Actually it is was pretty good. People on it were really gassed up tho

I was on the inaugural ride. By accident. I was taking my baby to the doctors office (he’s fine). I didn’t think the train was so great

Apparently the city planners didn’t want people to have free fruit so they only planted male trees, hence twice as much pollen as necessary.

Yes. The embarcadero is a nicer road than queens blvd. Queens blvd was built intentionally too narrow to allow the eventual addition of light rail. Basically, they chose drivers slight convenience over transit users large inconvenience. The it only takes that train on the embarcadero 15 minutes to cover the entire length.

As for the tunnels: No! Since humans require fresh air and sunlight, if there are gonna be tunnels leave them for the machines

Queens blvd. and several similar roads (Linden blvd, kings highway, etc) were proposed to be built around light rail however Robert Moses opted to design them so that public transit could NEVER be added. This design only served wealthier single family suburbanites who would then drive their cars everywhere, creating more traffic. So it’s not really what queens blvd was but more what it could have been.

Also pedestrian bridges are hugely inconvenient and tunnels always become disgusting/dangerous.

Queen’s boulevard has been ruined by cars just as much as 8th Avenue

Well I feel like you live in Ronkonkoma and are mad you can’t park your F-350. Just take the LIRR my friend

Sure but again the same is true of cars that not many times more so. Additionally if our infrastructure was more bike-centric pedestrians would know where to look out for cyclists

Sure but what’s the fatality rate? 0.01%?

I feel like you’re mad about an argument no one is making

That’s a dumb argument because an asshole driver can kill you whereas an asshole bicyclist can knock you down
