I also didn’t have a problem with it, and I think DeBlasio made the right decision.
This is the first time I have ever said that, and it will probably be the last.
DeBlasio is an arrogant commie ass, but in this instance I do not think his action was egregious.
The roads are plowed and mostly clear today, with life in NYC getting back to normal. No more “martial law”.
There might have been days of delays if drivers inexperienced with driving in heavy snow needed to be rescued. Also, emergency vehicles may have been blocked.
Thank you. I am distressed by many things that he and his crazy City Council do. But when we had a problem intersection in my neighborhood, he took charge. There was a bit of overkill, like closing an entire lane of traffic on Broadway so drivers would realize they weren’t supposed to turn left, and that has created some backup and jams at a corner that leads to the West Side Highway and so is difficult anyway.
But his heart was in the right place, same as with this seemingly drastic move.
