Okay, so to sum up: adding a lane to a section of road does not necessarily induce demand. Bottlenecks are a big problem. BrooklynBus is not advocating adding lanes to Woodhaven/Cross Bay.
Now: NYCDOT'S solution is to remove bottlenecks by making sure that there are no more than 3 travel lanes throughout the corridor. No additional lanes that might (but not necessarily would) induce additional demand in certain areas and lead to bottlenecks.
So: what is wrong with eliminating bottlenecks? Is there a better way to eliminate bottlenecks than by maintaining the same number of lanes throughout the corridor? Is traffic going to flow better on a corridor with 3 travel lanes in each direction throughout the corridor, or a corridor where the number of lanes constantly changes thereby creating bottlenecks?
