Of course there is evidence they are not valuing the time of car and truck drivers by initially proposing 26 left turn bans on Woodhaven Blvd amongst many other reasons.DOT has not proved that the total number of minutes saved is greater than the total number of minutes lost. Not only have cars lost considerable time, buses are also operating slower between Metropolitan and Furmanville. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE TO ASSUME BUS PASSENGER TRIPS WILL BE 30 PECENT QUICKER when this is all said and done with as DOT has alleged. And you never talked about treating everyone equally. All you care about is preferential treatment for pedestrians, cyclists and bus riders. To say someone's time who earns a greater income is worth more than someone who earns a lesser income is not an elitist viewpoint. It is just the truth and how legal damages are determined. When someone is killed through someone else's negligence, the court determines how much is awarded by estimating how much money that person would have earned if he had lived out his full life. So if I am an elitist, our entire court system is as well. |
