Southbound FDR Drive service road between East 73 and East 71 Streets, FDR Exit Ramp (Exit 13), and Entrance Ramp to southbound FDR Drive will be closed. "I commend Congressman Ruiz for getting this legislation through the House," said Senator Boxer, who introduced the Senate version of the bill. My bill will cut through longstanding bureaucratic red tape and streamline economic development for the City of Banning, Riverside County, and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, and help to create jobs here at home." "I'm proud to have worked together, with both Democrats and Republicans, to find a pragmatic solution to help our community here in the desert. "The people of California deserve a Congress that works for them, not against them," said Dr. 387, the Economic Development Through Tribal Land Exchange Act, unanimously passed the House of Representatives. It became a popular term in 1980 when a New York City transportation official, Sam Schwartz, wanted to warn commuters about the consequences of driving into the city during a transit strike.īut in the 21st century, you might want to have a different name that captures all the ways people get around these days.WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Dr. Gridlock." At that time, the word "gridlock" was very new. Maybe the editors will want to maintain the transportation column but call it something else?īack in 1986, it was Eugene Robinson (who went on to be a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist) who came up with the name "Dr. So it doesn't surprise me now that we wouldn't all know what happens next.

Over the years, we've had reports of this type of thing: A person gets stuck and the train moves, or the doors open when the train hasn't reached a platform, or the doors open on the wrong side. The train shouldn't move unless all the doors are shut, and if a person is stuck in the door, the door isn't shut.
