To run down the medians, you would need buses with doors on both sides.That would be the plan. When Grand Concourse was first built, streetcars used to run down the median of the main road and I believe the medians are still wide at various intersections because of that. Would one of the service roads even be wide enough for a bidirectional roadway? The Queens Boulevard service roads became hopelessly clogged when it was decided to take one of the lanes and concert it into parking. At some intersections the sidewalk expands a bit into the street so that would have to be addressed, but the service roads are definitely wide enough for bidirectional traffic. The city caused the buses to run slow in the first place, and to correct the problem they caused, they want to gridlock the street for all other traffic. As I explained before, automobiles caused buses and streetcars to run slow. As the population of New York City grew, traffic grew, but public transportation didn't grow with it including the bus system where you have routes like the B43 which awkwardly and abruptly turns down Empire Boulevard in Lefferts Gardens because of a baseball stadium that has been gone for over 6 decades. |
