Trump administration demands halt to 34th Street busway in Midtown
"I demand you cease and desist all activities to implement the 34th Street busway project immediately,"
"potential concerns regarding truck access, and whether the busway can safely and efficiently accommodate large vehicle deliveries."
"I fought for the 34th Street busway because it will speed up buses, reduce congestion, and get New Yorkers where they need to go,"
"President Trump is once again using his agencies to punish New York City, to the detriment of the everyday New Yorkers who need this busway to happen."
The Federal Highway Administration ordered New York City and state transportation officials to halt work on a 34th Street busway and warned it may withhold federal funding for other projects. FHWA administrator Sean McMaster cited potential concerns about truck access and whether the busway can safely and efficiently accommodate large vehicle deliveries, and alleged insufficient collaboration between city and state authorities. The busway would restrict passenger vehicles on 34th Street and aims to speed buses that currently average about 3 mph. The project is part of a Midtown rezoning and has supporters who say it will reduce congestion and improve transit speeds.
