Intelligence is a willingness to listen to others and be willing to change your mind when presented with evidence.And if you had ever presented a shred of actual evidence to defend any of your absurd assertions, you might have made an actual point there. But as it is, not so much. |

You need to provide proof because you constantly make outlandish claims which are frequently contradicted by all available data.He also needs to provide proof because he has a record of believing that assertion = proof. He needs to learn what "proof" actually means. |

Furthermore, based on what he has said, he ended up in the MTA from another agency when his department was shifted from City Planning, so he wasn't actually hired by them.Sheepshead bites fired him after too many articles of his were filled with blatant lies. |

He's written more than one column on Vision Zero but I read his April 14, 2014 column. An excerpt is:The number of pedestrian fatalities is a real problem and we need real solutions. The goal of Vision Zero is admirable but unattainable unless the entire city was to become a pedestrian mall. Of course, the speed limit on some streets should only be 20 or 25 MPH, but overly simplistic solutions such as a universal 20 MPH speed limit never worked and never will. Just like a flat income tax rate or a flat $100 fine for every violation would not work either. This excerpt is from his August 25, 2015 column: Conclusion Pedestrian deaths do matter, but the problem needs to be put in perspective and not exaggerated. The city attempts to tie pedestrian safety to every proposed transportation change. They emphasize that the proposed Woodhaven Boulevard SBS program will increase pedestrian safety. Yet not everyone agrees; some believe it will make the situation less safe for pedestrians. Where did he write pedestrian death DON'T matter? He DIDN'T. If you don't believe me, read the articles for yourself. I listed the dates so they shouldn't be difficult to find. |

"Whenever I discuss my opposition to some of the features of Vision Zero, those who disagree make the same argument: that the slower a vehicle travels, the less likely a pedestrian will be killed. That analysis is overly simplistic because other factors need to be considered, such as the need to get people to their destinations in a reasonable amount of time."That paragraph is complaining that people are not valuing a couple minutes of a driver's life as much as the entirety of the life of a pedestrian. That somebody would make that comparison gives one a frightening window into his mind. |

That paragraph is complaining that people are not valuing a couple minutes of a driver's life as much as the entirety of the life of a pedestrian.A couple minutes every day adds up, and think about this: cars aren't out there seeking out pedestrians to mow down - the pedestrians who get hit are usually breaking traffic laws (jaywalking or crossing at a red light). So because people are too stupid to look both ways before crossing the street, we need to slow down traffic? And the mitigation strategies inconvenience pedestrians too. I grew up along Queens Blvd, the so-called "boulevard of death". At 6:30 AM, there was never any traffic, and it was easy to see for quite some distance that there were no cars coming. So I could run to the bus stop on the other side without being in any danger. Of course, because some idiots were doing this when there actually were cars coming, they put those damn fences up. So now even at 6:30 AM when the road was completely empty, I had to either learn to jump hurdles (tried a few times) or go to the crosswalk. Added 2 minutes to my morning commute (The Q60 was there at 6:46 every morning like clockwork). So tl;dr: let the idiots remove themselves from the gene pool and give us some sweetly flowing traffic! |

A couple minutes every day adds up,For pedestrians too. The fundamental problem is that the transportation system is skewed in favor of motorists. and think about this: cars aren't out there seeking out pedestrians to mow down - No, they're just out there being careless and unsafe. the pedestrians who get hit are usually breaking traffic laws (jaywalking or crossing at a red light). So because people are too stupid to look both ways before crossing the street, we need to slow down traffic? (1) Proff? (2) "Get After the Chauffeurs." And the mitigation strategies inconvenience pedestrians too. Of course they do, because real mitigation strategies would inconvenience motorists and not pedestrians, but that's not politically acceptable. See above as to the skewing of the transportation system in motorists' favor. So tl;dr: let the idiots remove themselves from the gene pool and give us some sweetly flowing traffic!
