BQE and Cross-Bronx Expressway definitely not. Building highways through cities is extremely damaging and exist only to ferry suburbanites into and out of the city. Moses wanted to build a highway through Greenwich village. That would have been devastating for lower Manhattan. Intra-city Highways destroy the very vibrancy required for them to adapt and change.

Brooklyn Battery Tunnel? That is a good project. Connecting different areas across bodies of water is good.



That’s ideology over common sense. Which suburbanites are being ferried in and out of the city over the BQE?

Hint: what it connects is right there in the name.


Fort Lee, NJ to Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
