Posted by RIPTA42HopeTunnel on Mon Nov 3 15:46:22 2014, in response to Re: ''World Class Bus Rapid Transit'' for Woodhaven Blvd... lol, posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Nov 3 12:22:19 2014. You posted the plan. That's all I know. It shows no left turn southbound at Rockaway Blvd. What do you think the impact will be? There are now at least ten cars lined up to make a left turn most of the time. The only other place they could turn is the block before. Then they will need one lane residential streets to get to Rockaway Blvd.Certainly not ten minutes. If anything, cars making that left would probably turn right on 103rd Avenue, and left onto Rockaway Boulevard from 103rd. The additional 1,000 feet might add one minute to a trip. Certainly not ten minutes. There is already no left turn at 103rd, but even if it were allowed, the first street connecting 103rd to Rockaway Boulevard east of Woodhaven Boulevard is 99th Street, which isn't residential. The alternative is either to continue to provide a left turn lane and have only two lanes of traffic or to suspend the bus lane for that block which would be the thing to do. I don't see those alternatives proposed. Or narrowing the median to provide a left turn lane, keeping three lanes of through traffic and the bus lane. |
