Brooklyn Assemblyman Bobby Carroll has a dream: skiers, skaters, lugers, curlers, and others, the best in the world, congregating right here in New York, between New York City and Lake Placid, for one of the only events that can still really bring the whole globe together: the Winter Olympics.

We agree and let’s start planning to light that flame.

Carroll and former Lake Placid Assemblyman Billy Jones explained this audacious yet obvious split location plan in these pages in December. Yesterday, Carroll wrote of his personal experience at last month’s Winter Games that were jointly held in the Italian city of Milan and the mountains of Cortina.

We have the city and we have the mountains.

This is not a dream that’s around the corner, as it won’t happen until 2042, but it will only be possible by setting the groundwork now........
