If highways were so essential, NYC would have been old news a long time ago. The subway system could be much cleaner and much more attractive and efficent, and perhaps highway funding should go to that. But if the average outer borough resident hops on a bus to the subway to a CBD for work and the city streets are kept clear for commercial vehicles to allow for deliveries and that sort of thing, I fail to see the problem.If we focus on expanding highways, that's money taken away from public transit would means more people inclined to drive, which means more time spent in traffic. If those who insist on driving to the city on weekdays, either because they have their own parking spot or pay for a lot or whatever, want to minimize the traffic they encounter on the way, they should support public transit to keep people there rather than encourage more people to join them on the road. |
