other uses.

"The places with the greatest development potential from removing highways within a three-mile radius of downtown tend to be places with the highest land values."

DC has an estimated $23 billion in untapped development potential in its urban freeways.
