That is a great oversimplification of what is occurring. That is not the way to plan.Cars do not win when their travel time is slowed by 38 percent. Bus rider's do not win when their travel time is also slowed which is exactly what has happened with the exclusive bus lanes in effect during the AM peak between Furmanville and Metropolitan Avenue. Rather than trying to determine what went wrong and spending the next year trying to change those numbers BEFORE EXPANDING THE PROGRAM OF EXCLUSIVE LANES, DOT is moving ahead anyway. As further proof of DOT's incompetence, they look at Google Maps and propose without any volumes regarding turning data, they propose banning 26 left turn movements. After outcry from the community, THEN they go and collect data, and determine that 20 OUT OF THOSE 26 BANS SHOULD NOT BE MADE AFTER ALL. That is ass backwards planning. FIRST YOU COLLECT THE DATA AND THEN YOU MAKE THE PROPOSAL, not vice versa as DOT has done. DOT has consistently stated that SBS works elsewhere so it has to work on Woodhaven. That type of simplistic planning along with your simplistic statement is why this plan is doomed to failure. |
