Brooklyn Traffic
NY Observer, The Politicker
The wonky wing of the Nets opposition, though, makes an interesting case about how much traffic the Ratner project and a host of other developments are going to bring to downtown Brooklyn in a letter to Gifford Miller from consultant Brian Ketcham, obtained by the Politicker, and set to be released later today.
NoLandGrab: The Potlicker ultimately casts aside traffic concerns by stating that "traffic is largely self-regulating -- if there's too much, people take the subway." This is what politicians like Marty Markowitz can only hope for. They won't even be in office to answer for the consequences.
There is a lot of development being planned for Central Brooklyn. To wait for something to break and self regulate is foolish if it can be avoided in the first place. That's like hoping that the economy sucks so that the next President will be a Democrat.
