Posted by dkupf on Mon Aug 24 03:08:35 2015, in response to Re: Study to Improve Staten Island Bus Service (Source: SILive), posted by checkmatechamp13 on Sun Aug 23 00:32:51 2015. Local service, unfortunately, is not conducive along Goethals Road North/Fahy Avenue area due to the street layout and the SIE being a barrier in the area.In reference to the S42, perhaps the S44 could be rerouted from St. George as follows: Richmond Terrace, Jersey St, Brighton Ave, Lafayette Ave, Henderson Ave, to current routing. The S42 would be discontinued. The S94 routing, in this scenario, would not change, though it would have to make stops along Lafayette Ave between Henderson Ave and Richmond Terrace. And, trips would have to be added during the weekday rush. There are, obviously, pros and cons. The pros are that most people in the New Brighton area would see their service improve. This neighborhood would become more accessible to the rest of the island, and would have weekend service. (The S44 would have overnight service added whether or not this occurs.) The cons are that Prospect Ave service would be eliminated and most current S44 riders would see their travel times increase. As that I'm not familiar with the area, I'm sure that you probably have a better idea than mine. I'm all ears. |
