The proposed center-running bus lane along Flatbush Avenue is set to enhance public transportation in Brooklyn, creating a transit priority street that connects local neighborhoods. The Department of Transportation plans to introduce concrete bus boarding islands and improve pedestrian safety, while also streamlining bus services. However, concerns remain regarding how to effectively prevent cars from invading the bus lanes, specifically in areas where curbside parking is still allowed. Strategic design and traffic management will be crucial for the success of this initiative, which aims to transform Flatbush into a more efficient transit corridor.
But crucial details are still missing from the plan - most important how officials will keep cars and trucks out of the red paint.
With a center-running bus lane and strategically placed bus boarding islands along the corridor, officials will calm traffic, create shorter crossing distances for pedestrians and improve bus service.
