“ Mirabella said the association’s end goal is not to prevent the DOT from installing protected bike lanes in Astoria but said the group is calling for the bike lanes to be installed on a residential corridor such as 33rd Street, where there is less traffic and less store fronts than the 31st Street corridor. He also stated that the 31st Street corridor has significant visibility issues due to the overhead tracks.”
Having lived nearby 31st St is incredibly stupid from a visibility perspective. Im inclined to agree that 33rd would be better

Also as a business owner, I have more success with bike traffic and foot traffic then with people in cars. Theses business owners are so fucking dumb.

most business owners seem to be maybe good at actually doing the job, but just barely scraping by in terms of running the business…
it’s like how anyone with experience says you should never open a restaurant, then you look at how restaurants are run and yeah no shit it doesn’t work when people don’t realize you have to 1) make food people want to buy, 2) make food that people can afford to buy, and 3) keep your business to a scale where you can actually make a profit.
Like my god, stop opening big restaurants, just run a food truck or something and accept that you’re not getting michelin stars.
