Dramatic redesign of Flatbush Avenue would add bus lanes to gridlocked Brooklyn street
After years of stops and starts, New York City is finally moving forward with plans to install bus lanes on a busy stretch of Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, where gridlock regularly creates hellish commutes for thousands of riders.
City officials in early 2023 proposed adding bus lanes along to street that year but announced no further progress on the project until this week. The advancement of the plan comes as Mayor Eric Adams has “By redesigning Flatbush Avenue, we can speed up bus service to improve the lives of nearly 70,000 daily bus riders currently stuck on one of the most congested corridors in Brooklyn — while also enhancing pedestrian safety,” said Vincent Barone, a spokesperson for the department.
Transportation officials said they eventually plan to add bus lanes along Flatbush Avenue all the way down to Kings Plaza, but added that they are prioritizing the northern corridor because it’s the most congested section of the street.
