I'm kinda curious about this one... I mean, it's not like they're gonna just throw caution out the window or anything . But at the same time, if it can help reduce commute times and make life easier for people who live in Staten Island, that's a win-win. The thing is, I think Councilmember Morano's got some valid points about how traffic dynamics and pedestrian activity are different on this island compared to other parts of NYC. Like, what do you guys think? Should we be open to adjusting the rules at certain intersections if it'll make a real difference in people's daily lives?
I'm kinda curious about this 'right on red' ban thingy... I mean, it's not all bad, right? The fact that the councilmember is proposing a study shows they're willing to listen to concerns and find solutions that work for everyone. Plus, who doesn't hate waiting at red lights, right? It could be worth exploring ways to make turning right at reds safer, especially if it means less time wasted on the commute.
I'm not sure about the schoolkids thing though... I guess it's a valid concern, but can't we find ways to improve safety for everyone? Maybe some kinda smart traffic management system or infrastructure design could help minimize the risks?
It's interesting that there are different opinions on this – sometimes it feels like progress is all about finding common ground. Who knows, maybe one day Staten Island will have some of the most efficient and safest traffic in the city!
omg u guys this right on red ban thing its soooo controversial idk why ppl are makin it so complicated lol councilmember morano just wants 2 help reduce commutes & all but theres also valid points about pedestrian safety
like i get where the parents of schoolkids r worried about hundreds of kids floodin the sidewalks every mornin but isnt there already a system in place 4 them 2 get 2 school n from school? councilmember morano wants 2 study it & see if its possible 2 make it safer 4 everyone
anywayz i think morano's proposal sounds legit his just tryna do what's best 4 staten island & not just follow the status quo
