Dictatorship not Democracy

The answers that DOT gave the Plumb Beach Civic association on May 3rd regarding their traffic changes in Sheepshead Bay, which also inconvenience bus riders, was they are going to do whatever they please and do not have to listen to the communities if they do not want to. That is the same response they gave to Woodhaven Boulevard users regarding SBS last November. They agreed to have additional workshops this in Woodhaven this Spring to get additional input from the community and are now going back on their word and instead are using these meetings to explain to the community what they have already decided. This is not democracy; it is dictatorship.

In Sheepshead Bay, they wouldn't even agree to collect data to evaluate their proposal and would not respond to questions they were asked or provide data such as traffic volumes to justify their contention of the road being congested where they claimed it was. They would only say the area is dangerous and their changes makes it safer and are here to stay.
