Okay. I promised I wouldn't do another diary on this, so I will let the NYT speak for me.
Please, try to make sense of this ... I can't.
For those of you unfamiliar with the problem at hand ... NYC has the same logistical problem that Boston does, but the government has REFUSED to do in NYC what they are now doing in Boston.
BOSTON, March 31 -- This is a city accustomed to traffic snarls and commuting gymnastics, bedeviled as it was for years by the Big Dig highway construction project.
But on Wednesday, Bostonians were told to brace this summer for another major downtown interruption: the closing of a major highway and a rail and subway hub during the Democratic National Convention in the last week of July.
The Secret Service ordered the closings, saying they were necessary to block potential terrorist attacks at the convention, the first to be held since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The rail hub, North Station, is in the same building as the FleetCenter, where the convention will be held, and the highway, Interstate 93, runs alongside.
