I wish you would stop being a cheerleader for the City's vision zero changes around Brooklyn. They are destroying the coherency of the community are an attack on the middle class. The changes on Avenue S are a prime example. It will slice up Flatbush Avenue in a critical bus and car zone where every inch of pavement is needed. Aside from the B9, B41, B46, and the B2 using that intersection, that particular roadway conjunction is a vital connection with Madisen HS and Marine Park. Flatbush is difficult traffic problem and reducing the roadway serves to only prevent driving, not fix traffic safety. Synchronizing the lights is the solution here. Very few people walk across that street. Almost everyone drives or takes the bus. If they want to make it safer they should pen in the pedestrians to the corners for crossing, or prevent cross all together at that intersection. Or just do something simple like make an all red stop, but that would mean overriding their precious priority tarrif light control for the SBS B46, which is what is really screwing up that intersection.
Regardless, if you just report what the city says we think without actually knowing what we think, then your reporting lies and misinformation. Nobody wants this transformation of Flatbush Avenue except for fanatics in the DeBlasio administration.
