This seems terribly important. Please keep us posted. ** -- SixerHoo 04/04/2024 09:59AM Of course it's a shakedown. I'd reroute the course, cut off the bridge, -- Stimp 04/04/2024 09:49AM New York Post weighs in (link) -- JMHoo 04/04/2024 1:18PM In that case the city basically wins ... it gets toll revenue from open -- CharlestonSC 04/04/2024 10:11AM How many people are going to be taking the bridge during the marathon, -- JMHoo 04/04/2024 1:17PM As soon as it opens again? Lots. Every day. ThusâŚthe nightmarish traffic. ** -- hoolstoptheheels 04/04/2024 2:38PM Once it opens again theyâre collecting tolls. ** -- JMHoo 04/04/2024 2:50PM Yeah, and the mta is only looking to plug the hole while itâs closed. -- hoolstoptheheels 04/04/2024 3:04PM Because the whole point is running through the city. Ending in central -- hoolstoptheheels 04/04/2024 10:50AM It's incredibly mutually beneficial, which is why I don't get the $ grab -- Stimp 04/04/2024 11:02AM LOL I wouldn't do it, but why is this important? I can spot you the $15 -- Capital City Hoo 04/04/2024 09:32AM I donât really agree. This isnât like some random add on fee. Itâs sayin -- hoolstoptheheels 04/04/2024 09:40AM I've never run the NY Marathon. But I'm assuming they only use one deck -- Capital City Hoo 04/04/2024 10:02AM I donât think anything shutters the city like the nyc marathon. No 5k -- hoolstoptheheels 04/04/2024 10:40AM Race has used both decks for ~ 40 years ** -- Stimp 04/04/2024 10:07AM ByâŚhaving the people using it pay for it? Thatâs âliberalâ? ** -- hoolstoptheheels 04/04/2024 09:15AM Organizers are complaining that people that travel from around the world -- 81_Hokie 04/04/2024 08:19AM Well, a sudden $15 hike on the entrance fee is noticable and irritating -- CAVern 04/04/2024 08:46AM Itâs already a $295 fee. Is $310 really that irritating? ** -- BocaHoo91 04/04/2024 08:49AM I'm sure if i was race director i would not want that sudden increase -- CAVern 04/04/2024 09:03AM The race is Nov 3. When should it be done? ** -- 81_Hokie 04/04/2024 09:12AM Come on, i meant why this year? apparently the race has always gone over -- CAVern 04/04/2024 09:15AM Because NYCâs budget is stretched to the limit. This year has inflationary -- hoolstoptheheels 04/04/2024 09:29AM Seriously? Every political entity... city, state, county, country... has -- 81_Hokie 04/04/2024 09:34AM Well, if you read the way i worded it i was somewhat dismissing the entire -- CAVern 04/04/2024 10:02AM If the fee is fine but "sudden", when should it have been implemented? It -- 81_Hokie 04/04/2024 10:11AM No. It should be implemented before people pay -- Stimp 04/04/2024 10:28AM Umm, didnât I say that? ** -- hoolstoptheheels 04/04/2024 09:42AM Sorry, meant as a response to CAVern ** -- 81_Hokie 04/04/2024 09:56AM I definitely agree with that point, even mentioned it in a post below -- CAVern 04/04/2024 09:31AM I suspect your last sentence is right. ** -- BocaHoo91 04/04/2024 09:07AM That's a tiny % of the total cost for most, who come from around the world -- 81_Hokie 04/04/2024 08:57AM If the bridge wasnât trying to charge the fee, JM -- BocaHoo91 04/04/2024 09:03AM If it hit his feed that way, yep, for sure. -- Shenhoo 04/04/2024 09:09AM At least it's not the Chesapeake Express Way ** -- HokieDan95 04/04/2024 07:48AM Somebody is going to have to go back and get a shit load of dimes ** -- Mad Bowl Hoo 04/04/2024 06:26AM Runners can wear a EZ-Pass armband ** -- Tuckahokie 04/04/2024 06:32AM Hmmm. Seems like people wanting a free crossing of a bridge -- BocaHoo91 04/03/2024 11:37PM People who bring in $427 million to NYC. -- JMHoo 04/04/2024 06:57AM Maybe. If the nyc marathon organizers -- BocaHoo91 04/04/2024 07:25AM The organizers already pay for police overtime. ** -- JMHoo 04/04/2024 07:58AM Iâm sure. So why shouldnât they pay for a toll bridge to close down? -- BocaHoo91 04/04/2024 08:20AM Agreed. and, posts like this one always make me scratch my head -- CAVern 04/04/2024 08:49AM Well the FBI is made up of liberals apparently -- BocaHoo91 04/04/2024 08:58AM Seriously ** -- CAVern 04/04/2024 09:05AM It doesn't make consciousness of rational people. ** -- 81_Hokie 04/04/2024 08:29AM Exactly. Special events have to pay for Police overtime -- 757 04/04/2024 08:18AM Special events *are supposed* to pay for police overtime -- WahooMatt05 04/04/2024 08:37AM Why the Trump campaign wonât pay police bills (link) -- Hoo TV 04/04/2024 09:29AM Liberals are fat, bald and out of shape. ** -- ryno hoo 04/03/2024 10:40PM LOL. Scan the crowd at any Trump rally. -- PBCHoo 04/04/2024 12:22AM Peak fitness (like me) is right wing. I don't make the rules ** -- ryno hoo 04/04/2024 07:54AM Spoken like a true white supremacist (link) -- JMHoo 04/04/2024 08:04AM Ryno canât see over the crowd when heâs at those rallies, given that -- TomGlansAski 04/04/2024 01:21AM
