Official Report Sees Downtown Traffic Nightmare
From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, notes from the Downtown Brooklyn Transportation Blueprint (DBTB)'s "Technical Memorandum":
“If future employees in projected office developments commute by auto at rates near existing rates, existing travel levels combined with future vehicular demand would not be accomodated on the existing roadway network.”“If existing through traffic follows current patterns of using the downtown network, these additional trips will push demand well beyond available capacity at major intersections such as Flatbush-Tillary, Adams-Tillary, and Flatbush-Atlantic Avenues.”
The memorandum contains a lot more of the same, and some traffic consultants suspect that this frightening memorandum might even be understated.
