They are anti-automobile. PERIOD. And do whatever they can to make it more and more difficult to drive the remaining few middle class people out of this city.If it wasn't for my wife, I'd be long gone. |

There are almost no left turns on that stretch as it is. At many corners you must dogleg to one of the numbered avenues in the right and then make the next left.I’m always amazed by the supposed transit advocates on this site who support cars over buses every time. |

Not only that but many of the alternatives have been eliminated. Under hill is no longer through. Two lanes eliminated from Vanderbilt and it is closed on weekends. Fourth Ave had two lanes removed. They want to remove two lanes from Atlantic.They are ensuring gridlock, because if there is a delay or accident, there is almost no way to get off the street. And they lie like hell. Heard on Channel 7 this morning that Flatbush Ave has 12 bus routes in it. There is only one real route, the B41. The B67 runs about every half hour and the B69, B45, B63 and B37 are on it for only one block. Even if you count the four routes near Kings Plaza which has nothing to do with the bus lane, you still get only ten routes. |

It’s 8-10 minutes for two hours in the AM rush, but every 15 minutes for the PM rush (12 buses between 4 and 7 at irregular intervals) averaging to 15 minutes. That is still not much service. |

This is, I believe, one manner at which to generate additional vehicular grid lock to justify expanding a congestion relief zone into downtown Brooklyn. Vehicle tolls to surely follow.It's only a matter of time when congestion tolling spreads to other parts of New York City outside of Manhattan. NYC wants it both ways. Development to increase that real estate tax base with high density housing, look at downtown Brooklyn along Flatbush Avenue Extension west of Fulton, plus charge for driving on streets regardless that vehicle registration is supposed to go towards roads. Not to forget the reinstatement of a WW 2 Auto Use tax by NYC during the fiscal crisis of 1975 that is still collected. Plus a Metropolitan Commuter District Tax (MCDT) collected on each vehicle registration and operators license where and if one lives in a MTA served county. This is where out of town'er transplants who have migrated to New York over the past thirty years with little college marketable skills complain about high rents, and he affordability of living in New T=York, yet want their $7 to $11 dollar Lattes. Did I digress, yes but if a reader of this post actually lives in New York, they would understand. |
