If you think traffic will be improved, why did everyone at the Woodhaven meeting disagree with that. When the speed limit is reduced from 35 and 40 mph to 25 mph, average speeds have to slow down and trips have to take longer. When there are fewer lanes and the same number of cars, travel has to slow down considerably. This has already happened with the rush hour bus lanes on Northern Woodhaven where people are already complaining of trips taking 25 to 45 extra minutes.If bus stops are not cleared now requiring people to wait on sidewalks cleared by commercial establishments or in the parking lane, it is common sense to see that with SBS on the main roadway and no nearby sidewalks, those waiting for buses wil wait in the main roadway in the bus lane which is much more dangerous than waiting in a parking lane or on a cleared sidewalk. |
