Posted by checkmatechamp13 on Wed Dec 8 18:08:45 2021, in response to Re: Staten Island and Manhattan bus redesigns., posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Dec 8 16:31:31 2021. I'm confused. Are you talking about the S79 SBS project (which included bus lanes near the SI Mall) or the Verrazanno-Narrows Bridge bus lane? Because those were separate from the 2015 local bus study.The original 2015 study has not been abandoned. The MTA told us (at the Community Board 1 meeting) from the very beginning that the express routes would be prioritized in the study (and we insisted that the local routes should not be ignored and they heard us loud and clear). At the end, they were overly cautious and decided to start small and stick with their original priority (at the time, the express system carried about 1/3 the passenger volume of the local system...probably less nowadays, so any impacts wouldn't be as large and it would give them a chance to adjust and scale it up for the local network). |
