The pols will put up enough resistance to get their beaks wet (or their palms greased) but it's not like there's really a "community" in the vicinity to oppose this. Dead mafioso buried in the tar floor of Maspeth Creek don't count.
Watch out for that Jimmy - he thinks the folks bulldozing Dutch Kills into oblivion are swell fellows.
Look who they hang with, ignore what they say.
The point is that more trucks in West Maspeth means more trucks in the rest of Maspeth. The community is mobilized in opposition. You don't put forward a truck bypass plan and then sneak in a new depot. That's just wrong.
A place to store the Access-a-Ride vehicles? Hhmmn? Mocker, now that's another fish to fry. Access-a-Ride. A friend of mine is blind and can tell you a thing or two about the waste that that program is.
BTW, how come PIX cut short the Mocker-VanBramer interview?
Did I detect an extra twinkle in Jimmy's eye talking to Greg? Maybe the former saw the latter's bravura performance swishing the cape by the Fat Boy?
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Just guessing.
This one's for George.
