Maybe the main streets were 'meant to handle it', but sometimes they don't. To blithely redirect everybody back there is the NIMBY part? The part where its just assumed that the public doesn't need to inconvenience me; isn't somebody taking care of all that stuff?
My concern about the traffic isn't NIMBY in nature because I don't care whether anyone drives down the street as long as they do it safely. So rather than "not in my backyard," it's "in my backyard is fine as long as you do it safely."
It isn't arduous to use the road, any redirected traffic is going back to the main streets meant to handle it, and jet fuel can and did melt those steel beams--not the three-way stop on my street.
