Today at work, my friend Ernie and I had a very interesting discussion about the new traffic light they put in on Juniper Valley Road in Middle Village, Queens, NY. It used to be a great road to drive down, since there were no traffic lights or stop signs between 80th Street and Penelope Avenue. Now I understand they are putting in another light at the corner of 79th Drive. Who's responsible for this? I want names.
I hear people talk about air pollution and maker a greener world, well how about eliminiating some of these unncessary traffic lights which cause drivers to sit still with their engines running in perfectly quiet residential neighborhoods. The same city planners destroyed a great route of travel in Cooper Avenue with an onslaught of traffic lights. I've heard Kathy Nolan was responsible, but I will not blame her without proof.
People in a hurry to get from Brooklyn to Forest Hills had a fast way of getting there using Cooper, but now that is destroyed. And people who wanted to avoid the congestion and filthy air quality of Metropolitan and Eliot Avenues used Juniper Valley Rd. are now stymied.Very unfair.
