Posted by MR RT on Fri Jul 12 07:59:53 2013, in response to What Really Causes Traffic Congestion, posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Jul 9 12:40:18 2013. "... traffic congestion ... causes ..."- 6 Too many trucks ... agree with that - + 8 Too many cars ! "... how to fix (or not fix) the causes ..." - 1 We could have fewer cars & trucks ... incr. in Mass Transit --- a. Tunnel under Hudson River for freight, fix bridges & tunnels in Bronx so "double stack" RxR cars can make it over Hell Gate Bridge. This will remove a lot of the trucks on the George Washington Bridge & elsewhere in NYC. This must include creation of facilites at Fresh Pond, 65th Street Brooklyn & some spot on Long Island. --- b. do N-O-T expand expressways & parkways, e.g. creating a deck over the LIE will only encourge more cars/traffic into Manhattan. The point here goes with some of your other comments regarding adjustments & expansions to mass transit because NYC has too much cars & truck traffic so the only way to go is to give commuters an insentive to use mass transit vs. making it easier for them to drive to work. |
