How many tines do I have to show you that bus riders are outnumbered five to one? You choose to only look at a one hour period, not a 24 hour period, which must be looked at for a proposal in effect for 24 hours.Look at the counts given for crossing Woodhaven at Metropolitan Avenue. The south crosswalk shows 54 crossing within the peak hour. That is less than one person crossing per minute AND THAT IS THE PEAK! Further, no accident data has been provided for that intersection, but DOT wants to reduce road capacity at that location from 6 northbound lanes and six southbound lanes (including turn lanes) to three general traffic lanes for each direction. THAT IS A 50 PERCENT REDUCTION IN ROAD CAPACITY TO SERVE TWO PASSENGERS CROSSING WOODHAVEN PER MINUTE DURING THE PEAK HOUR if you look at both crosswalks. And you are saying that a 50 percent reduction in road capacity for general traffic will make it move faster. TOTALLY UTTER NONSENSE!!! |
