Discussion on Pier 6 Access Reveals Albany’s Stranglehold on City Traffic Control

One surprising fact was revealed by a DOT spokesman. When asked why a red light camera could not immediately be installed at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and the BQE on-ramp, he said that the state had authorized the city only a limited number of such cameras, and that the city already had reached that limit.

Streetsblog readers have known that for years, but it’s great to see the wider public taking an interest.

They may have problems with some bad police officers in some of your urban areas. But we don’t have those problems around here. All of our cops around here are good cops.
