Your suspicions are wrong because I have the facts and links below. I was only wrong on one thing. I claimed the original proposed cost for SBS was $15 to $20 million. It was only $7.5 to $12 million. In 2012 when this request was made that was the amount they sought for a "SBS/BRT " route from 61 St to Beach 116 Street. There is no reference to initial phases. THAT WAS THE COMPLETE PROJECT!!! They also called it BRT at the time because no distinction was made. Here is the link. It is project X772275. Here is the link: http://www.nymtc.org/Files/TIP_comments_010713/Details.pdf Later DOT documents cited the cost as $15 to $20 million. Perhaps the $7.5 to $12 million was the federal share. Here is the link for the BRT project at $231 million. http://www.fta.dot.gov/documents/NY_Woodhaven_Blvd_SBS_Profile_and_Map.pdf Are you now going to claim that the in a few years the cost rose from $12 million to $231 million without any change to the scope? If you would have attended any of the meetings, DOT made it quite clear midstream they are changing the scope to include BRT elements but never being clear on what was actually being changed. What do you have to say now? I don't think for one minute you will admit error. You thought I was bluffing and didn't have the sources. SBS does not equal BRT. |
