34th Street busway gets another go as part of larger Midtown rezoning plan
Briefly

NYC officials reinstated a Midtown busway plan to prioritize buses and trucks while allowing local access. The Department of Transportation initially proposed converting part of 34th Street into a dedicated busway to improve bus speeds by 15%. This project was previously suspended but was revived in connection with the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan, which aims to create nearly 10,000 new homes. City officials believe the busway will help address the housing crisis while preserving jobs and the local economy.
The city's plan would prioritize buses and trucks along this busy corridor while maintaining local access for drop-offs and deliveries.
NYC officials revived a Midtown busway project as part of a larger rezoning proposal, after City Hall allegedly suspended the plan last month.
This busway would increase bus speeds by as much as 15% for thousands of riders each day.
The proposed busway on 34th Street will support nearly 10,000 new homes that spur from the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan.
