Do you live in Brooklyn? Because if you did you would know flatly that
this is not true. The route to the Brooklyn Bridge from Times Square
is right down Broadway. It is a stupid, if not insane idea.
As it is they screwed up Times Square because they removed the
7th ave, B'way cross, took away road space, and it immediately
turned part of 6th Avenue into a unused outdoor dining room,
and cost me $14 more a cab ride from 54th Street when they did that
when they did the Times Square Shuffle. And then DOWNTOWN the shaved
lanes off of broadway just for spite.
As for the pedestrians, and I happen to be someone who doesn't own
a car, THEY ARE TOURIST. the problem isn't space, its that they
don't MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
