City Council Member Gale Brewer who previously supported bus lane projects, now argues against a dedicated bus lane on 96th Street, contradicting her own past advocacy.
Brewer claims that because the rush-hour speed averages 6-8 MPH in one direction, a bus lane isn’t necessary, despite clear slowdowns in the opposite direction.
A flawed argument against the bus lane cites fears of lost parking spaces, while the DOT plan intends an offset bus lane to preserve parking and curb access.
Ultimately, the opposition to the bus lane reveals concerns over illegal double parking rather than genuine traffic or parking issues, as admitted by the critics.
