BROOKLYN — He popularized the word “gridlock;” it has become his nickname, “Gridlock Sam.” He detests it, and he has a plan to mitigate and sharply reduce congestion in our city, especially in Manhattan.
Although he wisely avoids the phrase, his new plan is a congestion-pricing approach. However, it is slightly different from other plans advanced in recent years. And because he is Sam Schwartz, probably the most outstanding traffic expert in the city, his plan might have a chance. He also has a dog named Brooklyn, so he can’t be all bad.
