I doubt there is much disagreement on either of the above points.
It will be worth watching how the New York Commission on Congestion investiages the facts and comes up with recommendations.
We might gain some worthwhile plans for Philadelphia out of it.

The only way to "mitigate congestion" is to reduce the number of cars on the road at a given time. Aside from making driving more expensive, care to tell us how "congestion mitigation" might otherwise be achieved?
And, no, I'm not advocating this for Philly. But in New York it's (thankfully) a different story.
