Posted by Joe on Tue Mar 9 21:39:02 2010, in response to Re: A Picture You Can No Longer Get, posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Mar 9 12:22:30 2010. Sunday afternoon 3.7.2010 I rode a northbound B63 on the new route, as drivers were told to do a day early. Left onto Flatbush was no sweat. Then we caught up to our leader, stuck, unable to turn left onto Atlantic. Each time there was a break in southbound Flatbush Avenue traffic, there was no room on Atlantic, due to a red light at Fourth Avenue. When he finally made his move, he nicely swung wide enough to provide space for us to double-up on his left. Then came the problem of getting to the curb west of Fourth Avenue. A mess. A left arrow for buses (Flatbush to Atlantic) must be timed with a green signal allowing westbound Atlantic Avenue traffic to get across Fourth.---- Somehow (and I could be wrong), I think the B63 "old" route, crossing Flatbush Avenue twice, was the trolley route, and that, in turn, may have been the route of the Fifth Avenue el. |
