"The Department of Transportation will paint the town - specifically Flatbush Avenue between Livingston Street and State Street - red this week, with work set to start on the agency's "bus-priority" vision for the busy corridor. The B41, which runs on Flatbush Avenue, is one of the 10 busiest bus routes in the city, even with the strip's current snail-pace rush-hour speeds. DOT's project will add center-running red bus lanes in both direction and concrete bus boarding islands."

The Department of Transportation will paint Flatbush Avenue between Livingston Street and State Street red and begin a bus-priority project this week. The project will add center-running red bus lanes in both directions and concrete bus boarding islands. The B41 uses this corridor and ranks among the city's ten busiest bus routes despite snail-pace rush-hour speeds on the strip. Some outlets characterized the change as the loss of two driving lanes. City officials, elected legislators, and transit advocates support the project. Construction and implementation will continue into next year. The changes aim to speed bus service, improve boarding safety, and prioritize public transit on a heavily used route.
