Insults don't convince me he's wrong. Responses of "Nope," "Wrong," "Thank you for admitting you're wrong" don't explain how he's wrong. There's NOTHING educational in those answers.

The bottom line is I get tired of following the discussions. Brian comes off as mean spirited. He's attacked me for real or imagined errors. The key word is attacked. Then he loves to rub my face in the real or imagined error.

I'm not going to accept that abusive behavior. Are you suggesting I should accept it?

He doesn't start threads just loves to ambush them. His motives aren't clean. He acts like he's the Bus Chat police. Nobody gave him a badge.

Three hours ago Brian posted this-

Nostalgia- And you'll stop at nothing, including destroying this board

T.S.- I've already destroyed the board. And it's OK, because it's my board and I'm the moderator, obviously.

Nostalgia- Up to now, you haven't convinced Brooklyn Bus he's always wrong.

T.S.- That's not what I'm trying to do. Because he's NOT always wrong. I just point out whenever he IS wrong."

I added who wrote it as this was Brian's reply to you. You now write this about Brian -

"He acts like he's the Bus Chat police. Nobody gave him a badge."

If he is telling the truth and is the moderator, guess what, he does have that badge. Which would make you wrong.

No one stated that any state tells drivers to wait three seconds after a signal turns green to start moving. What I and Jay Zee stated was that it was prudent not to nail the gas as soon as the signal turns green.

The reason I waited two seconds was to determine if pedestrians wanted to cross. How else was I supposed to know. If I started making the turn the instant the signal turned, I would be cutting off pedestrians and not giving them the right if way. So I still would gave been wrong. According to you, I was also wrong by waiting. So there would have been no way according to you for me to have been correct.

And please explain HOW A US STATE IN THE UNION could be in ITS RIGHT MIND?

I didn't know that states had minds. LEARN HOW TO COMPOSE A CORRECT ENGLISH before you criticize others.

Learn to read English. Let me say it once again. You stated once before that you did not agree with the default 25 mph speed limit which is the major feature of Vision Zero. Now you state you support Vision Zero. What I said was you can't disagree with the major feature of Vision Zero and also support the program, because those two viewpoints are contradictory.

There you go again, restating what I said in order to disagree and prove some erroneous point. I NEVER STATED THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING ACROSS THE US THAN ARE KILLEC CRISSING THE STREET.

That is what YOU STATED and you would be correct.

WHAT I STATED WAS THE FOLLOWING: I said that the dangers of getting killed or injured crossing the street are GREATLY EXAGGERATED. To prove that point I compared YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING KILLED CROSSING THE STREET with your chances of GETTING ACROSS SAFELY in a one year period IN NEW YORK CITY.

Then I took that number and compared it with your chance of getting struck by lightning in the US within a one year period. The assumption I was making which may or may not be correct is that your chance of getting struck by lightning within NYC is no greater or less than it is anywhere else in the US.

Comparing those two numbers I concluded that you were eight times more likely to get hit by lightning (assuming you were in a thunderstorm) than you were getting killed crossing the street.

You conveniently omitted crossing the street safely and just did a comparison between lightning deaths and pedestrian injuries. THAT WAS NOT WHAT I WAS SAYING AT ALL.

You can only win a discussion by changing what I stated.

See my response to R30A.

I was not comparing lightning strikes with pedestrian fatalities per se.

I never stated there were more lightning strikes than pedestrian fatalities.

I was comparing you chances of getting killed crossing the street as compared with your chances of getting struck by lightning. To do that I considered the probable number of safe street crossings without incident. The statistics you cite say nothing about safe street crossings.

Yes, an extra three minutes over the length of the existing bus lanes, assuming the average speeds are not lower for the portion of the lanes DOT chose not to include. For all we know, DOT chose the portion of the lanes with the fastest speeds and least amount of speed decline. So the question is why didn't they present data for the entire bus route if they have nothing to hide?

Second, when the bus lanes are fully complete, the lanes will be extended by 150 percent, so the three extra minutes become and extra twelve minutes assuming the speeds will not be slower where there are service roads. Since the three lanes are not contiguous with slip lanes every quarter mile or so, we can expect greater delays there. So a 12 minute delay would most likely be a 15 minute delay when the lanes are completed, assuming no signal improvements. Any way you look at it, it is still at least a 38 percent decline in travel speeds which is very significant.

It is ridiculous that drivers on a major arterial in NYC should only be allowed to travel at an average speed of 10 to 12 mph for a distance of eight miles especially when bus speeds are not significantly improved and in some cases are traveling even slower.

Who knows? My guess? Substantially greater turnover resulting in less useful figures. Just a guess, but makes sense to me.


"Second, when the bus lanes are fully complete, the lanes will be extended by 150 percent,"
For the sake of argument, I'll take this at face value.

"so the three extra minutes become and extra twelve minutes assuming the speeds will not be slower where there are service roads."
NO. Arithmetic fail. MAJOR FAIL. 150% of 3 is 4.5, SO THAT IS 7.5 MINUTES. NOT 12!
(Also, there is no reason service roads would make the speed slower. If anything, it will make it faster as turning traffic would not be there.)

"Since the three lanes are not contiguous with slip lanes every quarter mile or so, we can expect greater delays there."
We can't assume this.

"So a 12 minute delay would most likely be a 15 minute delay when the lanes are completed, assuming no signal improvements."
A 7.5 minute delay which won't even be a 7.5 minute delay with the proper proposed reengineering, you mean. And why the hell would you assume no signal improvements?

"Any way you look at it, it is still at least a 38 percent decline in travel speeds which is very significant."
Any way you look at it it is not.

"It is ridiculous that drivers on a major arterial in NYC should only be allowed to travel at an average speed of 10 to 12 mph for a distance of eight miles especially when bus speeds are not significantly improved and in some cases are traveling even slower."

No the MAJOR FAIL is with your arithmetic not mine. The portion where statistics are given Metropolitan to Furmanville is not the complete bus lane. It is only half the lane. So the complete lane that was thus far installed would be a six minutes delay, not three. And since that amounts to only half the proposed lane, the delay from Rockaway Blvd to Queens Blvd would be at least 12 minutes, and probably 15 minutes because an extension of the bus lane from Eliot Avenue to Queens Blvd would add at least another two minutes. Your 7.5 minute delay is fictitious because your arithmetic is off.

And that doesn't take into account the proposed lanes are not contiguous so the delay would even be greater. For argument sake, let's assume signal improvements wash out the extra delay and you are still left with a 14 minute delay, about twice what you say it is.

You say DOT didn't show the delay for the entire bus lane because of increased turnover. They are not taking down license plate numbers or doing a survey. They are doing pure counts, so they gave no idea what the turnover is. They did not show the delay for the entire bus lane in order to mislead and make the delay appear less tan it really is. But the arithmetic for the portion shown IS A 38 PERCENT DECREASE IN TRAVEL SPEED. You can deny that all you want, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE ARITHMETIC WORKS OUT TO BE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE DECLINE OF 19.5 MPH TO 12 MPH.

You say cars won't have to travel an average speed of 10 to 12 mph for eight mikes, but all indications show that us exactly what will happen.

My arithmetic is immaculate. It is entirely based on the numbers you provided. If you have a problem with any of the numbers, you are disagreeing with numbers you provided. And you are still ignoring the benefits which will come.
p.s. lanes only exist in integer quantities.

"And that doesn't take into account the proposed lanes are not contiguous so the delay would even be greater. For argument sake, let's assume signal improvements wash out the extra delay and you are still left with a 14 minute delay, about twice what you say it is."
Except, unless the numbers you are basing it on are wrong, it would be nowhere near a 14 minute delay,

"You say DOT didn't show the delay for the entire bus lane because of increased turnover."
I certainly DID NOT say that.

"They are not taking down license plate numbers or doing a survey."
That is EXACTLY what they ARE doing.

"They are doing pure counts, so they gave no idea what the turnover is."
That is EXACTLY what they are NOT doing.

"They did not show the delay for the entire bus lane in order to mislead and make the delay appear less tan it really is."
That is your unsubstantiated accusation. Likely false considering the track record of your unsubstantiated accusations.

"But the arithmetic for the portion shown IS A 38 PERCENT DECREASE IN TRAVEL SPEED. You can deny that all you want, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE ARITHMETIC WORKS OUT TO BE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE DECLINE OF 19.5 MPH TO 12 MPH."
...At one part of the day, in one direction, before the beneficial parts of the project are completed. Sort of like how Ted Cruz won the republican primaries, as he was ahead after Iowa voted. (Hint: He didn't win.)

"You say cars won't have to travel an average speed of 10 to 12 mph for eight mikes, but all indications show that us exactly what will happen."
There is no indication whatsoever that that will happen at all.

But they are the ones collecting the data so why can't they get it for the entire study area? That is the real question.

Because they don't have a time machine.

What does tgat supposed to mean? Responsible planning knows tgat before you make a change, you collect before counts and after you make the change, you collect after counts. If DOT did not have the foresight to collect "before" counts is just another example of their poor planning techniques.

You assume that they didn't.

It could easily be that they did, and the results were meaningless.

Either way, we can't go back now and get them.

But the answer to your question about why they don't go back in time to get the information is that they do not have a time machine, nor any other means of going back in time.

The real answer is also on Slide 45 - EZPass readers. Either they didn't exist or didn't return reliable data for the other portion of the corridor.

EZ Pass Readers are not the only way you could collect data. DOT was only willing to use low cost methods. Before EZ Pass readers, there were surveys and traffic counts. It shouldn't have come as a surprise to them after the fact they could not have used EZ Pass readers. Part of the planning process is the adequate collection of data. I stand by my previous remarks.

You just can't say data collection is not easy so we will just skip that part of the process.

They DID use EZPass readers, so they obviously CAN.

You assert they did not collect adequate data. That assertion is unfounded. Yet you use the data that they did collect...

No EZ Pass reader Data was only partial. Not for the entire bus lane.

So if they did not collect data for the entire bus lane which they admit they did not, then the data collected is not adequate. PERIOD.

They did not say that they did not collect it. You are making the assumption. PERIOD.

Well if they collected it, why not present it if it was any good? If not, why not?

I have already suggested why it could likely not be good data: High turnover.

You have zero proof that is the case. If that is in fact the reason, it was DOT's obligation to explain that.

I don't need proof.

"If that is in fact the reason, it was DOT's obligation to explain that."
No, it is not.
