Freight has to move into Manhattan via truck, but the cost of a $10 toll is nothing for a delivery truck. Sure, there are repair people. But with more tolling and better mass transit reducing demand, this existing highway infrastructure should be MORE than adequate for Manhattan. I would oppose ANY new highway infrastructure other than re-configuring ramps or taking lanes and streets out of general use for dedicated bus lanes or light rail. Turning some city streets into transit malls would also be a good idea, but they would have to have a lane for local truck deliveries and repair people, and of course NYPD/FDNY could use them. |
