Whether we like it or not, autos and trucks are still a big thing today and always will be until we can get the flying vehicles the Jetsons had. (or better mass transit and freight rail) I am glad Jane Jacobs and others helped stop LOMEX and other similiar abominations. One was the Brookyn-Battery Bridge over Governors Island which would have destroyed historic Fort Jay. I think the Federal Govt stopped him from that one and we got the essential Tunnel instead.Unfortunately today, we get halfass projects like a two track SAS that will take 20 years to build, no new trunk lines in the outer boroughs because of overt fear of NIMBYs even when their concerns are exagerrated or can be mitigated with modern technology and elitist traffic proposals like Congestion Pricing that would screw working people and small businesses. When will we get a Bob Moses of mass transit? Mr. Sander, I hope you read Subchat. |
