I don't know what frequencies you have in mind for B37 and B67 but in my scenario the northern 7th Ave service would still go to Borough Hall. It just would have originated along 3 Ave while in Bay Ridge. So the B37 would be: Borough Hall - 7th Ave (Park Slope) - 3rd Ave (Bay Ridge).The B67 would be Barclays Center - 3rd Ave (Park Slope) - 7th Ave (Dyker Heights). Or reverse the route numbers for the same effect. Such a configuration also stops the current B37 from just repeating the R line one avenue away. As for 7th vs. 8th/9th Aves, PPW borders a park. 7th Ave has a bunch of stuff. You have an opportunity with your plan to go from Park Slope to Williamsburg with one bus (B69). I think such a route would be most helpful if it ran closest to the heart of Park Slope, not on its Prospect Park and Windsor Terrace borders. The only thing I like about driving on 8th and 9th Aves are its "traveling lights," that is the ones that turn green as you reach them all the way down, but buses stopping every couple of blocks don't benefit too much from those. Also, I would prefer a transfer between B67, 68, and 69, either by having the B68 extend to a 7 Ave terminus, or having the B69 use PPW south of Pritchard Square. |
