More people using bike lanes have lead to increased bicycle fatalities.City's response is to institute additional crosstown bike lanes. This will further increase traffic congestion. Meanwhile no improvements are being made to subways and buses to give these drivers an alternative otter than to use bikes which is not feasible for most. The Times showed how the MTA is wasting tons of money. The MTA is Cuomo's responsibility. The sensible thing to do is to address the problems raised by the Times. So Cuomo continues to ignore the New York Tines investigation. Instead: Cuomo's response: Charge drivers more to drive in Manhattan and to increase the cost to use ride sharing apps. The goal is to reduce the traffic congestion that the city is causing (Today there are fewer cars in midtown than there were a few years ago, but congestion is worse.) He chooses to unfairly punish the victims and let subway construction costs to soar higher than they are already. So much of the new funding raised will be wasted with few improvements to be seen. There must be no talk of any congestion pricing until subway construction costs are under control so that it is not three times as expensive to build a mile of subway here than it costs in Paris. If this is how Cuomo "attacks" problems in NY by missing them entirely, just imagine him as President. |
