"I showed you haw travel times will increase and since I use the roadway every weekend now and formerly used it everyday during the week, I am quite familiar with the traffic patterns and times. You just won't accept any logic and dismiss all anecdotes by others."Except you never did. You keep on making up numbers and asserting them as fact. And yes, I and others here DO dismiss all anecdotes by yourself and others as datasets. Anecdotes are absolutely useless as data. Thank you for finally coming to that realization. "It is very easy to imagine future traffic with one less lane. Last year on a Saturday, traffic on Cross Bay was moving at a snails pace like 10 mph for about three blocks. Why? Because the right lane was closed off for utility work. After the blockage, traffic flowed fine. If there was a bus lane in effect, the same lane would be closed off all day long, so why is it so difficult for you to admit that traffic would be greatly slowed? It would be just as if that utility construction were permanent." No. Traffic closures cannot be extrapolated to be used as models for the future bus lanes. A great deal of the delay from traffic closures are from the merges resulting at the beginning of them. The Woodhaven SBS plan is designed to reduce those merges, so traffic will move better! |
