New York recently took two big steps forward in its fight to make New York City streets safer, more equitable, and better for city life. On March 31, the State Legislature passed a budget that includes funding to establish a congestion pricing zone for motor vehicles driving below 60th Street in Manhattan. Almost two months […]
You and I must stop the financial tsunami of tolling every single road in this region through congestion pricing. Jenny Durkan has declared that she wants to toll Seattle’s streets before the end of her first term in 2021. That lines up perfectly with the 20-year timetable that I told you about in 2001. This […]
A decade ago, the No. 1 villain in the life of The Watchdog was the North Texas Tollway Authority.

The first look at how commercial real estate prices have started off the second quarter shows continued lethargy. The Ten-X Commercial All-Property Nowcast declined 0.1 percent in April from the previous month, leaving the index of CRE pricing up just 0.8 percent from a year ago. Pricing remained soft across all the property segments in […]
Congestion charges—fees paid by drivers to enter highly trafficked areas in peak times—are coming to America. As part of the state budget, New York lawmakers have approved a daily charge on motor vehicles entering Manhattan below 61st Street. The plan is scheduled to go into effect in 2021, with the proceeds used to fix N.Y.C.’s […]
New York City is preparing to become the first urban area in the U.S. to adopt congestion pricing — a fee for drivers entering the city center, designed to reduce gridlock and help fund the city’s struggling subway system.
