TZB has little to do with the area I'm talking about. Vehicles forced to use the Gowanus/BQE and the LIE west of the Van Wyck will see little if any benefit from the new TZB, but would be benefited greatly by a route I previously mentioned (Bay Ridge/Linden Blvd). I'm shocked that I'm here promoting a highway, but I've gotten old enough to realize that as the population grows, ALL of the options must grow with it. To say only transit should grow and highways shouldn't exist is childish. I'm not here saying to pave the city over, to turn all transit corridors into highways. I'm dying to see a proper city wide bike lane network (There's no reason bike lanes can't exist under the elevated portions of the BQE and Gowanus) and widely expanded mass transit of all reasonable types, but I've matured enough to realize that the need for more highway space has also come as part of the city and regions massive growth. |
