Posted by Hank Eisenstein on Tue Jul 12 12:40:25 2011, in response to Re: What is wrong with Select Bus Service, posted by checkmatechamp13 on Tue Jul 12 10:40:32 2011. Local service along the service roads is really unwarranted. The biggest problem is that they're not contiguous; they also see significant overflow traffic. Except for Slosson Ave (a 1/4 mile walk to Manor Rd) and Wooley Ave, all the roads that cross the highway have bus routes on them, and only Manor Rd and Clove don't have routes to the Ferry; Clove's route goes to Brooklyn instead. Since service along the highway's service roads would require riders to walk to the nearest highway crosstreet already, it's duplicative. There's also parallel service within ~1/3 of a mile in most areas where the service roads are contiguous. Willowbrook is the only neighborhood where the service road might support such service; the 61 runs along Harold St to Bradley Ave and the 62/93 along Victory Blvd. Harold is 1/2 mile south of the expressway, and Victory is 1/4 mile north; both routes operate to the Ferry. |
