The disappearance of service has as much to do with poor planning by the local communities as it does with G. Look at how NYS has finally reversed its tune on Long Island, leasing freight rights to a private contractor and setting a $100 million dollar budget for a new intermodal center to be built on the grounds of an old state hospital. Who's going to step up here and provide some kind of coordinated plan for getting long haul freight back on the rails?
Traffic around here is some of the worst in the nation. I commute to a different account everyday, and what I see on 93, 95, 16, 28, 99, 114 etc etc is laughable. It's only going to get worse.
Without any sort of plan in place, trucks and big boxes take over everything. Now that we've had them both around for half a century, and we KNOW that they destroy both downtowns and highways, it's pathetic that they still manage to overrun everything.
