Playing the Sway Game
With so much opposition to their plans, many people are wondering if ISC’s dreams of building a Nascar Track in Staten Island will ever become reality. As we ponder over this question, there are many more questions in the minds of the ISC team of people who are struggling not only to realize this dream but also to pacify politicians and residents alike. Talk of reducing the number of cars allowed to park within the parking bays supplied by the Nascar track itself did nothing to pacify the opponents. Instead, politicians bombarded ISC for trying to paint the Trojan Horse a different color and trying to pass it off as a friendly gesture. But ISC is not about give up…not after $110 million’s been invested on the tasty piece of land. In their latest attempt to sway public opinion about the plan, they’re exploring the possibility of getting large buses to take fans from eateries to the stadium and back. This way, the number of cars would be reduced. Combine this plan with plans of employing ferries and other mode of transportation, could it work out? So far, ISC has been busy partnering with eateries inside and outside of Staten Island itself. Fans, they say, can gather around at the eateries after their meal and head on toward the track after that. The restaurants and eateries concerned were willing to sign on the dotted line only if it could bring potential increase in earnings. The partnership could very well work out great for both ISC and the restaurants because ISC intends to designate the eateries as the meeting point and encourage the Nascar fans to have their meals at the eateries before heading out for the race. This plan could very well just be moving the problem from one place to another – parking problems in Staten Island to parking problems at the restaurants. However, already half of the restaurant association are convinced that this plan could bring in the dough – through tourism and through the eateries. In the meantime, the ISC team are busy cooking up further plans to partner with other parties including transportation companies, hotels…and the likes.
