Posted by R30A on Wed Feb 24 23:28:34 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Feb 24 22:49:33 2016. "Yes bus riders matter less than other road users when they are outnumbered 5 to 1."No they don't. (And they aren't outnumbered by that much either) "On the other hand, if bus riders outnumber other road users by 5 to 1, then they matter much more. That's why it made sense to double the width of the sidewalks on Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn and remove two lanes of traffic and ban all cars because there bus riders did outnumber cars by 5 to 1 and pedestrian traffic was very heavy. Also there were plenty of parallel roads where traffic could be diverted to." Yes. "That is clearly not the case on Woodhaven." No, but nobody at all is proposing that. "Also pedestrian crossings are light at most intersections with the exceptions of Liberty and Jamaica Aves." Define light. I disagree, but such is obviously a judgement call. |
