One thing, believe it or not, the actual L train service (the frequent suspension of service on weekends is not defensible) has generally become better. It’s just been overwhelmed by the dramatic increase in the Brooklyn population that the L train services.Crazy Eddienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-20230205056168460472012-05-24T13:10:38.007-04:002012-05-24T13:10:38.007-04:00Like the short; hate the intersection!Like the short; hate the intersection!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-6992916390877784312012-05-24T11:01:04.064-04:002012-05-24T11:01:04.064-04:00And you can thank your transportation czar Kahn fo...And you can thank your transportation czar Kahn for making our streets even more treacherous by choking the avenues and forcing drivers to constantly jockey for position instead of being able to travel safely in ONE lane. Add to that the restrictions of turning traffic from the cross streets and you have intersections that are overloaded where vehicles are actually permitted to turn.<br /><br />I don't have a solution except to offer that NYC worked just fucking fine before this asshole of a mayor decided that he knew what was best for everyone. There is hardly anything that has been done that's improved NYC transportation, save for the Select Bus service. And I'd love to see an intelligent approach to integrating bike and car travel without these ridiculous solutions that essentially equally endanger the safety of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, all at once.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-63589435449210768092012-05-24T10:15:20.506-04:002012-05-24T10:15:20.506-04:00I got hit by a cab at this intersection!

Like that awesome plant-filled apartment above the McDonald's, which you can gaze at while waiting for the M14. Or the awesome kids who spill out of Immaculate Conception. Or the always present, yet ever-changing lone crustie who sets up camp by the southside bus shelter. Anyway, the personality is being quickly ruined by developers. You just know that one-story spot where Papaya Dog is will be a shitty high-rise soon.<br /><br />That left turn for autos from east 14th onto north 1st is deadly, though. Half of the pedestrians don't give a fuck, the other half (like myself) stay glued to the corner until the walk signals shows, and even then I'm convinced I'll get run over one of these days.LvVnoreply@blogger.com
