NEW YORK (AP) -- There's a new plan to reduce New York City congestion. However this program released by the city's Department of Transportation Monday will not include fees to drive into midtown, like Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ill-fated plan tried to do.
The latest plan called the Sustainable Streets program calls for using a green approach to making the streets more car and pedestrian friendly.
Highlights include doubling the number of people who bike by 2015, new parking policies to reduce the number of drivers adding to traffic by driving around looking for a spot, rapid transit bus routes, and new public plazas.
Transit advocates say the plan is a good start.
