There are certainly areas to place more highways in NYC or convert existing roads into grade separated highways. You could deck over the Bay Ridge branch, the center lanes of Linden Blvd east of Kings Hwy can be elevated all the way to the Conduit. That right there could get trucks bound for LI off the Gowanus/BQE. You could build an elevated highway down the median of the Conduit from Linden Blvd to Atlantic Av, and an elevated highway over Atlantic Av from East New York all the way to the Van Wyck. Same goes for a large portion of Kings Hwy, Ocean Pkwy, Queens Blvd. I'm not necessarily saying all/any of these should be done or that they'd be easy, I'm just pointing it out. |
