Posted by R30A on Mon Mar 14 22:15:51 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Mar 14 18:09:58 2016. "So you are saying there is less traffic on West Street today than there was on Miller Highway since capacity was reduced? Do you have any numbers to back that up?"I personally do not, but I believe such literally is a textbook example. "Don't be ridiculous. That isn't what I was saying at all. What I was saying was that someone living anywhere in souther Brooklyn could have got a job in Woodside, Sunnyside or Astoris for example who would have a similar route to the one I had. And as I said, that was only one example. There are also coming from the east who would switch from Woodhaven to the Van Wyck or Lefferts Blvd with longer Woodhaven travel times." Nobody in their right mind going from Astoria to Sunset Park would go via Woodhaven. I think you may have had literally the only commute for which Woodhaven or the BQE were roughly equivalent. "That's right you can make a wild statement without any data but any statement I make is rejected for lack of data. Keep that up. Besides its not up to me to show Rogers traffic did not increase. THAT IS DOT's JOB, and they have been clearly negligent." I didn't make a serious statement. I certainly claim that I expect the number of commuters from Woodside to Sheepshead Bay is not exactly 10 if it makes you feel better. DOT does not publish their counts for every single street in the city. Why should Rogers be any different? So NO. IT IS NOT DOT'S JOB. "Exactly and everyone in those "additional lanes" will now have to share the other lanes increasing traffic. You are assuming that everyone in those "additional" lanes are traveling over and under the LIRR when probably most of them may be never pass the LIRR." Except that they will need to merge where it goes down to 3 lanes anyway. Oh well. Not everyone does, but backups from merges can easily go back to areas prior to said merges and affect people who are not going through said area. "Your last paragraph is not comprehensible." I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. My one quibble is that I take no ownership of it. |
