About Metropolitan, I wasn't speaking about northbound traffic. I realize they could use Cooper. It's southbound that is problematic and what I was talking about. You would need a left turn cycle at 73rd Avenue which would cause big delays on the overpass.88 St provided a quick bypass saving 5 minutes during ties of heavy traffic, but DOT eliminated that option by forcing all cars on the service road going south to turn right onto Union Turnpike. When I told them what they did, try said they had no idea savvy drivers were using 88 St as a bypass. Regarding the protected left turn lane causing back up for through traffic at Rockaway Blvd, that has been a problem for a long time but is easily remedied. All they need to do is to provide a mid block exit to the service road north of 103 Av. I suggested that to them. Their response was " But that means we will have to cut down a few trees.". They made it sound that cutting down two trees would pose a problem. But they have no problem cutting down about 100 trees or more for SBS which of course they never bothered to mention. |
