NYC was an empty wasteland at the turn of the last century, and Rapid transit helped fill up the open spaces that existed then. Today's situation is vastly different. NIMBY's look at their own situation, and their rights should be respected, just as your rights should be respected. Most here criticize Robert Moses for what he accomplished, and did not allow to be accomplished. However how would you like an elevated express highway built right next to your suburban house. This assumes that you live in a multi story apartment building in a dense environment. Even better, a Cross-Bronx Expressway next to your apartment window, if such. So its all relative. I don't care for development at the taxpayers expense. The little traffic that potentially be carried by an IBX would not justify its construction in the technical manner proposed. As stated, a bus-way would be more beneficial, and not have the impact of a rail line that is essentially a Brooklyn-Queens Shuttle line. |
