I'm trying anyway.

It's actually the typical induced demand scenario. Congestion (demand already there) -> widening -> initial relief -> induced demand -> congestion. Repeat.

BTW we are arguing over something we could never change if the NJTP want to do something they do it.

I brought it to the clinic in case they wanted to send it for testing. They didn't. Said I could if I was curious.

They gave me two large doxycycline pills and said since the tick wasn't on me for 48 hours, the odds of transmission were very low. The doxy was precautionary. Said I could come back in six week for a blood test to see if I had Lyme exposure but in the meantime watch for flu-like symptoms.

I'd definitely recommend them for drinking tea on the spot or to-go, but their loose tea selection leaves a lot to be desired.

I commute from exit 3 to the de bridge. This is a solution to a imagined problem. I have never once sat in congestion traffic north or south during rush hour Only time i hit traffic is getting off exit 3, truck traffic

It was widened down to 6 because of the warehouses and it should be widened due to additional traffic. This is the opposite of induced demand. The demand is already there.

Don't see how this justifies turnpike widening or exempts the turnpike from induced demand.

People are failing to mention that the Empress has a club underneath it that has a pool and is loud as hell into the night.

Don't stay there unless you plan to party late night. It also typically caters to a specific clientele.

The Asbury Hotel and the Ocean Club are the nicest by far.

Check the Pony Schedule. Not all shows are summerstage, usually only the big acts.

St. Laurent is the old Tides Hotel.

There’s also the Tea Store in Montclair, over by Watchung Ave.

My damn eyes. Warehouses were built NOT houses. Com-on this is NJ nothing we do is normal to the rest of the country. We are building infill housing in the north and yes new developments other areas. We have more transit than most areas outside of NJ/NY/CT and people are moving closer to cities not further away.

>> Research. Economics. Experts. The DOT.

> Fuck you. Widen it.

>Do you have research specifically exempting the NJ Turnpike from induced demand?

?

Yes we have a major train line that runs much of it. Plus our region is unique to much of the country.

Fuck you. Widen it.

Do you have research specifically exempting the NJ Turnpike from induced demand? It must be of high enough quality to rule out a causal effect.

Saying "this time is different" doesn't cut it.

That would be true for most highways except the Turnpike which is used as a thru road as it was always designed.

I know about induced demand and the problems of many lanes causing traffic just by being too wide.

No.

Do you mean initially? Relief gone within 5 years. Not a long term solution. Not good planning. Horrible for air quality and the planet.

I just spent mine on a tuck wit straight cash!

Not completely true.

Also the car is pretty heavy and balanced. It’s not like it’s a 78 Camaro. More like a 87 F150 with a bed full of cinder blocks

There's a lot of research on induced traffic demand, the more accessible something is (like a wider road), the more people will be attracted to it. Eventually congestion will return.

I have one. RWD definitely does NOT suck.

It depends on range for NJ rebate. The total incentive amount for an eligible vehicle is $25 per mile of EPA-rated all-electric range, as determined by fueleconomy.gov up to $4,000 for vehicles with a MSRP under $45,000, or up to $2,000 for vehicles with a MSRP between $45,000 and $55,000. Vehicles with an electric range of over 200 miles are eligible for an incentive of up to $4,000, depending on vehicle MSRP.
