A new congestion pricing plan that’s gaining traction calls for an $8 toll both ways for the Queensboro Bridge. If it makes you feel any better, for most in LIC it’ll only be $5.44 because we’ll be using an EZ Pass. I’m putting the odds on this coming into effect at 66%, but the odds on there being a local press conference and photo opp for pols announcing it at 0%.
The Queens Courier writes somewhat emphatically that the city will be building another ferry stop called ‘Long Island City – North.’ They don’t expect it will be completed until 2017 and speculate the location being somewhere near 47th Rd and Center Blvd.
Finally, The Court Square Blog reports that the new Food Cellar in Court Square expects to open in late-March or early-April.
