Do you live in Brooklyn? =A0Because if you did you would know flatly =
that

this is not true. =A0The route to the Brooklyn Bridge from Times Square

is right down Broadway. =A0It 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, =A0and 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. =A0And 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. =A0the problem isn't space, its that they

don't MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
