Posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Apr 19 19:50:10 2016, in response to Re: Attention all B36 Bus riders, posted by R30A on Tue Apr 19 00:32:31 2016. First of all it's 260 feet, not 200 feet.Second, Westbound the bus presently has a signal at E 17 Street, one at East 15 St and Sheepshead Bay Road and another at East 15 Street and Avenue Z. That is three traffic signals. As proposed, straight along Avenue Z, there are signals at East 15, 16 and 17th Streets, also a total of three signals. Zero percent increase. Eastbound there is a signal at East 14 and Sheepshead Bay Road, another at E 15 and SBR, and a third at Avenue Z and East 15 Street, total of three signals. As proposed straight along Avenue Z there are two signals, one at East 14th and another at East 15th. So there wound be a saving of only one traffic signal in the eastbound direction and none in the westbound direction. So you are incorrect in using the plural (light cycles.) Your second statement is also incorrect. It takes a minute or three minutes to walk the extra block unless you believe pedestrians do not have to wait for two green lights that would be required. The bus also takes an extra minute under the current routing. So at best pedestrians could walk the distance in the same amount of time and at worst, it would take an extra two minutes. But as I pointed out, more importantly, those extra two minutes might make the difference between you catching it missing a train or bus adding up to 20 minutes to your trip if you miss either. |
