And doesn't his posturing about "breakthrough" "thinking outside the box" "brilliance" really suit his massive ego?<br /><br />OK, now that the L train is NOT going to be shut down, please straighten out the bus stops on 14th Street (where 5th Avenue is no longer a stop). And for heaven's sake, get the damned bike lanes off of 12th and 13th Streets (and also remove the speed bumpers at corners, and those sideshow-worthy "knock-em-over" plastic wands sticking up every few feet).<br /><br />What a fucking ugly mess they've made (and we don't know how much they've spent on the bike lanes, the bumpers, the paint, the bus stop changes, etc. - but you can bet it's a ton of money)! How much will it cost to un-paint all those lanes, to remove all the SBS "buy-your-receipt-here before you board" machines from sidewalks, etc.? Somebody made a ton of money on this, didn't they?! And now will make money undoing it.<br /><br />And how much time & energy were wasted holding meetings, "listening tours" and other stuff that was just many citizens' time down the drain? The MTA would be a complete laughing stock if not for the fact that they waste such an incredible amount of time & money.<br /><br />Now what we NEED is for Cuomo and De Blasio to STOP FUCKING AROUND with pre-existing traffic patterns in NYC, remove bike lanes on 12th and 13th Streets (which we were *assured* were "temporary"- so, are they, or was this just another Trojan Horse bit of bullshit?), remove newly-painted SBS bus lanes and the many other incomprehensible painted lane markings on 14th St, and let people get from point A to point B the way they've been doing until about 2 months ago.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-29328857131548482132019-01-03T17:09:01.785-05:002019-01-03T17:09:01.785-05:00I sure hope this does not mean the end to the bike...I sure hope this does not mean the end to the bike lanes on 12th & 13th. The change in traffic flow has improved the quality of like on my block in these ways. 90% cars horns - there is always room to go around a car or truck blocking traffic, clean streets = probably a combination of trash not getting stuck under car wheels and mostly people (non-residents) emptying there car trash into the gutters (yes I've seen this happen for years). Open visibility = walk out onto the sidewalk and there is space that has not been available sine the invention of cars. Sorry car owners you've gotten free parking for a long time, I never owned a car and never could take advantage of this space now I and others finally can. noble neolanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721532867336440260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-76209800914038514652019-01-03T16:23:33.372-05:002019-01-03T16:23:33.372-05:00The Europeans are f-a-r ahead of us in new constru...The Europeans are f-a-r ahead of us in new construction techniques.
