"Every weekday, nearly 100,000 bus riders from all five boroughs are stuck crawling along Madison Avenue at walking speed. The snail's pace of buses and the unpredictable commutes steal precious time from working New Yorkers that could otherwise be spent with their families and friends."
"The redesign will feature one travel lane throughout, one parking lane with left turn pockets from 23rd to 34th Street, and one parking/rush hour travel lane from 34th to 42nd Street."
The redesign of Madison Avenue's bus lane will extend double bus lanes from 42nd to 23rd Street, enhancing speed and reliability for 92,000 daily riders. Currently, 55% of street users are bus riders without dedicated lanes. The NYC DOT aims to complete construction in several weeks, addressing slow bus speeds that average 4.5 miles per hour. The redesign includes one travel lane, a parking lane, and left turn pockets, aiming to improve commuting without cars and support congestion pricing.
