Posted by R30A on Fri Mar 11 19:00:46 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by BrooklynBus on Fri Mar 11 17:13:17 2016. "First of all the West Side Highway was not eliminated. The elevated highway was replaced with an at grade boulevard so no capacity was lost, but trip tines increased with addition of traffic lights."You don't seem to understand what capacity is, if you think that no capacity was lost here. Lights reduce capacity, and furthermore, it was not replaced with the street level thoroughfare, as said thoroughfare existed beforehand. "And no one is talking about building more roads. If by the reverse you mean reducing capacity, in order to know if traffic is reduced you also have to survey all alternate routes to see the traffic effects there. DOT's analysis will ignore the alternates of the BQE, the Van Wyck and the Jackie Robinson. They may not even look at the parallel residential streets." You claim that such routes aren't being surveyed. Such claims are absurd. Furthermore, WHY THE HELL WOULD the BQE or the Robinson be surveyed as alternates for Woodhaven. Do you have any idea where these roads even go??? |
