Re: Queens Bus Redesign Results In Slower Speeds

While the Queens Bus Network redesign affected us in Brooklyn as well, slower speeds can be attributed to many factors. Traffic is number one reason, especially when in my area double parking, sanitation and school buses have caused delays. My primary route, the B47 has had issues since the depot switch. It ran fairly well when it was out of the Flatbush Depot, started getting wonky when moved to Grand Avenue, now operating out of Fresh Pond it’s horrible. Lot of us are concerned about the Brooklyn Network redesign which will affect the B47 coming down our street which many rely on it. I understand the constant turns from Clarkson Ave are a pain but moving the bus to Kings Hwy is a bad move just to put it on the street which causes the most drama, E 98th St. I tried suggesting just leave the B47 on Clarkson and Rockaway Pkwy to ENY Ave and avoid E 98th Street altogether. Truck deliveries for the shops there as well as squeezing through with the B15 are a nightmare.
