#ZohranMamdani has announced that the #NewYorkCity Department of #Transportation will restart four previously halted street redesign schemes in the Bronx and Brooklyn, aimed at improving bus reliability and road safety for around 130,000 daily riders. Work begins this spring. In the #Bronx, offset bus lanes will be installed along Fordham Road, the borough’s busiest bus corridor. In #Brooklyn, the final protected cycle lane segment on Ashland Place in Fort Greene will be completed, alongside new and upgraded cycle routes in Midwood, Flatbush and East Flatbush. Protected lanes will also be added on Brooklyn and Kingston avenues near several schools. City officials and #transport advocates said the projects would speed up buses, cut injuries and create safer streets for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.
