It's almost impossible driving in Times Square. ...Well impossible to turn onto a Street from Broadway! SO MANY DAMN TOURISTS crossing the street!!!!! It is nice to drive in Times Square late at night in a covertible though. I think we need congestion pricing...even if I don't want to pay. Too many cars! I drive in Manhattan pretty regularly.

As a New Yorker I am appalled at Mayor Bloomberg who I used to respect but recently with his announcement of charging people to enter Manhattan and eliminating cars from Times Square are not the answer to extreme congestion into NYC. The main problem is the people and not respecting the signs. Another reason not to visit Manhattan. I never liked Manhattan but I feel that this just goes way too far.

I drive in NYC sometimes, and I avoid Times Square because the traffic sucks. If you're dumb enough to drive in Times Square, then you deserve to sit in the traffic. I don't need a mayor to ban it for me to avoid it. It’s pretty stupid. I drive in NYC sometimes, and I avoid Times Square because the traffic sucks.

There isn't a whole lot of difference in car traffic in NYC now versus 20 years ago. This is about money, power and control. I can assure you, except for traveling through the city to get to CT, I will never visit Manhattan again. Mayor Bloomberg is a piece of garbage along with his crazy policies.

There are so many people in NYC that those areas are damn near impossible to traverse in an efficient manner (by efficient we're talking sitting through less than two red lights in a row).

Portland removed a major highway though its downtown, and other major cities have turned large areas into pedestrian only (Buenos Aires comes to mind). In urban environments, personal vehicles are the least effective mode of transportation. It’s been done before.

That should draw TONS of merchants. Of course that would be the end of the iconic photos of the sea of yellow taxis on Broadway, but I like the idea of a European-esque pedestrian zone in New York.
