""Time is money, and, too often, our city has taken both from working people who rely on our buses. These center-running bus lanes will give New Yorkers back something precious: time with their families, time at work, time in their communities.""
""The redesign offers a bold blueprint for other street projects in the city, aiming to enhance the overall transit experience and reduce congestion in one of the busiest corridors for bus riders.""
""Flatbush Avenue is one of the city's busiest - and slowest - corridors for bus riders, with buses averaging a speed of roughly 4 mph on the stretch north of Grand Army Plaza.""
The northern section of Brooklyn's Flatbush Avenue will be redesigned to alleviate congestion and enhance public transit. The project includes six concrete islands for bus riders, center lanes for buses, wider sidewalks, new bike parking areas, and loading zones for businesses. Construction will resume in late April and last about six months. Officials advise drivers to avoid the area and use alternative routes or mass transit. The redesign aims to improve bus speeds and overall transit efficiency for the 130,000 daily riders.
