Starrett City, Canarsie, and South Ozone Park could all have bus routes that would enter the highway which is above Linden Blvd and the Bay Ridge into the Gowanus Expressway and continue via the HOV lane into the Battery Tunnel. The benefit would soley be for downtown access. Hell, even Downtown-Rockaway express bus service would benefit. Not that I'm a fan of expanding the express bus network (I'd rather see as much of it replaced with rail service, but it does have its place as a piece of the transportation puzzle). Of course, if Ocean Parkway center lanes were elevated, that would be an even faster route as the buses could exit the Cross Brooklyn Expressway onto Ocean Parkway and run that into the Prospect Expressway. Honestly, the expressway is more for access from NJ/SI to south Brooklyn/Queens/LI to get that traffic off the BQE and LIE |
