Overview
- New offset bus lanes are planned for Fordham Road, where roughly 130,000 daily riders would see a targeted bus‑speed increase of at least 20%.
- The final block of Ashland Place will be converted to one‑way with a two‑way protected bike lane, closing a key gap to create a continuous protected route from Sunset Park to DUMBO.
- Central Brooklyn plans include parking‑protected bike lanes on Brooklyn and Kingston avenues with a protected loop around Wingate Park, plus a Midwood–Flatbush network featuring protected lanes on Cortelyou and Dorchester roads and standard lanes on additional streets.
- Officials said designs will be finalized in the coming months, work is slated to start in spring, and the goal is to finish the four projects this year.
- Riders Alliance criticized the Fordham design and skipped the event as some business groups warned of traffic impacts, and both the mayor and MTA said any fare‑free bus plan depends on securing replacement revenue.
