The community board problem found in today’s New York City

By this time next month, the city's transportation department will likely be well on its way to implementing a traffic plan it first proposed to northwest Bronxites last May to make the Broadway corridor safer for pedestrians - and they don't care what anyone has to say about it. That's mostly because when representatives from the department came to the Community Board 8's transportation committee, they were lambasted by residents and business owners alike for a plan they thought did not address some of their biggest concerns, like double parking and 18-wheelers barreling in from Yonkers.
