Good ideas almost everyone wants

The New York Times came out in favor of congestion pricing. Local business leaders want it, activist groups want it… but Bloomberg still doesn’t.

Closing the Central Park loop drive to traffic: another great idea. Area residents want it, local politicians want it… but DOT commissioner Iris Weinshall insists it’s impractical.

These are two good ideas whose times have come. Too bad neither one involves building a new sports stadium.
