Disagree. I got knocked by you and your former "spokesman" when I questioned the Riis Park park and ride you suggested. The tune softened when I said about the Neponsit Nursing Home parking lot. Granted, I did not know what the deed says, but still not a poor idea for suggesting, something you said you did not know about. But you fought me till the end like I was an enemy. Considering we never really interacted before, nice lasting impression, so do not tell me about exchanging ideas.

If your planning on saying he wasn't your spokesman, don't bother. Not once did you tell him to back off after I outright called you out over his comments.

Why do you pick and choose which replies to answer? You have been on since I posted that but waited until today. You went for one or two posts mixed amongst a bunch.

And while we are at it, how the hell did a 20+ year old sign in another state wind up in this thread? To me, looked like you tried to show something to attempt saving your own @$$. And from where I am sitting, nice implosion.

DOT comes to the community stating they want to make bus travel faster on Woodhaven as well as to make the street safer. NOT ONCE DID THEY ASK THE COMMUNITY HOW THEY WOULD WANT TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.

You're right; they didn't ask once. They asked multiple times!

May 19, 2008 breakout sessions

April 23, 2014 Public Feedback

June 25, 2014 streetmix exercise, slideshow of all configurations, and stop specific comments and suggestions

November 5, 2014 feedback on Concept 1, Concept 2, Concept 3, and general feedback

April 2015 block by block design workshops

And that's not including community working group meetings.

Instead DOT took the attitude that they are the experts who know everything while those who use the street everyday know nothing.

So who pays to make any needed corrections since the area residents are not traffic engineers?

I was checking out that last link. What do you think of some of the feedback regarding transit services, especially these ideas?

• The Q52/53 should operate as local buses after 11pm.
• Off-board fare payment is desired on local buses as well.
• There are too many different bus routes on Woodhaven Blvd.
• Consider a “Super SBS” with no stops between
Queens Blvd and the Rockaways.
• Request for articulated buses on the corridor.
• Extend north end of Q52 to Woodside or LGA; eliminate Q70.

But anyone can post (I should not have said publish) on blogs.

No one other than you has stated that a plan can refer to existing conditions because it is not true. A plan can be "existing" but it takes effect in the future. It also can be a recurring plan as others pointed out which means it takes effect more than once, but once it takes effect it is no longer considered a "plan". When it takes effect the plan becomes the "existing condition". Are we clear now? I can't explain it any better.

"Letters written by idiots who cannot write and do not understand issues are not published."
Obviously false. You repeatedly demonstrate that such is false.

"But anyone can post (I should not have said publish) on blogs."
Yes, but I see no connection to any point you are making about me. I generally don't post on blogs either.

"No one other than you has stated that a plan can refer to existing conditions because it is not true."
That is blatantly false.
A. It certainly can.
B. Many other people subsequently agreed with me.

"A plan can be "existing" but it takes effect in the future."
No. The plan in effect is existing and takes place in the present.

"It also can be a recurring plan as others pointed out which means it takes effect more than once, but once it takes effect it is no longer considered a "plan"."
When in effect, plans are still plans.

"When it takes effect the plan becomes the "existing condition"."
Which is functionally synonymous with "existing plan"

"Are we clear now?"
Yes, but other than yourself, we have never not been clear.

"I can't explain it any better."
You could, if you were willing to learn something and correct yourself.

I never realized I was knocking you down.

In fact, I appreciated most of your comments. I was not the one who called your Neponsit parking lot idea a bad one. In fact I stated the contrary. I said it may be a better idea than my Riis Park idea since you wouldn't have to deal with the federal bureaucracy.

Someone else brought up something about the deed. It wasn't me. I never fought you on that issue.

As far as the person you referred to, yes he was defending me so why should I have feuded with him?

Also, I did not pick and choose which posts to reply to. The fact is that during the last month until this week I have been spending much less time on this site. For two weeks I was off completely. Then when I got back on, I only had time to make to or three posts at a time because I just didn't have time to answer the 45 replies I would see, 30 of them being from Terrapin and another 12 from R 30A. Maybe I should just ignore both of them and reply only to people like you who really are interested in having legitimate discussions.

I brought up the point about the 20 year old sign not mentioning it was 20 years old after someone made a comment that there is no problem with signage and it is unimportant anyway since practically everyone has GPS. So I first mentioned the sign in Atlantic City where I was at the time claiming "entrance" would have been clearer than "exit".

When a bunch of people started insisting exit was the proper word I wanted to think of another example of confusing signage. It really didn't matter that the issue may have been resolved by now or the sign was 20 years old, because it was the idea that was important so I mentioned the 14 St Bridge sign in DC. That there should have been an indication that making that turn takes you into Virginia (like 14th Street Bridge Only) and it's like a two mile detour to get back.

In fact the same thing happened to me a few years ago in Albany. There was no indication that making a turn sent you out of Albany into the next city.

So when I was asked when I saw that sign in Washington and readers dismissed it because it was 20 years ago, I brought up the next example regarding a current sign pointing you to the Marine Air Terminal when in fact following that sign also takes you to the rest of LGA, the Grand Central and Astoria Blvd which are more important destinations than the Marine Air Terminal which few use anyway.

The point still is that transportation agencies are far from perfect in signage with many unclear and confusing signage that can cause last minute decisions and accidents. A few made the point that local road signage is the worst. I would agree with that. I also stated I found interstate signage on the west coast to be much clearer than on the northeastern seaboard.

The reason the conversation drifted so much from Woodhaven Blvd is some here believe they must contradict everything I post particularly Terrapin and R30A.

Possible I am bitter due to him, I will reexamine the issue. I know the last guy that tried to defend me and made it worse, didn't like me after his "help".

I never realized I was knocking you down.

In fact, I appreciated most of your comments. I was not the one who called your Neponsit parking lot idea a bad one. In fact I stated the contrary. I said it may be a better idea than my Riis Park idea since you wouldn't have to deal with the federal bureaucracy.


Again, I might have you two commingled. That would be my error.

There was no issue to the deed comments, I didn't know about it. I remember when the city cleared that place out in a few hours and last I knew it sits empty. Yes you absolutely did say a good idea. I still wouldn't remove a parking spot from the Riis though. Summers are getting hotter, and the beach is cheap entertainment.

The point still is that transportation agencies are far from perfect in signage with many unclear and confusing signage that can cause last minute decisions and accidents.

Maybe, but i will almost call BS. People are far from the drivers they think they are. The accidents happen when someone realizes their error and tries to correct it without knowing what is around them. So that moron who missed their exit by 30 feet and decides to back up on the shoulder of the L.I.E., well lets just say I am not compassionate if they get hit. I do feel for the other people involved.

I am not here to prove you are always wrong. I could have posted that the MTA was wrong in the 34th Street elevator blog post and you were right. But I found out by facts and the ADA law that you were not correct. It happens that I disagreed with you on a lot of things because your facts are incorrect or you take things out of proportion - - a 150 feet long walk from Avenue Z to the Sheepshead Bay subway station is anything by long by your standards. It's an additional 45 seconds.

It is also evident that I have corrected you on quite a few occasions and at the same time, I agreed you on a few.

As one who reports on the Woodhaven Blvd SBS+ proposals, I am surprised for you to post a street (Woodhaven Blvd) which does extend into Howard Beach/Lindenwood. As a former public transportation planner, you should have an encyclopedic knowledge of NY streets. As one who posts that 20 of the 26 intersections should never have left turns banned on Woodhaven, I asked which engineer said that. You didn't answer (maybe I missed it) - - but an engineer makes the recommendation on that statement, not a city planner. An engineer performs studies and prepares reports while a planner, utilizes the engineering reports to plan streets based on the P.E. recommendations. The traffic flow is determined by civil engineering practices, not transportation planner practices.


I am neither a planner, nor an engineer - - and I have an immense knowledge of NYC streets (and now, most of the main streets within lower Westchester County) - - I have been reading maps almost all my life and I know what is correct and what is wrong.

You focus is taking your responses as constructive criticism - - not I am right and everyone else is wrong. Perhaps others who respond are wrong too but at the end of the day, your news stories are more anti SBS+ rather than suggesting alternate ideas. Granted, the MTA will not listen to them anyway because they are in lots of ways like you - - it's our plan and we don't offer to implement any solutions from anyone else.

You are free to do that. In fact, you probably should, since you only make yourself look worse when you respond since you keep being wrong. Of course it will also look bad for you if you ignore someone who knows more than you and is trying to correct you. So you're screwed no matter what you do.

I agree that many drivers think they are better drivers than they are and that there are plenty of morons out there. I usually see at least one every day. But they put the good drivers in jeopardy.

For example, the reason I stated that there needs to be adequate advance notice for left turn only lanes is that often when they suddenly appear and you find yourself in one when you need to go straight, drivers in the through lane won't let you switch because they want to make the signal. If you wait for say three cars to pass before someone lets you in, the cars in vbaxk of you who want to turn left start honing their horn. I will just ignore them. But an inexperienced driver might become intimidated and may try to force his way out of the lane and BOOM you have an accident.

If there were no bad drivers, it wouldn't matter if there is no advance notice. You would just get out of the lane when you want to switch. Since that is not the case, there needs to be signs one block in advance that the lane will become a left turn only lane.

All that said, I still believe that the vast majority of drivers are responsible. So when someone tries to portray drivers as murderers looking for an opportunity to mow down their next pedestrian, it upsets me.

As far as the person you referred to, yes he was defending me so why should I have feuded with him?
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because he was a giant asshole who made you look very very bad, and if you can believe it, he made you look much much worse than you already looked due to your own doing! That fact that you can't see that is unbelievable. I would never want someone defending me who acts in a manner I find significantly negative. The fact that you'll pretty much take any help you can get just goes to show how desperate you are. Practically NO ONE here supports you in any way, shape, or form.

Letters written by idiots who cannot write and do not understand issues are not published.
omg wrong! Yes such people certainly do have their letters published! All the time! Do you read? Anything?



No one other than you has stated that a plan can refer to existing conditions because it is not true.
Wrong. False. LIAR! I told you that a plan can refer to existing conditions. And it can! Because it is true. You have got to be the worst planner I have ever had the displeasure of being aware of. Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you shoot right past the goal line.


It also can be a recurring plan as others pointed out which means it takes effect more than once, but once it takes effect it is no longer considered a "plan".
It's like I'm talking to an F'ing wall! I TOLD YOU THAT ONCE THE PLAN TAKES EFFECT IT IS STILL A PLAN! "NYCT WINTER WEATHER PLAN 4 IS IN EFFECT" IS A VALID SENTENCE AND FACTUAL OCCURRENCE.

I have no problem with anyone pointing out I am incorrect if they give a valid reason and are correct themselves.
Wrong, you do have a problem. Take for example when I told you that you're wrong, a plan can be existing conditions, and I gave you a perfectly valid example. You had a major problem with that! So much so that you ignored me and continued to insist that plans can not be existing conditions.

Most times that is not the case however.
Wrong. You are a huge liar! I would say greater than 98% of the people who tell you that you are wrong are correct in their assessment.

Your usual nonsense reply.
No, my usual correct reply.

Stop wasting everybody's time with your nonsense posts.
I'm not wasting anyone's time except my own.

If you claim someone is wrong, you need to make a convincing case not merely state I have already explained why when that isn't true.
Correct! When I say you're wrong and state that I have already explained why, it's because IT IS TRUE THAT I HAVE ALREADY EXPLAINED WHY. Understand now?

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.

No, you are wrong. A plan, like NYCT Winter Weather Plan 4, is the existing conditions during such time that NYCT Winter Weather Plan 4 is in effect! So YOU are the one who is WRONG.

That is not contradictory to what I stated.

R30A was saying something else that "existing conditions" is a "plan." That is what I was disagreeing with.

LIES.

I am not going to waste my time looking up who stated signs are unimportant because everyone now has GPS.
Right, because you'd find no one intelligent saying that, just like I said was the case!!!! You make claims you can't back up so then you try to weasel out of them just like what you're doing right now.

EARTH TO BROOKLYNBUS, YOU ARE WRONG. TODAY. YESTERDAY. FOUR YEARS AGO. 10 YEARS FROM NOW. ALMOST ALWAYS!
