The Adams administration will resume work on the 34th Street busway as part of a Midtown rezoning plan to introduce 10,000 new homes. Previously halted, construction on the busway will move forward following a public engagement process. The initiative aims to prioritize buses and trucks while reducing congestion. Enhancements such as improved bus stop amenities will promote accessibility and rider comfort. Public engagement for the project is scheduled for 2025, with some community support already established through prior outreach efforts by the Department of Transportation.
