I think an important, if not the primary, reason why
cars were allowed on West River Drive after closing is being ignored
here. A local radio personality, Marsha Mason, turned the closing of WRD
into a racial issue. And whether it was in any way, shape or form racial
or not, the resulting political pressure brought about the current
compromises.
Will this person or her cohorts bring pressure to bear
again? I think this factor has to be looked at before any strategy can be
laid.
BTW, the Daily News was a big supporter of not closing
WRD.
