If this Administration and DOT were really interested in making traffic flow smoothly in Manhattan they would have never made the mess they have created on Broadway below Houston Street. Broadway is now a one lane road and at times traffic comes to a complete halt because of left turning cars and the pedestrians The only benefit to this arrangement is the tourist bus can move freely.I also understand there is a proposal(DOT) on the table to make Prince Street a Pedestrian Mall This will create Grid Lock in Soho with the on going problems with the Holland Tunnel this idea will become a major traffic nightmare Do these DOT guys ever ride around in a car ? Some very easy solutions would be to enforce the double parking laws and have some type of Task Force that would see how construction is affecting traffic on both sides of the rivers and more parking so cars aren't driving around in circles looking for a space
