I certainly did not scare anyone out of the crosswalk. You just continue to make up lies.In fact I gave them an extra two seconds in order to stRt crossing, something I was also criticized for by those who said I should have just turned when the signal turned green. Had I done that, then the possibility I scared them out of the crosswalk could have existed. But still others stated that the pedestrian was obligated to place his foot in the gutter. Since I proceeded very slowly and didn't slam on the gas, I CERTAINLY DID NOT SCARE ANYONE. in fact I A comparison is made between the B36 and B4 where riders also must walk a block. The difference is that there are over a million connections a year between the B36 and the subway about ten times as many as the B4. Also some bus riders have difficulty walking an extra block. That is why I placed those bus stops there decades ago when the bus routes in the area underwent a major updating that I designed. The MTA agreed at that time not to have the B36 go straight on Avenue Z due to the very high numbers of transferring passengers. There were no problems until a turning bus at East 17 Street struck and killed a passenger (the first bus fatality in 38 years since the bus started to make that turn), and now that bus turn is considered unsafe. If a B4 or B49 strikes a passenger while turning, should those bus turns also be eliminated? There are other implications as well. Bay Pizzeria complained business was down dramatically since the bus stop in front of the store was eliminated and now the store is for rent. Will DOT now help feed the family of the former owner? as going so slow that the pedestrians figured they found beat me by crossing outside the crosswalk which they did. It is obvious that nothing I would ever say would ever get you to agree with me and in your I eyes, I would always be wrong no matter what I did. |
