All along Cross bay there is no reduction in bus lanes."Your statement is not true. Two alternatives were put forth. One with narrowing the lanes and the other with keeping the lanes the same width but eliminating all left turn bays. To accomplish to first, the speed limit would have to be lowered to 20 or 25 mph because faster speeds would not be safe. A tractor trailer currently barely fits into the existing traffic lanes. The second option would greatly delay traffic as cars would be stuck vehicles d any car making a left turn at numerous cross streets. To say lanes are not being removed throughout is plainly misleading since lanes are being removed for 3.5 out of the 4 miles between Queens Blvd and Rockaway Blvd, Trottenberg stated that depending on the results of Phase 1, they will then decide whether or not to proceed with Phase 2. When I spoke to her on March 4th, I asked her why I never received a response to my letter suggesting they only go ahead with Phase 1 (with modifications) and drop Phase 2. She told me "you might get what your wish." That doesn't sound to me like Phase 2 is a definite. The federal funds necessary have not yet been procured. |
