Well I certainly know you are neither a transportation planner or an engineer.It is not my job to show how this plan hurts more than it helps or helps more than it hurts. THAT IS THE JOB OF THE MTA and DOT. And they have woefully failed in showing how this plan helps more than it hurts. They clam to be using traffic forecasting models but have refused to tell us what those models show. That is because either the models are not statistically valid or they actually show more are hurt than helped. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON FOR KEEPING THE RESULTS SECRET. The meaning of that paragraph is as follows. I was stating that capacity isn't the only consideration. If it were, we could ban all turns and greatly improve capacity but that wouldn't serve anyone well because people do need to turn. And going from 12 lanes to 8 is slightly less tha a 33 % reduction in capacity when you consider turning movements and also consider increases in green time for through traffic. But you also must consider increased travel times and distances for those having to bake their turns elsewhere. That is why I stated capacity is not the only consideration. |
