No question they fit the Manhattan side; once you're in the Bronx, it's a different story.I don't see it as a money issue, as much as it's a consistency issue. All the major entrances to New York City have large signs warning commercial drivers to stay off Parkways. If you allow it for one or two, you lose that, and the potential for problems widens. As for the FDR, there are multiple issues with allowing commercial vehicles on the highway, including clearance issues and issues with the elevated roadway's supports; even if you fixed those, you still have a substandard roadway for the existing traffic as far as lane widths and entrance/exit ramps are concerned. |
