Cyclists and drivers can now ride the “green wave” for 2 miles of Third Avenue in Manhattan – hitting 35 green lights in a row at 15mph between 60th and 96th St.
Faster buses are coming to Lexington Avenue. 🚍
We’re beginning work on upgraded bus lanes between 52nd Street and 60th Street to improve commutes for 71,000 daily riders traveling between Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
The project will convert existing curbside bus lanes into offset bus lanes, helping keep lanes clear of illegal parking, deliveries, and drop-offs that slow buses and delay riders.
The redesign builds on successful upgrades previously completed along Lexington Avenue, where bus speeds increased by 26% and pedestrian injuries declined by 35%.
Safer streets and stronger neighborhood connections are coming to Astoria.
We’re planning to expand the 31st Avenue Bike Boulevard, building on the success of phase one with additional pedestrian space, improved intersection visibility, and a continuous protected bike lane from Vernon Boulevard to Woodside.
The project is designed to reduce speeding and cut-through traffic while maintaining access for residents, deliveries, buses, and emergency vehicles.
*A Bike Boulevard is a street design that prioritizes cyclists and pedestrians while maintaining local vehicle access.
LaGuardia commuters are getting a major transit upgrade ahead of the World Cup. 🌎⚽️✈️
A dedicated center-running eastbound bus lane will be implemented along Broadway between 69th Street and Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens. The corridor serves 9,000 daily riders on the Q70-SBS, which connects New Yorkers and visitors to LGA, the 7, E, F, M and R subway lines, Long Island Railroad and several local bus routes.
Today, buses on the corridor move as slowly as 2.7 mph during evening rush hour — slower than the average walking pace of about 3 mph. This project will preserve the existing travel lanes on the corridor while increasing bus speeds.
NYC DOT will present the proposal to the local community board later this month and expects to complete the project before World Cup matches begin in June.
The vibes? World Cup-level. ⚽️🔥
