That suggests that Kenmare, West Houston and the others are redundant and generate more traffic than they reduce.<BR/><BR/>The main thing I take away from this is that the DOT's opposition to a bike lane on Houston was wrong, and they should install a two-way cycle track there to improve traffic on other streets.Cap'n Transithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057887736728828646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-53708082316365137842008-11-12T18:12:00.000-05:002008-11-12T18:12:00.000-05:00ugh, I'm getting a stomach ache just thinking abou...ugh, I'm getting a stomach ache just thinking about this scenario. I believe light patterns, and the measure of all destinations need to be accounted for. kenmare and Delancey run really well in both directions despite their congestion, because the traffic lights have a good timing. Houston street runs well in the west directions. I think research should show that congestion exists where ever motorists believe their shortest distances combined with fastest travel times exist. sometimes despite extensive congestion, traffic actually flows efficiently.<BR/><BR/>But I do agree that something needs to be done to minimize traffic density and encourage a better space to live in.NYC taxi photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675924502053024145noreply@blogger.com
