Re: oddball rail transit observations

That's right-- the only project I know that is seriously being considered is tearing down the Sheridan Expressway

The Sheridan is a bit of an interesting case that it's basically being turned into a glorified boulevard with a 30-40 mph speed limit, a traffic light for pedestrian access to a park, and a direct ramp from the Sheridan to Hunts Point area to make access easier to the market from the Cross Bronx. Community groups have been pushing for this blaming the highways for the high asthma rates, while not realizing that much of the truck traffic continues toward eastern Bronx with out the same level of asthma. There aren't legions of kids with asthma in Bayside from I-295's traffic or Pelham with I-95's traffic. It's the terrible shape of the housing stock that's probably infested with mold, IMHO.
