More Ways To Make The City Move

"We applaud Mayor Michael Bloomberg for acting on the idea, which was offered by a Times reader last year. Mr. Bloomberg has shown that he's not afraid to try what works, something he demonstrated again recently with his bold congestion pricing proposal, which would charge a weekday toll to most drivers on Manhattan's busiest streets. While that complex issue is being hammered out by an appointed commission, we'd like the mayor to consider a few other easy, common-sense changes to bring order to the streets of the Apple."

The Times' ideas include creating taxi stands, fee-based residential parking permits, and the elimination of parking permits for city employees.
