They need to give it up, just begin bus rapid transit on 2nd and 1st aves. What is bus rapid transit? It's buses run at subway headways. All you need is a paint brush to create the bus lanes, meter maids to hand out tickets and tow trucks to tow cars and some more buses and bus drivers.It's absurd to build a new subway into an area of already dense luxury housing. This city needs more affordable housing within reasonable commuting time to manhattan. That means more heavy rail into under developed areas like glendale, middle village, ridgewood, and maspeth, to jamaica and parts of eastern queens. That's how the upper east side got to be the upper east side in the first place. Proximity to the lex. Those rich masters of the universe a-holes are taking black cars and express buses to work anyway. Bus rapid transit is the way to go. Heavy rail to outlying areas. I know this is a rail oriented group, but that's how I feel. |
