Thank you for your response Stan.  I can see your point yet the whole fiasco was predicated....in fact "sold" as a way to address the horrendous traffic situation for West Side commuters.  As the City admits in their EIS that it will only have a 2% impact on traffic (not sure if this is valid considering all their other statements that haven't been true) and that the Mayor states he doesn't know how much this will cost...........why go through all the "shibai" and tell the people how great it will be with respect to traffic improvement.  I still remember the commercial where "Aunty" said it will be powered by the sun!  THAT is deception bordering on fraud!  Appreciate your comment.
