[RP TownTalk] traffic

[Lou King]

I feel your pain. And  I admit to using Taylor or 49th, Ravenswood and 
Lafayette to get from E-W Hwy to Queensbury. I do this for the obvious 
reason of avoiding the back ups at Rt1 and E-W Hwy that sometimes extend 
to 49th. By contrast I seldom see an other car on Ravenswood when I'm in 
your neighborhood vis the traffic on Queensbury or Riverdale.

Now that Queensbury Rd will be blocked (west bound) in front of the 
firehouse, Ravenswood and Lafayette may become more attractive to 
additional drivers.  Personally I'm betting on CSX.  This summer they 
have "improved" the speed bump between Lafayette and Rhode Island at 
Queensbury Rd.

With tung-in-cheek (but not to far) I sometimes consider the 
effectiveness of large caliber weapons to get out of my driveway when 
the traffic is backed up at the light at Rt 1 or for the the tracks.  
Don't even get me started about the late-night BOOM-BOOM car radios that 
drive by by house!  (True sign of an old geezer - complaining about the 
young.)

Alas, Sue is correct, "There's probably no way we can realistically 
block off the whole town to anything but local traffic, but it sure 
would be nice, wouldn't it?"
