People in many neighborhoods that surround commercial and government centers

are more than familiar with traffic calming methods that can be used to reduce and slow

down traffic. The conjestion pricing concept is just a new sexier one what with it's London

connection. There is no need for federal tax dollars to be used to study ways to reduce

traffic. However there is a need to get new people at the Department of Transportation

and take the whole matter out of the political process. When that happens we won't need

traffic calming because pigs will be flying and we can ride them instead.
