Posted by BrooklynBus on Fri Sep 16 14:00:24 2016, in response to Re: Fighting the DOT S(BS) on Woodhaven Blvd, posted by Wakefield-241st Street on Fri Sep 16 12:59:48 2016. I definitely did not have you in mind when I made the statement that some are here to prove me wrong.I don't want to open up the discussion about the 34 St elevator, but I don't remember being wrong on that. My point was they could have referred riders to the PATH elevator and I believe you or someone else took issue with that saying it was not under their control so the MTA was correct in not mentioning it. I do not understand your point about Woodhaven Blvd extending into Howard Beach/Lndenwood. I didn't answer which engineer said 20 of the 26 intersections should never have has the proposed left turns banned because I didn't see the post. But to answer now, I never claimed any engineer stated that. What happened is that the turning bans were proposed but the total count was never provided by DOT. At each meeting they mentioned five different ones depending on who you spoke to. (Another example of their deception.) Only the Queens Chronicle and myself added them all up. The total was either 23 or 26. Then after the plan was revised, the new count was six. DOT never gave any reason why about 20 proposed turning restrictions were rescinded. My feeling is that the "engineers" made the proposals to ban left turns without even doing any traffic counts. And when they were finally done after the all the protests, the numbers showed it just wasn't feasible to ban those left turns, especially Metropolitan where I posted the video of about a hundred cars waiting to make left turns the Sunday before Mothers Day. I never had the attitude that I am correct and everyone else is wrong. As far as my anti-SBS articles, I have made plenty of alternate suggestions. In fact the MTA is currently reviewing one of my specific SBS proposal improvement suggestions. This time I was assured they would seriously consider it rather than automatically just dismiss it. I should be hearing back any day now. |
