"Okay .4 miles isn't a mile. But it is still too much especially when you consider all the other left turns that will require similar additional travel."Yes, .4 miles isn't a mile. That is my point. Purely opinion that such is too much. "And how much additional time will that take? Don't forget that all the cars currently making a left onto Union Turnpike plus many of the 30 or so cars currently turning left at each traffic cycle onto Metropolitan also will be diverted to Cooper westbound. You are also assuming that everyone wil figure that out." Not particularly much additional time. Assuming they go at 10 miles an hour, 2-3 minutes. Not a big deal. I see no reason to assume people can figure out the most direct route to their destination. If they do not, it is their fault not the DOT's. It is not the DOT's fault if someone at WTC desiring to go to NJ takes the Battery Tunnel, Williamsburg Bridge, and Holland tunnel to get there. "And what about northbound users currently making a left to Metropolitan who will now have to travel north all the way to Furmanville? Do you have an alternative for that extra mile of travel? " Right on 73rd, left on Metropolitan. 700 foot diversion. 3 minutes out of your way. IF YOU ARE ON FOOT. |
