I will say that, of the S78's mileage, there's more areas where a bus could pick up speed, compared to the S54. The S78 west of Richmond Avenue has very little passenger activity, and wide open roads. (You could even say west of Guyon Avenue, though that would be pushing it)As opposed to the S54, where you're going to be getting lots of passenger activity from all points north of the Todt Hill Houses. Toss in traffic around Susan Wagner High School, and along that small stretch of Rockland Avenue (between Brielle & Forest Hill), and you can see where the potential for delays comes in. It can still be done, but there would have to be lots of short-turns sprinkled in (maybe some starting at the SI Mall, and some starting at Castleton & Clove). Maybe make the main route run limited north of Castleton & Clove (just take Castleton-Broadway-Richmond Terrace, and have the short-turns cover the local stops in New Brighton/Cottage Hill). But we'll see how it all pans out. In any case, I've been informed that the Public Relations person from the MTA will be present at the CB1 meeting on Monday, October 19th at 7:30PM. We're working on trying to get people from Operations Planning to attend. The meeting is at Edgewater Plaza, which is by a triangle at the intersection of Bay, Front, and Edgewater (a few blocks south of the Clifton SIR station, and directly accessible by the S51 route). |
