New York is still “in warning” to end the congestion prices in two weeks, federal lawyers said Wednesday, but it is not clear what the Trump administration would do if the deadline is ignored.
A administration lawyer doubled on the deadline of April at the first prestial conference in a lawsuit between the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Federal Government on the controversial toll of $ 9 to enter Manhattan.
“The transport department maintains the position that New York City should stop charging tolls before April 20,” said the United States assistant prosecutor Dominika Tarczynska.
What happens if congestion cameras are still active and collect tolls after April 20 is at the discretion of the Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, and Tarczynska said that could mean something, or possible nothing.
“The secretary, however, is still evaluating what [the Department of Transportation’s] The options are if New York City does not comply, and there has not been a final decision about what will happen, if something will happen on April 20, ”Tarczynska told Federal Judge Lewis J. Liman on Wednesday in the remote position.
That comment, plus a publication on the social networks of a social media account of “Rapid response” on Tuesday, rests in a wide range of reports that a proposed trial program constituted an agreement between New York and the Trump administration in the toll program.
In the joint letter of April 4 presented by all parties in the lawsuit, the United States prosecutors said they had no “currently” plans to present any preliminary motion to stop the program.
Although the trial schedule could drag the trial until October, there was no explicit agreement in the letter regarding the program that dates back, nor did the federals agree to retain precautionary actions in the Court.
The MTA lawyer, Roberta Ann Kaplan, said that unless the judge issued an order, the cameras will remain on.
“The price of consciousness is in force,” he said. “We believe it is working.”
After making the trial schedule official, they told the lawyers how he was “waiting for a professional experience.”
President Trump had criticized the prices of congression in the campaign last year before the new program was implemented in January in a general income movement for the MTA that state officials said that Wolde helps reduce congestion and boosts public transport.
The Trump administration announced that it was retroactively rescuing federal approval for the plan, with Duffy establishing a March 21 deadline for Governor Kathy Hochul to deactivate toll collection cameras.
But when the first deadline on March 21 went and left, Duffy Cool Hochul 30 more days to meet.
