Just drove there… There was a cop sitting next to the building at Delaware Park. Was gone when I passed in the other direction. Weird to go so slow… It should not be a 30 after Elmwood exits (going west). Makes no sense.
:word:
I was doing about 40 and people were coming up FAST behind me.
Fuck 30 mph. It’s stupid.
at 7am this morning, there were 3 BPD cars parked in the left lane of the 198 heading to the 33. the 3 officers were standing in the lane just chatting away
In reference to the kid who died:
The Scajaquada Expressway – finally, mercifully – is dead. It took a 3-year-old boy to kill it…
You can’t call Maksym a martyr. He was too young to understand what a cause is, much less to die for one…
Well, you kinda just did…
And then there is this:
I knew that was going to be Esmonde before I clicked on the link. Ugh.
I guess no one can die getting hit at 30mph…
The guardrails should have been the immediate and only necessary action.
But we are now in a society of over reactions and “freak” events are somehow expected to be the constant and we must defend against them will all of our ability. Amazing how fast funding and approvals can happen in certain circumstances.
This just got used to push an agenda to move the express way to a parkway.
If you framed the debate as hey we think its good for Buffalo you would get more push back…
Now you say do you want more kids to die and its hard to argue with that.
Politics 101. Never let a good tragedy go to waste.
I get it…I just dont like when logic loses to spin
Yeah, I’m not agreeing with it either, but that’s clearly what happened here.
Have you been living under a rock?
Cuomo now to ban food & ice cream trucks:
No, it is why I am not a fan of the way in which the world works and can never find satisfaction with the way things are addressed or justified.
The shift in this has been coming for years but social media kicked it in to overdrive.
The former court of public opinion used to be a newspaper or news anchor. Now its “everyone”
Ya its the mob mentality. We had people who only shared ideas that read main media over dinner and allowed people to discuss with different groups of friends of varying options which allowed people to have opinions but not as extreme. Now we have social media where people are friends and all share the same beliefs which makes people more into their idea even if it is dumb and unfounded (ie. anti vaxers) and spread this garbage as they all become extremists in their own ways based on the interests of their social groups.
As someone who cycles a bit, this makes me say Ugggggggg. Riding IN the road is dumb.
I hope someone plows them all down and they change the speed back to 50 for everyone safety
traffic was back to 55 or so this morning about 7am, almost felt normal
Many road cyclists are like dog many dog owners, they are intentionally oblivious to rest of the world.
Seriously get off the Scajaquada and go do some hills you pussies!!!
