Do you drive? Serious question.

so this is where spider-man fought against doctor connors.

Da.

The USSR, where "comrade" was a relevant term, has been gone for over 30 years. That's three full decades. Are you done embarassing yourself?

Welcome comrade. Putin will be pleased.

I don't know how big the intersection between /r/nyc and /r/progressionfantasy is but yeah that was my first thought too.

Is that how you make yourself feel better about your prejudice and hypocrisy?

Russian is a race? You’re hilarious.

That's racist and ignorant.

What is it?

Nobody complains in Moscow because they don’t want to end up accidentally falling out of a window.

They still use the centuries old signal system hence why it breaks down frequently.

Seems like they get their share of the profits and they get bought out when they leave

If you're going to do such a project you need to do two things: First, do it as quickly as possible, most opposition comes from people mad that their park will be closed for at least three years. Spend the money to do it more quickly. Second, improve the park in terms of features. If you can show a relatively short time scale and shiny pictures of some neat new features of the park, people will smile and go along with it.

The utter obtuseness of officials who don't understand these two things is a major reason why nothing gets done. This is basic customer service - minimize the interruption and give the customer something for their trouble.

The basic idea can be extended to all city develoment - consider transit planning. You want to build a new subway line you need to build it as quickly as possible and you need to deliver an experience that people really enjoy. Moscow recently demonstrated this, you can look up videos of their new "circle line" on Youtube. They prioritized speed of construction and they built interesting, beautiful stations that make people excited to visit. There are no complaints. For building developments, just make the new building not ugly. Seattle succesfully sped up their development process by removing a host of interruptions in exchange for giving local committees design oversight. It turns out people just wanted things done quickly and to not have to look at some ugly piece of shit forever once it was done.

Or you can take the Major Deegan to get back on 95.

Closing off all local ramps would hamper deliveries (like to the industrial park right next to the Cross Bronx).

Local ramps could be changed to truck only or the Cross Bronx could be made truck only and two lanes could be converted for BRT for the Q44.

cap it, only allow trucks and thru traffic, reduce it to two lanes, extend the C line from 168 st station along the sides of the highway, build dense housing and parks on top

The easiest way to do this would be to merge the B57 with the Q33 since the B57 would already be going to Jackson Heights. Then you get a one seat ride from Downtown Brooklyn to LGA.

Since the MTA is currently redesigning the Brooklyn network I'd recommend you post a comment on their Brooklyn bus redesign map since they're accepting comments now.

For bus operators to hit 45-55mph on bus lanes, they'd have to be grade separated like the Orange or Silver Line in LA. Which means for NY they'd have to be elevated. For some of the bus lines, would probably be better to convert them into els at that point.
