"David, along with three state elected representatives - Sen. Andrew Lanza, Assembly Michael Tannousis and Sen. Jessica Scarcella Spanton - were so outraged they staged a press conference on a stretch of Capodanno Boulevard between Midland Avenue and Miller Field, where southbound autos can make a right on Lincoln Avenue, enter Miller Field (when the gate's open), or jug handle back north toward the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. And they brought two members of the Midland Beach Civic Association along for support."
"this is my childhood stomping grounds. I was unaware of the department's latest plan to sabotage Staten Island drivers and had to see it for myself. Sure enough, the Department of Transportation painting crew had a cluster of white lines all over the roadway. Straight lines. Horizontal lines. Curved lines fashioned into arrows. Lines on an angle. Solid lines. Broken lines. Some lines even form the word "ONLY," ordering us to keep moving, or turn left. Our choice."
A critic heard a voice complaining that every Staten Island plan seems to involve bike lanes. City councilman David Carr joined three state legislators to hold a press conference on Capodanno Boulevard, a short stretch used for right turns into Miller Field or jug-handle access to the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and brought Midland Beach Civic Association members. The Department of Transportation proposed creating a bike lane that would reduce the roadway from two lanes to one. A painting crew marked numerous pavement lines and arrows, including the word ONLY, directing vehicle movements at the intersection.
