Posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Mar 14 15:31:11 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by R30A on Fri Mar 11 19:00:46 2016. West Street as it exists now certainly did not exist when Miller Highway was in existence. It was merely a service road. It was entirely reconstructed and widened after Miller was torn down.Yes, the lights did slightly reduce capacity but not by much since much of the time traffic on the highway was slow anyway. Your last statements show you know absolutely nothing about who is using Woodhaven. There are three choices from Sherpshead Bay to Woodside and vicinity. (1) The BQE (2) Pennsylvania/Jackie Robinson/Woodhaven/Queens Blvd/ BQE to Woodside or (3) Belt to Woodhaven to Queens Boulevard. I made that trip daily for nine years and knew at which times of the day which one was the best route depending on traffic conditions. I used all three of this routes also (4) Ocean Parkway as a fourth alternative. A fifth was Ocean Avenue to Empire Blvd to Rogers/Bedford to the BQE which I also used at times. With exclusive lanes on Rogers, that is no longer a viable alternative. With exclusive lanes on Woodhaven, that will become not viable most of the time leaving alternatives 1, 2 using Woodhaven briefly, 4, 5, or the Belt to Van Wyck to Northern Boulevard. In short traffic will be diverted to so many other roadways that it will not even be possible to measure all of them and all will take longer than the present Woodhaven alternative. |
