So if there was enough traffic to fill 5 lanes, where is it going to go with only 2 lanes?

Oh man what about all the cars that use Broadway! What about all the cars that used to use the (now bike lane) lane on the Brooklyn Bridge! What about all the cars that use all the lanes on 1st Ave, 2nd Ave, 3rd Ave, 5th Ave, 6th Ave, Lexington, Madison! We can’t possibly add bike lanes, bus lanes, and more pedestrian space in exchange for some car lanes! What about all the cars that use the elevated West Side Highway! What about all the cars that drive through Central Park! Obviously once space has been surrendered to cars it can never ever be taken back, that’s unthinkable. (everything mentioned here was not for cars, then given to cars, then taken back)

As long as they don't try to slap more fees onto cars idc what they do with that space. The people using it should be the ones funding it.

Hopefully to park and take public transit or ride a bike. Manhattan should have been closed to private vehicles decades ago
