""The Mamdani administration will out-bus the "Bus Mayor" and take the "crash" out of "Crashland" with a set of major street safety and transit improvement projects later this afternoon in the Bronx. In short, the long-stalled bus priority project on Fordham Road - the scene of what many call Mayor Adams's greatest failure for suffering bus riders - is back on, albeit as a pair of offset bus lanes rather than the car-free busway that activists wanted.""
""And it's no small matter: Since the project was announced until its restoration, there were 23 reported crashes on the single block, injuring nine people, including four cyclists and three pedestrians, according to city statistics. "The project will convert the remaining, southernmost block of Ashland Place, known as 'Crashland,' from a two-way street to a one-way street with the addition of a two-way protected bike lane,""
The Mamdani administration will implement major street safety and transit improvements including a revived bus priority project on Fordham Road and completion of a protected bike lane on Ashland Place. The Fordham Road plan will use offset bus lanes instead of a car-free busway; DOT analysis indicates offset lanes yield the greatest speed and reliability benefits for bus riders. A previously unfinished single block on Ashland Place, dubbed 'Crashland,' saw 23 reported crashes injuring nine people before restoration. The Ashland project will convert the southernmost block to one-way operation and add a two-way protected bike lane, completing a continuous route to DUMBO and connections to Greenpoint and Queens.
