On stillwell and Bassett, its 90% car shops. Almost every parked car and especially the double/triple parked cars are body shop /mechanic jobs. ( smashed up, marked for body work) and all the accompanying tow trucks( you know the ones who act like police and drive like dicks breaking laws).

It's also just a small oversight by you of the impact on society of a largely rule less zone of car shops ( they have been dumping tires and toxic waste for years on Bassett) versus a medical school and hospital.

I'm sure the residents of adjoining blocks between eastchester and stillwell love having smashed cars dropped at the curb near their house until shops work them into the schedules. Also the strong smell of toxic paint fumes pumping from some of the body shops and floating around a residential area is an added benefit.

The Morris park spot is a fucking mess of body shops and tow companies who create such a logjam of double, and triple parked cars all day, and not much better at night. Not to mention that area is kind of a back path to hutch and i95 entrances. They need to clean that whole area up before they smack a commuter stop there adding more congestion.

I drive a truck, a garbage one to be exact. I dont need news articles to see and sit in the 20 to 30 extra minutes of traffic because we no longer have 2 lanes in each direction to maneuver around double parked cars and trucks. And with so little space A single driver attempting to park can lock up the only available lane for driving.
The cascade of slowdown from that single event can ruin everyone's evening/morning commute.
There is no longer space for delivery trucks to park and unload, they literally block the entire lane of traffic on these re-imagined roads.
Bronxdale ave in the bronx is an example of how to fuck up a road so 15 people a day can bike around.

The parking is indeed less, and the narrow lanes are a joy for large vehicles. Oh I cant wait for the snow to snarl up these now tiny lanes with one stuck bus.

Bring back the horse carriage!!!! And the horse shit! And the dead horses! RABBLE!

And do it in 20 degree ice and snow. . Wait till a good heavy snow hits and see how well all these bike friendly adaptations work out.

I know right, that dude in a wheelchair needs to get safely to the other side so he can attempt to maneuver around a rubble field of E-scooters and bikes.
