I'm not talking about running a subway along the HBLR. I'm talking about a transfer station that will connect HBLR to the 7 extension. |

Maybe not, though. Air travel already made its own deal with the devil to ensure security. I'm glad rail travelers don't have to suffer the TSA even if they do get stranded by events like the Marathon bombing. |

another kind of transit comes online -- and takes out 100s of parking spaces along with it:
Time to roll! Memorial Day bike-share debut By DAVID SEIFMAN, City Hall Bureau Chief Last Updated: 2:15 AM, May 7, 2013 The secret is out — the city’s long-awaited bike- share program is going to start on Memorial Day weekend. The Department of Transportation has been cagey about the Citi Bike launch date ever since plans for two earlier starts fell through, once because of software problems and another when Hurricane Sandy flooded the Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse where the bikes and docking stations were being stored. This time, it looks like the go signal is for real. “That’s the date they’ve been shooting for,” said one source. The rollout is being timed for the long holiday weekend because, with so many cars out of town, reduced traffic will let new bikers get used to city streets. The city is expecting thousands of two-wheelers to hit the road. In the first two days after the program began accepting members last month, more than 5,000 signed up. The enrollment now tops 7,000. Annual members, who fork over the $95 fee, plus tax, will get first crack at the 6,000-bike fleet parked at 330 locations. In the first phase, bikes will be available in Manhattan below 59th Street and in the Brooklyn neighborhoods closest to Manhattan. A second phase will bring the number of bikes to 10,000 at 600 stations, including areas north of 59th Street in Manhattan and in Queens. But the bike stations installed so far have created a flood of complaints from irate residents and business owners who have found the rent-a-bike racks on their doorsteps. Lawsuits to block the bike stations have been springing up in the Brooklyn and Manhattan neighborhoods where the project is launching. The Post reported yesterday that at least three more suits will be filed against the program this week. A lawsuit was filed last month that demands officials remove the Citi Bike station in front of 99 Bank St. in the West Village. Another six challenges are in the works, said attorneys of clients who found out about the plans only once the racks were installed. About 200 cities have bike-share programs. But New York’s will instantly become one of the largest in the world once it expands to its final size. New York’s program also is off-limits to the obese. On registration forms, new members are told they can’t participate if they weigh more than 260 pounds — although there is no plan to enforce that rule. Unlike several other big city bike-share programs, New York won’t require riders to wear helmets. |
I don't see how these can be challenged. The city controls use of streets. Full stop. Businesses and residents are not entitled to the parking spots directly in front of their front doors. Nor is the loading zone a god given right.
I eagerly await the dismissal of these lawsuits. |
