I'm not saying your city is too big, but...

If you have a three mile long, by one mile wide, park in the center of your city
and every inch of it is this busy, on a day that it rained, you may want to rethink some of your urban planning priorities...
I'm not saying your city is too big, but if you need 7 lanes to separate the traffic in your park (where you don't allow cars), maybe you should think about re-zoning some residential areas...
You have (not in frame) dawdling foot traffic in both directions,
jogging in both directions, dawdling cyclists (one direction only),
fast cyclists (one direction only), and then a lane shared by horses,
coaches, emergency vehicles, and cyclists that don't follow the rules.
I'm not saying your city is too big, but if your giant park needs it's own ambulance service, maybe it's time to consider demolishing some high rises.
I'm not saying your city is too big, but if a guy can't walk his dog from one end of your giant park to the other, without it needing to stop and take a nap, maybe you need to consider changing some of your bylaws.
I'm not saying your city is too big, but if there's a line to get into a hamburger shop that isn't even urban burger quality, maybe it's time to think about having some sort of entry visa.
I'm not saying your city is too big, but if there's a line to get into a Deli after 7pm on a Sunday night, maybe it's time to think about deporting some people.
I'm not saying your city is too big, but if there's a line to get into one of the biggest and most famous museums in the world. No wait, that one is fair enough.
I'm not saying your city is too big, but if there's a line of people queued up because one direction might be turning up to eat at this restaurant, maybe you should burn your city to the ground.
I'm not saying your city is too big, but I'll say this, New York is the city that loves to queue. New York is so busy, men queue to pee standing up...
