But CP and others are on notice: additional greenway crossings will not go uncontested. passed a reso in favor of city council intro #199.

Numerous members of the public protested in public hearings, and in written statements, that this would result in dangerous and unpleasant crowding on the path. The creation of yet another motor vehicle access across the heavily used greenway is hard to reconcile with the City's purported new commitment to cycling. Many of the on-street lanes, though welcome, are on already calm streets, and are far less important than redesigning or eliminating the crossings that endanger thousands of cyclists and pedestrians on the greenway. The members of the Hudson River Park Trust appointed by the mayor should strongly oppose any additional motor vehicle crossings/drives/slipways on the path. The city could demonstrate a real committment to cycling by working to reduce the number of vehicle crossing points.

You know how to gin up a protest. Wanna bet that the sweatpants have the 'Official Seal of the President of the United States'? Alternately, they might be a tribute to the late Chief Justice Rehnquist. Ooh, low blow. You know how to gin up a protest.
