I suppose this is good in the sense that it gives news outlets an angle to discuss it. It's hard to know what this means, but if it in any way discourages 18-wheel grocery trucks from turning down my block, I'm all for it. But you'll want another hyphen in the headline there: Eight-Year-Long.... I was hoping for more of a précis after the jump.

They are called barges. Each one that brings in a load of aggregate takes 40 trucks off the road, same with fuel oil. Save the working waterfront. Write Doctoroff, its better than wasting your ink on the Atlantic Yards. I got something to molify the truck diseconomies. They are called barges.
