"Our crews will be here on Flatbush Avenue undertaking a large reconstruction of the corridor, from Flatbush Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn to Grand Army Plaza. Now that the weather is warmed and the construction season is here, the real work starts today."
"The project is designed to make travel faster on several bus lines that use the portion of Flatbush Avenue... It aims to do so by providing dedicated lanes where buses are less likely to contend with private vehicles."
"This design will separate out bus lanes from general traffic lanes. That means riders will no longer suffer behind double-parked cars and commuters won't lose time as buses that weave in and out of the curb lane for pick-up and drop-off slow everything down."
The Flatbush Avenue project, initiated by the city, involves reconstructing the corridor from Downtown Brooklyn to Grand Army Plaza. It includes building center-running bus lanes, concrete boarding islands, and expanding pedestrian space. Construction will occur on one side of the street at a time to minimize traffic disruption. The project targets faster travel for several bus lines serving 132,000 daily riders by separating bus lanes from general traffic. Although the administration aims to boost bus speeds by 20% across various corridors, no specific target was set for Flatbush Avenue.
