Posted by New Flyer #857 on Fri Nov 27 10:21:27 2015, in response to Re: B44--SBS, posted by BrooklynBus on Thu Nov 26 12:10:38 2015. I don't know all the stages of the planning, but based on a heavy emphasis on the section on Rogers / Nostrand, between Fulton and Flatbush, on the promotional materials (the mockups and most photos all come from that area), it is difficult for me to think that anything happened other than that they saw that section as their "baby" since it seemed a slam-dunk to install the bus lanes in each direction there. The B49 wasn't going to get SBS for many reasons, so that left the B44. A new routing was not an option because then they wouldn't have been able to show how much time SBS saves over the local.Sheepshead Bay happens to be the south end of the B44. If Kings Plaza was, then Kings Plaza would have gotten the SBS. Look at those ridiculous bus lanes near Voohries Ave. Is there even the slightest purpose of them from a transit perspective? No. But if they didn't put them there, there would be no bus lanes south of Ave I and it would be even more blatantly obvious that Sheepshead Bay got sucked in to the SBS because it suited their Rogers / Nostrand focus area. |
