edf40wrjww2msgDetailB:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d Residents who depend on public transportation to travel Hylan Boulevard can weigh in about an improvement project at a public meeting Wednesday.
MTA/New York City Transit and the New York City Department of Transportation will hold an open house to give an update on its S79 Select Bus Service project. Residents will have a chance to hear about the project, its operation, and its proposed bus stop locations.
The proposed 17-mile SBS route would run from the Staten Island Mall along Richmond Avenue and continue along Hylan and across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to Bay Ridge, where it would terminate at the 86th Street subway station of the R line to Manhattan.
People at the open house will be able to view the proposed plan for the Hylan Boulevard corridor, and talk with project team members. They will be invited to share their concerns about transit service, traffic conditions, pedestrian safety and curb use on Hylan.
The open house will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Renaissance, Grant City. The formal presentation starts at 7:15 p.m.
More project information can be found online at www.nyc.gov/brt.
The project was undertaken to try to improve local and express bus travel time and reliability, improve traffic flow at congested intersections, and improve safety for all corridor users, including motorists, transit riders, and pedestrians.
After months of studying traffic and transit ridership, the plan is expected to be implement by 2013.
