Science Park businesses who already are on the edge of the city should not be included in the covered area, b. the city desperately needs to improve public transportation to make it easier for people to use alternatives to their own cars, and c. encourage people to carpool to lower the # of cars on the road. Isn't it worth making people's lives easier rather than just sticking a charge on to everyone regardless of their efforts to reduce pollution? @CongestionCharge: I didn’t say that reduction of traffic was a bad idea, I said that
