One of the shop owners literally told me "our customers used to be able to double park to come here and now they can't."

Funny that they don't want the list of who they are released. They all have the "we love bike lanes, just not this design" sign in their windows.

Those who hate the bike lane have a sign in their window, they make it pretty easy.

If DOT moves ahead too quickly, they risk discrediting the concept of BRT in NYC.

Speed increases were greatest on SelectBus projects where several bus priority measures were combined, such as on the 14th Street Busway. Read the report to learn about the specific impacts of each bus priority measure!

The report analyzes the effectiveness of the array of bus priority measures implemented in NYC since 2008. While there have been important benefits, the average speed increase on all bus priority corridors was only about ½ mph.

Yes, interborough transit is the way. We do need transit along the fast developing Brooklyn/Queens waterfront but no one is really looking to go up and down the waterfront - they're still going to Manhattan.

All-door boarding/off-board fare collection can be equally, if not more important, depending on specific causes of delay. In a dense, high boarding area, boarding delay can be greater than traffic delay. Dedicated ROW is most critical where there is traffic delay but how that's done matters hugely.

BRTs are relatively quick and inexpensive to implement, especially compared to light rail. With dedicated bus lanes, improved signal timing, camera enforcement of blocked bus lanes, and more, they have the potential to truly transform NYC. Read more: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/02/04/m...

In fact, NYC DOT does have a project on Dekalb! It's a bus project but it seems that bike improvements are included.
