Crumbling BQE
« on: January 31, 2020, 10:14:23 AM »
It appears the BQE is falling to pieces.

Hopefully, this is the beginning of the shift from private car culture in NYC. Robert Moses' car-centric vision of NYC coming to its dead end.

Too many people with too many cars...is not feasible in NYC with our highway/roads infrastructure. Simply a fact.

Most other cities in the USA are car friendly. NYC is unique and special. And we simply aren't really built for private cars.

Onwards with improving public transport, bikes and car-sharing culture. The future!

Well it's a shame that our subway system is in such disrepair and there's very few viable ways of expanding the public transportation system short of massively invoking eminent domain in this era of hyper-NIMBYism.
