Posted by BrooklynBus on Thu Jul 7 15:07:17 2016, in response to Re: Waiting for proof, posted by R30A on Thu Jul 7 14:43:22 2016. You are speaking UTTER NONSENSE.How does banning 26 left turns causing thousands of driver a day to put on extra mileage and increasing their trip times "VALUE THE TIME OF CAR AND TRUCK DRIVERS? DOT even realized the stupidity of their own plan AFTER THEY DECIDED TO COLLECT SOME DATA, and then RESCINDED 20 of those left turn restrictions. Proving you plan benefits more than it harms IS THE ESSENCE OF GOOD PLANNING. DOT certainly has that obligation to do that. Which Planning School did you graduate from? Mine was Columbia. Is your response going to be that a degree from over 40 years ago is worthless today? If the buses are operating slower today because of the illegal operation of cars, IT IS STILL THE FAULT OF THE PROJECT, because PROPER ENFORCEMENT IS A KEY ELEMENT. I assume that passenger trip time will not decrease by 30 percent EVEN IF BUSES WILL TRAVEL 30 PERCENT QUICKER, because the two are totally different metrics and are like comparing apples and oranges. All you can say is they are both fruit but the similarities end there. And what you state about pedestrians and cyclists is untrue. Not everyone is able to use a bicycle and not everyone finds being a pedestrian easy. Some need cars. And I wasn't talking about favoring cars as you allege, I WAS TALKING ABOUT TREATING EVERYONE EQUAL. You are the one talking about DISCRIMINATING against anyone who has little choice but to drive. Someone who has a choice of a 20 minute auto trip vs a two hour bus trip or a one hour tiring cycling trip is DOING NOTHING WRONG by driving. HE IS NOT A DETRIMENT TO SOCIETY as you contend. Your last paragraph is totally incomprehensible so I can't respond. But if you doubt that the legal system awards damages according to someone's potential income if they are killed through negligence, go ask a lawyer. |
