I live at the corner of Broadway and Broome. Broome St is a connector street from the Williamsburg Bridge to the Holland Tunnel. Every day at rush hour and many times over the weekend traffic is 100% gridlock. This means a traffic cop is needed (costly) and ambulances / fire trucks have a very hard time getting through. As Broome St locks up, Broadway does as well - causing mayhem for hours at a time. Plus as Soho is nearly 100% retail stores - there is huge foot traffic further competing for limited surface space.

I FULLY support the Move NY plan and this new bill and very much hope it gets enacted. The explicit benefits are clear - and there are actually many more tangential benefits as well (e.g. an ambulance getting to a hospital faster to save a life).

Thank you.

NYC Congestion | Closed Proposal

I support everything about the Move NY plan and its many logical ideas proposed. I am also very concerned about noise. I live on Broome St - which is a direct route from the Williamsburg Bridge to the Holland Tunnel. Frequently this street is over capacity and gridlock occurs. Nearly every driver will honk their horn to no avail. The only current solution is the presence of a traffic cop at my intersection (Broadway). It can be unbelievably loud - it's really quite terrible. I hope and pray the Move NY plan brings congestion relief so traffic can start moving and drivers stop causing gridlock - and honking.
