[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Rosemary's Bistro streetery is awful looking and it's a hazard, especially close to intersections where lots of kids are walking to public schools. I pass it multiple times a day and never see anyone eating there. Why does a private business get to take public space for free?[/quote]

Okay, HTF is the streetery a hazard to kids walking?  That's some serious creative shit right that.  Please, or lordy, oh lordy please, let's remove the BIG GIANT FKING BARRIER that's blocking a lane and making a street shorter for pedestrians to cross so that instead MD drivers in their land yachts can have full speed ahead in all lanes!

Because that's the intersection with Nebraska, where the buses meet, and hundreds of kids cross that intersection on their way to and from Deal and Jackson-Reed.

It is the most dangerous intersection on Connecticut in terms of accidents.  It is the most congested intersection on Connecticut in terms of volume.  And it is most heavily used pedestrian intersection.[/quote]

Right and so ... say it with me.. having fewer travel lanes makes crossing an intersection safer than having more travel lanes....[/quote]

Lol, you've never seen that intersection at rush hour.  Because of all the traffic turning onto the two roads it's a giant cluster that is greatly exacerbated by the closed lane.  It's pretty much in the worst place possible as far as safety is concerned.

Say it with me... increasing congestion on an already highly congested road makes everyone less safe.[/quote]

No, that is precisely how it DOESN'T WORK.  Congestion = slower traffic.[/quote]
