There’s An Easy Solution Here You Know . . .

Members of the City Council encourage the mayor to encourage the Port Authority to pay more to New York to offset the perverse benefit New Jersey drivers will get if congestion pricing is implemented. No, really:

City lawmakers want New Jersey drivers to pay up under the mayor’s plan to charge motorists to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street.

Currently, Garden State commuters are exempt under the congestion-pricing plan because they already pay a bridge or tunnel toll to get into the city.

But about 20 City Council members signed a letter asking Mayor Bloomberg to push for a Jersey fee — or get the Port Authority to contribute more to the city’s mass-transit network.

“We are concerned that the burden of paying for congestion pricing will fall too heavily on New York City residents,” the letter reads.
