Re: Anti-car democrats are a road hazard

I don't remember about diverting money from the East Bronx IND to Shore Parkway. But if true, that is still only one subway. Many hospitals and schools were not built because of Moses.

As far as bus fitting on the parkways. They fit under the center lane. But buses would not try to use the road because they did not know that. Didn't know he stopped the Staten Island tunnel.

And as I said, there wasn't money left for a lot of other projects besides transit projects.

But would we have been better off with boulevards instead if the many highways he built? I don't think so. You can get from southern Brooklyn to the Bronx, Nassau County or New Jersey in 45 minutes during non-rush hours because of Moses. Without his highways, those would be two hour trips today even with better mass transit.
