Allison Hanes: Should we put a price on congestion in Montreal?

London did it. New York is doing it in a North American first. Would congestion pricing work in Montreal?

New York was set to become the first city in North America to introduce congestion pricing. It’s something that makes a lot of sense in Montreal, not many cities on the continent are centred on an island. Less traffic, less potholes and use the money for more transit.

      It’s not a news story, it’s the most recent local analysis of the idea if people want to read up on it.

    I don’t think being on an island is necessary for such a thing tomake sense. But I’m all for it. Not holding my breath, tho: we can’t even get Mont-Royal to be pedestrian for more than 2 months per year
