With the recent closure of the Throgs Neck Bridge, it has become apparent there is a need for other crossings between Queens and the Bronx. I have submitted my suggestions to Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials. These new crossings will not only alleviate traffic nightmares of the future, but provide current employment for so many laid-off workers.
The new Flushing Bay Bridge will get northbound-only drivers swiftly from College Point to Hunts Point, while the Long Island Sound Bridge will merrily have travellers rolling along southbound only from City Island to the manors of Douglaston.
Simultaneously, the triple crown project will include our Nile, the East River, with the completion of the A-Rod Tunnel. Commuters will be singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” as they whisk from Citi Field to Yankee Stadium and back.
Not to omit our Brooklyn neighbors, those residents will rejoice in the planned construction of the Dodger Parkway, connecting the Verrazano-Narrows and Brooklyn bridges so commuters can drive in circles.
