Comment: Is the new B57 route extension into Central Queens technically supposed to help Brooklinites access the Q70 SBS bus to LaGiuardia Airport plus other areas of Queens more easily by bus?  I still would like to see the Q70 SBS route extended to 48th Street/Roosevelt via Roosevelt Avenue Avenue and then extended further to Williamsburg Bridge Plaza via the proposed Q68 routing but with only SBS (limited stops).   That would be phenominal too and much faster!

Comment: I am a daily subway and local bus rider and occasional express bus rider. I know so many people who take the B103 on a daily basis. I take it to get to work from Kensington. I also stop off at schools along 4th ave and 3rd ave. I also take it from Kensington to the junction to the Q35. All of those things would be radically more different.

Comment: I propose extending the B25 route east from Broadway Junction to Euclid Avenue via Pitkin Avenue to cover the last 4 stops of the A and C train in Brooklyn. The Q24 and Q56 operate blocks away at infrequent and unreliable intervals, as well as the B14. Plus the B25 would provide a one seat ADA commute for those who can?t take the A and C in Brooklyn at non ADA stations and is a quick alternative plan for when train services are disrupted.

Neighborhood(s): Mill Basin- Brooklyn, Bergen Beach- Brooklyn
Routes (existing / proposed):  / BM1
Bus stop theme: Too many bus stops, Relocate stop (intersection location/land use)
Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): New route proposal
Comment: Please see some suggestions regarding redesigning Express Bus BM1 in Brooklyn: 1) Mill Basin and Bergen Beach neighborhoods are far from all Subway lines. Lots of people depend on BM1 to avoid multiple transfers even though the express bus costs twice that of a regular bus/subway. The number of bus stops is outrageous. At some locations, buses stop in every block. Starting from Nostrand Avenue all BM1 and BM4 buses to Manhattan share the same stops. Starting from Ocean Avenue BM1, BM3 and BM4 are sharing the same stops. At Cortelyou Road, BM2 joins all three buses at the same stops. Can you do something to reduce the number of stops, and alternate those stops (on odd and even), to make fewer bus stops for each route? 2) For some reason, the BM1 bus route uses very narrow and small local Brooklyn streets. In the morning BM1 shares the same streets with multiple school buses and stops every time to allow pick up kids or wait for some irresponsible driver who leaves the car in double parking and blocks the whole Avenue K. In the evening we move slowly with the trucks via very narrow and busy Caton Ave. And right turn from Flatbush Avenue to Avenue K is extremely inconvenient for large buses. From time to time we are stuck there because somebody simply parks the car and blocks the right turn for our bus. Is that possible to re-route the bus using bigger streets? 3) Commute time for the last couple of years increased enormously. The usual commute from Manhattan to Bergen Beach, Brooklyn takes about 2+ hours (a couple of times, it was even 3 and 4 hours!) in one way. Ten years ago, the same traveling route took from 40 minutes to 1 hour. If the average commute time remains from 2 to 3 hours in modern realities, maybe it?s time to replace buses with intercity coach buses with restrooms inside. There is no way to leave the Express bus in Brooklyn: all express bus stops are restricted to drop-off only and you can?t continue the ride, even if you are willing to pay again. Can you change at least some of the Brooklyn stops (if not all) to drop-off and pick-up? It will help many people to leave the bus in case of an emergency and then continue the ride on the express bus. Thank you for your help! We all depend on your decisions and hope that our commute will be safer, quicker, and more efficient.

Comment: If you decide to have some B15 buses serve JFK Airport along with the B55 XT the B55XT route could serve Linden Boulevard all the way to the Conduit Boulevard/Avenue including bus stops along Linden Boulevard east of Fountain Avenue.  The B15 JFK buses could then be rerouted at Fountain Avenue to travel south along Fountain Avenue to Vandalia Avenue and then to Erskine Street to easily transfer with buses traveling into and out of the Gateway Center Mall such as the B13, B5, B83 & Q51 routes. The B15 JFK buses could then travel on to the Belt Parkway from Erskine Street and travel non-stop to Lefferts Boulevard AIRTRAIN Station - JFK Airport.  Other B15 buses could continue to serve Linden Boulevard east of Fountain Avenue to Drew Street or Emerald Street at Linden Boulevard.  Another benefit is that B15 passengers from Central Brooklyn would also now have direct bus service to part of the Gateway Center Mall plus it would provide a direct subway connection to the IRT New Lots Avenue Subway Station for residents that reside along Erskine Street, Vandalia Avenue & Fountain Avenue that the previous B84 route had provided.

Comment: I think there should be a local route along Avenue K (likely an extension of the B11). I know the B82 connects to the Brighton Line and runs along Flatlands, but I think there should be a route straight down Avenue K (maybe have the B11 go there instead of to Brooklyn College, since the B6 already runs there, and the B11 would still maintain the same north-south bus connections) Ending at the Georgetown Shopping Center

Comment: B1: This route should be extended to Shore Road, I'd also look into extending this to the Bay Ridge Ferry Pier B4: Extend this route to Rockaway Park in Queens via the Belt Parkway B5: This route should end at Caesars Bay instead of Ulmer Park depot B7: There should finally be one route that covers all of Kings Highway from Brownsville to Bensonhurst so I think that the B7 and B82 should swap western terminals. I also think Ridgewood Intermodal Terminal would be a better place for this route to end than Forest Avenue station. B9: This route should go to Bergen Beach and create a new direct connection from the Q train instead of duplicating the B41 and Q35 to Kings Plaza. It should also be extended down Shore Road to 4th Avenue where the B37 and B63 end. B10: This route is too short, I think it should continue down Ocean Avenue to Kingsborough Community College or Coney Island Hospital. B11: This route should be extended east to the Georgetown Shopping Center in Flatlands, creating a new connection between Avenue K and the 2 train. B12: This route should better connect with the 3 train, the walk to the 3 train can be unsafe at times. B13: I like the streamlining of this route. I just wish there was better north-south bus service between the B13 and B83. B14: Instead of going to the Postal Facility, this route should replace the Q7 to the Rockaway Blvd A train station B15: I like the extension to the L train B16: This route should be cut back to 86th Street R train station, and stay on Fort Hamilton Parkway the whole route. The B35 can cover 13th and 14th Avenues all the way to Bay Ridge. The redesign doesn't fix the amount of unnecessary turns this route makes, and still leaves a gap in north-south bus service to Maimonides Hospital. Shore Road service can be replaced by the B9. B20: The B20 should just travel on Stanley Avenue the whole way, diverting it up to Linden Blvd seems unnecessary. B25: I would love for the B25 to be extended east to the Crescent Street J train station to provide an ADA/Elderly-friendly travel option for eastern Fulton Street B26: Instead of ending at the Ridgewood Bus Terminal, I think this route should end at Fresh Pond/Metropolitan B27: This should be extended to the Red Hook Ferry Terminal B35: This route should go down 13th and 14th Avenues to Bay Ridge instead of Sunset Park. The B40 can serve 39th Street B36: This route should be extended to Kings Plaza.

Comment: The new B5 bus route should serve Caesars Bay. I find it strange that the bus route serves Gateway Mall on the opposite end but not Caesars Bay. More people along the B5/B6 bus route go to Caesars Bay than the B82.. Also people use the B6 to get to BJs shopping center.. To make it fair. The B5 should serve shipping centers Gateway Mall and Caesars Bay on both ends of thr route. Also by removing the Bay 31st Street stop from both the proposed B6 and B82 routes is bad for people leaving Caesars Bay with heavy shopping bags. People use this stop alot and should not be removed especially because alot of elderly and mothers with children use it after leaving Caesars Bay shopping center..

Comment: How come the B11 route - you're talking about eliminating torturous turns - why does the B11 - instead of going down Mcdonald turning left, stopping at Mcdonald and 18th - it is instead turning left, making all sorts of turns, etc. It was amazing it used to stop right at the B8 stop at McDonald and 18th ave and it was much faster.

Comment: B71 bus reroute from Union Street & 7th Avenue to Grand Army Plaza to connect the B and Q train at 7th Avenue station to replace B69 bus along 7th Avenue segments because the R train is too slow and taking too long to wait for the R train

Comment: The B61 overlaps the B81 between Red Hook & Park Slope (as well as the B27 between Red Hook and Smith/9th Street). The B61 should operate from Downtown Brooklyn to Red Hook, with the saved resources being used to operate the B71 along Union Street (ideally to Lower Manhattan). Park Slope - Downtown Brooklyn is already covered by multiple bus and subway lines that are more direct

Comment: We need to bring back a bus on or around Union Street west of GAP. The gap in east-west service between Atlantic and 9th St is too wide. (East of GAP service coverage by the 3 train is enough)

Comment: I regularly ride the B48 between Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, Williamsburg and Greenpoint - My concern is that the B69 does not run as frequently. Transferring will be difficult. Why was this change made? I strongly hope that this could be reversed and that the B48 could continue to serve Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

Comment: I reviewed the draft routing plan for the B69 bus and my comment is that the B69 should be rerouted along its original route in Park Slope along 8th Avenue and Prospect Park West instead of 7th avenue that has a dedicated B67 bus service. This proposed rerouting to the original alignment would convenience senior citizens and others that want to enjoy Prospect Park without having to negotiate the two block walk up from 7th ave to Prospect Park West.

Comment: Do we have exact statistics on how many present-day B15 riders would need to transfer to the B55 to reach JFK Airport? Judging from the route profiles from the Brooklyn Existing Conditions Report, it seems like it wouldn't be too many, but it's a bit hard to tell from the graph.

Bus stop theme: Retain stop location, Safety (ease of access to or environment at stop)
Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Retain existing routing
Comment: The redraft of the B100 route removes several important parts of the route. Most importantly, the new route either removes stops in front of schools or bypasses a school on the route. The new plan removes Westbound stops on Fillmore/Coleman and Fillmore/Burnett, both of which stop right in front of a school. These stops should be maintained to provide an easy and safe commute to any kids going to school. Additionally, switching from Quentin Road to Ave R would bypass a school on Quentin Road, which provides large ridership to the route. The new route bypasses Kings Highway, which is positive as Kings Highway is usually extremely congested and under the current route it takes awhile to go from Ocean Avenue to the train station. For the new route, the westbound bus should stay on Quentin until E16th for the train station, and have the new stop be where the current B2 stop is. Stops on Quentin would be Nostrand, Bedford, and Ocean. After a stop on Quentin/Ocean (providing connection to the B49) the bus would continue straight and terminate at E16. For the Eastbound route, the bus would go from in front of the train station on E16 to Ave R, and then turn up Ocean Avenue and then turn again onto Quentin Road, with its 2nd stop of the route being on Quentin/Bedford. Another minor suggestion: The new plan has the Westbound stop on Ave U/Mill Ave removed, this stop provides easy connection to the B47. The westbound stop on Ave T/Mill should be removed instead.

Comment: The stop spacing on the B62 LTD on Flushing Ave between Navy Street and Washington Ave seems very close together and matches the same stop patterns as regular bus routes.   If the BQE routing is not selected, I would propose reducing the number of stops in this segement of the B62 LTD route.

The B69, B48, and B27 all stop at these bus stops and reduces the need for the B62 LTD to stop at all of them.   There is also the nearby B67 LTD which runs along nearby Park Ave and could serve this catchment area.

Comment: My question is about the B45 - is it going to end on St Johns/Ralph? A lot of people get off of the bus at this end and then travel all the way down. How will we connect? A lot of people connect with the B15 and the B65

Comment: @ALL:  The B55 XT SBS is MTA's "genius move" for many Brooklyn neighborhoods...of course, the B15 riders will not be happy...and that route should stay put at JFK.

Comment: B103: Instead of duplicating two other routes to New Lots Avenue, this route should go to Queens (either JFK Airport or Rockway Blvd A train station) via East 105th Street, Flatlands Avenue, Crescent Street, Eldert Lane, and Linden Blvd. This would connect JFK Airport with Canarsie and Spring Creek Towers as well as the busy Flatbush/Nostrand Junction. Q8: This should be extended to Brookdale Hospital Q35: There should also be a bus from Rockaway Park to the Q train, my B4 extension addresses this. Q51: This should be extended to LIJ Valley Stream. Q54: This route should travel down Metropolitan Avenue in Brooklyn east of Marcy Avenue instead of Grand Street. Q55: Awesome idea! Q58: Awesome idea! Q68: This should be extended to Rikers Island until it is closed. I also think that it should serve the shopping center on Northern Blvd and 48th Street. Q98: Awesome idea! There should be a stop for LeFrak City though. Q109: I'd cut this back on the west end to Cross Bay Blvd, and let the B14 handle the rest.

Comment: I think that some routes need a bit of a touch up I think that the B3 can be sent to Mill Basin to help out the B100, and the B9 can take over it?s existing route on Ave U. As for the B16 it would be better off Extending it to Medgar Evers College so that they can have a connection to the 2, 3, 4, and 5 lines and it can terminate at the Medgar Evers College Campus, and the Clarkson Ave Corridor can be covered by a revised B48 route. The B35 on the other hand should be an SBS to JFK Airport so that Sunset Park Riders can get a one seat Ride to JFK. A Local Variant could help make Local Stops to JFK from Kensington on the Church Ave Corridor.

Comment: The B3 should be extended west along Cropsey Avenue to pass the VA Hospital and then to 4 Avenue/ 92 St to transfer with the S53, S93 & S79 routes to improve interborough travel to Staten Island.  Right now passengers from Bergen Beach and surrouding areas have to take the B3 route to the B1 route or take the B9 route to another crosstown route to later connect with the S53, S93 & S79 bus routes.

Comment: Agree with Kevin. B2 serves Marine Park better than the B100. It could be extended on the east to Mill Basin to cover the B100. You on,y chose to keep the B100 over the B2 because the city subsidizes the B100. The riders should be your first concern, not your budget.

Comment: Wherever possible, if there will be new stops, can you please also consider creating places for riders to sit while they’re waiting? I have also heard from neighbors that not having a place to sit, especially when there are long stretches between buses, can be hard for people who have difficulty standing.

Comment: Taking the B83 off Van Siclen increases the north south service gap between Penn and Fountain. The B83 was rerouted in 1975 to Van Siclen as a compromise, because you wouldn’t listen to CB5 who at that time wanted a new route between Jamaica Ave and Spring Creek Towers between Penn and Fountain. If you do that, then you can straighten the B83.

(Granted, anybody can go to the MTA website and see the proposal, but it would be good to give Ridgewood residents a chance to comment on these restructurings).

Comment: Your goal will not be reached because eliminating bus stops is based on faulty methodology. Buses skip lightly utilized stops anyway, so no time is saved by eliminating them. Yet you are targeting lightly utilized stops. Calling it bus stop balancing or consolidation is still bus stop elimination.

Also, you eliminated Hastings St in 2006, and had to return it because the neighboring Falmouth St became overloaded with 100 beachgoers on beach days. Both stops are at the beach entrance. Don't you learn from your mistakes?

Comment: It makes no sense to eliminate Beaumont and Dover St stops. Both stops are very lightly utilized and no bus makes both stops on the same trip. They usually skip both stops anyway, so nothing is gained. Moving the stops to Coleridge on the southbound side is also a bad idea because two new trees were just planted where you will place the new bus stop. Their nearside stop has a driveway which is not optimal for a bus stop.

I have offered to work with you and help you develop a better plan, but you rejected my offer and declined to meet with me. All you are doing is turning one bus trips into two bus trips and two bus trips into three bus trips when you should be doing the opposite as I did in 1978.

Comment: Removing the B15 bus from Lewis Ave, is not the answer to the re-design plan for the part of Brooklyn, doing so presents an extreme hardship for the senior & disabled residents & commuters who use the B15 along Lewis Ave to connect to the Mrytle & Broadway station for the J,M&Z train, as well as those who use the B15 to the vicinity of Woodhull & Walgreens which is the nearest pharmacy, was a poll taken from the community, it appears it was not, it would also be a safety issue forcing seniors to walk to Throop Ave, or to Malcolm X Blvd in order to get a bus to take them to the Broadway vicinity. Please reconsider this plan & leave the B15 route in place. Thank you.

Comment: Removing the B15 on Lewis Ave. would be a major hardship for riders who use this route to connect to the trains at Mrytle & Brodway, especially in the early mornings. This route is used by many in this area, it would also be a major hardship for the many seniors who use the B15 on Lewis to travel to the vicinity of Broadway for daily routines such as appointments at Woodhull Hospital, other Dr. appointments, medication pick up, Walgreens & other pharmacies, banking & shopping. There are three senior residence along Lewis Ave. The community request not to have the B15 moved from the Lewis Ave. corridor.

Comment: Its not just about having bus service but connectivity and having one trip service and at most two trip and reduce transfers. Although it may be a bit redundant, it provides service on Cortelyou rd and can be an alternative to the B67 when there is congestion.

Comment: Removal of the B69 is not the best option, this revokes that one stop seat from Kensington to 7th Avenue, with the B67 not even having any increased service it will not end well. If anything bring the B69 all the way to Kensington like it did previously so that it can have service connecting with other lines instead of ending in Windsor Terrace in the middle of nowhere.

Comment: As a resident of St. John's Pl. I can testify to how dangerous having a two-way bus route between Rogers and New York Ave. is. Buses get stuck constantly because there isn't enough room for two buses to pass. I have seen fights break out among motorists stuck behind buses that cant pass eachother. There is also a "shared" bike lane on these two blocks, which makes the situation even more dangerous for cyclists. According to NYC Crash Mapper, there have been 23 crashes involving cyclist or pedestrians on these two blocks, with 33 injured persons. Rerouting to Sterling Pl. makes the most sense since the bus continues down Sterling until Washington Ave.

Comment: Having the B13 provide access to Highland Park was a smart idea, but you should consider extending the B12 or B10 there too. The Eastbound route can take use the dedicated bus left turn lane on Jamaica Av to get on Fanchion Pl. At Highland Blvd it takes a right and then gets on the ramp to the Jackie Robinson. It would then take take Exit 2, and terminate near the parking lot along Vermont Pl or Highland Blvd. Heading westbound on Highland Blvd, the bus would turn left onto Vermont Pl and then right onto Jamaica Av to continue on the rest of its route.

Support the B46 going to Woodhull Hospital for better layover space, wanted this change during the SBS conversion

B53 route doesn’t make a lot of sense since the B46/B47 already connects to the B32 downtown, creating another route just to do the same thing as the B46/B47 seems inefficient

Potential issues with 15-minute headways for those on the B46/B47 who need to connect to the B53

Comment: The Draft Plan looks good so far, but what is the point in splitting the B60 into 2 sections when you could simply just have both the B60 AND the B66 run together, but into different terminals south? I think that would help benefit riders, instead of having to get off at Broadway Junction (which is dangerous mind you), and can just wait for 2 buses that are simply IDENTICAL to each other on Wilson Av, Johnson Av, Montrose Av & Meserole St, and South 4th St. I would like it if the B60 did not get cut in half, because it has helped riders a lot.

Understood about the intent of consolidating bus corridors — one concern we have heard in the community specific to moving the B15 is the  number of schools, churches, and large apartment buildings, including many NYCHA locations, that exist along Lewis Avenue and are serviced by this route — not to mention the library on Macon Street and Lewis.

Comment: The B55XT should run along Linden Blvd non-stop to JFK with the B15 continuing to serve JFK. Brooklyn needs 4 routes to JFK, not only one. It is unfair to take away the direct B15 connection to JFK to serve new neighborhoods.   Thousands of people chose to work at JFK because of that direct connection. You help some to hurt others. That is not a good plan when you could be helping everyone.

Comment: Actually, Methodist is at 6th Street (and the B61/81 would run on 9th Street). So it's 3 blocks from 9th Street, but 6 blocks from Union Street. To have all of this duplication just to save 3 blocks of walking (when a Union Street crosstown route would save much walking for many more people) doesn't make sense

Comment: If the B36 needs more service to serve the Sheepshead Bay Station, you should restore the short turns from Avenue U to the station that you operated years ago, not reroute the B44 SBS to CI Hospital. You need to reopen E 15 Street so the B36 can stop in front of the Station so the short turns could turn around. Adding articulated buses to Avenue Z where there are already three bus lines will greatly increase traffic congestion where there is congestion already.

Comment: What is your rationale for flipping the B49 and B68 terminals? Brighton Beach Avenue is heavily congested westbound between Brighton 13 and CI Ave. We don’t need added buses there. The B49 will be no faster than it is today and it will be more difficult for Kingsborough students since some routes transfer to the B49, but not the B68. We don’t need more buses making difficult turns at Brighton Beach and Coney Island Avenue. The intersection is congested enough.

Your solution to reroute it to 60 St makes it more difficult for Bay Ridge residents to reach Maimonides, not easier. It was already rejected by CB 12 in 2004. There needs to be a new route along 13 and 14 Avenue to replace it.

Comment: The B16 is not being straightened because it still isn’t passing Maimonides Hospital which CB 12 has been asking for for almost 50 years in 1975 and again in 2004.The MTA’s plan to reroute the B16 to 60 St was rejected by CB12 in 2004 because 60 St is more congested than 56/56 St, so the proposed rerouting will slow down the bus and make it more unreliable rather than speed it up. It will also lengthen the walk from the B16 to Maimonides by three or four blocks.See my proposed reroutings along Ft Hamilton Parkway and 13/14 Avenue here:Take a screenshot of this chat.

Comment: passengers. Since this section of Gerritsen Avenue has virtually no streetside parking, bus drivers have unfettered visibility and can (and do) bypass stops when no passengers are there. If a stop in this area must be eliminated, I propose eliminating the stop at Avenue S and Gerritsen Avenue. Those inconvenienced will have the option of using the stop at Fillmore Avenue, which is also serviced by the B100, providing the consolation of increased service.I urge you to preserve the B31 stop at Avenue T and Gerritsen Avenue (northbound), as it improves accessibility for the area’s elderly and disabled at no cost to the route’s efficiency or travel time.Thank you for your consideration.

Comment: B3 RouteStuart Street (westbound) and Burnett Street (eastbound) at Avenue UThe proposed elimination of the bus stops at Avenue U and Stuart Street (westbound) and Avenue U and Burnett Street (eastbound) poses a potential safety risk to students at Marine Park Junior High School, and the hundreds of families who take buses to access Marine Park’s eastern amenities, including ball fields, meadows and basketball courts at Stuart Street. On paper, the difference between the next nearest stops - Avenue U and Gerritsen Avenue -  may only be, approximately, two blocks. In actuality, the journey between the stops includes a bustling commercial intersection and multiple commercial driveways and parking lots, with poor sightlines for drivers that puts pedestrians at increased risk. Those most regularly impacted by the change will be the hundreds of students attending Marine Park J.H.S. who rely on the B3 to travel from Mill Basin, Sheepshead Bay, and farther. Currently, these students are able to walk along

Comment: B31 RouteGerritsen Avenue and Avenue T (northbound)The proposed elimination of the stop at Gerritsen Avenue and Avenue T (northbound) reduces accessibility while providing virtually no positive impact to bus travel time. This stop’s elimination leaves the next closest stops being Avenue U and Avenue S. While increasing the distance by this amount (one avenue’s length) between stops may be justified on a busier route, its elimination burdens the area’s elderly and/or disabled residents while offering no meaningful benefit.For residents who live near this section of the B31, the route is the only one that offers access to an ADA-compliant, elevator-equipped subway station (Kings Highway B/Q). For those residents, walking an additional avenue’s length is a burden. Meanwhile, the B31 is already a speedy route and is rarely, if ever, burdened by overcrowding. Most who board northbound are going to the Kings Highway subway station, so drivers have little reason to make stops unless picking up

Comment: Concerned about the changes being proposed to the B10. This buses serve Kensington in a big way. People that cannot manage the subway, elderly people, disabled people, going to Manhattan, downtown bkln, medical offices, the courts, etc. It doesn't make any sense to me why the 103 will not serve these areas. It seems like the changes were not fully thought out, the community was not included, etc. Whole foods is very popular with many people, that is the only bus that gets people there.

MTA PR machine acts like it scaled cold fusion and solved the climate crisis.

Comment: The BM3 & BM4 are to be cut to rush hours only.  These express buses should be expanded not cut.  These are the ONLY alternatives for people incl elderly  those with disabilities and people who cannot or afraid to use the subway to get to Manhattan from Ditmas Park and Kensington.  Yes, mot many ride it on off hours.  However, the schedules have been cut so much that they aren’t convenient.  A better fix rather than cutting service is to run smaller buses on off hours,  If these buses are cut, the communities they now serve will be left without adequate service.

Comment: Please explain the reasoning behind re-routing the B62 line down McGuiness Boulevard and taking it off Manhattan Avenue? It makes no sense. Many people rely on that bus going down Manhattan Avenue for food shopping, medical visits, and students busing to school. Additionally, the bus stops align with the train stations for transfers that best serves the public. If your looking to relieve traffic congestion in this area you should undue former governor Cuomo's bus route traffic change where the bus now turns onto Manhattan Avenue from Nassau Avenue rather than formally turning onto Manhattan Avenue from Bedford Avenue. While this change was to help passengers transfer from bus to train in anticipation of the closure of the L train for 2 years, the L train closure was averted and this traffic pattern change should have been undone. The MTA should act in the best interest of the public and your proposed changes do meet this requirement.

Comment: We need the bus stops to remain where they are. You just looked at a bus map and decided to arbitrarily eliminate every other bus stop with no consideration of what is at that bus stop. You are turning all local routes into Limited routes without providing local service. You will lose ridership, not gain any. People with walkers, and there are many, cannot walk further to bus stops.

Comment: B15 on Lewis ave. It does not seems like consideration for the seniors was taken into account in this plan. There are 3 senior residences along that corridor. These are at: Quincy st, between Lewis and Stuyvesant; DeKalb and Lewis; Pulaski and Lewis. You also have people at 6:10am every morning taking the B15 to Broadway to transfer to the J train. To ask seniors to walk to Throop to access Broadway, where the only big box pharmacy on this end is located, is unacceptable. Seniors also access Woodhull hospital via Lewis ave. The Utica ave train station is dangerous.

Ie the bus (to Astoria) could continue down Jackson Ave and then turn onto Queens Plaza N before heading into Astoria.   This would facilitate more connections to Queens with the N/W/7.

Comment: For B62 LTD in the Astoria & Downtown Brooklyn directions, I'd propose routing the B62 on the BQE from Tillary Street to Classon Ave & Flushing Ave.    The B62 is a limited route, however it has a large number of stops on Flushing Ave (Gold/Tillary, Navy St, Oxford St, Clermont St, and Washington St) which are served by the B69, B48, and B27 local routes.   There is also the nearby B67 LTD which runs along nearby Park Ave and could servce this catchment area.

This bus route is a crucial connection for areas of high development and can connect areas of interest - improving the service speed and time would greatly improve usability.

Comment: In the B38 downtown Brooklyn direction, I'd strongly suggest restoring the stop at Dekalb Ave & Carlton Ave.    DeKalb Ave in this area has a large number of new restaurants, bars, and new businesses, as well as the weekly farmers market.   The B38 at this former stop provides the best way of connecting customers to trains in downtown Brooklyn.

A possible solution could be to move the Dekalb & Portland Street stop nearby (half of the catchment area is in Fort Greene Park) to DeKalb & Cumberland Street to improve accessibility and access to places on DeKalb Ave as mentioned above.

Comment: The new Brooklyn Bus Redesign network inconveniences many students traveling from home to the Leon M Goldstein high school or Kingsborough Community College in Manhattan Beach. Many riders take the B49 to the high school/college, but it has now been disconnected from the high school/college area (Manhattan Beach), requiring greater travel time and a transfer in their journey, which some already have a previous transfer between subway and bus. This is a major issue for students as student MetroCards only allow for one free transfer. Additionally, the only routes to the high school/college travel in the same direction which is not very useful. The current changes with the B49 and B68 cause more issues (greater travel time and adding transfers) for students than solutions to problems. The existing B49 routing should be kept in a way that allows for students to make the same direct and fast journeys.

Comment: With regard to the B1 bus in Bay Ridge. There is a large population of students and faculty who are traveling to Ft. Hamilton High School on a daily basis. Many of these people change from either the B1 or the R train to the B16, and overburden the B16 on the last mile of its route. It is not an unusual sight to see a crush loaded B16 bus arrivingat 4th avenue, with a large mass of people waiting for it at 4th avenue in order to make the trip to Ft. Hamilton High School. Furthermore, the B1 faces continuous difficulties with making a left turn into 5th avenue, followed by a right turn onto 87th and then another right turn onto 4th avenue to reach the terminal on the east side of 4th avenue and 86th Street. This delays people who are transferring to the R train or Staten Island buses at part of their trip. 87th street is a narrow street plagued with parked cars, and the turn from 5th avenue to 87th street is an acute angle turn which is difficult to execute, especially if (as is often the case) someone is double parked at the corner. If the B1 terminal were extended to Fort Hamilton High School, most of these problems would be eliminated or extremely mitigated. The B1 could, instead of needing to make a left turn move at 5th avenue across 86th, continue across 4th avenue and make the eastbound stop at the present B16 stop on the northeast corner of 4th avenue and 86th street. This would not significantly impact the distance people would need to traverse on foot to make transfers and reduce the time people need to wait to reach 4th avenue and 86th Street to make their required transfer. The bus could then continue down 86th Street to Shore Road, in front of Fort Hamilton High School in order to terminate. The bus could then make a right turn onto 83rd street at Colonial Road and a left turn at 86th and Colonial (a significantly less busy intersection than 5th avenue and 86th Street) to begin an eastbound run. This change to the B1 terminal seems like a common sense solution to improve reliability, customer service and throughput of the B1 bus without making any significant sacrifices. Please take it under consideration.

The B44 SBS route would provide access to Coney Island Hospital for Nostrand Avenue passengers north of Avenue X.   A few added B44SBS stops could be added at Nostrand Avenue/Avenue V and or Nostrand Avenue/Avenue W plus at Nostrand Avenue/Avenue Z.   Also you consider eliminating the B74 route and placing all of those resources to the a revised and extended B36 route.    The B44SBS should also be extended from Avenue Z/Ocean Parkway to Kingsbrough Community College or a second branch of the B44SBS from Avenue Z/Coney Island Avenue to the college.

Comment: The residents of Saint Johns Place support the rerouting of the westward B45 off Saint Johns Place between Rogers and New York Avenue.  SJP is too narrow of a street to shoulder all the two way traffic that the city diverts east and west onto it.  It is a small residential street and the B45 is constantly being stuck side by side because they don't have enough space to pass eachother.  Travel time on the B45 is significantly delayed because of the congestion on SJP between Rogers and New York Avenue.  Drivers speed and drive erratically to get by the buses causing dangerous conditions all of us.

Comment: I don't like the idea of rerouting the B43 from Tompkins to Marcus Garvey. I live on Gates and Tompkins. It is already a no-subway zone. Putting the B43 on MG would involve a hardship of walking two very long blocks to get there (these are not short blocks) and the block between Throop and Marcus Garvey is dangerous. Additionally, I often take the B43 to Fulton to take the C train; walking all the way to Marcus Garvey would mean I am redoubling my efforts because then I would need to walk back in the other direction....The B43 doesn't come so often anyway. Sometimes I will walk alongside Tompkins on the way to Fulton until the bus comes; also MG already has the B15.

Comment: It's a great idea to reroute the B13 back on Cypress Avenue but a bus stop is needed in the center of the eastern Ridgewood neighborhood at Clover Place/Cypress Avenue (both directions). You could then remove the southbound bus stop at Cabot Road/Cypress Avenue and move it to Cooper Avenue/Cypress Avenue as is the proposed northbound bus stop. Another issue with the B13 is it should be extended further north to Flushing Avenue and then Flushing Avenue to at least Broadway to serve the Woodhull Hospital plus B13 passengers need access to more Brooklyn routes. The B13 route needs to connect with more areas of Brooklyn to be successful

The Q109 would then provide needed bus service to the Linden Center Mall for City Line & Ozone Park residents.

Comment: Please consider extending the B82 Local and B82 SBS route further east via the Belt Pkwy. east non-stop to Cross Bay Blvd. to terminate along Redding St./ Pitkin Av. which is very close to Cross Bay Blvd. The eastbound B82/B82 SBS after exiting the Belt Pkwy. at Cross Bay Blvd. the bus could make a left turn traveling north and then make another left turn at 149th Av. and then travel west via 149th Av. or via Albert Rd. to Redding St. At Redding St. the B82/B82 SBS could then make a right turn and travel north to a new bus stop terminal layover area could be placed along the east side of Redding St. between Albert Rd. and Pitkin Av. It should be noted that there's currently a two -hour metered parking section along that side of Redding St. which is not well utilized as the nearby shopping center along Cross Bay Blvd. already has a large free parking lot for their customers plus on the opposite west side of Redding Street that side has free parking with no parking restrictions. Additionally, the two hotels on the west side of Redding Street are now being used as a shelter and mostly I've observed bicycles parked in the driveway west side area of those two hotels rather than cars, therefore, I don't think they'll be an issue with NYCDOT replacing that metered parking area with a bus terminal stop. Extending the B82/B82SBS to Cross Bay Blvd. would expand more interborough access between Brooklyn and Queens connecting the B82/B82SBS route(s) to the Q51SBS, Q52SBS, Q53SBS and Q21 routes. Depending upon funding and ridership counts each B82 and each B82 SBS bus wouldn't all need to be extended further east from Pennsylvania Av. to Cross Bay Blvd. but every other B82 local bus and every other B82SBS bus at first to see how well utilized this route extension is.

Comment: Extend the B15 route one block east from Linden Boulevard/Drew Street to Emerald Street/Linden Boulevard and terminate the B15 route along Emerald Street between Linden Boulevard and Loring Avenue. This would help provide bus service to the new large apartment complex located at 2858 Linden Boulevard plus also serve the Loring Estates housing development located nearby along Emerald Street. Amber Street between Loring Avenue and Stanley Avenue.

Comment: Under this proposed plan you have five routes al terminating at the same location (Cropsey Avenue/Bay 37th Street) in Gravesend Brooklyn. The B5 Limited, B6 Local, B6 Limited, B82 local & B82SBS routes as well as the b3 route nearby as well. Under this proposed plan there's still no way to get to the VA Hospital and Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (for connection to Staten Island buses) from Queens with two bus routes. Since the Q51 terminates at the Gateway Center Mall with a transfer connection to the new B5 Limited route, please look into changing the western end of the B5 Limited route to not terminate at Cropsey Avenue/Bay 37th Street but instead to travel west along Cropsey Avenue & Poly Place to the VA Hospital and then to 86th Street/4th Avenue, or 92nd Street/4th Avenue, Brooklyn via 7th Avenue, 92nd Street, 4th Avenue and 86th Street. Also. the B6 Limited as well could be extended to the VA Hospital & 86th Street/4th Avenue as well via the same routing, as the B6 Limited transfers with the Q8 also from Queens. Another alternate option to revising the B6 Limited would be of course to extend the Q8 further west to the Brookdale Hospital as was previously planned which would then provide transfer between the Q8 and B8 routes. The B82 SBS, B82 local and B6 local routes should be sufficient amount of bus service for the Cropsey Avenue/Bay 37th Street terminal. Regarding the Ceasars Bay Shopping Center (i.e. loop around Shore Parkway & Cropsey Avenue) currently being done by all of the B6 buses but being proposed under this plan to be done by the B82 local buses should instead be done by both the B82 local and B6 local buses and maybe even the B3 buses as well for a greater frequency or possibly the Caesars Bay Shopping Center could subsidize for a free shuttle bus that could continuously serve the Shore Parkway/Cropsey Avenue loop while the B6 local, B82 local and B82SBS then only serve Cropsey Avenue/Bay 37th Street.

Comment: Regarding the B67 comment extending to Coney Island. I know the B68 travels to Coney Island.  Possibly the B68 could be extended further west to Gowanus or Red Hook to transfer with the B67 route as well as some other routes even though the B68 might parallel part of the B61 route as traveling to Coney island by bus for ADA passengers is important.

Comment: The B14 route also be rerouted slightly at Linden Boulevard to travel along Drew Street between Linden Boulevard and Loring Avenue instead of Eldert Lane to serve more Spring Creek passengers with a bus that serves the "A" subway line. The B14 route should also be rerouted from Dumont Avenue to Livonia Avenue between Junius Street/Powell Street and Mother Gaston Boulevard to have the B4 bus could serve the "L" and # "2" Subway lines at the Livonia Avenue (w/b)/Junius Street (e/b) subway stations

Comment: Since you're taking the B13 off of Cypress Hills Street please add the Q67 route to the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Project and extend the Q67 route along Cooper Avenue & Cypress Hills Street to Jamaica Avenue/Cresecnt Street and then have the Q67 route follow B13 routing along Crescent Street to the Euclid Avenue Subway Station.  The B13 could then be rerouted at Liberty Avenue/Conduit Boulevard to instead travel along the Conduit Boulevard between Liberty Avenue and Atlantic Avenue to and from Logan Street/Atlantic Avenue.  Northbound from Logan Street/Atlantic Avenue the B13 could travel along Logan Street to Fulton Street, left at Fulton Street  to Hale Avenue, right at Hale Avenue traveling north along Hale Avenue into Force Tube Avenue  to Jamaica Avenue then on proposed route along Highland Boulevard.  Southbound B13 would follow from Highland Boulevard/Jamaica Avenue making a left turn at Jamaica Avenue and a right turn at Norwood Avenue and proceed south along Norwood Avenue, to Fulton Street.  the southbound B13 could ten make a left turn at Fulton Street and a right turn at Logan Street and travel south along Logan Street to Atlantic Avenue.  The southbound B13 could then make a left turn at Atlantic Avenue traveling into the Conduit Boulevard back to Crescent Street/Liberty Avenue to proceed on its proposed route.  The B13 route would then serve the Norwood Avenue "J" Subway Line and provide closer access to the new Chestnut Commons housing complex located along Atlantic Avenue/Chestnut Street provding those residents access to the Norwood Avenue "J" subway line or to the "A & "C" line via a short B13 bus ride plus gives access to all of the restaurants located near and west of Logan Street/Atlantic Avenue for other B13 riders.

Comment: How would anyone know that the B39 exists for ADA customers when it operates every thirty minutes most of the time while a subway operates more frequentlt than that.  Are ADA customers in the winter supposed to wait in the freezing cold for thirty minutes for a bus?  By extending the B39 route further into Manhattan to Sping Street would increase ridership thus with heavier ridership would come more frequency for those ADA customers using it for the purpose you describe to access the Marcy Avenue ADA Station.

Comment: To the respondant.  Me and my Mom have also taken the Q8 most of our lives and know the route well.  The main area of concern is losing the stops at 77th Street/101st Avenue and 75th Street/101st Avenue(w/b) & 75th Street/Liberty Avenue(e/b) as there are many seniors and students in the area that rely on those stops so I am suggesting restoring those stops under their plan instead of suggesting replacing Q8 local service with Q8 limited stop service.  Also under their current plan eliminating the eastbound 94th Street Q8 stop will have eastbound Q8 passengers crossing back over Woodhaven Blvd. to transfer to northbound Q11,Q21,Q52 & Q53 routes so that eastbound Q8 bus stop at 94th Street/101st Avenue must be restored plus there is also a traffic light there anyway stopping the bus. Eliminating the westbound Q8 bus stop at Woodhaven Boulevard/101st Avenue will have passengers transferring to and from the northbound Q11,Q21, Q52 & Q53 routes crossing Woodhaven Boulevard from the 94th Street stop so the westbound Q8 bus stop at Woodhaven Boulvard must also be restored plus there is a traffic light there anyway stopping the bus.  The westbound Q8 bus stop at 104th Street and eastbound Q8 bus stop at 105th Street must be restored as it serves the ozone park Senior Center.  If they wish they could eliminate the next stop of 107th Street(w/b) 106th Street(e/b) in liue of restoring the westbound Q8 bus stop at 104th Street and eastbound Q8 bus stop at 105th Street.   The rest of the route is pretty much okay.

Comment: Passengers on the B6/B6 Limited are already used to the B6 route connecting to the Caesar's Bay Shopping Center along Shore Parkway and should not be changed. I imagine the Shore Parkway stops allow eastbound passengers to board a westbound B6 bus and remain on the bus for the next eastbound B6 trip toward Canarsie and East New York.

Comment: Hello, I would like to leave a comment that I’m opposed to the B49 route being changed so that it will no longer  stop at Kingsborough Community College. I’m a Kingsborough CC librarian who commutes via the Q train and there will be no other bus that will connect the Q to Kingsborough if this is taken away. It’s very difficult to walk from Sheepshead Bay (where I usually transfer to the B49) to Manhattan Beach in rain or snow. It involves crossing pedestrian bridges which can be very slippery. Today, I was speaking to several nursing students in orientation who live in Flatbush, BK who will also be losing their means of commuting to Kingsborough if the B49 route changes. In summary, it will make it harder for employees and students in Central Brooklyn or on the Q/B line to make it to Kingsborough Community College. I strongly ask you to reconsider this change. Sincerely, Carrie Jedlicka, [email protected]

Comment: Thank you Evan, Andrey, and Serena for addressing my comment. I’m glad that the B68 will provide a point of connection to the Q but of course this will involve longer travel time further south into Brooklyn. (And this route change will still be a barrier for students who exclusively take the B49 straight to the college.) Please consider leaving the B49 route the same. Thank you!

Comment: B43 is a very heavy bus route because of Prospect Park train station, which will increase because Flushing ave el is shut because of construction. Ridership is max - seniors and people with disabilities. Ridership is very high. Needs a second bus to run on that route, its dangerously crowded.

Comment: The B49 needs to connect to sheepshead bay train station. Sheepshead bay will be getting an elevator, and students coming from Kingsborough will need to use that train station to get to Crown Heights, Bed Stuy, etc. The B68 needs to go to Coney Island for all the seniors. The B49 cannot handle all of the seniors and people with disabilities who use that route

Comment: B103 is a very important bus, which a lot of disabled and seniors use. It is important to maintain the connection point at Church ave so people can transfer to the B55 express bus. That transfer point is very important.

Comment: This B53 combines several segments but doesn't really come up all that useful since most people taking existing routes it replaces are using it to get to other segments not part of the B53. For example, the ridership on the B46 along Broadway is not traveling solely along Broadway, many are looking for points along Utica Avenue. Same thing with the Q24, most people on Broadway are using the bus to/from places further east of Broadway Junction. The service is also much less frequent.

The B32, and parts of the B24, B46, and Q24 do not need to be merged. The services should ideally run as follows:

1. B32 from Williamsburg to Court Square, like the existing B32 except maybe run buses via Manhattan Avenue north of Wythe/Meserole or Nassau Avenues

2. B24 from Greenpoint Ave & West Street to 46th Street (7) subway station via Greenpoint Ave, and potentially via 48th Street as well to/from Northern Boulevard & Broadway.

3. B46 and Q24 routes are left alone.

Comment: The B49 needs to connect to accessible stations. For example, when Sheepshead bay elevator is installed, it will increase demand on that route by seniors and people with disabilities. So for that reason the B49 must continue to Kingsborough, and the B68 must stay on coney island ave

We need to work on congestion over there. The cars double park. This bus connects to a lot of accessible train stations.

Comment: so to improve service, you have to remove stops, right? So customers must walk further, rather than having the bus stop close by. What of seniors and others who can’t walk? My wife had a hip replacement and can’t walk far. 4 blocks apart is “quite a distance [to walk], especially for a distance.” Can we make the buses faster by cutting traffic instead? And forcing more transfers is an issue

Comment: The B69 bus is ending at 20th st. There is nothing there. Where the 61 ends - could we extend this bus to 62dn st train? It would connect to the B9 and the next subway accessible station. This will help connect communities. With the B8 is right near the ADAPT center for people with disabilities. A second bus along 16th ave would take some of the stress off

Comment: the perimeter of Marine Park and never encounter a driveway or need to cross a street (unless using the Burnett Street stop, which has a crosswalk, traffic light, and no parking - providing them ultimate visibility to drivers). The new plan is a clear and potent safety risk - almost the entirety of the additional route they must walk is parking lots and driveways (some poorly and perhaps illegally marked). It also forces them to cross intersections such as Avenue U and Stuart Street, where a single turning vehicle causes traffic backups, leading frustrated drivers to act recklessly. That is to say nothing of Gerritsen Avenue itself, where trucks serving commercial businesses frequently block emergency lanes and make difficult turns. I have included a map of the area that demonstrates the hazards young bus riders would be forced to encounter if these stops are eliminated. I urge you to preserve  the stops at Stuart Street and Burnett Street.

I have seen many times where people are bunched together to board a bus and they jockey for position and fight one another to get on the bus first. It will also end up taking more time for the greater number of people to board so where is the time savings? I believe it will end up in a wash. (eliminating stops)

Comment: The proposed plan for the B82/B82-SBS removes the last section of the route at the Coney Island/Stillwell end. I can't really speak for the entire section because it's not my actual neighborhood, only near it, however I don't believe it would be a good idea to remove the Coney Island/Stillwell terminal itself and don't suggest, recommend, nor support the removal of that particular stop. That terminal connects multiple trains and several buses at a big station and the trains are from different lines as well. Communters really count on that kind of thing. While I technically shouldn't really be affected by this change, it can easily cause a problem for me. In explanation, my coat was once caught stuck in a crevice while on the B82 causing me to miss my connection to the N train at Kings Highway. It took me all the way from there to the middle of that Cropsey section proposed to be removed before the coat could get unstuck, and it was actually another kind passager who helped. I believe you can imagine the trouble I would have had if the B82 didn't stop at the Coney Island/Stillwell terminal. I think the proposal can also cause a one-point transfer to become a two-point transfer because commuters on the B82 who use the Coney Island/Stillwell terminal to connect to the train or another bus there can no longer do so.

Comment: There's request to extend B100 to serve 65th ST and extend B7 to harway as well as request for service on Ave P. My suggestion? Extend both to serve those areas. B7 can use Coney Island Ave to turn onto Ave P serving it while heading to and turning onto Stillwell heading down Stillwell towards harway passing by the school Lafayette and park. Students, residents, and parkgoers served as well as D train and B1 communters on 86th St. The kings highway cogestion on the 82 can probably be alleviated as least a little as well because of the sevice on Ave P. Seems like a win all around for me.

Comment: Absolutely agree with extention of B7 route down Kings Highway. You know how crowded the 82 is?especially during peak times? Me and many others can't even get on the bus and have to wait for the next more than once. Extention of the B7 down Kings Highway will help with that.

Comment: The B16 and B9 could be consolidated here and this stop would be for the school people and the market goers, even for those going to the new commercial buildings. I understand the issue would be the spacing with the N train transfer point a block and a half away. Perhaps don't consolate the two buses and move the B16 stop right in front of the N train a block or so closer between 60th and 61st right on Fort Hamilton. That spot serves the school, shoppers, and transfers to both the N train and B9.

Comment: I really hope something will be done to carry out a major improvement of the B68 line. The so-called service is terrible. Waiting times can be 30 minutes or longer. The on-line information about bus arrival time is usually wrong. After long waits a crowd of buses will arrive - anywhere from 3 to 7 buses. This happens at the Bartel-Pritchard bus stop.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Approve of new route proposal
Comment: The plan looks really good! Nicely drawn maps, too. I like how the B44 and B44SBS will both run on Rogers and Nostrand Avenues, and that the B49 scoots over to provide service on New York Avenue. I like how the B10/B43 bus stop on Empire Blvd and Rogers Avenue will move eastbound across the street so it's not in the gas station anymore, and is close to the SBS stop. I hope this plan provides an opportunity to upgrade the north/south Bedford Avenue bike lanes in the future, since the vehicle lanes will no longer have to be wide enough to accomodate a bus. I do have one concern about the northbound future B44 (currently the B49) local bus service on Rogers Ave between Empire Blvd and Eastern Parkway. The proposed decision to remove the Rogers & Montgomery bus stop seems an unusual choice to me. If I'm understanding the plans correctly, the future B44 local will: Stop at Empire Blvd. (travel 4 blocks) Stop at Carroll St. (travel 1 block) Stop at President St. (travel 2 blocks) Stop at Eastern Pkwy. (travel 2 blocks) Stop at St Johns Pl. (continue up Rogers & Bedford) I understand the goal of removing excess stops, but what's the reason to keep both stops at Carroll and President (which are just one short block apart) but remove the stop at Montgomery, thus creating a four block gap from Empire to Carroll? Wouldn't eliminating Carroll but keeping Montgomery and President provide more even spacing? Alternatively, how about consolidating Montgomery and Carroll to a new stop at Crown and Rogers? Keep in mind that's an uphill walk from Empire Blvd to Eastern Pkwy, so it's a little unfair to have one stretch with four blocks between stops, but then have the next two stops just one block apart. I kindly ask that you revisit the proposed bus stop spacing on Rogers Ave between Empire Blvd and Eastern Pkwy to smooth out the spacing.

Comment: Removal of the B38 LTD route creates a bus desert in the Grover Cleveland and Ridgewood area between Metropolitan and Bleeker. The area cannot be suitably covered by the other existing routes, as they have no overlap with this internal area. Being able to transfer directly with the Q54 is also crucial to commuting, but that is no longer possible without a 15+ minute walk. Please reconsider removing the B38 Limited route.

Comment: Th B15 Bus route Redesign that removes service along Lewis and Marcus Garvey Boulevard is nonsensical! In what appears to be an effort to appease members of this increasingly gentrified stretch of Bedford-Stuyvesant it fails to take into account the at least 5 public/charter schools along this route that over a 2,000 students and their families rely on. Many use this route as a NECESSARY transfer point between the A/C (at Utica Avenue) and J/Z lines (at Flushing Avenue) when they are dropping their children off to school. No one is calculating the financial impact on the local church members, senior citizens, businesses and other community stakeholders who will be negatively impacted by the removal of the B15 bus along the Troy/Lewis Ave. and Marcus Garvey/Albany corridors. This heavily populated route has been in place for well over 50 years!! Removing the B15 along this portion of the route would mean that there would be nearly a mile walk between the next two bus routes (B46 and B43. How is this an improvement that would better serve the community? Even eliminating access to JFK is detrimental for the individuals who rely on this to go to work at the airport! Although there are "public hearings" scheduled, they vast majority of potentially impacted community will not be aware of these proposed changes until it is too late. Please don't remove a critical mode of transportation within a subsection of Bedford-Stuyvesant that already has limited options

Comment: Whoever did this study did not take into consideration various factors. I ride the X27 at 5:30 and 5:48 from Senator Street. At these times, the bus is usually quite full. This is because subway service is still slow at that time and the subway cars are full of homeless people which make riding the subway an unpleasant experience - not to mention that most subway stations in Bay Ridge are still not accessible to the disabled. These busses need to run from at least 5 or 5:30 AM for people that depend on in to get to work. While the busses may not be at full capacity, we are still paying over double the subway fare for this service and it should be augmented not decreased!

Comment: Our office has been hearing a sizeable amount of pushback regarding the rerouting. It seems really extreme. It seems like the goal is to make buses more efficient, but this is extreme and would affect lots of people in this community, especially those who are seniors and who have disabilities. What other measures has the MTA been looking into? How else can we speed up our buses? More bus lanes? outdoor dining?

Comment: The B81 bus route goes from Midwood to Red Hook. I don't know how many people from my community, Red Hook, are going to Midwood. But I know that a lot of people are going to Manhattan, and they presently do not have bus service through the battery tunnel to manhattan. We have to sit in traffic on a very short ride to downtown brooklyn, but we don't want to go there. Hope that this will be remedied in the redesign. There are buses that go through the Queens Midtown tunnel.. I assume they have the same reliability problems. Most red hook residents don't want to go to Midwood.

Comment: I am concerned about proposed changes to the B 46 route. The route should not be shortened! It is a very direct route from Bed Stuy to Williamsburgh and shortening it will eliminate its usefulness for reaching Williamsburgh from my neighborhood. If anything I would urge the MTA to extend the B 46 further north to North 7th St. !! Thank you.

Comment: Like what you're doing with the B7, but it will never work with the turn on Avenue J, because cars are triple and double parked. There's no way you can get a bus through there, seriously.

Comment: One type of route that we didn't see very much of were routes that go along prospect expy to Manhattan. Some go along McDonald ave where Ocean becomes the expy. We have a large quantity of buses that go through our neighborhood but do not serve our neighborhood. Would like to see some of these buses actually serve south slope and winsdor terrace. Sunset Park residents would feel similarly about the buses that go along the BQE into Manhattan. Fundamentally this is an equity issue that should be revisited.

Comment: So according to the proposal for the B15 bus route...the last stop will be Flushing and Bushwick Avenues? A lot of people take the B15 to JFK because they are afraid of.the trains. A huge impact for them.Can we move the B46 to another end/beginning of route. There are many mentally unstable people who get on and harass the passengers and bus driver. This was happening on the B15. Thank you!

Comment: @Tori: For reference, the B23 was a route that ran from Cortelyou & Flatbush to 62nd & New Utrecht via Cortelyou Road and 16th Avenue that was eliminated in June 2010. The Cortelyou Road portion is covered by the B81 under the proposed plan, but I believe he is asking for coverage on 16th Avenue. Kevin can clarify is that is the case

Comment: I forget if I ever mentioned it in one of the previous meetings, but I believe that the Stanley Avenue route that I proposed (from Canarsie out to City Line) should run down East 105th Street to end by Seaview Avenue

Comment: Hello- second comment- suggestion that there should be a bus that runs from prospect park south (by the lake) area along Fort Hamilton Parkway to the D subway line at the 9th avenue station. This area is becoming very popular as the area continues to grow and there does not seem to be a direct way to travel to the park from this subway station. Thank you for accepting my comment.

Comment: CB3 Brooklyn has been designated a Naturally Occurring Retirement District (NORC) because of our very high senior population. Forcing seniors and disabled residents to walk further for bus service is a total disservice to our community.

Comment: One of the unique aspects of our district is that developers don't need to build garages because Bed Stuy is considered a transit-rich district. With this redesign, Bed stuy may lose this designation and developers may need to build garages, which would add more cars to the streets

Comment: Please see some suggestions regarding redesigning Express Bus BM1 in Brooklyn: 1) Sometimes the bus on the schedule doesn?t show up. It looks like there is no substitute for the absent driver. This makes us wait for another 20-60 minutes. Please change that system. Maybe you have some idea of the dispatcher system that can reassign BM bus numbers from one route to another (like it happens in the subway) in case some bus routes are extremely late or not on the line, and another route accidentally drives one by one. 2) If you check the places where people are waiting for the Express bus, they are usually located in the middle of nowhere. It can be half of the street near some building construction. It can be just a street in the middle of a busy tourist root. And they all share the same condition ? express bus stops don?t have bus shelters. Sometimes commuters stay for hours in the bitter cold, exhausting heat, wind, or under the rain. Please add bus shelters and move them from the busy locations, or at least fence those areas so that pedestrians can?t go through the bus waiting line, and protect it from car accidents. Also, it?s good to have traffic cameras to automatically assign traffic violation tickets to the cars that standing at bus stops and blocking buses. 3) If the bus is stuck in traffic, there is no information about what is going on. In some cases, we stay in Manhattan near the entrance to the Hugh L. Carey (Battery) tunnel for more than one hour! Most people can use alternative transportation to ride home if the congestion information was available. Please send bus drivers updates on the ride status to share with commuters. Thank you for your help! We all depend on your decisions and hope that our commute will be safer, quicker, and more efficient.

Comment: I wish we still had the bus route we used to have that ran down 9th St., and turned right at Smith Street, instead of winding all around Red Hook to Atlantic Avenue. It was nice for Park Slope to be able to link to Carroll Gardens, and go to the shops on Smith and Court Streets.

Comment: Keep in mind people with disabilities and the elderly. They are the most affected here. There are some routes that I like, that I personally don't like the changes. There are some tweaks that we can do. The B44 SBS serving coney Island Hospital and future sheepshead Bay station. This is a good change. But keep in mind that NYCtransit is removing bus stops. We can go into remix and provide our feedback in there.

Comment: I would strongly urge you to bring back the bus line that used to go along Union Street from the Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens area, through Gowanus and Park Slope, and beyond. The loss of this line a number of years ago made it infinitely more challenging to commuters, students, public housing residents, seniors and anyone needing to travel across these areas. This was a vital cross-town connection for many communities. I hope you will consider bringing back this bus line. I think it was called the B71.

Comment: This proposes moving the B62 from Manhattan Avenue to McGuinness Blvd in Greenpoint. That is a huge problem for consumers, students, and commuters. People will now need to walk several blocks more to reach the stores on Manhattan Avenue, the G train stations on Manhattan Avenue, and schools on the other side of Manhattan Avenue. McGunness Blvd also already has enough traffic and no space for bus stops. Manhattan Avenue already has bus stops in place that will still be used by the B43.

Comment: @Tori Winters, I have 6 reasons. 1. B23 bus terminate at Flatbush Avenue & Cortelyou Road.2. Waiting for the B23 bus every 20-30 minutes.3. B23 bus was discontinued due to low ridership in June 2010 Service Cuts and I can’t walk transfer street from 62nd Street & New Utrecht Avenue on the D and N trains station to Cortelyou Road on the Q train station due to the cold weather.4. I can’t walk from Flatbush Avenue & Cortelyou Road to Beverley Road on the 2 and 5 trains station due to the cold weather.5. The B16 bus has too many turns from Fort Hamilton Parkway & 60th Street to Caton Avenue & McDonald Avenue. The B16 bus has to turn right on 60th Street & Fort Hamilton Parkway, left on 14th Avenue, left on McDonald Avenue & Church Avenue, and right on Caton Avenue & McDonald Avenue toward East Flatbush. The B16 bus has to turn left on McDonald Avenue & Caton Avenue, right on Church Avenue & McDonald Avenue, right on 36th Street & Church Avenue, left on 13th Avenue & 36th Street, right on 60th Street & 13th Avenue, and left on Fort Hamilton Parkway & 60th Street toward Bay Ridge.6. I can’t walk transfer street from Fort Hamilton Parkway on the D train station to Church Avenue on the B and Q trains station due to the cold weather.

Comment: B17 could be considered to be extended up Troy Avenue to cover the northern section of the present-day B15 (southbound buses down Albany). That would connect to the B55 and provide a better way to travel between Bed-Stuy & Brownsville/ENY, and be somewhat more direct than the current B15

Comment: The current B15 and the proposed B15 meander a lot through Crown Heights. The B17 could be extended further north. Northbound it could go down Troy and southbound it could go down Albany - this could replace the coverage of the existing B15 and also provide connections at Church ave to transfer to the B55.

Comment: The southbound B49 should run down Brooklyn Avenue. If service north of the hospital is maintained (which may not be necessary, since you have the B43 and B44 in that area), then it should run bidirectional down NY Avenue. Nostrand Avenue already has the B44 local/SBS and the subway. No need to have the B49 running through there as well.

Now that I've given up my car I need to take a cab to the musuem. If that bus still existed I could take the B63 and change for the Union Street bus. It was also far more convenient for going to the center of Carroll Gardens than any of the other bus routes or any of the subway routes. . I really thought this bus would come back if you were redoing the bus routes. There is tremendous community support for a bus on Union Street!

Comment: I agree. This stop should be eliminated or at least shifted to the far side of Flatbush Avenue so that buses aren't literally stopping twice on the same block. (Also, the B12 is listed as stopping here, but not the B16, which can cause confusion)

Comment: The present-day Q59 serves the (G), but this results in a meandering route. I think one of the other things to consider is that  Metropolitan has more traffic since it's an exit/entrance on the BQE.  And a good chunk of the (G) train riders have bus alternatives available (e.g. B44, B69 under this proposal, etc)

Comment: To cover Bay Ridge ave, could take the B100 or B31 and extend from the Kings Hwy train station down Avenue P, which also connects to the F train. Could then go down 65th street to 13th or 18th ave, then to Bay Ridge ave. This would create a grid in this section of brooklyn.

Comment: The area of the present day B62 along Wythe in S. Williamsburg. Because the B48, as proposed is rather redundant. It turns towards downtown Brooklyn. The B48 could go along its current route, and the B49 could run on Wythe and go towards the Navy Yard. It could run into the Williamsburg bridge bus terminal, and into the more "hip" part of Williamsburg. It doesn't make sense to send this route to Downtown when all the east/west routes also go to downtown.

Comment: Extending the B103 remaining to Downtown Brooklyn is very important. The extention into Canarsie and East New York does cover an important corridor, but it should not be the B103 that is doing it. There are other north south routes in Canarsie that should instead be extended. The B42, The B76 instead of the B60. Stanley ave to E105th st route, for example. Those would allow you to connect to Flatlands ave and the B55

Question- relevant to the buses, it would be good to study how much it would cost to build a bridge across those creeks to connect those areas. If those bridges were to be built, they could be used as bus only structures. You could then extend the B17 and provide a direct connection from canarsie

Comment: I live on Thompkins and Vernon, which will now be a transit hole from Nostrand to Marcus Garvey on the south band, and then DeKalb to Myrtle because of the proposed removed stops for the both the B43 and the B15 between Myrtle and DeKalb. My walk to any bus will go from 1 minute to 10 minutes. I have a physical disability and mobility is a challenge, this will have a very meaningful impact. I would urge that the B43 remain on Tompkins. These blocks are long and there are a lot of rats on them. It will be dangerous at night for seniors and children. Keeping the B43 would ensure access to HBK park.

Comment: I love the proposed changes! I really like the B55 SBS idea and the extension of the B16. The only change I don?t love is moving the B49 to go southbound on Nostrand instead of Bedford. The B41 on Flatbush is always packed and this change will make it even more crowded since southbound 49 riders will be unlikely to travel to Nostrand rather than Flatbush.

Comment: CB3 Brooklyn has been designated a Naturally Occurring Retirement District (NORC) because of our very high senior population. Our seniors take the buses in their daily activities. Trying to understand how moving bus routes off of streets, forcing them to walk further, how does that help our community? the B25 around Saratoga and Fulton, moving a bus stop there, but Just last week we announced a new development on Saratoga and Fulton, 100 units for seniors, 130 for families. In 2011 you wanted to get rid of the B25 and replace it with train service. The history of the MTA is fraught in this community. We need MORE service, for it to be more efficient. Forcing people to walk further will not help this community.

If B36 is extended to IRT subway at Nostrand Avenue/ or to Kings Plaza the route could be cut back in Coney Island to Stillwell Avenue and the B68 go further west to West 37tjh Street.

Comment: In Greenpoint, you're moving the B62 away from shopping/trains (ie, where people are going) and you've removed many stops. You have a huge stretch of line on a heavily used bus route with absolutely no stops. This is insanity. People are going to be forced to walk many blocks to get to a stop. Greenpoint is also full of a heavy elderly population so removing stops and making them walk further seems discriminatory. Outside of the elderly, you're just forcing people to drive their own cars more. Why would people try to use public transportation if it's impossible to get to stops?

Comment: I?ve just seen the proposed B38 route, but do not see the Ryerson or Grand Ave stops. Please explain if this is accurate. I hope that it is not a part of the plan to eliminate those stops. There are too many people that rely on them from surrounding buildings, including the elderly where Classon would be too far. If anything, eliminating the B38 Limited bus and making them regular B38 bus routes would be welcome. Those buses ran back to back in threes on a regular basis (before and after the inception of Limited buses) and only resulted in those on bypassed stops having to wait extra long times in the heat or cold for service. Limited bus meant limited service, not an improvement in arrival times for anyone. I have observed the disfunction in arrival times on the B38 line for decades. Please just keep all stops and regular routes. Thank you.

Comment: I would further like to propose that a stop be added to the B103 at 10th Ave. and McDonald (old Bishop Ford High School). There is already a bus stop there. It would make the B103 a viable option for residents of Windsor Terrace. It seems crazy to me that the B103 should go all the way from 10th St. and 4th Ave. to Caton and McDonald without any stops.

Comment: Since the B69 was re-routed along 7th Ave, there is no reasonable way for me to get to GAP via transit. It's a ~25 minute walk across the park. If I want to take a bus, I have to walk 10mins to McDonald Ave, and then up the hill from 7th Ave. to GAP along Union St. Might as well walk!

Comment: I'm concerned about the B26 as that is the bus that I take to go downtown, get my medicine, etc. I think someone mentioned spacing. Are you eliminating the stops? I take the bus at Ralph and Halsey st. And its no longer going to Bedford ave? To me that is faster. Nostrand ave southbound is always congested, and then to turn on Fulton street from there? I would not recommend that reroute

Comment: I'd rather have the B69 go down to Kensington so that riders have an easier time getting to the new B55 Airport Bus at a much easier rate, not to mention its unlikely people will get onto this bus till it gets to 15th Street/7th Avenue, the ridership is gained from Kensington not to mention it would make it a Hub Connection with the having the old connections to the F/G, B35 and B67, but the new B55 SBS, B81 Local, and the B16 being detoured onto Church Avenue, not to mention the connections with the brand new express services, it also allows riders on the B81 to connect to the route. Loosing a 7th Avenue route in Kensington will drastically affect the route.

The B67 is definitely alright but the Williamsburg Section is definitely a loss, it should have went to the Bus Plaza. If the B69 does not return to Kensington then the runs do need to be increased.

The B61 shouldn't go down to IKEA from Prospect Park, it should just make the right turn at Carroll St and go straight down replacing the old B57 route.

The B81 is definitely a benefit for the neighboorhood allowing customers to have better access to Red Hook and Kensington and Flatbush.

Comment: Good idea to have a bus from east to west along Stanley Avenue and serve the "L" Subway Line at East 105th Street Station on the western end  with some addiotional turns around Williams Avenue, Farragut Road & East 105th Street.  It would be easier for the bus to gainn access to the US Postal Center, Brooklyn GMF from Stanely Avenue and then the route could travel up to Linden Boulevard/Conduit to Cross Bay Blvd. and the Rockaway Boulevard Subway Station of the "A" Line.

Comment: I would like the B35 to be extended to JFK and be a select bus service since it can make more reliable service than the proposed B55 Select since it?s more accessible for more riders than the proposed B55. Also, the fact that you remove the B35 LTD is sort of bad since the riders that want to go someplace near Brownsville from Sunset Park will have a longer ride and the limited/select buses make the rider sorter and the extension for the B35 to JFK would increase ridership that want to head to the airport from Sunset Park which will cut their trips down.

Comment: I was looking at the b63 proposed changes think there's too much of a gap between 5th Ave/Bay Ridge Parkway and 5th Ave Bay Ridge Ave. I also noticed proposed changes to remove 36th stop which would eliminate connection to the subway. My suggestion is that gaps between stops should be no more than 3 blocks and that stops that directly connect to the subway should not be removed. There is plenty of ridership on the buses. There are many people who take buses to get closer to a specific stop instead of subways. There are elderly and disabled people who want to do less walking. Please consider this when proposing to remove stops for any bus line and that having huge gaps affects bus service for those with mobility issues.

Comment: the B43 rerouting going via Marcus and Throop isn't a good idea in my opinion. Tompkins will be left without service, Tompkins has a lot of riders depending on the B43 including me. On top of that the B38 will no longer serve Tompkins which leaves riders an inefficient way to transfer

Comment: After reviewing the proposed changes to the B49, I am concerned that the changes have a disparate and negative impact on residents of several neighborhoods in South Brooklyn (Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park, Gerritsen Beach, Midwood, etc.). This is an area of Brooklyn where many residents use cars already due to limited subway access, and the area is not served by other transportation options such as Citi Bike and Revel. The proposed plan reduces access to several important destinations or points of interest which will reduce the quality of life for local residents and encourage more car use at a time when we are trying to accomplish the opposite. Some of my specific concerns are outlined below: Discontinuing the B49's travel to Oriental Boulevard disadvantages local students who attend Kingsborough Community College. The B49 is a common means of transportation for students who live in Sheepshead Bay, Marine Park, Mill Basin, and other South Brooklyn neighborhoods and this will mean they now have to make more bus transfers and travel much further out of their way. Rerouting the B49 from Rogers to New York Avenue severely reduces access for South Brooklyn residents to recreational destinations such as the Kings Theatre, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum, and Prospect Park. Traffic near these destinations is already congested, and parking is limited. Removing public transportation options and encouraging more car traffic makes the area less safe for pedestrians and contributes to our climate change crisis. Additionally, I disagree with the proposal to remove the bus stop (B49 and BM3) at Ocean Ave and Ave S. On school days, this stop is heavily used by students and parents from nearby schools P.S. 255 and I.S. 234. While they could take the B49 at Ave R or Ave T, this forces them to cross an additional street in a high traffic corridor, which means their trips to and from school will be less safe. Please reconsider how the plan impacts residents of South Brooklyn before cutting our service. Many senior citizens who live in the area rely on the B49. Thanks for your consideration.

Comment: I'm a resident and homeowner on the 300 Halsey st Block Association. My concerns are more environmental and health related than frequency and safety. Halsey street is a 2 way street - there's lots of traffic, pollution, and noise. We have dust constantly. I'm concerned about health issues that are already plaguing our community. The B26 passes schools, children on corners, etc. Revise the B26 and make Halsey street a one way street

Comment: The B82 from Flatbush to Ave. K helps to reduce our walking time to get to a bus and train transfer. Walking time to B41 and B46 is about 7 to 10 minutes. B82 being on Flatbush to Ave. K reduces that walking time tremendously. The 82 needs more frequency.

Comment: The idea to eliminate the LTD B49 - we have about 2200 students who come from northern brooklyn via the B49 LTD, which we fought hard for. Eliminating that will add another 30 minutes to an over hour-long trip already. People ride the bus because the train is not accessible from all parts of central BK, and you need to transfer to another bus from the train, so why not just take the bus to begin with?

Comment: The current proposed redesign would be very bad for Greenpoint. Currently, there is an extreme amount of development occuring on the Greenpoint waterfront (including the Greenpoint LAnding mega development). This development is and will continue to lead to additional foot traffic on West street and Franklin street (as well as the main avenue in Greenpoint, Manhattan Ave.). However, the current proposal would REMOVE the only bus line that services Franklin Street (the B32) and would move the main bus taht services Manhattan avenue (the B62) to McGuinness blvd. Particualrly given that the G train is the only train servicing the neighborhood, it is imperitive to have quality bus service. It makes no sense to make bus service less accessible for the neighborhood, particular for the large influx of residents coming to the waterfront. In addition, McGuinness BLVD is notoroiously dangerous, has little residential housing, and borders industrial buildings. It should also be noted that there is no subway service and essentially little greenspace in the northern portion of Greenpoint so it is particular important to connect this part of the community directly to the East River parks in Williamsburg and northern Greenpoint and McCarren Park in Williamburg (which are currently served by the B32 and B62 respectively). It does make sense to have the new B62 run to Astoria as these neighborhoods should be connected, but the current routing makes little sense. Instead, buses should be routed down Franklin street (or Manhattan, which has subway connections) and bus lanes should be added to whichever street is chosen to speed service.

Comment: a. This would eliminate the turn on 60th Street, which is a very crowded intersection that has seen multiple fatalities recently; the light at that corner has a long wait and cars often queue for multiple turns of the light. b. Adding stops on Ridge Blvd would help maintain access to the Bay Ridge waterfront locations mentioned above while still adding connectivity to the hospital. It would also prevent a new redundancy between the B64 and the B9. c. Adding stops on Ridge Blvd/2nd Avenue will improve connection between Bay Ridge and Sunset Park, given the infrequency of the B37. I usually drive my car between Bay Ridge and Sunset Park when traveling to NYU Langone for tests and medical appointments, but there is very limited parking. d. Adding stops on Ridge Blvd will help anticipate future development of the Interborough Express station at the rail terminal on 65 St. It will similarly provide connectivity to the Brooklyn Army Terminal, which possesses significant redevelopment potential.

Comment: 2. I suggest increasing the frequency of the B37, to match the changes to the B70.a. The B37 is the only way to travel between Bay Ridge and Sunset Park waterfront locations such as Costco, Industry City, and the ball fields at Bush Terminal Park. The B37’s frequency of every ~22 minutes is already below average for local buses.b. Very limited parking exists around Industry City along 2nd Avenue, forcing consumers to pay for parking in the private lot or park illegally.

Comment: 1. I suggest running the B64 along Ridge Blvd/2nd Avenue from Bay Ridge Avenue to 55th St, instead of along 4th Avenue. The B64 currently connects Dyker Heights and Bath Beach residents with Bay Ridge locations like the ferry pier, Owls Head Park, and Xaverian High School. It may make sense to reroute the western terminal to NYU Brooklyn hospital, but I suggest running the B64 along 2nd Avenue from Bay Ridge Avenue to 55th St.

Comment: This redesign resembles a child's crayon project in some places. There're a number of seemingly useless reroutes and extensions that, while claiming to "speed up travel times", ultimately have little merit. B6: The removal of certain sections of the route east of Flatbush Junction present few benefits, while leaving people to have to walk longer distances to their nearest bus stops. Taking buses off of Glenwood Road between Nostrand Avenue and Albany Avenue, for example alienates riders for the sake of reclaiming maybe two minutes of runtime on Avenue H. - The B5 LTD does NOT need to exist as a separate service from the B6 LTD. Introducing a new route splits up resources further and increases headways on existing routes, and for what the B5 is supposed to do, it just doesn't seem to be worth a new label or frequency. The Gateway alignment could easily be served by rerouting the existing B6 LTD (since its the same profile route as the B5) and extending the B6 Local to New Lots Station in its place. - The proposed reroute onto Glenwood Rd between Ralph Avenue and East 80th Street will have little benefit to runtime while further isolating the Paerdegat community from direct service to Flatbush Junction. Additionally, keeping the B6 & B6 LTD on Flatlands Avenue gives students at South Shore High School greater ease of access to the Rockaway Parkway (L) station, as they wouldn't have to choose which route to walk to after school. The current shared B82/B6 stop on the southeast corner of Ralph Ave/Flatlands Ave is the optimal method of quickly moving students to and from and train station.

Comment: It would be really helpful to keep the B43 bus traveling down Brooklyn ave to maintain the connection to the A train at Nostrand ave. Moving it to Albany would be very challenging. Its dark and less traveled, and there's a reason for that.

Comment: My concern is regarding the B43 - what sort of research went into moving the B43 from Brooklyn to albany? I take that bus after the train, and moving it to Albany would make it a very cumbersome. People hop on the bus a couple blocks to go south from the A train at Nostrand. I've lived in Crown Heights for multiple decades, and no one wants to wait on Albany at night.

Comment: Unlike other commenters, I like the idea of moving the B62 to McGuinness Blvd, as this could make the street a lot more pedestrian-friendly than what it is now. Many people think the situation can't be changed, but the truth is A LOT must de done to make the street safer/more open to pedestrians, not only drivers, and speeds up both the B43 and B62 buses. Its current routing along Manhattan Ave causes congestion, since the B43 (which runs more frequent) runs on it already, and a lot more people within Greenpoint use it more than the B62, which users connecting from Brooklyn to Queens (and vice versa). The G also runs under Manhattan Avenue, and the added redundancy does not make any sense currently. A lot of the outrage is because drivers are unhappy about sharing McGuinness with buses, which already use the road from Green St to the Pulaski Bridge.

Comment: I really don't think it makes sense to just switch bus lines. It seems backwards. I didn't hear anything about a new bus line going into Manhattan. There was a lot of focus on Brooklyn to Queens, but not into Manhattan. The smartest thing would be to go over the Manhattan Bridge

Comment: B64: The B64 should just go back to the way it was before 2010 west of 13th Avenue. Bay Ridge Avenue service can be replaced with the B100. I'd also send up Cropsey Avenue to Bay Parkway to better serve Caesars Bay. B65: On the western end, I'd have this route replace the B63 to Brooklyn Bridge Park. On the eastern end, it should be extended to Broadway Junction. B66: Instead of Duplicating many services to Williamsburg, I think this route should go to LIC via Bushwick Avenue and Manhattan Avenue. I'd also create a short turn to Woodhull Hospital. B67: This route should be extended down 16th Avenue to replace the old B23. B68: This route is fine as it in Coney Island and should be left alone. B69: The southern terminal is in the middle of nowhere. It should end in Industry City instead. B71: Bring this route back and extend it into Manhattan, providing the Manhattan-Cobble Hill service that riders there have been requesting for years. B74: It would be nice to combine this with the B64, but I understand that Mermaid Avenue riders prefer the B74 to be left alone B76: Great idea! B81: I'd scrap this route east of Bartel Pritchard Square, but extend it to Manhattan on the Western End, providing the Manhattan-Red Hook service that riders there have been requesting for years. B82: This route should be cut back to Coney Island Avenue, with the B7 replacing it west of there. B83: Love this idea, about time! B100: This should be extended to the Bay Ridge Ferry Terminal (where the B9 and B64 currently end) via Avenue P, 65th Street and Bay Ridge Avenue. I'd also create a B100A that serves Kings Plaza via Avenue U, Flatbush Avenue, and Fillmore Avenue, maintaining a connection between the B train and Kings Plaza, as well as creating a new connection between Mill Basin and Kings Plaza.

Comment: B37: This route should be extended to Wegman's in Vinegar Hill B39: This route should be extended to Union Square and Broadway Junction via Broadway. B40: Instead of Empire Boulevard, send this route to Sunset Park via Cortelyou, McDonald, and 39th Street. B41: I would experiment with a branch of the B41 up Flatbush Avenue to Tillary Street to serve MetroTech and LIU. B42: There should be a limited stop version of the B42 that starts at Gateway Center, takes the Belt Parkway from there to Rockaway Parkway, then goes straight up Rockaway Parkway to Brookdale Hospital and then the Utica Avenue 3 and 4 stations. B43: This route should go to Kings County Hospital, not stay on Empire. B44: I would experiment with extening some B44 locals to the Williamsburg Ferry Pier to meet ferries from Manhattan. B44 SBS: Great idea to reroute it to Avenue Z! B45: Instead of going up Ralph Avenue, this route should serve the Pitkin Avenue shopping district on its way to Broadway Junction. B46 SBS: Extend this to Woodhull Hospital too please! B48: This route should end at the Bedford Avenue L train station via the Williamsburg Waterfront and Williamsburg Bridge Plaza on the north end. I also think that Woodhull Hospital could also work on the north end, but Bedford Avenue is better. On the south end it should travel east on Empire Blvd to Utica Avenue. B49: This route should stay as is in Manhattan Beach. On the north end, it should instead go to Broadway Junction, staying on Ocean Avenue north of Foster Avenue to Empire Blvd and East New York Avenue. B51: Bring this route back, traveling crosstown accross Canal Street then over the Manhattan Bridge and Flatbush Avenue to Church Avenue. B52: Extend this route to Fresh Pond Road/Metropolitan to connect with the Q39 and Q67. B53: This idea should be scrapped. Leave the B32 alone, extend the B39 to Broadway Junction, and let a new Greenpoint-Flushing bus cover Greenpoint Avenue/Roosevelt Avenue. B55: Excellent idea! There needs to be a connection to the Q52 and Q53 though. I also think that there should be a bus down the Belt Parkway from JFK serving many underserved areas in South Brooklyn. B57: Great idea B60: This should be extended down East 105th Street to the B17 terminal, giving Eastern Canarsie bus service to the L train. B63: I'd experiment with creating a branch of this to Wegman's in Vinegar Hill, or even over the Manhattan Bridge to Canal Street.

Comment: Agree with other comment on moving the line in Bay Ridge to Ridge Blvd for the B37, west of Ridge Blvd there are already not enough buses. This has been an issue for years.
Moving the B37 route to ridge boulevard will make buses more accessible for those who live west of 3rd avenue and for those who attend churches on Ridge Blvd (there are lots of them). There are already the R and B63 that takes people north of Bay Ridge which should be sufficent.
And it also takes off lots of congestion on 3rd avenue as well and offers more parking on a commertial street.

Comment: I do like the new proposal on the Bus Network Redesign. I believe the new route will help commuters travel quicker to their designation, whether going home or getting to work. To make it much smoother, I think during off-peak hours both ways, we should have the express bus routes such as the BM1c, BM2c & BM3c extend the route on Beverley Rd to Ocean Parkway and then continue onto to the Prospect Park Expressway. We can keep the normal routes during peak hours. I believe this route would be much faster and quicker on time.

Comment: Cancelling the B2 line effectively makes Marine Park a transit desert. The B2 is a vital shuttle line that takes residents of Marine Park directly to either the Kings Highway (B/Q) train station or to Kings Plaza. Smashing all of Mill Basin, Marine Park, and Midwood onto the B100, without increasing service, is callous, disrepectful, and ignorant of the needs of an entire neighborhood.

Comment: I'm disappointed the bus network redesign eliminates the B57 route that goes from the Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill area to Bushwick. I use this route a good amount to get over there. I would also love to see a bus route running to Grand Army Plaza and the Prospect Heights area from Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens. I know there used to be a bus running down Union St and many in the neighborhood talk about how much it's missed, because it is not easy to get to north Park Slope from Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens on any existing form of transit. The F and G, the two subway lines in the area, do not connect to the 2/3/4/5 at all in Downtown Brooklyn, so the subway is not an option to get over to that area. It looks like this redesign does not include anything new to help with this situation, but it would be fantastic to have a bus route to get from Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens to north Park Slope, Grand Army Plaza, and Prospect Heights. Thank you!

Comment: I think that the B52 reroute on Washington Ave and Fulton is a horrible idea. During any peak time traffic is backed up on Washington and Fulton on both sides on back to Lafayette on the North and Park Place on South for a bus to make it worse with a left turn from Fulton is a bad idea.

Comment: Hi, My name is Kimari Hazward - as a lifelong resident of East New York, I have experienced consistent disappointment from the B83 Bus Service that runs between Gateway Mall and Broadway Junction. Primarily inconsistent run times during weekday rush hour, stops are too close to each other (sometime along the same block), and an outdated route. These issues very often lead to high congestion, crowded buses, and dysfunctional scheduling. This Bus line is the backbone to a communities that exist within a two fare zone and rely on this route to get to work, and other priorities that require a train! I would deeply appreciate hearing back and to possibly work together to improve this bus system and the community that rely on it for mobility!

Is there any way you can summarize the presentation? Use the baseline bus numbers and compare them with old/new?

Comment: Sorry, I am outside and couldn’t talk. I chose to send my message here. My question is: would MTA outreach to community based organizations like senior centers to share the resign bus plan? I think it’s more direct and make sense doing in multiple community centers as the community members are there everyday. I can tell you my center’s members are not aware of this initiative at all. Thank you.

Comment: B81 is a good idea, allowing new service from Flatbush but it should go to Downtown Brooklyn potentially via Red Hook still.

B69 being removed is not a good idea, it just cuts service from riders who do ride the route a lot in South Slope, so either bring it back to here or increase B69 runs.

Comment: I agree that the B37 should run more frequently. I would use it to travel within Bay Ridge more frequently but it takes so long in between buses that I'll often drive instead. Then If I'm driving to buy something I sometimes choose to go outside the neighborhood since I'm driving anyway and don't want to deal with parking in Bay Ridge. Sometimes I'll walk but if the weather is bad that's not a good option and Citibikes are only on the edge of the neighborhood.

Comment: Please make this a shared and standardized stop for both the B14 & B17. For years, these buses will swap whether they stop on the main road or service road. It is a nightmare for passengers who can't just race for the next bus because it is now across the street. The barriers on this road guarantee most will miss the bus and then wait another 15 - 25 minutes for the next bus they hope they are at the correct stop for.
This also gives the buses room to turn onto Utica Ave. There are already dedicated bus lanes; let them use it as a turning lane to ease a clear traffic bottleneck

Comment: The b15 runs very slowly now, how does that help the ridership?  And I ride that bus line enough to know that a number of working class folks who have the low wage jobs at the airport as well as flight attendants use this route to get to work.  And that stop at Franklin Avenue is not safe, despite the proximity to the subway. How do you propose to ensure the safety of passengers who now have to wait for the 26 bus? And the entire strip of Nostrand Avenue is a commercial hub, Rogers Avenue is not, why the change.  Looks like these changes don't benefit the usual riders on these routes.  Folks who proposed these changes need to ride each of the "targeted" routes. and examine who actually takes these buses.  Looks like the poor and seniors are going to feel the affects way more than others.  This has not been properly thought out IMHO

Comment: Hi, I have only become a regular bus rider since the addition of OMNY - knowing I can pay for the bus without having to find a MetoCard and confirm its balance before walking to the stop makes it possible for me to use the buses. I would very much like the bus up Union St (I believe the number is B71) back. I would have used it three times in just the last week. On the B69, the frequency feels much too low for the amount of bunching that bus experiences. Yesterday, I walked from the Plaza St E stop to the Myrtle stop, leaving at 2:58 (before the bus scheduled to arrive at 2:54 had come) and arrived at 3:23 before that bus or either of the next two made it to Myrtle. To arrive at school pick up at 3:30, I shouldn't need to allow nearly an hour to complete a fifteen minute bus ride. The same is true in the morning. To be sure to arrive at Myrtle before an 8:30 school start, you have to be at the bus stop by 7:45, but my kids can make it if we start walking at 8:00. Taking that route 20 times a week, it is typically faster for me to take the bus 8-10 times per week and otherwise, walking is the better option. It's scheduled like it would always work, but with the traffic and bunching, it needs to be more frequent to actually work. We have the same situation with places we go on the B45. Typically, we are traveling less than two miles and it is faster for me to have my first and fourth graders walk than to wait for and then ride a bus. Please figure out how to get Flatbush Ave a bus lane. The bunching on the B41 is really remarkable. It comes frequently enough that from the library away from downtown is typically worth waiting for. Toward downtown, it is usually just faster than walking but too crowded to be worth the discomfort over walking or waiting for a train. Thanks so much! Mary Ann

Comment: The B69 is the most direct way to get from Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill to Prospect Heights and Prospect Park, but the weekend schedule (every 30 minutes) makes it nearly useless. Please consider increasing service frequency. There's no other good public transportation between these points.

Comment: Why is the B62 route moving to Flushing Ave? This bus is an critical way to get from Fort Greene and Clinton Hill to  Williamsburg and Greenpoint. On weekday mornings, many students use it e.g. to get to MS 50. This change would add a long block (about 5 minutes walk) to many people's commute. Please keep it on Park Ave instead.

Comment: I am very against the proposed changes to the B63 bus route. What the B63 needs is MORE buses, or at the very least, the accordion center double buses, especially during rush hours. The B63 is consistently crowded, and after schools dismiss around 3PM, they buses are jam-packed with people. In the mornings, there have been days where I've waited half an hour for a B63 to come, and mornings where the bus has been so crowded, the driver doesn't even pull over to the stop and there's a crowd of people waiting to get on. I'm not sure how removing bus stops will alleviate any of these problems, because it's just going to mean even larger crowds of people waiting to get on at stops that are further apart. If you think I'm lying, check out the B63 bus stops near MS 51 on 5th Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets. That bus during morning rush hours and around 3PM is PACKED.

Comment: Very concerned about changes in draft plan. Have drafted a resolution which was unanimously approved expressing disappointment with draft plan. Removal of stop at the corner of Tompkins and Fulton is problematic - there's a food town where seniors shop. Also concerned about the corner of Bedford and Fulton. Turning on to that corner, that now has a Chipotle and a Shake Shack is very problematic.

Comment: For the past 2 or 3 years the B14 & B17 have had different stopping points on Eastern Parkway. Can this be standardized. Sometimes the B14 starts from the service road, other times it starts in the main road. This provides a confusing experience for passengers. If the eastbound B14 will run from the main road then it should turn right on Pitkin instead of turning right on Ralph.

Comment: The stopping pattern here is confusing. I understand from a traffic perspective but in function it is not practical. After 38st the next stop on the B16 should be E46 st. Having the B12 stop after the turn and B16 stop at E40 st is more confusing for passengers.  The community also loses more parking spots with 2 stops.

Comment: In response to Christopher Mills. Bus lanes east of E16st would be great but is not possible because the roads are too narrow. The B35 currently runs articulated buses and runs just fine from an operational perspective. The problem that hinders the B35/B35LTD is traffic. That will still be an issue with the B35/B55XT. That can only be fixed by incremental traffic solutions like bus sensor traffic lights or turning lanes.

Comment: If you go ahead with shortening the B48 and having the B69 serve Williamsburg/Greenpoint instead, it would be great to improve B69 frequencies. Improving weekend frequencies in particular would be great. There is a lot of demand for travel to Williamsburg/Greenpoint from Propsect Heights/Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy/Crown Heights. 15-20 min headways (or better!) on nights and weekends would be really useful.

Comment: To be fair the MTA need to also add a daily fare cap not just a 12 ride fare capp for those passengers that don't ride public transit seven days in a row as they may never reach the 12 ride fare capp if they don't ride more than six days in a row. .  For example $5.50 per day could be a daily fare capp maximum for the day but if an express bus is added then the fare capp would rise to $13.50. to include two express bus trips.   Even NICE bus gives two transfers and that is only one county here we have five borough/counties in New York City yet only one transfer?  More transfers are needed for one fare in New York City especially if you want people to use buses for interborough travel.

Comment: The loss of B69 service from Kensington and most of Windsor Terrace means that accessing Park Slope(Center Slope/North Slope), Grand Army Plaza and NY-Presby Methodist Hospital will be longer walks away, or a possible transfer to the B67, which will come every 30 minutes, according to Plan.

Comment: @JEFF....That is much appreciated.  Your written "Draft" assertion that the B81, B37, etc. replaces the B103 "to Downtown" is a real stretch of the imagination.  Just saying.

Comment: In Kensington and Windsor Terrace, we have the double whammy of losing the B103 and the B69. Losing the B103 is completely outragious. It gives a one seat ride from Canarsie to Downtown Bklyn. When it goes on the expressway it saves people a lot of time. The 103 is the best way of getting from the junction to downtown if you aren't a subway rider. They are afraid of the subway, and this is the only way they have of getting to downtown.

Comment: I concur with what others have said about the B65 moving to Atlantic ave. Theres a large distance if the bus is moved to Atlantic in east west service. Also, once you get eastward, it becomes a smaller lane. There's always people parked there and deliveries. Its grid locked during rush hour from Bedford to Rockaway.

The loss of these two stops would greatly impact the community. I wholeheartedly believe these two bus stops should remain and I'm against a redesign of the changes being proposed to the B38 line.  Also the B52 bus should be allowed to continue to make stops along Greene Avenue.

The route should run via 3rd Av (4th Av from Flatbush Av to Bergen St), Flatbush Av, Manhattan Bridge to Park Row-City Hall.

For instance, I live near Tompkins and Halsey and understand that both B26 stops at Tompkins are planned for removal. Would it be possible to remove this stop in just one direction so people who rely on it won’t be affected in both directions.

Comment: I will add my other comment here — while I am sympathetic to the need to reduce bus stops, my immediate corner feels like it’s gotten the short end of the stick. I live at Classon and St Johns — we are losing both of our bus stops in the plan (B45 and B48). I would hope that the burden of losing bus stops is more evenly spread around the neighborhood and we don’t lose both of those stops.

Comment: First things first: B55 SBS to JFK is amazing. Kensington is a long trip from *any* of the airports, and having a one-seat ride (on SBS, none-the-less) is a huge improvement. I also like the simplification of B16 through Borough Park. That was one circuitous trip before. I'm not sure that I'm a fan of the move on the east end away from Prospect Park, but I see it goes right next to the medical centers, so I imagine it will have some good ridership over there because of that. I also question whether shortening the B69 to end at the top of the hill is a good idea. The ride up MacDonald Avenue in the mornings is filled with kids going to the school at 7th ave and 19th st -- so much so that you currently (at least used to) run special buses up that terminate at that stop. I suppose you could continue (and even increase those short trips) on the B67. But it seems like this also speaks to just keeping the B69 running to Cortelyou as well. Maybe it could be the 'rush-hour extension' for B69, and midday and nights it terminates along with the B61 at the top of the cemetery? To be honest, if you want this more of a "North Brooklyn" bus, just end it at Grand Army Plaza. The B103 change I am surprised at. The part of the trip from Atlantic Terminal through Kensington is pretty busy whenever I take it. Yes, the new B81 (which is awesome) will capture some of that, but it won't go up to Atlantic Terminal. I guess the G train goes close to Atlantic Terminal, so threre are still some alternatives. That B48 extension southward is interesting. Given how hard it is to get around the corner of the park, any possibility of extending that route to Church & MacDonald? That would also take care of any issue from the B16's new eastward route. Finally, let's talk about the BM3 change. Do the buses really save that much time by continuing up Coney Island Ave instead of switching over to church and keeping the pick up location? Thanks for thinking about this -- a lot of good ideas here.

Comment: Open streets should be prohibited on corridors that have bus routes. The MTA needs to work with NYCDOT to ensure that no Open Street ever takes place on a bus corridor once that route is established.

Comment: I'm confused - I live by GAP, I'm curious about the routes that go from this part of Brooklyn to Williamsburg/Greenpoint. Are the B43 and the B69 the only routes that connect central and north brooklyn? Most of the other routes just stop at the Williamsburg bridge. I'm interested in more connectivity between these neighborhoods. Its hard to get there unless you are close to the G train.

Comment: Hundreds of AM rush hour commuters in Northwest Greenpoint, west of McGuinness, rely on the Northbound B32/B62 bus to get over the Pulaski Bridge to Queens 7 train. This redesign removes EVERY nearby stop to Queens, except McGuinness Av/Freeman St! That stop is barely accessible across the busy Pulaski Bridge highway. All residents north of Green and west of McGuinness will have to go further south than the bus stop to cross at Green St, the northmost crosswalk across McGuinness. Furthermore, the bridge's pedestrian path is on west-side; if commuters miss the bus due to the longer walk to the stop, they have to re-walk south again to re-cross Manhattan Ave at Green Street in order to walk over the bridge, adding insult to injury. These changes could add up to 20 minutes to rush hour commutes, decreasing property values and community trust in MTA's ability to serve a high-density residential neighborhood.

A solution could be adjusting B43's northmost terminus to be Jackson Av/11 St in Queens. Perhaps it could turn right on Box, right on Provost, right on Freeman, and right on Pulaski Bridge. This way Greenpointers can get across bridge without having to cross difficult McGuinness Blvd, which they do not have to now.

Comment: As CB 15 Transit Chair I can tell you that the southern proposed changes to the B-49 Route will not only negatively effect residents along the route, which runs through an area with a high concentration of senior citizens, but pose a hardship to Kingsborough students, visitors to the Menorah Nursing Home and, of course Manhattan Beach visitors.  This change, and any extensions between bus stop distances will pose a problem for many of CB 15's seniors.

Comment: B37. Why would you remove the 92 street stop in front of a supermarket while keeping the 90th street stop they most buses pass by and don?t stop unless you flag them. Also these stops at the end of streets such as 82 street are often missed by drivers. You should eliminate 90th street and move 82 street unacceptable to the south end of the block for better visibility for both bus drivers and passengers

Comment: MTA needs to take over the B110 buses, the service is unreliable, the fares are too high and there's been a historical problem with women being forced to sit on the back of the bus or stand up so a man can sit. Some buses in the past would have signs that say "man only" and refuse to let women board the bus. MTA will give underserved communities on the B110 the chance to use OMNY and more courteous and reliable service. The community once asked MTA to run the B110 and the private company only came in because MTA refused to do so.

Comment: Smith street is in desperate need of a re-design. The buses are stuck behind large numbers of single passenger cars, and there is a high volume of cyclists packed into a very narrow bike lane.
Would be good to eliminate the parking and provide dedicated lanes for bus and bike.

Comment: Re the B63 route redesign; this design does not address the issues with this route At All! Anyone who uses this bus line knows that it is already too infrequent and highly overcrowded during rush hour & after school times. This bus is also used heavily by elderly neighbors and those with mobility issues. Making less frequent stops will only aggravate these issues and remove a relied upon transportation method for the most vulnerable in the community. I cannot imagine who this is meant to benefit and how their needs are being prioritized over the regular users.

Comment: I live on Decatur street between Lewis and Marcus Garvey. I have a vision impairment and really rely on both the B43 and the B15 to get to really specific places. The B43 I take to Williamsburg and Greenpoint all the time, and in the other direction to Prospect Park. It is the only reliable way to get to those locations. The B15 connects to the JMZ and to the express stop at the express A train. I don't understand where the B43 is going to go, or whether it is being eliminated. I think what other people said about having multiple avenues between bus lines really creates a problem with my vision impairment navigating those long blocks, especially at night. Having them staggered at every other block is really helpful for me.

Comment: The B64 should continue along Bay Ridge Ave to Shore Road. The B64 connects the neighborhood with its zoned JHS, McKinley, as well as McAuliffe, Ephrem (and Xaverian for Dyker Heights). A large senior center is set to open near Shore on Bay Ridge Ave. If the intention was to inconvenience school-aged children and the elderly with longer commutes and transfers, job well done.   There are less disruptive ways to better serve the Army Terminal I can think of five or six.

Comment: This proposal for re-routing buses in the Bedford Stuyvesant/Stuyvesant Heights neighborhood is a disaster in the making. Bedford Stuyvesant has one of the highest Asthma and environmental pollution incidences in New York City. Changing the bus routes [ the B15- west to Throop Avenue and B43 East to Marcus Garvey] will further congest the existing traffic routes. Marcus Garvey Blvd and Throop Avenue are already heavy trafficked conduits and they already have existing bus lines. These are residential streets (not commercial routes) with many homes that face the street. There are not nearly enough trees planted along either Marcus Garvey Blvd or Throop Avenue to absorb current traffic emissions. Adding more bus lines will surely send the Asthma rates in the area through the ceiling. Further, when this traffic converges with the traffic at DeKalb Avenue during the congested week day rush hours in the morning and the evenings,it will be a quality of life nightmare -365 days a year. It will mean no longer being able to open our windows for fresh air or to hear the song of the birds during the summer months. There are also a lot of seniors who depend on and use these buses, they will now have to trek two to three long blocks for their transporation needs. This is not a good proposal. I hope it is reconsidered.

Comment: It is inconceivable to me that eliminating stops on the B63 somehow improves service.  I walk with a knee-brace and a cane.  Making me walk an extra two blocks to the bus is an outrageous imposition.  Bus service is key to helping people with mobility issues -- there are few subway stations in Park Slope that are accessible.--indeed, none between 59th Street and Barclays..

Comment: Good evening everyone.. speaking of the BM5/35, I’m hoping for 2 things: the continuation of the last bus leaving midtown at 11pm going to spring creek(especially since at that time of night when subway and  local bus service is spotty to say the least; having that option to take the express bus at that time of night is a big help). Also keep Saturday service on this route. Train service on the weekends is poor, and the express bus offers an excellent alternative to midtown….

Comment: Strongly opposed to retiring the B32 line and replacing it with the new B53 route, and strongly opposed to rerouting the B62 along McGuinness. The north-west side of Greenpoint is already isolated from bus routes, and the route along the waterfront between Greenpoint and Williamsburg is integral to our community. B32 service frequency should be increased.

Comment: B15 instead of eliminating travel to JFK, create a B15LTD or Select or Express Bus to JFK. I don't always have the $45 taxi fare and the B15 is easier to reach than the A train. B15 also brings you to a terminal. After the A train you need to board another train to get to a terminal.

Bus stop theme: Too many bus stops
Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): 
Comment: This feedback is about the B54. I am so glad to see that you are finally removing stops to speed up the bus. However, I think you?ve left a lot of speed improvements on the table. Buses should never stop 1 min after the last stop. It?s irritating as a passenger, and with the delays of letting people on and off, it would often be just as fast to walk between those stops. Here are stops that should be eliminated: * It is only a 3 min drive Myrtle Av/Fleet Pl and Myrtle Av/Carlton Av. However, there are 2 additional stops currently at Myrtle Av/Ashland Pl and Myrtle Av/N Portland Av. The Fleet and Ashland stops are on the same block, as are the N Portland and Carlton stops. This is very irritating as a rider. Please eliminate at least one of the Ashland Av and N Portland Av stops, but I would prefer you eliminate both * It is a 1-2 min drive between Myrtle Av/Carlton Av and Myrtle Av/Vanderbilt Av. Please eliminate Myrtle Av/Vanderbilt Av, making it only a 7 min walk between Carlton and the next stop at Washington * It is a 2 min walk and 1 min drive from Myrtle Av/Washington Av and Myrtle Av/Ryerson St. We do not need the stop at Ryerson, as it is only a 6 min walk from Washington to the next stop at Classon * It is a 3 min walk and 1 min drive from Myrtle Av/Spencer St to Myrtle Av/Nostrand Av and only a 6 min walk from Spencer St to the next stop at Marcy Av. Myrtle Av/Nostrand Av should be eliminated My general feedback is that 5-7 min walks between stops is completely acceptable, and we should not be optimizing for less than that. I want the bus to be faster than walking, but right now it?s hard to argue the B54 is, even with the draft proposal

Bus stop theme: Too many bus stops
Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): 
Comment: This feedback is about the B61. The current draft leaves speed savings on the table in favor of making walks between stops way too short, and more stops should be eliminated. Concretely, Atlantic Av/Clinton St and Columbia St/Congress St should both be eliminated. Court and Hicks are only a 6 min walk away, which is totally doable to eliminate Clinton. Hicks and Baltic, meanwhile, are only a 7 min walk away, making the stop at Columbia and Congress just as wasteful. I would like taking the bus to be faster than walking, but as it stands the B61 still stops way too often and will be immensely frustrating as a rider.

Comment: I love how the new bus stops are spaced further apart and unnecessary stops are eliminated on the b63, b35, and b70. Even though the stop I usually board at is getting cut, I will happily walk the two extra blocks in exchange for faster service. My only wish is that we could increase frequency, especially during the AM peak on the b63 when tons of students are going from sunset park to park slope making the bus insanely crowded.

Comment: If the b15 is moved to Throop there will be no bus running down Lewis and 2 buses on Throop. Seniors rely on the close proximity of the bus along that street. In addition, removing the JFK does a disservice to the people who use the bus to travel to and from the airport. The bus service allows individuals a direct transport to the airport with the convenience of affordability and environmental friendliness.

The B38 at Ryerson and Grand Avenue and the B52 Green Avenu/Grand allow me to be independent by its access to doctors and daily essentials.  My safety will be at risk should the B38 at Ryerson, Grand Avenue as well as the B52 stops be eliminated. My rights to have the same ability to travel and travel safely will be violated.  Traveling via wheelchair to Classon Avenue is hazardous for me especially in inclement weather conditions.  I will lose my ability to travel.

Comment: Consider moving the Bay Ridge portion of the B37 to Ridge Boulevard. Most people live on Ridge/Colonial/Narrows/Shore anyways, and notability those on the latter three don't have easy access to buses. Living on Narrows and walking to the B37 is far. Plus it takes off lots of traffic on 3rd avenue. This will benefit the residents who live on those four avenues and we'd have a much more pleasant time with the B37.

Comment: BM7, BM7c, BM37: The removal of the various bus stops in Bay Ridge (specifically Oliver/Shore Rd but also 97/Shore and 88/Shore) is utter outrageous and cannot be implemented. I specifically purchased an apartment in a building with a bus stop close by (ie less than a block) in order to utilize this bus conveniently and frequently. The bus stop at Oliver/Shore is used frequently both during rush hour and off peak and would negatively impact many riders. Honestly, most people on this bus line think the route is fine and doesn?t require any change. ?If it ain't broke, don?t fix it?. Thanks.

Comment: Good evening everyone. My question is about the B35. Is there a way to connect the B35 to the 36 St N/R/D station? It currently goes there on the Brownsville-bound  B35 temporarily because of sewer maintenance, and it has made my life much more convenient. I strongly suggest that the B35 permanently stop at the 36 st station before reaching its terminus.

Comment: We live on  Saint John between NY and Nostrand and the bus going in both directions has created  stopped traffic, accidents, bikers hit ( there is a bike lane too) . Moving one of the routes for these two blocks to Sterling makes a lot of sense and will make for safer streets and smoother traffic.

Currently it is not rare to see headways of 20 minutes during midday and weekends since half the buses turn back at Flushing Avenue, that should never be the case for SBS routes.

Comment: Existing and new bus lanes should be busways, center-running lanes with boarding islands, or contraflow lanes. Lanes where you allow turning vehicles to use them or that can be blocked by double parking end up slowing down the buses too much

My suggestion is that it be rerouted to exit of Bay Parkway at Ave I, instead of Ave J. Until East 14 Where it should make a right turn (faster) and then onto Ave J to stop at the Train Station.

Has there been any specific outreach to our Senior communities or the churches that service them??

Comment: As a renter on St Johns Place for 8 years, I support the proposed rerouting of the westbound B45 to Sterling Place via New York Ave. the traffic on St Johns simply cannot support it. We are already a main truck, fire engine (East bound, typically) and ambulance route Even though the street is significantly narrower than the Eastward blocks. It delays riders when a car is double parked and, worse, puts lives at risk when a fire engine cannot pass a bus. This is a reasonable change of one way of the bus. St Johns would still shoulder the East bound route.
I recommend the MTA study the turn off NY onto Sterling to determines it is doable. Perhaps the new Citibike station could be shortened to allow for easier turning radius.

Comment: I am the President of Tompkins Avenue Merchant Association. Our main concern is the plan to get rid of the bus route from Tompkins Ave. we are a shopping district there is not a train nearby, therefore bus service is needed. taking away the bus route may slow down our foot traffic which can hurt businesses on the corridor.

There are enough people that use the bus here, particularly mothers and children heading towards the Brooklyn children's museum, that the need is certainly there. Removing the B43 from Brooklyn likely makes sense for the system but to also remove east-west stops in this area adds an additional burden for families, seniors and the disabled.

Comment: Wanted to give some feedback about Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn.   Recently I have noticed more private cars driving on the street.  I noticed bus transit signals in Queens (the signals for busses that have the white lines & dots on the traffic lights).  I believe that these could be implemented on Fulton St to provide better indication to drivers that they MUST turn at certain intersections.  Today there are intersections that have green traffic lights for all traffic directions, despite private cars being required to turn at the intersection - these traffic lights contradict the traffic signs, which in a busy area may be being ignored.   By having turning arrows for cars in Red/Yellow/Green drivers will have to follow that signage, while busses can utilize the Bus transit signals (the lines and dot white style signals) - this can greatly improve navigation and directions in the area for private cars.

For Fulton St in Downtown Brooklyn I'd also suggest painting the entry points of the bus lanes red to indicate to drivers that these are bus lanes only.  Today it's all the same color of concrete where private cars are allowed and only busses are allowed.   It could also be a good area for a traffic enforcement camera to photograph drivers driving in the bus only segments in order to prohibit private cars.

As a hardworking young woman, I speak on behalf of my self, the elderly and young adults who rely heavily on taking the express bus to and from work safely. These buses help avoid the subway which have been riddled with violent random attacks from the mentally ill. We pay twice as much on the express bus to avoid the subway for this reason. I myself have been a victim of assault on the subway. I work late in the city and taking the subway to Brooklyn at night is extremely dangerous Please I BEG YOU DO NOT REMOVE SERVICE FROM SEAGATE

Comment: The proposed plan of removing the section of the B48 route that connects Western Crown Heights to Williamsburg, Brooklyn is very frustrating. There is no way to get from one neighborhood to the other via public transportation without many out-of-the-way subway transfers. These two neighborhoods share similar demographics and business patrons. People want an easier connection from one neighborhood to the other, not a more difficult commute between them. Adding the Williamsburg leg to the B69 route does not help because that bus runs so infrequently on the weekends that it is rendered unusable. Further more, this proposed plan does not increase the frequency of the B69 at any point of any day. Having a bus arrive only once every half hour (at its very best) on the weekends is ridiculous. Plus, you would now be forcing Crown Heights residents to walk several avenue blocks (in the wrong direction) to Prospect Heights to catch the B69 to get to Williamsburg. Less we forget, for more than half the year the B69 route has to be completely altered on the weekends due to the popular Open Streets program on Vanderbilt Avenue, making the connection for Crown Heights residents seeking to commute to Williamsburg even more difficult.

Comment: Shortening the B103 will cause such a problem. Unless you make a serious dedicated Flatbush bus lane. But we will lose the Kensington to Park Slope to Downtown Brooklyn. People really use the B103.

Comment: I’m thinking about schools—kids and families (parents travel with young children). Agree with Jill about the B103, lots of travel from Kensington to schools along 4th and 3rd Avenue.

Comment: We need an intensive campaign to have truly dedicated high speed bus routes, especially on Flatbush ave. The traffic is ridiculous and it doesn't have to be that way. The B35 is the slowest bus in the city at some point. We need to be super strategic if we want people to get out of their cars!

Comment: B103 is used a lot. If I understand correctly that route will be moved over more than one route. School children will have to transfer, existing service to K280 will be more challenging. There is currently a stop that serves PS89 and MS890 - that is concerning. The less children that need to walk along Coney Island ave the better.

Comment: If B49 is changing its route then B1 and B68 will both service from the same subway station Brighton Beach, but eliminating service at Sheepshead Bay station to Manhattan Beach. This is giving less choices when on the train on the B and Q lines for students to Kingsborough Community College, workers at the Menorah Nursing Home, and the people of Manhattan Beach. Please consider reinstating the B49 to Manhattan Beach for possible choices. Thank you

Comment: For all the reasons that have been raised already - the college, nursing home, beach, park, etc. Ocean ave has a lot of new medical buildings. Labs, dental, surgeons, etc. All my doctors are on Ocean ave, and now I am wondering how I will get there if the B49 does not go there? It is crucial for Manhattan Beach residents to have this service.

Comment: The proposed re-routing for the B69 will be detrimental to those who rely on the current route to access the Navy Yard, a major supermarket, Vinegar Hill and Dumbo. There is no need to send the B69 to Greenpoint. The B67 currently goes to Williamsburg. Simply extend that route to Greenpoint, and also run that bus on the weekends - which currently does not occur. Your draft plan appears to favor the riders of the B67 whereas the riders of the B69 are left to struggle. Residential counts have significantly increased along Vanderbilt Avenue - from GAP to Flushing Ave. Those neighborhood residents, senior, children, ppl without cars rely on the current route to access daily services and entertainments. Your draft does not improve the B69 rider experience.

Comment: Hello, let me start by saying that I do love most of the plan. Overall, this seems like a great improvement to the borough's bus network. I do however have two suggestions which I feel would improve this plan even more. First, I would suggest that the B81's terminal be changed from Red Hook to Atlantic Avenue - Barclays Center via either 3rd or 4th avenue. Since this route is a direct replacement to the cut B103 section, it would make sense to have this route run along it's corridor to Atlantic Avenue, where riders would be able to continue on the new B41-SBS to continue into downtown Brooklyn. The B61 is currently enough to cover the section between 4th Av / 9th Street and Red Hook / Ikea.

Comment: Secondly, I would also suggest adding a stop for southbound BM3 and BM4 buses and variants of these two at McDonald Avenue and 20th Street. The routes already pass by this existing bus stop, which has been recently overhauled with a sidewalk protrusion and tactile strips. Adding a stop here would add very little time to the route itself, but would open up express buses to Windsor Terrace and Park Slope residents for the evening commute. Express buses are a much more popular form of transit post-pandemic, and allowing more riders to utilize them is a huge net positive. Thank you!

Comment: While I see the need for the B81, there's no reason the B103 should be shortened to Midwood at all times. Theres still demand for Midwood - Downtown service.

Comment: Ending the B103 here would cut off a huge part of the B103 route.  It removes access to Flatbush, Kensington, Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn for riders coming from Midwood and Canarsie.  There are no alternative bus lines or subway lines that provide the same access.  Terrible idea

Comment: Eliminating this portion of the B16 that runs up to the Lincoln Road entrance to Prospect Park is really annoying.  This also provided access to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Carousel and the Prospect Park Zoo.  Its hard to get from the neighborhoods west of the Park to this area.  And Prospect Park itself prevents buses from running through it, obviously.  I see that the new route for the B16 adds accessibility to East Flatbush, but it looks like riders have issues with that too along Clarkson.

Comment: Taking away the B103 from through Kensington would cause more congestion on the surounding lines of Coney Island Ave and Flatbush Ave. A lot of students going to Midwood H.S. and Brooklyn College take the B103, and if removed would mean at minimum 2 buses to get to school and or work because the trains will take you in a loop to get to Brooklyn Junction.

Comment: B62 - Can this route go slightly deeper into Brooklyn heights? Closer to the high st station on Camden plaza west? This would be huge for bk heights residents as this would make our trip to Williamsburg/greenpoint/astoria much easier. Considering that there are many subway stations here, it would be convenient for many.

Comment: Extend the B5 Limited on to the Belt Parkway at Erkine Street to the Lefferts Boulevard exit (off of the Nassau Expressway exit) to terminate at Lefferts Boulevard - JFK Airport AIRTRAIN Station. B5 Limited passengers would still have acess to the Gateway Center Mall with the two proposed stops along Erskine Street plus this would provide southwest Brooklyn passengers faster access to JFK Airport.  Also try to have B5 Limited terminate at 92nd Street/4th Avenue or 86th Street/4th Avenue, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn instead of Gravesend, Brooklyn to provide acesss for S53, S93 & S79 (Staten Island passengers) access to JFK Airport as well.

Comment: B53 - The headways seem long, but more detailed frequencies would help be able to determine if this is an improvement or not.

Potential East New York Depot route, B24 and B38 currently come out of Grand Av Depot

Q24 no longer on Broadway, those Depot Operators will be happy now.

Need to see the numbers on this one, and work split to form a final opinion.

Comment: the B16 should continue down Ft Hamilton. The isochrone map from this location shows terrible travel times to Park Slope and Winsdor Terrace, which is not helped by the B16 taking a circuitous route. Furthermore, Ft Hamilton is a busy commercial corridor with a lot of travel demand, including maimonodies hospital. 13th/14th aves should get their own route

Comment: Please do not gut the interborough (BM) express bus services, as proposed. In the plan, nearly every BM bus route will suffer a reduction in services. The changes will represent a drastic cut in services for commuters like myself and my wife and my neighbors who do not feel safe commuting from Brooklyn to Manhattan on the subway system, which takes longer and also requires more transfers. The BM express buses are best thing the MTA does. Unlike the rest of the system, they are easy, convenient and efficient--and therefore should be invested in, not gutted. This is exactly the wrong-headed absurdity of the MTA--take the one bright spot in the system and destroy it.

Comment: The B69 needs to have more frequent service so that it can connect residents in Prospect heights to Park Slope, Windsor Terrace and Kensington. Students rely on this service as their sole transportation option - service running every 8 minutes (before delays) is not going to get them to class on time and forces them to wait outside in cold, rain and snow. There is no point in having a bus line if it runs less frequently than every 5 minutes. Buses should be of equal priority to subways and has felt neglected since the 80s, even though they are the sole method of transportation for so many transportation deserts and help to connect parts of BK that are not connected by subway.

Comment: Create a parallel B8 XT route from 95th Street/4th Avenue, Bay Ridge that would operate with limited stops in Brooklyn along current B8 route but the B8 XT route but the B8 XT route would be extened further east of Brookdale Hospital along Linden Boulevard to JFK Airport thus could replace the proposed B55 XT as the B8 XT would provide additional transfers to the Staten Island (SI) routes so theose SI passengers would faster access JFK airport which is not availble under the B55XT route proposal.   Some B8 SBS buses should also be destined for Cross Bay Boulevard/Pitkin Avenue at thirty minute service intervals (to this separate branch) while all other B8 buses would go directly from Linden Boulevard to JFK Airportat at a greater frequency  than the other JFK Airport branch.  The B15 would remain lhe same local route to JFK airport from Central Brooklyn including New Lots Avenue thus still connecting the route to the IRT #3 Subway Station and the  "L" Subway  Station along New Lots Avenue.

Comment: I understand why you are rerouting the Express busses from Cortelyou to Beverly and moving the stops to last east/west stop to Coney Island Avenue instead of Cortelyou (and the busses will move much faster) but Coney Island Avenue in this area is quite unsafe and the sidewalks are designing for pedestrians waiting for busses. Please couple this change with the installation of safety features for those that will now be waiting for their bus on Coney Island Avenue.

Comment: The new B63 route along McGuinness will hopefully add faster transit times across the north/south axis in Brooklyn. It should go hand-in-hand with an overall improved street design for McGuinness, though, so that it becomes easier to cross the street to get to the right bus stop. A second stop along the Greenpoint section of McGuinness would also be essential.

Comment: I would propose eliminating the B16 bus stop on the corner of Clarkson and Flatbush and keeping the one on Clarkson and Bedford so that we could improve service times and traffic flow.  This is a short block and two subway stops on Clarkson, both between Flatbush and Bedford, serves to unnecessarily slow down the bus, increasing service times.  In addition, the last two years there has been approximately 110 new units of housing on Clarkson Avenue between Flatbush and Bedford.  With the new units comes new trucks and Amazon deliveries backing up traffic on Clarkson.  Many of these new residents are using the subway and Revel to travel to downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan.  They are using the bus too, but not the B16 connecting East Flatbush to Ft. Hamilton.  One bus stop on the corner of Clarkson and Bedford could suffice.

That would be a game changer. Thank you for this change.

Comment: Why not just combine the B49 route with the B36 route to Coney Island & Seagate uilizing B36 routing west of Coney Island Avenue  thus the B49 would also serve Coney Island Hospital at Ocean parkway rather than the B44 SBS.   The B68 could remain as currently & still serve Coney Island as well & the B44 Local & B44SBS toutes be rerouted along Avenue Z to travel to Manhattan Beach & Kingsborough Community College via East 14th Street, Sheepshead Bay Road  &West End Avenue etc.

Comment: Another option revise B49 route to serve Emmons Avenue (both directions)  or Shore Pkwy(e/b)/Emmons Avenue(w/b) to Knapp Street then to Voorhies Avenue to provide increase bus service to the Sheepshead Bay Subway Station then the current B4 route now does for that area.  Revise the path of both the B44 local & B44SBS routes at Avenue Z/Nostrand Avenue to travel to the Sheepshead Bay Subway Station and then to Manhattan Beach & Kingsborough Community College via current B49 routing. The B36 route path could also be revised at Avenue Z/Ocean Avenue to serve Emmons Avenue between Ocean Avenue and Nostrand Avenue and then back on Nostrand Avenue or possibly Knapp Street to Gerritsen Avenue/Avenue U then to Kings Plaza. The B68 route  could remain as is currently traveling to Coney Island.

Comment: The bus stop sign should be  moved further down the block so it's in front of 1185 myrtle ave. Currently, the bus signage is somewhat obscured and the location of the bus stop is in the entrance/exit area of the gas station (i.e. the bus stop location is somewhat difficult to identify and unsafe).

Comment: Please KEEP the B61 route running from 15th and PPW to Greenwood Cemetery. That stop near Greenwood is a lifeline for kids attending 3 schools in the Bishop Ford Building, including a large pre-K center K280 and two middle schools. It is unfathomable to me that the MTA would eliminate a huge portion of a bus route that services school aged children and their families! Shame on you, MTA, for not considering that before making this terrible choice.

Comment: Since a lot of Kingsborough Community College (KCC) students utilize the B49 Limited to the college indicates clearly indicates that the B44 SBS & B44 Local route should both be extended to the Kingsborough Community College to better replace the B49 route rather than the B68 route, however the B68 route could also serve the Manharran Beach & KCC as well since its far enough distance between the Coney Island Avenue and Nostrand Avenue corridors.

Comment: This new bus route would be much more useful if it ran through the tunnel into lower Manhattan. Currently local residents going to lower Manhattan are stuck in bqe traffic on Columbia Street in the b61. The b61 does not go where they want to go. In downtown Brooklyn they transfer to the subway. It takes about 30 minutes to make a 5 to 10 minute trip.

Comment: To whomever this Carl Perrera guy is....I'm a regular Q8 rider, and what you are saying about the stop removals isn't nearly as drastic as it looks. The first Queens Draft was a bigger disaster than this idea for the Q8. The stops taken away from the line this time around were well-thought out, since most of them are low-ridership stops....you clearly don't know the ridership usage or the communties that use the line, so stop speaking for people and communities you clearly know nothing about. It's annoying seeing you comment EVERYWHERE for EVERYBODY while not knowing anything about these bus routes.....

Was always a safe option for a single woman at that time of night.unless the subway safety is improved, it will cost more for working late shift workers and first responded to use other forms of transportation.

And I disagree that the Bronx local bus redesign had feedback considered after implementation...you guys changed the Bx28/34 at the last minute and did not consider alternate suggestions that would've maintained the benefits of both the original system and the earlier drafts...you just threw up your hands and maintained those routes as-is with all of their problems. I would love to be proven wrong...please reach out to me to further discuss this in further detail. Who can I send my email address to for further discussion?

Comment: The proposed changes to the Q35 are also terrible. The changes are geared towards getting riders from the Junction to the beach with few stops. But for those of us who ride the bus regularly in the summer to get to the beach, the changes result in an ordeal of having to change buses (from the B41 to the Q35) for Marine Park residents, while burdened with beach chairs, towels, cooler, etc.

Comment: Yes per your encouragement  I think on Q35 bus stop is needed in avenue as and avenue U.  Avenue U is very crowded.  Avenue U also is used a lot.  The next stop is quite a few blocks up which is Quentin road.  So I don’t  think they are too close

Comment: The BM4 should continue as is. Routing the bus to the east side does not serve all of the employees working on the west side. I think more BM4 buses should be added. I used to live in bay ridge and a bus came every 10 minutes during rush hour. Here it comes only ever 30-40 minutes and that is when it actually arrives. Sometimes it never shows us.

Comment: BM4 is already spotty service.  If you miss a bus you are stuck waiting at least a half hour because mostly all buses are late.  The only people who have great express bus service are those where the buses merge and if they miss a bus another one is always coming (ex. after getting to ocean avenue).

Comment: Keep the B82 local as is - if you push it closer to the B82-SBS it will create more walking time to the buses. We really struggle already in this area with limited buses and long walking distances to them. If anything, INCREASE the frequency of the buses in this area. Someone living in CT gets to Grand Central at the same time as someone living in this part of Brooklyn. 1.5 hours…

On the B43 South running currently on Brooklyn Avenue: It runs by the children’s museum and the Botanical Garden. It will be greatly missed by the community.

Comment: The removal of the B41 Bergen Beach is very inconvenient. It would make it much more inconvenient for people living in Bergen Beach/Mill Basin to get downtown. Having to take 2 buses to get from Mill Basin/BB to Atlantic Ave or Cadman Plaza, for example, is unnecessarily inconvenient.Further, removing the bus stop at Flatbush Ave/Troy Ave on the B41 line is also very inconvenient. Many people living in BB/Mill Basin walk to Flatbush and Troy to get the bus downtown on off-peak/weekends when the buses from Veterans Ave are too infrequent. This would mean that we would have to again take 2 buses if we want an express bus to shorten our commute.

Comment: If you really must create a new line for the B41 Bergen Beach, then please have it go all the way Downtown Brooklyn. And please increase the frequency. We shouldn't have to take 2 buses to get to the same destination we are currently able to reach on 1 bus. That's a downgrade in service. And again, please do not get rid of the Flatbush and Troy stop. That is a major transfer point for a lot of people and a life-saver for people who cannot get a bus to or from Veterans ave on off-peak times/weekends.

Comment: Hi everyone,   My concern is the B41/B40. I am thrilled that we will have our very own "B40" on Avenue N that will be a "rush" bus. My concern is the B40 does not go far enough downtown. The new B40 ends at Empire Blvd. This is literally our only way downtown , can the B40 go a bit further ? Maybe to at least Grand Army Plaza ? Ending at Empire Blvd is premature and we must think about residents who are handicapped and then have to get on and off twice.

Comment: The commute along the B41 Bergen Beach is already very difficult due to the infrequency of the buses. These proposals are isolating us even more. And the bus ridership has increased over the years due to changing demographics. You'd be making life a lot harder for us. Also, the accessibility issues along the proposed B40 rush is concerning. The distance between stops seems inconvenient for older people and disabled people.

Comment: I posted in 6:30 but needed to log off due to NYC DOE parent teacher conferences , many friends can not come on. My concern is the B40/B41. I am thrilled the B40 will be on avenue N replacing the B41 Bergen Beach route. My concern is that it ends on Empire Blvd. Most people will have to get off and transfer anyway. Maybe be extended to at least Grand Army Plaza if can not go to Cadman plaza. This means elderly and disabled may have to get on and off multiple times. I will add, as per the census, this area 11234 and 11236 has the oldest populations. We have neighbors . The b40 should get us more in the center of downtown brooklyn, even if a few super limited spaced out stops

Comment: We really can not get far on the B40 , so while it is a great idea, we will not get far and need to get off. I wonder if the constant need for us to get off or individuals with disabilities would end up causing more travel time on the b41 and crowding

Comment: The B40 is very important and I do love the idea. We just may need a few extra stops or spaced out further apart stops to get this area downtown with ease.

Comment: How can you eliminate B4 westbound stop at Ave Z and E 15 Street when that serves Sheepshead Bay Station? B4 eastbound stop on Shore Parkway and Shore Parkway and E 16 Street is in front of a fitness center and serves the commercial area along Sheepshead Bay Rd. Eliminating it saves no time.

Comment: You are proposing on having no bus stops for the B4 westbound between Shore Parkway/Sheepshead Bay Rd and E 14 Street, distance of 2,100 feet which about 3/8 of a mile. That stretch between bus stops is lined with five six story apartment houses. How can you say you carefully considered each bus stop removed?

Comment: The proposed B41 crosstown looks promising, I would argue that the B3 needs a similar option as it already suffers from overcrowding, multiple buses coming back to back at once, and generally slow trip progression up or down Ave U.

Comment: With the elimination of the B2, there will be no direct link from the KH station to Kings Plaza. Many people work at Kings Plaza and use the B or the Q to get to the KH stop, and then the B2 from there. With the proposal, these individuals will have to either (a) take the Q to Avenue U and take the B3 (much slower and longer because the Q is local) or take the B and then take the Q (also slower because you’d be changing trains and will have to wait.)

Comment: B2 should not be retired. There are many people that rely on that bus since it is the least congested of b100 and b3. The route helps those that cannot walk or get to those other two buses. There are not that many buses in Marine Park. The community depends on that bus to get us to other locations. Also by eliminating the b2, the customers still need to walk more to get to the other buses anyway, negating any benefits from b100

Comment: Why are you cutting Flatbush Ave service north of Empire Blvd in half when Downtown Brooklyn is the fastest growing part of the borough? Also, cutting B25 service to Downtown Brooklyn. You state one thing in the Existing Conditions Report and do the opposite in your proposals. Downtown Brooklyn needs more service not less service. You just want to force everyone onto already overcrowded subways. If these people wanted to ride the subway, they would be making their trip on the subway now, not on the bus.

Comment: I know the redesign plan will claim that the removal of the B2 is a step towards improving overall service. But addition by subtraction is not an acceptable plan for my district. To us, consolidation is just another word for cuts. We live in a transportation desert; my constituents want more transit options not less.

Comment: I live by one of the B2 stops, outside of rush hour it's a not really well ridden. I think making it available during high needs times is the best compromise

Comment: This chat has made it completely apparent that nobody wants the B2 line to be removed. While I understand this is a draft proposal, if the final plan removes the B2 anyways, it would be a complete misrepresentation of the concerns voiced today. Please do not betray our hard working community.

Comment: If they take the B2 away. I would mean no direct access to Kings Plaza and some would have to walk from Fillmore Ave to Flatbush Ave and or take a second bus to get to Kings Hwy station and or wherever passenger would have to go

Comment: B2 should remain as is with no changes going from East 16 St station of B & Q train to Kings Plaza Mall. B2 should remain on Ave R and not move from Ave R.  if moved, it would be a hardship for riders, especially older people, such as myself and cause a longer walk to bus stops and no direct bus to Kings Plaza Mall.

Comment: Accessible does not mean convenient. (Re: getting to Kings Plaza from KH station.) Yes, you could still get there without the B2 (by taking the B3) but it would add time, annoyance, hardship. Having to take the Q longer to Avenue U and also if you are taking the B train, you’d have to x-fer to the Q which adds time.

Comment: I think both are needed. The 100 because many students use the bus and let’s them off right in front of each school. ps207, marine park and Madison.  Where the B2 is also crowded during peak hours it isn’t jam packed since it doesn’t pass many schools.  I do notice a log of students use it to get to St edmunds

Comment: @Tori Winters re the B2, that doesn't help people in the Marine Park neighborhood who want to go to Kings Plaza and don't live near Flatbush Ave or the train station. Marine Park is very isolated and we need more buses not less. I and my 2 kids with disabilities depend on the B2

Comment: Two questions.  Why not have the new B40 END at the junction…Flatbush at Nostrand.  Most residents that will take that bus transfer to the 2/5 train.  Others can transfer to the B41.  Second, why not have the B100 stay on Ocean Avenue to Avenue P and take that to E16th St.

Comment: The B2 has been on the MTA’s chopping block for a long time. While on paper, it may appear that it is duplicative of the B100 as the routes are only one block away from one another, but this does not reflect reality on the ground and will present a tremendous hardship to our community. The B100 is already tremendously overly crowded; rerouting the B2 customers onto the B100 will make the situation untenable. The new proposal states that the B100 will see an increase in service, with 6 minutes of headway between buses during peak hours. This is not true, as the current B100 schedule (currently unavailable online) has 5 minutes of headway.

Comment: -Eliminating the B2 will create overcrowding on the B100 which already exits. -How are people from avenue t supposed to get the b100-Theres not enough buses to accomodate everyone-From 7-8am its impossible to get on a bus on the b100 due to all the kids going to the high school and train-The first b100 bus doesnt start until 5:25am. How are people who are supposed to be at work at 7am supposed to get to the train?-We should be adding more express buses to get out of this two fair zone.-I do agree that the b100 has too many stops maybe eliminate some of those. That is the ONLY thing i agree with for this plan.

Comment: We need to keep the B2 to get to Kings Plaza and the train station. We are isolated as it is and need more buses, not to take them away. The B100 is packed with kids going to 2 schools along the route in the mornings. It is also unfair to the elderly if they need to walk extra blocks to get the B100 and how will they get to Kings Plaza? Very bad idea

Comment: My son, who is in the 6th grade and rides the B100 to school, expressed that the proposed elimination of the B2 makes him fear for his safety as the increased number of people on the B100 will make him feel uncomfortable, with more people pressed up against him on a more crowded bus.

Comment: Why are you not increasing service to the B100 when you are eliminating the B2. Do you actually expect the B100 to absorb ridership from the B2 without causing over crowding. The B 100 is proposed for 6 minute AM, 7 minute PM and 15 minute midday service, which the same as it currently runs. How are you improving service for residents of Marine Park by requiring longer walks for everyone to get to a bus stop?

Comment: 1. The b100 is always crowded. I have seen on a number of occasions it being so crowded that it will skip over stops, particularly when students are getting to and from school. If the B2 gets discontinued, all of those people who would've just taken the B2 will now have to take the b100 - only exacerbating the issue. 2.  Ignoring for a moment the importance of the direct line on the b2 between the mall and the kings highway train station, several stops on the b100 are going to be removed under this proposition. These neighborhoods have a significant elderly community, many of whom rely on the bus. Removing stops would be a disservice to the elderly and disabled, in particular.If the MTA refuses to build out the subway system in this part of Brooklyn  - whether it be because of lack of resources of any other reason - then the buses MUST pick up the slack. How exactly does cutting lines and removing stops for residents who rely on it help with anything except your bottom line?

Comment: The B2 is the way in and out of Marine Park.  This bus is extremely important for the people in the neighborhood.  There are a Iot of elderly who rely on the B2 and eliminating it and having to use the B100 would be detrimental to them.

Comment: The B2 should not be eliminated as it will only add more pressure to the B100 line in a transportation desert. It acts as such a reliable shuttle between Kings Plaza and the Kings Highway subway station.

Comment: I have to leave early but I'm happy to see so much support for B2. I reside in marine park and agree with all comments re B2. B100 is terribly overcrowded, doesn't extend to Kings Plaza and doesn't traverse the north south stretch of E36 st the way b2 does. Elderly people rely on it for these purposes. Please augment bus service in this neighborhood instead of eliminating.

Comment: I and many other attendees in the larger group meeting requested many times that the B2 should not be eliminated. Expecting the B100 to be adequate for the combined B2 & B100 communities is not good planning. There are rapid demographic changes taking place in these areas and many affected members of the public are unable to voice their opposition to the proposed B2/B100 changes due to language or communication issues.

Comment: I stated this before but not sure if it will be noted in the breakout room. My son, who is in the 6th grade, takes the B100. He stated that he feels that the proposed elimination of the B2 will make him feel less safe on the bus due to the influx of riders on the bus and the crowding factor.

Comment: The B100 is closer to my house than the B2. I walk like 4 blocks to the B2 cause the 100 is just too inconsistent  and gets so crowded. They always come 3 at once.  Or the crowded one stops to pick up passengers while the empty one passes right by.

Comment: Hi. This is another request for the B2 not to be removed. While I understand that improvements need to be made, removing an entire line and crowding another is counterproductive. Not only is the B100 technically not increasing service, but you're asking people to walk more and property values to take a dip (easy access to public transportation was something that was included in my property value report). Please consider the elderly, disabled, property owners, young kids, and the community in general (especially in Marine Park) who wish to see connections to trains and other buses made easier and not harder with longer walks, less lines of service, and more wait times in more fully loaded buses.

Comment: The B100 is overcrowded as it is. Adding the influx of B2 riders strains credulity. How anyone can think this is a feasible solution is hard to understand. The B100 (according to the document) will “increase” headway between buses to every 6 minutes during peak times, but they currently run every 5 minutes during peak times, and it’s still packed.

Comment: I agree with the sentiments here re the B2. The B100 is already very over crowded with students like others have said. Especially in the mornings or when school lets out. Ive also had additional empty buses pass by the stop only to leave everyone to cram onto the crowded B100 that had stopped. What good is it to add more buses if they arent even stopping?

This comment is not mean to be disrespectful but to educate the people trying to make this change

Comment: I am also against the proposal to move the B100 bus stop from in front of Madison HS. While the school is not in the district I represent, many of my high school-aged students do attend Madison and use the B100 to travel to and from school. The convenience of having the bus stop in front of the school is important to our community.

Comment: Decreasing B100 bus at night is not ideal. What about people who work nights? Sometimes i leave work around 9pm and get to the kings highway station around 9:30/9:40pm. Sometimes i wait for a bus for 30 mins which is absurd. More buses should be added

Comment: B100 - although my children are not in Middle or high school yet,, I believe EVERY middle or high school must have a bus within reasonable distance if not the block of. The B100 should stop in front of the high school. Safety is a big concern now across the city. Parents do not want kids wandering or run into incidents enroute to the bus. Please try to look at public high schools to make sure buses are there.

Comment: There should be another route on 13th ave, instead of having the B64 run the way it does, but the B64 should go south by the VA hospital (which would be great because it would provide connectivity to the east) via Bath, Cropsey, to 95th st station. Create a separate route that ends at 86th and 13th.

Comment: What is the cost of deadheading and split shifts for the remaining express bus routes? Can those be reduced in favor of additional local bus service all-day? Express bus riders west of Bedford Ave would be well served by frequent local bus service to an express subway (the B, D, N, or 5) instead, and that could cost a lot less

Comment: The express bus - changing the route from Cortelyou to beverly - it is one lane in each direction residential street. You are putting big intercity buses on that street? There's pollution, and the express bus doesn’t have any problem turning from Cortelyou onto Coney Island ave. There's less traffic there actually.

Comment: I reviewed the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign and I have the following comment: I noticed that the B71 Union Street bus has not been reinstated. I believe that a reinstatement of the B71 Union Street bus is a valuable cross town Brooklyn bus for people that commute from Gowanus to and from other areas of Brooklyn and would take some automobile traffic off side streets. I live on St Johns Place between 7th and 8th avenues and every weekday PM rush hour there is a large amount of automobile traffic is routed up St Johns place. I think better transit options are invaluable to solve this issue due to limited capacity on side streets and believe your committee should look into the B71 reinstatement.

Comment: It makes so much sense for the B45 to turn right on New York and then left on Sterling.  The B45 delays on Saint Johns between Rogers and New York are terrible and there have been so many accidents.  Narrow streets are not a good place to have two way bus traffic.  The west bound bus currently turns right on Rogers and left on Sterling and that works beautifully.  I support continuing the one way only east bound B45 bus route for the two short blocks of Saint Johns Place between Rogers and New York Ave.

Comment: I saw the plan to remove the B2 bus route and this is a terrible idea! The idea that the B100 will take on the extra people from the B2 route will not work. The B100 is not even capable of handling the people now. The B100 stops directly in front of two public schools and is always packed. By the nostrand Ave/Quentin road stop, the bus is over capacity and you can?t get on. The B2 is 100% necessary. The B2 goes directly to a busy train station and is always crowded. Save the B2!

Comment: None of my past comments regarding the bus stop eliminations on the Q8 route under the Queens Bus Network Redesign Plan were taken seriously and the proposed elimiated stops are remaining the same.  The Q8 route is a poor choice for limited stop service and the route should revert back to a local (green) route with all current local bus stops remaining.  With only one lane of traffic each direction along 101st Avenue and dozens of traffic lights it doesn't make sense to convert the Q8 route from a local route to a limited stop route.  Many of the bus stops you rare prposed removing have nearby traffic lights so the bus has to stop anyway at the traffic light, yet you still removed to stop.   Some riders will have to cross large intersections such as Woodhaven Boulevard to make certain transfers in certain directions.  Removing bus stops along the Q8 route will NOT speed up the bus along this coridor but just reduce ridership. Atlantic Avenue having less traffic lights and more lanes of traffic would have been a wiser choice for a limited stop service between East New York, Brooklyn and Jamaica.    If this route goes through as proposed  ridership will decrease on the central segment of the route for City Line, Ozone Park & South Richmond Hill passengers. and most of those passengers will opt for ride share services such as Uber & Lyft.,

Comment: Horrible Idea! How about this: B66 Runs between Broadway Jct and Williamsburg Bridge Plaza via Bushwick Av and Grand St with the Q59, a bus route that does go to Bridge Plaza.This bus route will turn on Driggs Av and end on Lane 3 with the B46 It's a shocker to me that Bushwick Av does not have a dedicated bus line to it. Especially because it has lots of transfers, which should be a priority when it comes to making new bus line. I'd be grateful if you consider my request. Thank you.

Comment: Good morning. I need the B20, so I can transfer to Q58 to get to Metropolitan Ave. I don't do trains, because I had Knee surgery. It's hard for me to walk up or down the stairs. Will need another surgery on my other knee. There's no elevator or escalator at Fresh Pond Road Station. That's why the B20 is convenient for me to get to work. Please reconsider keeping the B20 going towards Fresh Pond Road. Not everyone works in the Manhattan, some of us riders do work in Queens. Thank You.

Comment: 1 Please realize that passenger count is way off. When I ride I listen to the bus register beeps . Half the time it BURPS! meaning the passenger is using an invalid Meto Card. 2 school kids BUMRUSH the rear door or just walk on with out registering the farebox. 3 Some people talk nice to the driver and are waved in. As they pass by me, I hear coins jingling in their pockets. 4 Industry City (nee Bush Terminal) has become a shopping center. More bus routes should go there with more frequent scheduling (i.e. The B37) 5 Ceazers Bay and BJ's on Shore Parkway, if not served by MORE bus lines, should continue to be served by the B6. The B6 line is the only route the can turn round to get a passenger back to where they came from after completing their shopping. 6 The B38 should still terminate at Metropolitan Avenue. I need it to transfer to the Q56 to get to Middle Village and St. John Cemetery. 7 "Interboro Bus Routes" should do exactly that, i.e. cross borough lines and transfer to and from M B Q and Bx lines.

Comment: When they revised the B62 route into a faster limited route  which is good because its now a longer route, however you left an area along Kent Avenue/Wythe Avenue between Broadway and Flushing Avenue with no local bus service.  B27 or B67 could be extended to Williamsburg Bridge Plaza provide local service to that area. Also everyone  likes bus service to Wegmans Food Market so taking the B57 off of Flushing Avenue would then no longer have the B57 serve that shopping destination.  A separate Park Avenue bus service needs to be explored.  The B15 could be extended further north to connect with the Q54/Q59 at Grand Street and the Q68 at Metropolitan Avenue at Graham Avenue.

Comment: Sure get rid of the Starr Street/Metropolitan Avenue/Grandview Avenue Branch of the B38 route after the MTA utilized my suggestion many years ago to have this branch of the  B38 route  extended further north from Stanhope Street to its current terminal to provide transfer to the Q54 and B57 routes.  What will serve this area now?

Comment: Extend the B7 route to Metropolitan Avenue/Fresh Pond Road via Forest Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue, Eliot Avenue & Fresh Pond Road or via Fresh Pond Road, MetroPolitan Avenue, 60th Lane, Eliot Avenue and Fresh Pond Road. Provides addional transfers between the B7 route and the Q54, Q38 & Q47 routes.  If Fresh Pond Road routing is utilized and the B7 would no longer loop to Forest Avenue (via Putnam Avenue/67th Avenue) then the B38 suggested extension to Forest Avenue as was suggested in my B38 comments would then be needed to be revised to have the B38 extended further east from Forest Avenue to Fresh Pond Road via 67th Avenue/Putnam Avenue.

There is a a public school campus around the corner and many of those students use this stop to catch the bus.

Don't remove it!

Comment: I recently file a complaint on February 4th, 2023, case# 03000995. I requested for the B46 Select to make an extra stop on the B46 Bus Stop located on Utica Avenue at the intersection of Fillmore Avenue. The Select Bus is an express bus and therefore does not make a stop at that BUS STOP. However, that Bus Stop has a lot of foot traffic and it allows commuters to transfer to 3 different other buses; the B41, B9 and the B100. Additional, a lot of the neighbors are elderly people, and they are forced to walk 3 long blocks on Utica Avenue to Avenue N, or wait in different inhuman weather for the bus. The neighbors and myself are simply requesting for the bus to make a stop and pick up the commuters at the bus instead of driving right in front of us without stopping. We are pleading and begging for the bus to simply make an extra stop to pick up the commuters. Thank you for your understanding and all of your help in advance.

Comment: B64- cut of service west of 4th ave is concerning. This connects students west of busy roads. A new senior center is going to be opened on Bay Ridge Ave that will need bus service. Understands that B9 is proposed as alternative, but for many of those who use this route, they would now need to make a connection. What if the bus were extended down shore road instead? This little section of the bus is really important.

Comment: Perhaps you should bring back the B84 bus route to serve the Shirley Chisholm State Park. The routing could be almost the same as the current B84 route except the B84 route should travel along Vandalia Avenue and Erskine Street in both directions and then travel along Seaview Avenue to Fountain Avenue and then terminate on its southern end at the Shirley Chisholm State Park.

Review ridership, proposed level of service, and consider revising.
Maybe instead of sending to New Lots, send it to Gateway, but counterclockwise, down Schenck Av. Have it end where the B84 ends now. This would also get the route closer to Spring Creek

She said her husband’s aides depend on this bus service to get them to her home. The B82 on Kings Highway is too far for them to use and walk to her home.  She said the B2 is always crowded she cannot understand why they are doing away with it.

Wouldn't it be better to consolidate both the stops to a single stop?

Comment: Re B6 to Harway Ave. - Removing the Bay Parkway Cropsey Avenue stop makes no sense. Many riders take this bus to destination of Ceasar's Bay Shopping Center and the Shore Road walking path. Since the route will no longer go to Shore Road, instead of simply walking from Cropsey Avenue and Bay Parkway, riders will be forced to either - transfer to the B82 at Bath Avenue and Bay Parkway, adding to travel time - or walking back from Cropsey Avenue and 23rd Avenue, which is not a short distance and then crossing heavy traffic intersection. The bus is passing the corner of Bay Parkway and Cropsey Avenue anyway in order to make the turn onto Cropsey Avenue and should continue to stop there. Thank you

Comment: Hello, I have been a resident of the Bath Beach neighborhood for 7 years. I live about 20 minutes on foot from the D train and for the past 7 years, the X28 and X38 bus lines have been critical in getting me into Manhattan. I have taken those buses before, during, and after pandemic. I believe it is the wrong decision to remove the 15th Avenue express stop and add new stop at Bay 7th Street. I can understand keeping the B8 local bus stop there, but the Bay 7th Street in front of the park service very little riders taking the express bus. Furthermore, as a licensed Civil PE in the State of NY, I can tell you the local signals to get from Bay 8th Street to Bay 7th Street, in confluence with all merging traffic onto and out of Belt Parkway makes it the least accessible bus stop in the neighborhood. This is very evident every morning when most local residents gather at the 15th Avenue stop. Furthermore, routing so many buses to stop on the merge lane to Belt Parkway will be an absolute nightmare for traffic flow and will not improve your service. Removing the 15th Avenue bus stop is a poor and misinformed choice. KEEP ALL 15TH AVE BUS STOPS AS IS, no need to remove or add the Bay 7th stop.

Comment: The now defunct B71 bus line should be brought back so that residents in red hook, Carroll Gardens & Park Slope have an accessible way to visit these neighborhoods as well as the cultural resources of Prospect Park, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, and Brooklyn children?s Museum - all now impossible for many to reach because of no direct bus or subway lines - especially for the elderly and people with physical challenges. What once was a 20-minute bus ride became a nearly hour-long commute requiring 2 buses and a needless trip into downtown Brooklyn to get to the library where I worked. In fact it?s quicker to get to midtown Manhattan from Carroll Gardens than to the Brooklyn Museum. This is a non-brainer - especially now with the development planned for Gowanus.

Comment: Agree with these comments. The B71 needs to be restored via Union Street, and ideally extended to Lower Manhattan via the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel to boost ridership. (But at a minimum, the old route should be restored. Ridership went up 29% in the 5 year period preceding the service elimination in 2010).

Comment: Please bring back the bus route that traveled along Union Street from Red Hook through Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Park Slope and beyond. I think it was the B61 and was one of the few ways to link all of those neighborhoods and was a very popular route which was used by lots of kids going to school as well as residents of all of those neighborhoods.

Comment: The MTA should take into account the need level and lack of alternatives. For example, the B71 bus used to connect the Columbia Waterfront to Crown Heights via Union Street and Eastern Parkway. It was discontinued due to "lower-than-average ridership," but for the riders who used to take this route it was a lifeline.

Comment: The removal of the B71 and B75 bus routes in 2010 discontinued all connections between Park Slope and the Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens neighborhoods which created a huge inconvenience for people travelling to schools, doctors and hostpitals, for whom the subway is not an option.

Comment: The B45 should run across Union Street to replace the former B71, since the B65 is routed over to Washington Street and Atlantic Avenue. (In that case, the only stop without service would be the one at Prospect Place).

Comment: Looking at this plan I can see the MTA has already missed the bus by not bringing back the B71! The communities it served tried multiple times to bring it back, but were crushed by the bean counters and experts that claim to know better than the people who actually ride buses. The B71 was the best and most direct route from Columbia Waterfront to Crown Hieghts and vice versa and now we are expected to spend 3 times as much time on the other routes to get to our destinations! Looking forward to the community meetings, but very discouraged by this ?redesign plan?.

Comment: I encourage the MTA to restore the B71 bus service through Cobble Hill and Park Slope and beyond. It provides worthwhile public transport to one of the centers of cultural and recreational life in Brooklyn, namely Prospect Park, the main Brooklyn Library, the Brooklyn Museum and the BBG. These would all receive more traffic with restoration of the B71.

Comment: As a resident of Red Hook, a neighborhood not served at all by the subways, I'm particularly aware of how important our bus services are to the neighborhood. While I'm pleased to learn of the increase in bus routes passing through Red Hook in the draft plan, I'm disappointed that no Express bus between Red Hook and Manhattan will be part of the project. Red Hook is extremely close to the Carey Tunnel (10 min drive or less to FiDi) -- yet somehow, that fact only benefits those of our neighbors with access to cars, or with a budget for Ubers, leaving the rest of our neighbors with only infrequent ferry service. Given our proximity to Hamilton Avenue and the BQE, I wish to strongly register my support for a bus route traveling from Red Hook via the Carey Tunnel into Manhattan (to Fidi or, ideally, Midtown), helping to make Red Hook a little bit less of a transit desert.

Terminate at Red Hook Atlantic Basin for connection to ferries.

Comment: I am resigned to the fact that you've eliminated the stops I use on the B63, B67, and B69. But I want to put in a comment about the Union Street bus that was discontinued years ago (don't recall the number). It went from Crown Heights to the waterfront and was the best way to get from Park Slope/Prospect Heights to Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill. If that bus existed people from my area (near Prospect Park) would use it to patronize shops and restaurants there. Now I don't because getting there involves the subway and a lot of walking.

Comment: 1. Since so many older people and young children/caregivers use buses, it is critical that you not make the stops more spread out. Additional walking distance is a barrier to people using buses. 2. The area in Gowanus, from cobble hill Carroll gardens to park slope has seen a tremendous increase in population. Absolutely must reinstate bus service from Columbia street to grand army plaza area.

That trip around GAP is awful. The bus gets held up as soon as it's on Flatbush. Consider rerouting on Park Pl and Sterling Pl (this is about the B69)

Comment: To fix Red Hook have the B61 Run Local from IKEA To Jay St and Fulton. Then have it go limited from there to Queens. Have the B62 run local from Downtown Brooklyn to Queens as well. Bring the B71 back and bring that to IKEA as well. It's a terminal after all. Next bring the B77 back going from Red Hook (like it used to do) to 20th Street in Park Slope either that or let it end at Church Ave with the B67. B57 is trash but it is what it is.

Comment: Hi, I would like to request that the B48 bus be kept as is. The proposed change to end it at the top of Clinton Hill would make the trip from Crown Heights, an area from which it is very difficult to get to North Brooklyn by train, much longer. The proposed change would require regular B48 riders like myself to transfer to the B69 to get to North Brooklyn. The B69 is on a route that is already serviced by the G whereas the B48 is a route that many folks in Crown Heights depend on to get to North Brooklyn and vice versa. Thank you.

Comment: I would like to voice opposition to removing the B54 bus stop at Myrtle Avenue and Clinton Avenue. It is used more frequently than neighboring bus stops and provides convenient access for people who are transferring from the B69 stop and a citibike station (both without having to cross the street). Please reconsider! There are always people getting on and off the bus at this stop!

Comment: Hello, I regularly take the B48 to get to work and crown heights area. I live near McGolrick park and there already isn?t many transportation options. The B48 comes infrequently so reducing service with the B69 would leave me even more stranded. Please reconsider cutting transport between Greenpoint and Crown Heights. It?s already hard enough to get around Brooklyn.

Comment: I take the B48 bus from the corner of Sterling and Classon ave every day to commute to the school I teach at (Williamsburg Northside). The B48 is the only decent connection in my neighborhood to Williamsburg and Greenpoint. The redesign removes a link necessary to my community. I not only use it for my work commute, but I also frequently use it on nights and weekends when visited friends and restaurants in northern Brooklyn. The proprosed replacement route does nothing to help me. The proposed b69 connects Windsor terrace with downtown Brooklyn but the G train already does that. Please don't change the B48 route.

Comment: Hi Andy,

Thanks so much for the follow up. As I mentioned in our phone conversation, we have heard extensive concern from AD57 residents about the routes below, as well as the B38.

B48 - We received a petition signed by several hundred residents about the change in terminus of the B48. Currently there is no other connection between western Crown Heights and Greenpoint. Under the new plan, travel along this route will require transfering to the B69 at Flushing Avenue, but the B69 is projected to run less frequently than the B48, leading to a reduction of service along this route.

Comment: Please don?t change the route of the B48! So many people in my neighborhood depend on the B48 to connect us with north brooklyn!! It would be a shame to shut access off for all of us depending on this for work, socializing and family. I know the B69 is proposed to run to north Brooklyn instead, but the B48 better serves the communities inaccessible by trains. Thank you for considering our plea! -Residents if Crown Heights

Comment: Hello, I am a resident of Williamsburg 11211 and I am writing in strong opposition to the MTA?s plan to reroute the B48 away from Greenpoint/Williamsburg as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network?s Redesign. This route provides a crucial connection between Crown Heights and Williamsburg/Greenpoint that cannot be found elsewhere in the transit system. If it were removed, significant portions of Western Crown Heights and Western Bed Stuy would be left without a transit connection to North Brooklyn. I regularly use this route to travel between Crown Heights and Greenpoint and would have no other way to make this trip if it were removed. The proposed B69 alternative is redundant as line G already already connects these neighborhoods (Park Slope, Windsor Terrace) to Williamsburg and Greenpoint. I have family and friends in Crown Heights that rely on B48 to access North Brooklyn. Please restore the initial B48 route to Greenpoint and 24 hour schedule in the final draft plan of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign. Thank you, Vlad

Comment: At yesterday's C# 36 workshop I memntioned extending the B68 route further west to connect with more routes for ADA accesibility to Coney Island for ADA customers that cannot take the subway.   I took another look this morning and think if the B68 is extended  you might want to consider extending the route south along Prospect Park West  to 19th/20th Streets and then further west along 19th and 20th streets to either Fifth Avenue or Third Avenue to terminate.  This would provide increased bus service to the schools located near Propspect Park West near 20th street plus additional transfers to the B67, B69 and possibly the B63 and B37 routes as well.   Besides providing more ADA accesiblity to Coney Island the B68 route would also help more students providing connections to many of the schools located along the route plus possible connections to the B63 and B37 buses for those students as well.

Comment: Although I am a Queens resident, I have a few Brooklyn suggestions; First, I would like to see the proposed B5 route extended past Harway Av-Bay 37 St following the present B64 route to Stillwell Av-Mermaid Av then turn right on Mermaid Av absorbing the short B74 route. This new B5 Sea Gate-Gateway would operate out of Ulmer Park Depot and provide Coney. Island residents direct access to Gateway The B36 should be extended past Nostrand-Av U via Av U absorbing the B47 route eliminating the need to make 3 turns in the area of Kings Plaza. The new B36 would provide Coney Island residents access to Kings Plaza and present B47 area passengers access to Coney Island Hospital. Herb

Comment: I don't think cutting B82 service to coney island is a good idea. This is because in the event that the D,N or F trains can't run to Coney Island, the B82 bus provides the best alternative, especially when the B82 serves the stations that these subway lines are usually cut back to: Kings highway (N,F) or Bay parkway (D).  The B64 replacing this section won't sufficent as the B64 doesn't connect to any of these subway lines at all.

Comment: The B61 should only run from Downtown Brooklyn to Red Hook via Columbia Street, with the resources reinvested into restoring service along Union Street (ideally extended into Lower Manhattan), and maintaining some amount of B103 service to Downtown Brooklyn. The B61 takes a much more meandering route from Park Slope to Downtown Brooklyn, compared to the B63, B67, and of course the subway (F, G, and R trains). Additionally, the B81 maintains the connection from Red Hook to Park Slope, and the B27 provides additional service to get Red Hook residents to the F/G train, so there is no need for the B61 to run east of Red Hook.

Comment:   Hello Mr. Davey. My name is Joe Rivera I'm a SLD from Brooklyn road control. We had spoken during the press conference at Cadman Plaza. My proposal on the extension and reroute of this line goes as follow. It would be via Old Fulton street Left on Furman street Right on Atlantic avenue, right Bridge Park Dr. The operator would lay over on Bridge Park Dr with the B63. On the return trip he would take Bridge Park Dr back to Atlantic Avenue were he would make a left turn and then a left turn on Furman street. Furman street back to Old Fulton street then regular route. This change avoids the B25 from getting stuck on Water street. We sometimes lose around 30 minutes when Water street is blocked off. This is becoming more common due to all the condo's and restaurants plus the outdoor eating structures in the area. If you need further clarification on this matter or would like to discuss weather via email or phone please do not hesitate to reach out. I love to play a part in this redesign program even if its a small part. Thank care and enjoy your holidays.

I mean for the B39 operate as a shuttle between Williamsburg and Lower East Side is completely useless. Just take the subway to get between Williamsburg and Lower East Side.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): New route proposal, Turnaround
Comment: The Fresh Creek Association is proposing a change to the existing MTA B103 bus route that will improve the public transportation service to the Canarsie residents and neighboring communities.  The proposal is to change the current B103 route to Canarsie by extending the route along East 105th at Flatlands Avenue to Farragut Road and then continue the route to the terminus at Flatland Avenue and Williams Avenue. In addition to this extension, we also propose the addition of two (2) bus stops along East 105th Street,  at Glenwood Road and at Farragut Road.

The following changes will improve connectivity and availability to other transportation networks. Firstly, the route extension and bus stop at Farragut Road, will facilitate a more direct and convenient  point of access to the L subway line at the East 105th stop. The existing walking distance will be reduced from 0.4 miles to 407 feet, reducing the walk time from 7 mins to 2 mins. The bus travel time would be extended by less than 5 mins. 1 This will help to address some commuter’s safety concerns and minimize their exposure to the weather elements.

Secondly. This proposal will allow a direct (i.e. point to point) transfer to the two (2) other  bus routes B60 and B6 respectively. This will enable access to neighboring East New York Community. It will be a convenience for existing bus riders and potentially attract new non bus riders and potentially increase overall bus ridership.

In addition to addressing a public transportation issue, this proposal may improve the availability of off street parking. The demand for parking spaces near the East 105th St  L subway train stop may decrease

Your positive consideration to this proposal is greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

Comment: B38 ? Metro Ave branch It?s quite disingenuous for the MTA to claim that the discontinued Metro Ave branch of the B38 would be ?served? by the two other bus lines that it currently connects with. The Q54 along Metro Ave and the B57 along Flushing Ave will not be rerouted to cover parts of this route should this proposed change take effect. This branch serves the ?Linden Hill? section of the area, so named because it?s on a giant hill ? one that?s difficult to ascend. It also serves hundreds of students at Grover Cleveland High School as well as visitors to Grover Cleveland Park and Linden Hill Cemetery. Eliminating it is just a bad idea.

Comment: this stop on B38 is very popular in the morning and evenings for folks on this side of the neighborhood getting to/from the L train. The B38 frequency and location in the neighborhood makes it more appealing than the B57 on Flushing. the bus layover on Starr also seems to be an adequate use of curb space, esp for the articulated buses.

This is the only line that Windsor Terrace and Kensington residents can use to get to Methodist Hospital, which is especially important since Fort Hamilton Pkwy,15th St and 7th Ave on the F/G are not accessible. This line also has new utility now that it goes to Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

Comment: Q55- Are you going to compensate for all current issues with people heading to Ridgewood Terminal in the morning?

Volume between Woodhaven Bl and Ridgewood Terminal — a lot of people.

A couple of deadheads have helped mitigate the issue.

With the Redesign, there’s a great deal of people

Short turns during peak?

6/6:30am, a lot more people trying to crowd onto the bus and then parents driving their kids to school

Bus priority coordination with DOT would also be helpful

Welcome the extension of the line because it makes sense, but there’s a current issue that needs to be fixed first

Deadhead to the end out of service, then go into regular service after that – B52, B62

One of the few routes that is currently a feeder route, feeder in both direction

There is no need to have a stop on every Ocean Avenue block, getting rid of the Avenue K stop would improve speed and reliability along Ocean Avenue.

Comment: Regarding eliminating the loop around the Ceasars Bay Shopping Center doesn't make sense as B6 local & b6 limited customers are used to shopping there.  I don't think B6 passengers west of Flatbush Avenue such as along Bay Parkway are going to switch to shopping at the Gatway Center Mall and use the B5 bus for that prupose if that was the MTA's rationale for elinating the Shore Parkway loop on the B6/B6 Limited buses.  From what I've been told B6 passengers are also allowed to board a westbound B6 bus along Shore Parkway and remain on the bus at the last stop for its next eastbound trip.   It may make senses that all the buses travel around this loop such as the B6 local, B6 limited, B82 local & B82SBS with the assurances thet all passengers recive an additional  free transfer to the B64 route toward Coney Island and vice-versa.  With all of the necsiities for more and more three-legged transfers it may make senses for your agency to at least allow two transfers instead of just one transfer for one fare policy.  Nice Bus in Nassau County already allows two transfers on their bus system and that's only one county? In NYC we have five counties/boroughs so more than one transfer is defintely justified, espcially with all of these Bus Network Redesign projects now going on.

Comment: I would like to say that I am very glad that the bus redesign project is taking place. For the most part, I am a big fan of many of the proposals. But I do have two qualms and that is the cutting of night service on the B48 and B68. The B48 is an important ADA alternative for Franklin Shuttle riders since the Botanic Garden stop does not have ADA access. It would be ideal to keep night service between the Church Avenue B/Q station (the new proposed terminal) and the Franklin Avenue C station, this way passengers who require ADA access in the off-chance they are traveling overnight can have the option of a bus in lieu of the Shuttle. For the B68, a lot of people I know have complained that cutting that bus at night is a bad move due to construction that takes place along the Culver line south of Church Avenue, and more of them than not, there are no shuttle bus services to replace trains on McDonald Avenue; passengers have to rely on alternate means to get between Coney Island and Church Avenue on the F/G. Most of the time they will use the Q, but in addition they?ll use the B68 since it is closer to McDonald Avenue than the Q. Therefore, I have came up with this idea: Going southbound, the B68 turns west off of Coney Island Avenue onto Foster Avenue, then south onto Ocean Avenue and then proceeds to the current B49 route to KCC; northbound, the B68, which will now be using the current B49 route south of Foster Avenue, will instead turn left onto Foster Avenue, then a right onto Coney Island and then it?s normal route to Windsor Terrace. For the B49 going southbound, instead of turning onto Ocean Avenue, it stays on Foster Avenue and then turns south onto Coney Island Avenue and proceeds to Coney Island Terminal along the current B68?s route. Going northbound, the B49 will operate on the B68?s current route south of Foster Avenue from Coney Island Terminal, where it then makes a right turn onto Foster Avenue and then follows it?s redesigned route. The B81, which will provide service along the Ditmas Park, Gowanus, and Boerum Hill part of the B103 (terminating in Red Hook), can have night service operate between Flatbush Avenue 2/5 and Windsor Terrace where the current B68 terminates to make up for the loss of B68 night service north of Foster Avenue. This would give riders with options to connect to the A Division or the B Division subway lines overnight. Please take these ideas into consideration. Thank you for taking your time to read this message.

Comment: New York Avenue between Foster and Glenwood is highly congested with speeding two way traffic. This stretch of New York Avenue is too narrow for two way traffic. Road conditions are dangerous. The city must change traffic flow along this span of New York Avenue or limit this span to a one way road. An alternative may be to eliminate parking through this road, given that some new construction buildings have internal parking garages.

Comment: In my opinion the B2 bus was picked because it is predominantly used by Caucasians & Asians and the MTA knows that they will be little resistance, no riots, no uproar. Look at your B46 select bus, they bunch up with little to no passengers. Maybe if that was managed correctly you would see that some of those buses can be eliminated and the B2 can stay in service. How else do I get from Kings Highway to Kings Plaza? You do not have a satisfactory answer. I sure as hell am not coming off the B train to get the Q train and taking the B3 which is overcrowded on any given afternoon.

Comment: I am very much in support of the SBS B55 proposal to make JFK more transit accessible. The proposal connects with so many key subway lines and would be a tremendous help to both travelers and airport employees. One important point is that the SBS MUST have a consistent right of way, and intermittent street parking in the lane would lead to inconsistent and slow service, as is seen on the Utica Ave B46 SBS, which is barely faster than a standard bus.

Comment: Discontinuing the B48 from North Brooklyn takes away all access to the central area in Crown Heights. The B44 SBS is hard to reach from Greenpoint, essentially cutting them off from Crown Heights. It's great that the B69 will go to Grand Army Plaza area, but then it continues West of the park instead of going to hard to reach Crown Heights. The areas West of park are already serviced by the G, so this already relatively accessible by train. Shifting the B48 East disconnects North Brooklyn from the central business districts in Crown Heights and Prospect Heights.

Comment: I heard that there is an intention to discontinue this bus line. That would be awful. The bus route serves several entire neighborhoods. The B2 goes from one shopping area (Kings Highway) to another (Kings Plaza). Many people who work in Manhattan rely on that bus to get to the Q/B trains. Students get back and forth to school. Elderly passengers take the bus to their doctors, many of whom are located in the Kings Highway area. Also, the B2 connects with cross county bus lines (B49, 44, 41, etc.) As it is, most transit options are Manhattan-centric. There are only bus routes to take Brooklynites from one neighborhood to another. Do not cancel this bus.

Also excited about the extension of the B16, for similar reasons! However, I think the B49 should continue to run south on Bedford north of Foster, not on Nostrand- the B44 (both select and local) already runs on Nostrand, so it's duplicative and doesn't help people who live by Bedford Ave.

Comment: Forcing buses to make a right turn at New York and a left turn onto Sterling is going to be a massive bottleneck for bus speeds. I've seen non-articulated trucks attempt to make this turn at all hours of the day and cause traffic jams that ripple throughout the neighborhood. I think it'd make more sense to keep the bus running down St. Johns and make the turn at the much wider Rogers Ave instead and then turn left onto Sterling from there.

Not to mention, the two added stops on Sterling/Nostrand and Sterling/Rogers now put riders a block farther from the B44SBS stops at Nostrand/St Johns and Rogers/St Johns. Please reconsider this change.

Comment: B49 would be better off traveling down Brooklyn ave, there is limited service in this part of Brooklyn (near cemetaries and hospital)- many people want Bedford b/c that's where it is now- they may like a new route entirely that increases coverage to a new area. You could have the B49 down new york and bk, have the B44 down rogers and nostrand.B49 could terminate by the hospital down nostrand. Could have the B49 swing east further south (20th st?). You should take a look at service on the B49 south of clarkson ave.

Comment: The prospect of having a bus straight to Astoria that connects to the B44 SBS is fantastic, and would save a lot of trips to Manhattan (assuming it's relatively fast and reliable). However, it runs pretty far west in Astoria, making it difficult to get to parts of the neighborhood. Would it be possible to redirect it further east? The prospect of a long walk or transfer to a third bus, turning this into a two-fare trip, to get to the more densely populated parts of Astoria where the subway runs is not very appealing.

Using McGuiness Bl improved travel experience for operations, B43 would still provide service on Manhattan Av. This is an improvement for interborough connections – like this.

Believe the shuttle route to Queens Bridge is similar routing to this when there is track work? Using the Polaski Draw Bridge.

Comment: Hello, I use the b103 often to go to Downtown Brooklyn. I get the bus at Church Ave and East 7th and this change would greatly impact me. I can't always take the train if I have alot of stuff and can only imagine how hard it would be for people on wheelchairs. The walk to Flatbush Ave to get the b41 is too long. The b67 runs very infrequently. Please keep my opinion in mind at your meetings. Thank you.

Comment: B82 Local: Moving it from Flatbush and Ave. K to Kings Highway will increase walking distance for people. That particular area, we have to walk further to the B41 and B46 (about 7 to 10 minute walk) which increases our travel times. B82 being on Flatbush to Ave. K reduces that walking time and can connect us to the B41 and B46 faster. This is especially important as this is a very residential area and there are limited bus stops already.

The past few days I have taken the B100 and by the time it arrives to Fillmore Ave & Ryder St it is already crowded during the AM commute. How is eliminating the B2 going to solve your issue of mismanagement and why should we be inconvenienced. I am willing to bet if you eliminated 1 or 2 B44 & B46 select buses and a few Limited B41 buses you would still have the manpower to support the B2 in its current route.

Comment: The B103 is unparalleled in its efficiency and direct route to Downtown Brooklyn from my neighborhood (Kensington). It cannot be replaced by service on the B41. We rely on the B103 for everyday, reliable service via highway to Atlantic Terminal and other areas that many commuters and residents need and utilize as a transit hub. Keep the B103 route intact.

Comment: Regarding the B103, it will make no difference moving the B103 to Beverly. Turning onto Cortelyou from Coney Island Avenue is not an issue. When the Q/B train is not running the B103 picks up the slack and gets folk to Downtown Brooklyn, where they can access many trains. You cannot ask folk to walk to Flatbush (Cortelyou) and take the B41 Downtown. You can hardly catch B41 going Downtown because the bus would always be packed, not to mention being stuck in traffic. The B103 needs to stay on Cortelyou and continue to go Downtown Brooklyn. You are asking folk to do too much bus switching. Will there be unlimited Transfers? It does not make any sense.

Comment: I oppose the proposed shortening of the B103 line, which provides fast and efficient service from Flatbush to downtown ? in marked contrast to the incredibly slow service on the B41 on Flatbush. The proposed B81 doesn?t connect and would be slower, and would dump Flatbush residents at the far edge of Park Slope area

Comment: Hello, I would be very disappointed if the B103 service was discontinued. I get the b103 at church ave/E 7 st. Now there won't be bus to get me to Downtown Brooklyn. I can't get to the b41, it is too far for me.

Comment: Please do not cut the B103 service from Cortelyou Rd to downtown Brooklyn/Borough Hall. Walking to Flatbush and Cortelyou to get the B41 is not a feasible option for people in the neighborhood who live closer to Coney Island Ave/ Ocean Parkway. I regularly use this bus to get to work and cutting the service would require me to walk further to the subway and take 2 trains to get to work. I also go to work early in the morning and feel safer on the bus.

Comment: I saw a post regarding proposed changes to the schedule for the x28 for the Brooklyn stops in the afternoons and I wanted to provide input. I take my grandmother to the city for her medical treatments - she is diabetic and being included in a trial with NYU for a medication to treat vision loss. She is in her 70s and has difficulty walking due to her age and her vision. This being said, I take her to her sessions every month and we take the bus in to her appointment since she can?t walk up the stairs to get to the D train. The R is accessible with the B4 but it takes twice as long to get to the city. I take off time from work to bring her to her appointment because I work in Brooklyn and am close to her. I honestly love the x28 because when I need to head into the city, I can commute from Dyker to midtown in 40 minutes. I hope I am able to continue taking the bus into the city in the afternoon because the D & R have been experiencing more and more delays due to construction and signal issues.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Extend, Frequency, Service span, Extended travel times, New route proposal, Layover/terminal location
Comment: There are better ways to cut down B25 runtimes than having it end at Franklin Avenue. This hurts virtually everyone because of the added transfer and/or less frequent service. For context, the B25 currently runs every 74 minutes late nights, with a runtime of 32 minutes (to DUMBO) or 36 minutes (to Bwy Jct). The B26 runs every 60 minutes.

The runtime from Van Sinderen Ave to Hudson Ave (just before Flatbush Ave) is 22 minutes. The DeKalb Avenue (D, N, Q, R) & Nevins Street (2,4) subway stations are nearby. Buses can be truncated to/from Van Sinderen Ave on the Broadway Junction end, after making the Hudson Ave stop, take Hudson Ave to DeKalb Ave, then terminate at the B38 stop. From that B38 stop, B25 buses can take Flatbush Avenue to Fulton Street, and go back to Van Sinderen Ave only (instead of going all the way to Alabama Ave).

During late nights, the B25 can terminate at Broadway Junction at Van Sinderen Ave (and potentially turn around using Van Sinderen Ave, Herkimer St, Williams Place, and back to Fulton St). This saves 1-2 minutes runtime and has a shorter turnaround as well (compared to at Alabama Avenue.

This setup would have a 23-24 minute runtime in each direction, with 6-7 minutes for operators to turn around at Broadway Junction, and 6-7 minutes to layover at Dekalb Avenue. Since the B25 would now be hourly, it can be as evenly spaced as possible to provide combined 30 minute service with the B26 along Fulton. This would be easier on the operator making those trips as well as for riders along Fulton Street getting consitent and more frequent service.

Current proposal doesn?t have any stops between ave X and Ocean ave which makes this extension of sbs44 useless to most people who use slow and overcrowded b36 bus to get to and from the subway

Comment: Changing the B68 bus route will be a hardship for me and many of my friends and neighbors because we are Seniors with many health problems. We always get a seat on the bus at West 5th St & Neptune Ave. If the proposed changes are made we will have to transfer to the B68 from the B36 or B49. Standing and waiting for one bus is hard enough but now it will be waiting for two. Standing on the bus will be very difficult for me since I have arthritis in my knees and a tear in my shoulder. Please do not change this bus route. Thanking you in advance.

Comment: The B4 should be extended on Knapp St to Avenue W adding only three stops, not shortened. It would lessen the load on the B36. Better to do it that way than by sending the B36 to Coney Island Hospital. Much better idea than to shorten the route reducing its access area.

Comment: I am writing to express my strong support for the extension of the B36 bus service to Kings Plaza. This move would have a profound impact on the communities of Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay, providing much-needed transportation options and improving access to important destinations. The current lack of direct connections between Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay with Kings Plaza shopping mall is a hindrance to many residents who have to rely on multiple bus routes or other modes of transportation to reach this important shopping center. By extending the B36 route, you would eliminate the need for multiple transfers and provide a more efficient, convenient and cost-effective solution for residents. Furthermore, this extension would also provide new bus connections to the B31, B46, B47, and Q35 bus routes, giving riders on these routes two-seat access to Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay, and vice versa. This would provide improved access to popular destinations such as the New York Aquarium, the Coney Island Boardwalk, and the shopping along Nostrand Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, among others. In addition, the extension of the B36 route would also provide Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay residents with improved access to other areas served by the B31, B46, B47, and Q35 bus routes, such as Rockaway, Gerritsen Beach, Flatlands and more. This would further enhance transportation options for residents and improve their overall quality of life. I urge the MTA to consider the many benefits of extending the B36 bus service to Kings Plaza, and to make this important investment in the transportation infrastructure of our communities. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Comment: For B62 LTD in the Astoria & Downtown Brooklyn directions, I'd propose routing the B62 on the BQE from Tillary Street to Classon Ave & Flushing Ave.    The B62 is a limited route, however it has a large number of stops on Flushing Ave (Gold/Tillary, Navy St, Oxford St, Clermont St, and Washington St) which are served by the B69, B48, and B27 local routes.    There is also the nearby B67 LTD which runs along nearby Park Ave and could service this catchment area.This bus route is a crucial connection for upcoming areas of high development and can connect areas of interest - improving the service speed and time would greatly improve usability.

Comment: I have multiple issues with moving the B52 to Gates from Grand. First, the street is narrow and already has trouble with traffic. We have had three experiences in the past few years where we have almost been hit by cars when we've been taking our kids out of their car seats. Our parked car has been hit twice on that block (which has resulted in damage.) The street is too narrow for two ways of traffic as it is but to add buses to that is going to make it even less safe for pedestrians. Second, these blocks are quiet residential houses mostly (unlike Greene, which has apartments, health and senior centers) and I purchased my house on this block because it was quiet. With the bus running down this stretch, it will undoubtedly be louder, not just because of the bus but because of the narrowness street and all of the traffic running two buses on this stretch will cause. Currently buses are running on Gates because of construction on Greene and the amount of honking is unbearable. Thirdly, I take the B52 everyday and part of what makes it fast is that it goes down Greene and not Gates. There is often a lot of traffic on Fulton particularly when I take make kids to school in the morning and around 3/4 when I pick them up. When the bus turns down Greene (or stays on Greene), it avoids a lot of traffic on Fulton and makes the ride so much faster than if we stayed on the B25 or B26. It's just going to add to the Fulton Street traffic to put another bus on it.

Comment: The planned rerouting of the B52 line is a terrible idea. The B25, B26 and B45 lines are all within a block away already. Why all the bus line congestion? Makes no sense. Also our section of Gates avenue is already very congested with traffic from commuter drivers taking Gates Ave to avoid the heavy commuting traffic on Atlantic and Fulton.

Comment: I would like to express my opposition to rerouting the B52 bus route along Gates Ave. The neighborhood is already exposed to its share of noise, fumes, traffic, less parking spots, dirt and debris from the B25, B26 and B44 routes. Additionally, the rerouting of B52 would pass in front of PS Latimer and The Urban Assembly Unison School and cause even more issues of noise, fumes, traffic, less parking spots, dirt and debris. This is a terrible idea and should be stopped for the safety of the children and our neighborhood. Why change the current route of B52 on Greene Ave? This proposed new route, stops, and frequencies do not reflect customer priorities. The current routes of the B25, B26, B44, B52 and B58 along with the subway stations of the C train at Franklin and Clinton-Washington as well as the G train with stops at Clinton-Washington and Classon meet the needs of current and future customers. The MTA can add additional cars to the G train. There have already been several other significant changes in the area with the additional of the Citi Bike Stations and permanent street closures at Putnam between Grand and Fulton as well as Gates between Fulton and Vanderbilt. You must stop the B52 from being rerouted along Gates. This change will only hurt the neighborhood. Thank you.

Comment: I agree with Samuels point the B13 bus should travel along Euclid Avenue between Linden Boulevard and Stanley Avenue and the B13 bus should travel to and from Fountain Avenue via Stanley Avenue rather than via Linden Boulevard.  For easier transferring between the B13 route and the eastbound B55, eastbound B20 and southbound/eastbound B14 route an additional  nortbound and southbound B13 bus stop should be added along Euclid Avenue between Linden Boulevard and Loring Av.  (which is close to the south side of Linden Blvd.).

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): 
Comment: The current spacing of bus stops are helpful for people with limited mobility. The closer stops are, the more access is provided to those who cannot easily get around due to many factors including age, ability, injury, etc. For example, I had sprained both of my ankles a few months ago and relied heavily on the B16 stop across from by apartment, which is one proposed to be removed.  Busses create a robust transit network for those who live farther from the subway. I save 10 minutes on my morning commute by taking the B16 to the R instead if walking. The proposed express bus spacing will reduce accessibility. There are several census tracts in Southern Brooklyn which are only within 0.5 miles (10 min walk) to an express bus, and not a subway. This will create farther distances.

Comment: I'm not sure how many Q109 riders utilize the Euclid Avenue Subway Station, however I know that it is an ADA accesible subway station so gives a little more weight to keeping that bus/subway transfer connection even though the Q109 route would be passing the Rockaway Boulevard & Grant Avenue Subway Station of the "A" Subway Line.   Right now a major concern in the Ozone Park & City Line community is that there is currently no crosswalk and traffic signal light on the North Conduit Avenue at 79th Street and the South Conduit Avenue at 79th Street so that people could safely cross to gain access to and from the Linden Center Mall (located between the South Conduit Avenue and Linden Boulevard at 79th Street).   Back in March 2021 a girl got kiiled crossing this dangerous intersection and NYCDOT is still studying  if a traffic light and crosswalk could be placed at this location.   (See editorial link at end of comments).   Possibly during the Brooklyn & Queens Bus Redsign this issue can be addressed by your agency by making the follwing addiotional modifications to the Q109 route or some other route if Q109 modification proposed suggestion is not possible.  Extend the Q109 route from the Euclid Avenue Subway Station to travel along Euclid Avenue to Sutter Avenue, turning left at Sutter Avenue, then traveling to Eldert Lane, then making a right turn at Eldert Lane and then turning left at Linden Boulevard (e/b service road) to serve all points between Eldert Lane and 79th Street.   The Q109 route could then traveling along Linden Boulevard into the Conduit Boulevard/South Conduit Avenue back to Cross Bay Boulevard turning left there (north) traveling to 149th Avenue then left to Redding Street where right turn be made to terminate the Q109 route at along Reding Street at Pitkin Avenue near Cross Bay Boulevard.  Traveling back toward Jamaica the Q109 could first travel along the North Conduit Avenue into Linden Boulevard traveling to Eldert Lanne traveling back to Sutter Avenue with a left turn at Sutter Avenue to Pine Street and back to Pitkin Avenue and return on its normal route to Jamaica. This would then provide  former B14 riders on the eastern end of the present B14 route along Sutter Avenue access to a new Q109 bus service plus provide bus service between City Line/ Ozone Park  and the Linden Center Mall.  This would then resolve this safety issue of getting to and from the Linden Center Mall plus more transfer connection at Linden Boulevard between the Q109 bus and the B15 & B55 XT bus .  See news link below:           https://www.qchron.com/editions/queenswide/tragic-hit-and-run-renews-concerns-over-conduit/article_3c5e7a64-7a8f-5410-8a79-96c0391d851e.html

Comment: The B17 could be extended to Woodhull Hospital via Troy Avenue/Lewis Avenue and Albany Avenue/Marcus Garvey Blvd to replace the B15 in that area. This would also maintain a connection to the B55 for service east into Brownsville/ENY. The B65 could be extended to Brookdale Hospital to maintain the connection from Crown Heights to Brookdale Hospital (and points east via the B55). Short-turn B55 trips could be added as necessary between Nostrand Avenue and Drew Street to provide sufficient service along the busiest portion of the B15 (from Brookdale Hospital east to the Pink Houses), and the busy corridor of Church Avenue in East Flatbush.

Comment: Extend the B13 north to the Woodhull Hospital via Wyckoff and Flushing Avenue.  Have some B13 buses travel to JFK Airport on the southern end by rerouting some B13 buses at the Conduit Boulevard (i.e. after the bus stops at the Liberty Avenue/Crescent Street bus stop) to travel along the Conduit Boulevard to Lefferts Boulevard/JFK Airport thus providing another option to JFK Airport for previous B15 riders from Central Brooklyn.

Comment: Maybe the B13 could be rerouted at this point to JFK Airport via the Conduit Boulevard or instead to Cross Bay Boulevard/Rockaway Boulevard via Pitkin Avenue , Sutter Avenue & Cross Bay Boulevard. The B14 could be then extemded from the USPS Brooklyn GMF to the Gateway Center Mall via Stanley Avenue, Fountain Avenue, Vandalia Avenue , Erskine Street and Gateway Drive thus replacing the southern section of the B13 route.  Another available option  ror the B14 route to be further extended to JFK Airport ar Eskine Street via the Belt Parkway thus providing another Central Brooklyn JFK option rather than the B15 route as well.

Comment: REVISED: It might make some senses to have the Q51 just serve the Gateway Center Mall from the bus stops along Erskine Street and Vandalia Avenue as shoppers from Queens could just walk to the other side of the Gateway Center Mall if needed from Erskine Street.  Instead the Q51 could be further extended via Erskine Street, Vandlia Avenue, Fountain Avenue, Linden Boulevard, Cresecnt Street and Stanely Avenue to  Postal Facility Road terminate at the USPS Brooklyn GMF which would then allow transfers between the Q51 and the B55, B15, B14  and B20 routes.   The added revision would create an additional transfer between the Q51 route and the B55 & B15 routes at Linden Boulevard/Euclidf Avenue.   By removing the Q51 from the Gateway Center Mall Terminal  would allow space for another SBS route. at the Gateway Center Mall Terminal.  NYCT could then extend the B82 SBS route to the Gateway Center Mall Terminal via the Belt Parkway, Erskine Street and Gateway Drive.   Additionally, If the proposed B5 route is also extended to JFK Airport via the Belt Parkway (from Erskine Street) the B82 Local bus could also be extended to terminate at the Gateway Center Mall Terminal as well.  These suggested changes would give more transfer opportunities between the Q51 route and the B14, B20, B15, B55, B82 & B82 SBS routes vastly improving interborough transit between many more Brooklyn and Queens communities.  The addition of a transfer between the Q51 route and B55 route would provide access from Central Brooklyn's Church Avenue corridor and many Southern Queens communties.

Comment: Re: proposed changes to the B49 - I have several concerns with this proposal. "The route would now operate 24 hours to provide overnight service to Kings County Hospital Center on New York Av." - I am in the southwestern corner of Crown Heights. If I wanted to go to Kings County Hospital, I could either take the current B49 or the B41 to the B12, or I can walk to Nostrand and take either the B44-SBS to Parkside Avenue or the 2 train to Winthrop Street and walk. This portion of the reroute is not necessary. "On its southern end, the proposed B49 would be rerouted to Coney Island-Stillwell Av station via Avenue Z, Coney Island Av, and Brighton Beach Av, providing a new accessible connection. This would replace the B68 which is proposed to be rerouted to Kingsborough Community College." - I don't understand why this is necessary. If I wanted to go to Coney Island, I would walk to the Prospect Park train station and take the Q train. I just started taking classes at Kingsborough. Although the ride is long, I appreciate being able to take the southbound B49, whose stop is around the corner from me, directly there. This proposed change would significantly increase the travel time since there would no longer be a direct route there. I would have to take *two* buses to transfer to the B68. This part of the proposal doesn't seem to make much sense.

Comment: The B49 needs to stay as is, as it serves many seniors along Bedford Avenue to get back and forth to their doctor's appointments along the route especially going further towards Manhattan Beach. Also serves many middle school, elementary school, and High School students along Bedford as well. I can say that a number of seniors from Ebbets Field rely on the bus stop just outside of the building as well with connections to the B12 to Kings COunty and DownState Hospitals. It makes it a much easier and stress less route and also less walking as the next option would be the B41 or walk all the way to Nostrand to the B44. The B49 also serves as a reliable service to people who work in those nearby hospitals , doctor's offices and also those who attend KCC.

Comment: Please do not re-route the B64 at its northern end as designed. It is one of the few ways for residents by the waterfront to get to Manhattan. The B64 provides important connection between locations on the Bay Ridge waterfront and Dyker Heights and also to the R train. It could work to re-route the B64 to NYU Langone Hospital, but 4th Avenue is too far from the waterfront for a turn there not to cause a disruption. I agree that 4th Avenue is also a dangerous corridor, especially at the turn to 60th St. Please turn the B64 on Ridge Blvd instead, you could use existing B11 stops on 2nd Avenue and this would keep the bus closer to Xaverian High School and PS102.

Comment: At the  Brooklyn CB #2 Workshop meeting there was mentiong by one person that there are too many buses traveling to the IRT New Lots Subway Station from the same general area and I also indicated that it would make sene for the B103 to terminate at the East 105th Street L Subway Station instead for local residents from East 105th Street.  If the B103 is shortened that would be   cost savings which could be applied to extend the Q8 route further sountwest..   Since the B83 route is being revised to operate straight along Pennsylvania Avenue I belive it would make sense to extend the Q8 route further west along New Lots Avenue to Van Siclen Avenue and then south along Van Siclen Avenue into Vandalia Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue.  At Pennsylvania Avenue/Vandalia Avenue a few alternative routing options exist for the Q8 route.  One multiple option would be for the Q8 to continue along Vandalia Avenue to Louisianna Avenue.  At Louisianna Avenue the Q8 bus could turn right heading up to Flatlands Avenue and travel further west along Flatlands Avenue to as least the Rockway Parkway Subway Station.   Another option at Louisianna Avenue is for the Q8 to turn left and proceed south along Louisianna Avenue to Seaview Avenue, then Seaview Avenue east to Van Siclen Avenue and Van Siclen Avenue north turning left at Van Siclen Avenue to terminate the Q8 route in front of the Brooklyn Sports Club.

Comment: The intersection of BBA and CIA is the most dangerous intersection in all of Brighton Beach, with extensive conflicts between motorists who routinely fail to yield to pedestrians, and pedestrians, many of whom are seniors. In addition to the B68 and the B1 which currently pass through the intersection, the MTA is now proposing to add the B49 to the intersection as well. We recognize that the MTA does neither jurisdiction nor responsibility for street safety, but increasing the amount of vehicular volume by adding more buses seems reckless and irresponsible. What will the MTA do to improve safety at this intersection instead of making conditions more unsafe?

Comment: The proposed elimination of the B49 coming to Manhattan Beach would eliminate my option to get off the B and Q trains and take the B49 bus to my home in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn NY 11235. Also it eliminates my options to visit my doctors who are mostly on Ocean Avenue. I would need to transfer bus from the B1 and or B68. This is not practical for Kingsborough Community College students and workers form Menorah Rehabilitation and Nursing as most of them lives in East New York and commute via the B49 Bus. Thank you for keeping the B49 Bus as it is.

Comment: Do the people who designed the new bus routes ride the buses. The changing of the B68 route does not help the residences of the community. How is it helping the residences when you?ll now have to take 2 buses to get to Brighton Beach/Coney Island. Many in the community are seniors and it seems you have no concern on the impact these changes will make for them. The students of Kingsborough already have 2 bus lines the B1&B49 going to the campus. What is the point of all these? Wait times? You?ve added an additional 10-20 minutes wait times to the residences of this community. And you wonder why you are losing ridership

Comment: The new B49 gives me no reason to ride this bus anymore. I take this bus down Bedford to my job at Kingsborough CC. I only take the limited bus in the morning. By eliminating both the limited option *and* the routing to Kingsborough CC, there is no reason for me to ride it, even though it picks up a mere two blocks from my apartment. Instead, I will have to walk 15 minutes to the nearest subway station, ride that to Brighton Beach, and then transfer to the B1 bus. This would be significantly more inconvenient, increases transfers, decreases bus use, and lengthens my commute. As it stands, I take this bus to work every day, but under the change I cannot see myself ever riding this bus again.

Comment: hope all is well. I?m inquiring about the MTA proposal for new bus routes in south Brooklyn. The B4 bus is being rerouted, granted it?s a small section of its route however making a significant impact on daily commute for individuals commuting to/from from Big Apple Academy, heading to/from Success Academy, or attend Matchpoint. A great amount of people with kids and elderly with walkers, reside in the area and rely on the B4 going the route it currently goes. I currently take the B4 on my daily commute to and from work. I live on Ocean Parkway and Shore Parkway, a very convenient location for 3 separate bus routes, to my surprise, especially in the morning when I leave to go to work, the B4 has been the most reliable at 0530AM as appose to the B1 that closely services a similar area, I?m waiting for more then 20 minutes for a bus in the dark. I was hopeful, what if anything can be done in attempt to save the current route ? Thanks so much for all your hard work and everything you

Comment: Bring back the B37 to Vinegar Hill/Farragut house. It then becomes a straight path to Bay Ridge without having to change buses.  Our community has grown 5 fold in the last 3 years with more buildings and people.  We need more buses that have direct routes to where we need to go without having to wait anywhere from 15 to 45 mins. for a bus that will stop and then drive away

Comment: The B36 could be taken off of Ocean Parkway and continue west along Avenue Z to Shell Road and the B36 could travel along shell Road into West 8th street to Surf Avenue to Coney Island.   This streamlines  the B36 route and provides service to Avenue Z west of Ocean Parkway as well as Shell road and West 8th Street.  If the B68 remains at Coney Island instead of flip flopping with B49 the B68 should be taken off Neptune Avenue as well and take West 5th Street to Surf Avenue to Coney Island..  With these two changes then possibly the B68 could continue to West 37th Street/Bayview Avenue and the B36 terminate at Stillwell Avenue/Surf Avenue thus providing increased transfer accessibility to more passengers from Coney Island to more areas of Brooklyn.

Comment: The proposed elimination of the B1 stop at Brighton 12th St and BBA will eliminate public transit access to the Master Theater, a regional entertainment venue with 1,300 seats largely serving our Russian-speaking community. By removing direct public transit access, the MTA will be forcing more patrons to arrive by car increasing the amount of traffic on BBA, most of which would also be passing through the unsafe intersection of BBA and CIA. The Brighton 12th Street and BBA bus stop on the B1 line is an essential stop that must not be eliminated.

Comment: If the B36 needs more service to serve the Sheepshead Bay Station, you should restore the short turns from Avenue U to the station that you operated years ago, not reroute the B44 SBS to CI Hospital. You need to reopen E 15 Street so the B36 can stop in front of the Station so the short turns could turn around.

Comment: In the B38 downtown Brooklyn direction, I'd strongly suggest restoring the stop at Dekalb Ave & Carlton Ave.    DeKalb Ave has a large number of new restaurants in this area as well as the weekly farmers market.   The B38 provides the best way of connecting customers to trains in downtown Brooklyn.   A possible solution could be to move the Dekalb & Portland Street stop nearby (half of the catchment area is in Fort Greene Park) to DeKalb & Cumberland Street to improve accessibility and access to places on DeKalb Ave.

Comment: I live in Ryerson Towers and utilize the B38 bus service daily.  The Dekalb/Ryerson and Lafayette/Grand bus stops are essential to not only me but the many seniors and disabled people who live in the three Coops in the area. The loss of these two stops would greatly impact the community. I wholeheartedly believe these two bus stops should remain and I'm against a redesign of the changes being proposed to the B38 line.  Also the B52 bus should be allowed to continue to make stops along Greene Avenue.

Please B68/B49 Terminal swap as a draft plan proposal and put the final plan. Also, add B68 Select Bus Service and B49 convert from Limited bus to Select Bus Service.

Comment: Hello:

I am hearing a lot of chatter about changes to the express bus lines.

Please note that this will definitely become a problem for those of us who ride this bus.  Not sure where these changes are coming from but it's clear that the MTA has no clue.  They should spend a day as the commuters do so they can really see what we mean.

While I realize that ridership is down since the before the pandemic, but this is not a place to be cutting service.

Living where we live, which is a very remote area in Brooklyn, there is not many options for transportation.  It's either these express buses or a bus to the train station.

Changing the timing of the bus during rush hour is blatant disregard for the riders.  As it is, this specific bus has issues- arriving late or not at all. Putting aside that the 18 mile trip in the mornings (from Lois Ave. to 49th St. & Madison Ave) could take up to an hour and half on a good day & the return trip (from 57th St./2nd Ave to Ave. V/Gerritsen) is a 2 hour ride on a good day.

While I do think that the changes that should be made should be with the route of the bus as it gets closer to the Prospect Expwy and not with the seemingly remote area that some of us board the bus (it goes thru every neighborhood in Brooklyn!) - it should definitely not be with the timing especially during rush hours or taking bus stops away.  I am hearing that they are going to take away the Ave. V/Gerritsen Ave. stop and keep the Ave. U/Gerritsen Ave stop is absolutely ridiculous, more ppl board at the Ave V stop.  The Ave. U stop is in front of a parking lot with no shelter option, it's a wide open space.

I would prefer not to ride the subways.

Anything that can be done about these changes would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Comment: Also, the Hastings Street stop needs to stay. You eliminated it in 2006 and had to put it back because Falmouth St became overloaded in the summer  with 100 passengers. The rest of the time both stops are very lightly utilized and no bus stops at both stops on the same trip as with Beaumont and Dover. So no time is saved by eliminating Hastings. Drivers discharge students at Kensington St instead of going to Mackenzie when the terminal is filled. So will students now have to walk from Hastings St?

Comment: B64 - rerouting the bus and eliminating service to Shore Road is very problematic.  There is a new senior center opening at 69 and Narrows.  This will severely limit access for seniors.  There will be a highschool opening at Shre and 75th Street, eliminating service will cause problems.  And eliminating this service will seriously limit access to shore orad park.

Comment: As a senior myself who uses the B52 line and as a caretaker for seniors in the Pratt Towers, the redesign highly impacts our travel.  Without the Lafayette and Grand St stop, my client who has a disability would need to walk an extra block to her home.  If you are going to eliminate the SBS service, is a hard thing to keep a bus stop?  As far as the B52 traveling down Gates rather than Greene - two extra blocks for a senior traveling from Grand Ave to get to Lafayette Ave.

Comment: Please do not eliminate weekday offpeak service on the X28. We rely on this express bus to get to and from medical appointments and other needs, especially the elderly and people with disabilities in our community. We need the Manhattan-bound X28 to run after 9 a.m. and the Brooklyn-bound X28 to run before 2 p.m. They must both run all day. Many people take these buses all the time; when I ride them, there are many others with me every ride.

Comment: Our request concerns the B25 Route. There is no bus link between Cadman Plaza West in Brooklyn Heights Area and the greatly expanded waterfront area north of Old Fulton Street where the bus route ends on Front Street at Dock Street. It would be helpful to extend the route on Front Street several blocks to Jay or Bridge, where it could return on York Street (which it has used during construction at various times.)The residential population, as well as tourist numbers, have increased dramatically in recent years, and an extended B25 route along Front Street would help link the population on the waterfront to subway stations other than the single, dangerously overcrowded F train stop at York.

Comment: I need the B16 bus stay along Fort Hamilton Parkway & Caton Avenue and Bring Back the B23 bus along 16th Avenue and Cortelyou Road and extend along Beverley Road, Brooklyn Avenue, and Linden Boulevard. I have 6 reasons (list below) :1. B23 bus terminate at Flatbush Avenue & Cortelyou Road.2. Waiting for the B23 bus every 20-30 minutes.3. B23 bus was discontinued due to low ridership in June 2010 Service Cuts and I can’t walk transfer street from 62nd Street & New Utrecht Avenue on the D and N trains station to Cortelyou Road on the Q train station due to the cold weather.4. I can’t walk from Flatbush Avenue & Cortelyou Road to Beverly Road on the 2 and 5 trains station due to the cold weather. 5. The B16 bus has too many turns from Fort Hamilton Parkway & 56th Street/57th Street to Caton Avenue & Dahill Road. The B16 bus has to turn right on 56th Street & Fort Hamilton Parkway, left on 14th Avenue & 56th Street, left on 36th Street & 14th Avenue, right on 12th Avenue & 36th Street, left on Dahill Road & 12th Avenue, and right on Caton Avenue & Dahill Road toward Prospect Park station on the B, Q, and Franklin Avenue Shuttle train. The B16 bus has to turn left on Dahill Road & Caton Avenue, right on 12th Avenue & Dahill Road, left on 37th Street & 12th Avenue, right on 13th Avenue & 37th Street, right on 57th Street & 13th Avenue, and left on Fort Hamilton Parkway toward Bay Ridge.6. I can’t walk transfer street from Fort Hamilton Parkway on the D train station to Church Avenue on the B and Q trains station due to the cold weather.

Comment: The B16 bus needs to stay along Fort Hamilton Parkway and Caton Avenue from 57th Street/56th Street to Dahill Road so that the B16 bus doesn’t turn there along Fort Hamilton Parkway and Caton Avenue in both directions.B23 bus will be restored along 16th Avenue and Cortelyou Road between Dahill Road & Flatbush Avenue and extend along Beverley Road between Flatbush Avenue & Brooklyn Avenue, Brooklyn Avenue between Beverley Road & Linden Boulevard, and Linden Boulevard between Brooklyn Avenue & Pennsylvania Avenue in both directions and terminate at Van Siclen Avenue & Wortman Avenue on Weekdays and Weekends.

Comment: BM7c has no inbound (Midtown to Bay Ridge) service between 9AM - 2PM. Reverse commuters would lose a single-seat route into southern Brooklyn. Why not run the same bus that arrives at 57th street back to Bay Ridge like it does now? It doesn't make sense - the bus doesn't disappear into thin air when it reaches midtown

Comment: I have no problem with rerouting the B4 to Stillwell, provided you do not shorten the B64 which you tried to do in 2010 and you replace Beach Haven service by rerouting the B36 to Shell Rd and Avenue Z. I proposed using Stillwell in 1975, but the MTA insisted on its current routing after residents of West 6 Street rejected a bus route on their street.

Comment: Ocean Avenue is lined with mid-rise residential housing. Coney Island Avenue is commercial. Those living along Ocean Avenue cannot use the B68 to get to Kingsborough College. If they prefer the train, they are already using it. They shouldn’t be forced off the bus. Also those coming from East Flatbush and Crown Heights to get to KCC cannot connect to the B68 for one fare and will now require three buses and two fares lengthening their trip time.

Comment: To put the neighborhood concern about the B52 proposal in writing: The PS-56 school community has been trying to alleviate traffic and safety concerns on this stretch of western Gates Ave. for years. It is a narrow street, with school busses and school-related traffic clogging the artery. They are deeply concerned that adding the B52 to this stretch will worsen traffic and safety concerns there, and will not even meet the MTA’s own goal of speeding bus service because the existing speed bumps and added traffic will just slow everyone down.

Comment: Hi, I chose a home on Gates Ave. at Cambridge Pl. 20 years ago, and put a great deal of sweat equity into it, because it did NOT have a bus route. My stretch of Gates is a narrow, quiet, non-commercial stretch, and I’ve spoken with many neighbors on this strip that share my strong opposition to bringing a bus to this stretch. The B52 can still meet the need of better connectivity to the C-Stop at Clinton-Washington WITHOUT this reroute, by instead staying on Greene Ave. and turning south on Washington to Fulton. Meanwhile, we already have proximity to public transit, whereas those on Greene (where the B52 currently runs) and points north have less access, so many of those folks I’ve spoken to do NOT want to lose their proximity. So I speak for many in saying we strongly oppose re-routing the B52 to the stretch of Gates between Classon and Washington. Thank you for your hard work and open mind!

Comment: Lafayette & Grand and Dekalb Ave & Ryerson Avenue the B38 Bus should NOT be eliminated! Elders and others with walkers, canes and wheelchairs will find it dangerous to go up to Classon Ave because the police park their cars on the sidewalks and people in wheelchairs have to go out in traffic because their wheelchairs cannot pass by. PLEASE DO NOT ELIMINATE THE 38 bus at Ryerson and Grand Ave.

Comment: I don't understand that you will be cutting stops on the x27 to 23rd Street.  There are many passengers who travel past Worth Street.  I would have to take three buses just to get to work which makes no sense and I cannot take the subway.

Comment: My name is Shantella Jackson and I am a resident of Ryerson Towers, 309 Lafayette Avenue. I am mobility-impaired and I rely on the B38 Ryerson and Grand Avenue stops as well as the B52 Grand Avenue stop.  Eliminating these stops will cause a hardship for me both physically and safety wise. I oppose the removal of the Bus lines and noted stops.

Comment: May I suggest streamlining the amount of LIMITED B38 bus going Downtown Brooklyn and to Ridgewood Queens.  The problem is there are far too many LIMITED B38s on these routes which impede the ability to be timely.  While I’m waiting at the Ryerson and Grand Avenue on an average there will be at the minimum of three LIMITED B38s before a local and the LIMITED buses is never full to capacity because there are too many.  In addition, I use the B52 in lieu of the B38 when B38 is slow

Comment: seniors and persons with disabilities rely on bus service since subway is ada inaccessible.  frequency of service is a significant issue here at end of routes.  for example, b64: during rush hour it is frequently running at 30+ minute intervals (maybe not per schedule, but de facto) - which is unendurable in extreme weather

Comment: +Jesse.  The current configuration of the B38 makes it very difficult to connect from the 1,2,3,& 4 subway lines to the bus route.  You have to walk over 3 long blocks to get to the B38 stop.  Eliminating stops in Fort Greene definitely impacts older riders.

Comment: The B52 bus is vital for individuals in Bed-Stuy/Bushwick to get downtown for doctor appointments, access to decent supermarkets, ability to get to work, etc. Discontinuing the route at Greene Ave is absolutely ridiculous. And please don't use the explanation that you have taken current ridership into consideration because the B52 is ALWAYS crowded.

Comment: I have a comment about the B52 (not the scope of this call but I couldn't make the dedicated call for that bus line, and I was told that I could make a comment on another call).  The proposed re-routing would run along Gates Ave instead of Greene.  I am opposed to this change -- many seniors along Greene rely on that bus service, and the public school on Gates is also opposed to the change due to the increase in traffic.  Greene is also wider than Gates and more commercial; i.e. more suitable for buses.

Comment: The Brighton 12 Street stop needs to stay. It is in front of a high rise development and a supermarket. Removing the stop will double the trip time for many because they will miss the bus having to walk to the next stop. Also there is a place to sit at Bri 12. No bus shelter at CI Ave. when getting off the subway at walk extra to Bri 12 just to be able to sit down when no bus is coming.

Comment: It makes no sense to eliminate Beaumont and Dover St stops. Both stops are very lightly utilized and no bus makes both stops on the same trip. They usually skip both stops anyway, so nothing is gained. Moving the stops to Coleridge on the southbound side is also a bad idea because two new trees were just planted where you will place the new bus stop. There nearside stop has a driveway which is not optimal for a bus stop.

Comment: Eliminating the western spur of the B68 will prevent many people from accessing the subway. The Brighton Beach, Ocean Pkwy & other stations in this area are not accessible. Many people use the B68 to get to the trains at Stillwell Ave.

Comment: The current Express bus routes (X28 and X38) to Coney Island should continue in the bus re-design.  There is no reason to put an extra burden financially and inconvenience on residents to pick-up the bus on Cropsey Avenue in the new proposed bus re-design.  I use the Express bus on a daily basis, along with many other Coney Island residents.  The service should also continue on the weekends.

Comment: I use the prospect pl/ Warren st 63stop all the time and it would be a huge burden for me if it was eliminated. The b63 is a great line and useful because it has so many stops. This was true when my child was young, it?s true now that I?m older and also for my child who is grown and has a mobility disability. I haven?t found the many stops to be a burden, but a factor that makes taking the bus valuable and useful.

Comment: The loss of one seat rides to the airport for Bed-Stuy is inconivent during the day and concerning during the overnight. We need to prevere 20 min overnight frequency. It will be too easy to reduce service if the MTA sees "ridership is down" because people traveling down Marcus Garvey hop on the B43 or choose other methods to reach the airport. At the very least timed transfers to the new airport route when possible will help keep people to know the waits won't be too long.

Many of them cannot climb the subway steps so they are dependent on busses

This bus helps the sunset park community so much as we have limited subway options and the subways have few elevators.

Comment: Hi Nick,

I’m writing in regard to the Brooklyn Bus Redesign. We’d like to request that MTA look into having express bus service running on or near 39th St in Borough Park. The only two-way street in that area is 39th St, which is why we’re suggesting it as the obvious candidate. From looking at the proposed bus maps, it seems like a logical way of accomplishing this could be rerouting one (or more) of the express buses that currently uses the Prospect Expressway down Church Ave, 39th St, and then onto the Gowanus Expressway.

Have a good weekend and happy new year!

Comment: I'm a resident of Clinton Hill and am concerned about some of the new B52 route. Specifically, the section of Gates Ave being added to the route goes directly in front of PS 56. That part of Gates is narrow, with challenging traffic for the students already - particularly with school buses in the area. Adding a city bus will significantly increase congestion and fumes from stalling cars in this narrow area, while increasing the need for drivers to go into the wrong lane to pass.

Comment: Hello, I have reviewed proposed bus redesign for routes x28/x38. As it is (before changes), the neighborhood of seagate/Coney Island are significantly underserved by public transit. Proposed changes will cause significant strain on these underserved communities by limiting the means of speedy access to Manhattan and other boroughs.

Comment: I would like to voice my opposition to the proposed reroute of the B52 bus west of Classon/Franklin. My daughter is a student at PS 56 on Gates and Irving and having a bus running every 3-4 minutes on this stretch of Gates risks grave traffic, safety, and health concerns, and could make school drop-off and pickup dangerous and difficult for this community. Thank you.

Comment: Regarding the proposed changes to the B103 bus- this bus provides a lifeline to downtown Brooklyn for a large group of riders in Ditmas Park and Kensington. This is especially true when the Q/B subway lines are delayed or suspended, which happens frequently in the winter. The B103 is also important to people who have trouble navigating stairs as none of the subway stations in the area are currently accessible. The redesign of of the B103 is a terrible idea and I hope it never makes it past the proposal stage.

Comment: I am writing to you as a resident of Grand Ave and Gates Ave who is very concerned by the proposed rerouting of the B52 bus route from Greene Ave to Gates Ave. The new route will take the bus along a narrow street which has two preschools (Brooklyn Schoolhouse, Discovery Pitstop) and an elementary school along it (PS 56). The street is crossed by children on a daily basis. And due to the narrow nature of the road, there have already been multiple accidents along it. In September 2021, an infant was struck and killed outside the Discovery Pitstop on Gates Ave & Vanderbilt Ave. Furthermore, this route will run alongside Fulton Street where there is already a bus service (B25) and the C subway line. Meanwhile, there are many large apartment buildings on Greene Ave who currently rely on the existing B52 service. Having spoke to multiple community members, it is clear to us that there is strong opposition to this proposal. Kind regards, Alexandre Singh

Comment: Hi there, As a resident of Bedford-Stuyvesant, I'm asking you not to make the proposed changes: No Limited B38 Bus service No B15 on Lewis Avenue B43 moved from Tompkins Ave to Marcus Garvey Blvd Reduced bus stops The existing bus route in place is important for my weekly commutes and brings needed public transportation in an otherwise dead zone. (The closest trains are a 15 minute walk.) They would also negatively impact local businesses along the route, which our community cannot afford. I hope you'll reconsider the proposed changes and keep what our residents need for a better daily commute. Best, Alexis Cheung

This will be no connecting bus to go to where we live. This is a big hub?dont understand why these stops are take away.

Comment: Eliminating B38 stop at Ryerson and Grand Ave is unacceptable. There is a new multifamily apartment building in addition to two others at those stops. Factor in aging population and young families to walk a long city block is not good customer service. They would frequently be bypassed by buses while struggling to get to those stops.

Comment: Please do not change the B43 route. Moving the the route creates an access issues for many people who have mobility issues, or simply need to get to a bus route in a hurry. And, the proposed change disproportionately affects low income residents in the Tompkins houses. I strongly oppose the proposed change to the B43, which I ride regularly. I don't understand why the proposal is placing both the B43 and B15 on the same streets through Bed Stay, potentially delaying traffic on these streets and creating noise and pollution for residents on Throop and Marcus Garvey. Please keep the route as it is currently configured. Sincerely, Allison

hours in whatever weather condition because many of the bus stops along the B31 line do

Comment: As a resident along the new proposed route for the B52 bus, I strongly object to this rerouting. Gates Ave in that stretch is very narrow and currently quite peaceful thanks to low traffic. We have other buses and trains in close proximity whereas Greene Ave, the current route, is farther from transit options. We have 3 large new high rises going up within a block of Gates and we cannot afford to lose more parking spaces. Putting another bus line on Gates means we would be surrounded on 3 sides by bus routes, further contributing to poor air quality. Please do not route the B52 down Gates Ave until Franklin.

Comment: I oppose the re-routing of the B52. This change would make seniors have to walk farther for the bus after Clinton Ave. There are already two bus routes at that point of Fulton so it does not add options. The change seems not to address any pressing need. Gates Avenue is narrower than Greene and has a school zone on it. Requiring buses to turn on Clinton Ave and then onto Fulton adds a turn at a higher traffic part of the neighborhood and will increase morning traffic which is already slow at that point due to bus and parent traffic for PS 11. This seems like needless tinkering and extra cost to move the bus stops for no gain.

Comment: I live on 50th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues in Brooklyn, the route of the B11. Our block was recently designated a landmark block by the city of New York and the bus is a highly disruptive and even destructive problem on our block. The B11 passes dozens of times a day, rumbling and shaking windows and even walls. I would appreciate the bus being re-routed to avoid possible damage to the delicate brownstone buildings on the block. Thank you for your consideration.

Comment: I am on Gates/Classon, and our block will now have a NEW stop directly across an existing stop under this proposal. There are already stops one block away at Gates/Franklin. Because of the frequency of the B52 bus, our residential homes will now be subject to East/West bound bus traffic non-stop. The bus stops create a lot of trash and the residential block should not have both East/West bound traffic on the same corner with no relief. The single stop collects litter and loiterers. Having another will just subject the residential block to more difficulty and again, there is already another stop *one block* away.

Comment: Hi all. For the B62, I just want to make sure MTA is in close communication with DOT regarding the rerouting onto McGuinness Boulevard, as DOT is currently planning a major redesign of the road! I think these projects could dovetail well but only if everyone is working together.

Moving B62 to McGuiness makes a lot of sense, if it's all integrated w/ the design. I believe DOT is planning to present new design options for McGuinness in early 2023.

Comment: I live on Lewis Ave and regularly take the B15 northbound to Myrtle Ave where I transfer to the JZ express trains as part of my morning commute. Under the proposed alignment, I would lose the connection to an Myrtle Ave express stop on the JZ line. The new NB B15 would be far enough that I would no longer make sense for me to walk to it, only to connect to a local stop at Flushing Av. I would have to eliminate the JZ from my commute options. I would love to see the B15 NB stay on Lewis Ave but have street improvements made on Lewis Ave so the bus can run faster. They are often slow or bunched in the morning. Stops are frequent and some could be eliminated.

Comment: Joined on behalf of a local organization. They held three workshops, with about 50 people attending each workshop. Nobody liked the stop removals. They do not like bus bunching. Inparticular, would like EB B36 at w 5th and Sea Breeze ave to be retained. Would require families to cross a six lane street that is unsafe. Why are you removing the only bus stop near the park?

Comment: B68- important route for access to local businesses. It has been there for 50 yrs and s important for russian speaking population. Should not be re-routed to manhattan beach. What is the point in switching with the B49? Will only cause confusion. B68 needs good bus shelters to be retained.

Comment: MTA is saying there planning on removing the bus stops on both sides of 79 street and 18ave in Brooklyn.this is the B8 bus Why?? These stops are both detrimental to our community. For one one Block down is a public high school that most kids that take the bus get off at this stop for New Utrecht High on both sides. Second this is also a Train stop of 79 street on New Utrecht to connect to a train from the bus and vice-versa. Losing these two stops will detrimental impact the community. The stops after each one of these would be the better choice if two stops would have to be eliminated at all. Please consider these reasons. Thank you..

Comment: I am writing to voice my opposition to the plan to reroute the B52 along Gates Avenue in Brooklyn. As a resident for over 20 years, I am particularly concerned about loitering, noise, fumes, traffic (especially in the vicinity of PS 56). The initiative as it stands would wreak havoc, causing congestion (in an area with many traffic options). Of note, several stops would be eliminated in bed-stuy - an area long underserved by MTA, to accommodate this change. I am respectfully requesting that this plan be tabled as Gates avenue is already suffering from truck noise/congestion and pollution due to traffic and spiraling construction projects.

Comment: The removal of the B-2 bus line in Brooklyn would cause great inconvenience to those people who depend on this line to get to the Kings Highway express train stop as well as the shoppers to Kings Plaza. It is wrong to force people to walk either to Kings Highway or Ave. U, each being more than 3 long blocks. Many of the passengers on the B-2 line are seniors and/or disables and cannot physically make that walk. The B100 is already overcrowded during rush hours carrying passengers to and from Mill Basin. The B-2 should remain in service.

Comment: Please do not adjust the B43 bus line. I rely heavily on the current bus route to commute to and from work, as well as for access to North Brooklyn. Additionally, my household greatly values the business district that has grown along Tompkins that relies heavily on the B43.

Comment: Please do not alter the B52 path.

This would be a big hardship for my family if the Greene Ave portion of the path were to be eliminated. Please keep it as is!

Comment: Re-routing express buses from Cortelyou to Beverley is going to considerably increase congestion in the neighborhood. Beverley is narrower than Cortelyou and already plagued with standstill traffic between Coney Island Ave and Flatbush. It is not uncommon for pedestrians to outpace vehicles on the stretch between Marlborough-Flatbush. Adding buses will only increase that issue, as well as adding bus stops will create additional traffic snarls as buses need to weave in and out of the driving lane. Beverley Road is too congested to accommodate THREE express bus lines at rush hour.

Comment: Please do not alter the b103 route in Flatbush. This bus goes to critical places that are hard to get to from our neighborhood. The only reason more people don't take the b103 is that it does not run frequently enough. It is often not worth the wait. However, if it came more frequently, people would use it a LOT more.

Comment: Please do not go forward with the redesign of the bus routes in Bed Stuy. The proposed plan would place undue stress on the aging population as well as families and workers that rely on bus service. They would now have to travel farther from their homes to access bus service. This additional travel distance would prove to be difficult for the elderly who may have limited mobility and can't walk the extra distance in the heat, snow, and rain of NYC. Additionally, children who rely on public transportation for school would be forced to walk farther and cross more streets making their commute more unsafe as they travel into newly congested areas. Lastly, ending the B15 service to JFK would mean the loss of a very cost effective way to access the airport that residents and airline employees have benefited from for years. The loss of this route would add another financial burden to the lives of people who are already struggling to deal with the changing environment. These changes to bus service would be force many to utilize more expensive transportation methods ie: buying a personal vehicle. Please reconsider these adjustments. Thank you.

Most residents live on Ridge Blvd/Colonial/Narrows/Shore anyways and would make this much more pleasant to walk to. I live on Shore road it's really far to walk to the B37 everyday. Plus it takes off a lot of traffic off 3rd avenue as it is already very congested.

Comment: I am writing to strongly oppose the removal of significant stops to on B63 Fifth Avenue bus line. Specifically, the Garfield Place stop is used by many people with small children and elderly who would be disproportionately affected by creating a nearly 7 block gap in bus service. The stop?s removal is particularly important because it connects us to the multiple subway stops at the Atlantic terminal subway, relieving residents of relying solely on the R train as our only nearby option. Thank you for reconsidering this harmful reduction in our service.

Comment: Losing the b9 stop at Ave L and E 28th St would be a pretty important loss. The nostrand Ave stop is often hugely overcrowded with both people exiting and entering, making it an unpleasant experience. This will exacerbate the issue. On the other side, the Bedford avenue stop is underutilized at all times except ps 193s arrival and dismissal. Other times I much regularly see e 28th much more frequently used. Unrelated, and one I?m not personally affected by, but this b103 slashing seems incredibly over-extreme. You?re suggesting 2 bus transfers instead of 0? Yikes

Comment: I love the proposed changes for the b16 route. There are not 1, but 2 bus stops on a single block on 37th street between 12 and 13. This block was recently developed into affordable apartments and many families with young children live there and feel unsafe with their children out in the backyards because of these bus stops. In addition, a large new private school has recently been built on 38th street and at arrival and dismissal time, their buses, which enter their lot on 37th street, cause traffic and mayhem! Add the city bus to that and there will be tremendous delays, which I?m sure you can see in your reports. In other words, the proposed change to remove the excessive turns onto small, private residential streets is a great idea and the city should go for it 100%! Thank you for reading my feedback

We hope we can have more frequent buses, because many times we have to wait 30 minutes or longer for a bus! (especially weekend and off-peak hours), this is really inconvenient for all of us. Hope the bus service can be improved, not reduce! Thank you for your consideration!

Comment: It is extremely infuriating that in a neighborhood that has 2 bus routes and no other public transit options, BOTH buses pretty much run the route at the same times, and subsequently leave riders then stranded for 30+ mins until they both decide to run together again. It's pretty ridiculous that with these 2 bus line running through Red Hook, there isn't staggering between the 2 lines to not only better service the community, but also more logically make a ride out the neighborhood take no longer than a 10-15min wait. Fix this!

Comment: Hello, I am writing to express my concern with the proposed changes to the BM4, but this actually seems to apply to all of the BM buses. I rely on the express bus to get to work every morning, and get off at Park Row/Spruce Street. At my previous job, I got off at Church/Barclay Street. These are both extremely busy stops, not to mention an area where many city and state employees work. Eliminating these stops is simply unreasonable, and I'm not really sure what you are expecting the people who rely on these stops to do, being that the next closest stops are not close at all- I know for me it would add an additional 15 minute walk (at least) which no one has time for in their morning commute. Please consider revising this plan to become more and not less accommodating for all of the people who work within this area. Thank you.

Comment: I honestly find it appalling how you are ridding of these services instead of adding on to them. My sister goes to school in the city. The trains have become extra dangerous with all the stabbings and crackheads around. So, I am at a bit more ease that she takes the X28 instead of the train. If you take away these services at these times, she would be exposed to the dangers of the train and so would others. That terrifies me. I love her so much and want her to be safe. The MTA bus services are a safer and more reliable source of travel. Keep the services. If you don?t, you?ll be making a grave mistake.

Comment: I strongly oppose the changes to the B48 bus line. It is the primary way for me to get from Crown Heights into Williamsburg/Greenpoint and I currently take it around 4 times a week. Besides the convenience of this service, I also greatly value the safety of being able to ride the bus alone at night vs. taking the subway and having to walk 20 minutes in a quiet area in the dark. The proposed changes make commuting a lot more difficult and stressful. The current B48 service is appreciated by many and a critical connection line between north and south Brooklyn.

Comment: As part of a citywide re-assessment, the MTA has proposed re-routing the B52 bus so it runs past PS56 along Gates Ave. west of Classon/Franklin (where in the past it has turned north to run along Greene). A bus running every 3-4 minutes on this stretch of Gates risks grave traffic, safety, and health concerns, and could make school drop-off and pickup dangerous and difficult. It could also make it harder to get a STOP sign installed. Please DO NOT change the route of the B52 bus in this area. This stretch of this 2-way street is ENTIRELY too small for buses going in either direction. Our children would NOT be safe if this were to occur!

Comment: Your proposed removal of the b48 on Nassau Ave in Greenpoint as well as only running service 2 times an hour during the week is unacceptable. Those of us that live furthest up Nassau are a very long walk to the nearest subway and we have jobs we need to get to. The service on weekends for those of us that work weekends is already so awful I can't imagine why you would want to make it worse. This city isn't just for people who have no where to go and no time to be there. Many of us work hours outside the regular 9-5 m-f. This would be devasting as a long time resident of Greenpoint.

Comment: Hello, As you may or may not know, there are two large newly built luxury buildings at the first stop for the x38 and x28 on Surf Avenue and W 36th St. Many residents who live in the building work in Manhattan and use these express bus routes as the proposed ferry which was promised was never built out. There is a large population of these buildings who benefit and use these routes.

Comment: The MTA has a proposal on the table to retire the B2 bus service which is a vital route in our Marine Park community. Many school children and elderly depend on this bus service every day. Not to mention all the people commuting to the B and Q trains to go to Manhattan.  Marine Park is already a two-fare zone. Eliminating the B2 will overcrowd and already packed B100 line.  It?s hard enough commuting in southeast Brooklyn. We don?t need more obstacles.

Comment: Good route, terrible choice of streets. While Church Avenue may be mitigable, New Lots / Hegeman Avenues however, will be a detriment to your 'faster and more reliable access to JFK Airport.'

Your current buses [B8/B15/B35; B15/B83] on this road pair can barely pass each other now.

Is this not meant to be a +SelectBus route? +SelectBus routes will always work better on roads that have a dedicated bus lane. For this type of service, it would be better on Linden Boulevard, which has space for bus lanes; than on New Lots Avenue with guaranteed mixed traffic plus driveways.

Comment: Commenting on the possible termination of Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights Express Bus lines. This would be a severe disservice to the many commuters who have been using MTA?s above ground transportation for several years. An already expensive option, with no more upside than just being above ground, has been the dedicated method of commute for hundreds of city tax payers every morning and evening. Strongly advising against the termination of these busses.

Comment: Hello, I am a Bay Ridge resident and I regularly take the x37 from Oliver Street to Midtown. The idea of taking stops out in Bay Ridge and limiting service is an inefficient, ignorant, & clear misunderstanding of the area & its residents. Bay Ridge has a thriving network of professionals & students who commute daily to the city & the express albeit more expensive, is much more convenient than the local R train for many residents who do not live as close to the train. In addition, the wait times, lines, and distance between stops is enough already for people to be running to catch the bus or at times missing it due to the inefficiencies of the MTA in general. Removing stops is not the solution. It puts a heavier strain on individuals in their jobs, with their families, & makes the commute both longer, the lines for the bus at each stop will be longer, & limiting our access to the city that is already quite limited for our area. This decision will make it as difficult and as remote as the commute is from SI. Lastly, taking commuting options away from a neighborhood continuously growing with young families with working parents will severely damage it economically as it will be less attractive for young working professionals to move here versus other parts of the city. I ask, whole heartedly as a young parent, young professional, and lifetime resident of this area, do not make these changes to our commuting options that, as of now, will only damage our wonderful community.Thanks!

Comment: I highly recommend and believe that the proposed B55 should be extended further west, to connect with the D at Ninth Ave, and the N/R at 36th street. This would allow the B55 to serve as a circuitious route, as an further in alternative to the future IBX, connecting all major Subway lines in Brooklyn. It would further connect Sunset Park with a one seat ride to JFK

Comment: The newly proposed B55 Select Bus Service route should be expanded past the current proposed terminus of McDonald Ave to connect with the D and N/R trains. This would allow the bus to serve as another complete ring connecter route, more central than the future Interborough Express, allowing for connections that are currently very difficult to make along the Church Avenue corridor, with the slow speeds and unpredictability of the B35. Without this extension, the B55 route is cut short, lacking access to to Sunset Park / Industry City and the highly utilized 36th street station N/R station or the D train corridor at 9th Ave.

Comment: Moving the B44 away from Tompkins ave is a terrible idea, this would reduce service on a critical corridor used by countless community members in northern Brooklyn to get to the C and A train lines which feed into Manhattan. Its critical these connections to job centers stay open and accessible. Further your plans to reduce stops are a ridiculous abdication of responsibility at a time when public transit needs to be INCREASING service and scope instead of retreating. This bus redesign plan reads as an excuse to cut service and limit the operations of the MTA's bus network in Brooklyn. It would be an outrage to proceed with stop cuts in the service of marginal "speed increases". Even if your claim that each station cut increases bus speeds by 20 seconds is true it is not worth it to force riders to walk longer or out of their way to access the system. this will further drive down ridership.

In Greenpoint alone over 3000+ new apartments are being built, if this bus line is removed the impact to the transit system (G Subway) will be catastrophic. I'm not in favor of this redesign as it's not well-planned for the future of the neighborhood.

B-36 and B-74 - closing numerous bus stops on West End of Coney Island would have terrible effect on many Coney Island residents, especially seniors.

Comment: Hi, I am interested in following the proposed changes. Many of the lines I frequent will greatly benefit from reduced stops. For years I felt the B3 in particular had a ridiculous design of stops too clustered together that made getting anywhere a nightmare. As for the B2 vs B100 I do think the current setup is redundant but I also understand the community wanting a bus line that removes them from the school rush. I also know the b100 does not run as much as the b2 which makes it a great back up option. As my home has a stop in front of it I do see it being used by many working age people during peak times but admit it's not used constantly. I think if you are going to eliminate the b2 and keep the b100 on filmore you will need more frequent service, make a 24/7 line and consider bigger busses during peak times.

Comment: I am writing in strong opposition to the MTA?s plan to reroute the B48 away from Greenpoint as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network?s Redesign. This route provides a crucial connection between Crown Heights and Greenpoint that cannot be found elsewhere in the transit system. If it were removed, significant portions of Western Crown Heights and Western Bed Stuy would be left without a transit connection to North Brooklyn. I regularly use this route to travel between Crown Heights and Greenpoint and would have no other way to make this trip if it were removed. The proposal also proposes cutting overnight bus service on the B48, which would leave sections of Brooklyn along this route without buses after midnight. As a frequent rider of the B48 during the day and at night, I am writing in strong opposition of the proposal to cut overnight service as well. I would have no other way to travel if these changes were made. Please restore the initial B48 route to Greenpoint and 24 hour schedule in the final draft plan of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign. Thank you, Arielle

Comment: The B100 needs more PM frequency in both the PM peak hours and the early evening hours. I, along with many others, take that bus home from the Kings Highway every day and it's frequently packed with waits between departures that are too long. Removing the B2 line without adding more B100 service will only compound the problems on this route.

Comment: We received a note from the Principal of the Dock St school in DUMBO. Many of her students rely on the B25 (~170 per day) and she noted that the gaps in service have delayed student pick ups between 25 and 40 minutes each day.

I understand that the B25 has significant operational challenges due to the traffic in Downtown Brooklyn and DUMBO. Are there any strategies that the MTA is using in the bus redesign and outside of the redesign process to increase bus speeds along this line?
 
I recently worked with local stakeholders and DOT to get boulders placed on Main/Water to prevent illegal parking, which was a significant obstacle to the B25. Hopefully there are similar strategies we can discuss.

Comment: The X28 and really all express buses are crucial for neighborhoods underserved by subway train lines, which all too often have disruptive maintenance and delays. If anything we need more frequent service on these lines. It is about quality of life in saving time, feeling safe, and even better air quality in a post-pandemic reality. Especially with more people commuting again, we cannot afford to lose service at all. Please do not make it more difficult for outer neighborhoods to connect to the rest of the city.

Comment: Yeah, sure. More of a general comment about the downtown Brooklyn area in general. There are obviously a lot of routes that go through this area, specifically Fulton Street, the B 25, B 26, rush, B 38, B 52. They all share the same one lane on Fulton Street, the Busway through downtown Brooklyn, which I'm happy there are people from the D O T today here because the core of Brooklyn, Fulton Street is a disaster for bus operations as one lane in each direction. And it is constantly invaded by illegal parking of U P s, FedEx, Amazon, D H L even downtown Brooklyn Partnership Park. Some of their vehicles there. Vehicles are constantly disregarding the very, very, very minimal signage on Fulton Street that's saying it's for buses only. There's no paint. It takes d o t months if not years to replace a sign that falls down.

Comment: Sure. Happy to. I'll jump in on the B38 continuation. One of the proposals that I noticed in the Remix map is that in the B 38 downtown Brooklyn direction, they removed the stop at the DeKalb and Carlton Avenue in that area on the DeKalb Avenue. There's actually a lot of restaurants that have been coming in. There's also a weekly farmer's market in that area. And that bus stop provides accessibility for customers who are in that area to get to the trains in downtown Brooklyn where I worry that removing that stop could have negative impacts in those businesses and the farmer's market accessibility.

Comment: Cars aren't allowed on Fulton Street and it deeply impacts the bus network that goes through there. So it really doesn't matter if you remove 5% of the bus stops on the B 38, if five of your buses are getting stuck on Fulton Street because they simply can't get through that area. Doesn't matter what you do with the rest of the network. So I'm just really hoping that some attention can be paid to this problem. Obviously, Livingston Street too the bus lanes are never clear and that impacts several of the proposed routes as well. The B 41, the B 41 xt, the B 45, the B 67, these should be really easy problems to solve if the MTA works with the D O T and God forbid, the N Y P D to get these people out of your bus lanes because the reliability is just, it's awful.

Comment:  I would highly suggest someone from D O T go out there and observe the behavior of the traffic on that street. Because park, if you park any vehicle, you are taking 100% of the lane in that direction. So if there's a truck parked here, no buses can continue that way. If there's traffic come in the other direction, oftentimes you'll see a U P S truck parked across the street from a u s truck and buses will have to sl 'em back and forth between them. It is utterly ridiculous. I know this is more of an enforcement issue, but additional signage, red paint, anything more than the basically nothing that's in Fulton Street on Fulton Street today to really hell drivers that this is a busway that drivers are not supposed to be on there, that deliveries, maybe they should use the delivery zones that are on pretty much every side street that intersects with Fulton Street. Something's got to be done there because unfortunately the reliability for any MTA bus that goes down there is just abysmal.

Comment: Sorry, one more thing. I'm still not clear why some routes are seemingly ending at random places. I mentioned this in the chat, but the proposed B 48, which takes over the B 69, it just ends in Dumbo under the Manhattan Bridge. It doesn't really go anywhere. It doesn't go to downtown Brooklyn as the route name suggests. I'm just wondering why that route wouldn't continue into downtown Brooklyn to connect with High Street or Clark Street or Borough Hall or J Street. The Navy Yard is increasingly popular for companies to move into. There's lots of new businesses moving in there and it would be helpful to have that proposed route actually connect to one of the many subway lines in downtown Brooklyn. And that's all I have. So thank you all for listening. Thank you for involving the community in this.

Comment: Hello, my children both use the B103 constantly in order to make our way from Cortelyou Road to 3rd Ave and 3rd Street. If the proposed route goes through, it would mean they would need to use the Q/B train to Atlantic Avenue which is much much more confusing for a 6th grader. The alternate of using 2 buses would mean the commute would almost double. We use the Limited function of the B103 constantly, please please do not discontinue it. Thanks.

Comment: The reduction of limited bus service to Sunset Park via B35, now B55 is harmful to workers and families that travel from east to west and vice versa. We need Limited service all the way to 39th and 3rd Ave. I speak for my neighbors in the community of East Flatbush pleading you to reconsider. My children attend school on 39th and we live closer to Utica Ave. Transferring at McDonald Ave with 2 children to continue on the route via a local B35 will make our commute more arduous.

Comment: I am concerned about the reduced service on nights and weekends. As a theater worker who works almost entirely nights and weekends, reducing the already reduced nighttime express bus (specifically x27) service would affect me in a very negative way. It is already frustrating to miss one bus and have to wait 40 minutes for another (not being able to leave work consistently at the same time) so even less service than that would make it untenable for me to continue using the express bus. I would then be forced to use the subway, which I am very hesitant to use at night but now would have no choice to do so, which is an additional mental burden. I don't feel I have to elaborate on my previous incidents using the subway, but it does not feel safe or sustainable for me. I don't make enough money to take a taxi. From a standpoint that the MTA may care more about, I also would be spending less money on my weekly unlimited card. I currently purchase the $62 but if I can't get a good bus time at night when I leave work and rely on it the most, I will not do that anymore. I'm aware that doesn't matter much to the MTA to lose one unlimited card fare, but the peace of mind that I would be sacrificing is. Please reconsider reducing night and weekend service.

It will also reduce the already scarce parking spaces we have om Gates Avenue and result in more noise, fumes and dirt. Kindly drop this plan.

There are no transfer points if the bus is changed to water street inbound. Such a disservice to us who already live in a two fare zone.

Comment: Please, you cannot remove the bus stops that serve Tompkins, Lewis, and Brooklyn Aves. Public transport is already difficult enough. Your role should be to support the residents by improving these systems, not making them worse.

Comment: Removing the B2 and changing the route for the B100 becomes a detriment to the neighborhood of Marine Park, Brooklyn. These buses during rush hour are already filled to capacity and by the time it hits E36 and Ave s therer are only a few standing spots left on the bus. No one wants to squeezed together like cattle.

Comment: Customer is opposed to the rerouting with the B62 bus at green point because their are a lot of elderly people that take the bus from their to Bedford having them take the bus from McGuiness Blvd is dangerous and too far out. Another bus she would like to complain about is the B43 bus which is too crowded and they never have any seats. She went to an Assembly in which many other people are opposed to these changes to this new proposal. Recommends that there should be flyers to notify customers of changes in routes because not everyone has access to the internet.

Comment: The Lorraine st/ Hicks st Stop on the B61 route needs to be kept! On my way home, many people get off on these stops. Also, the stop on columbia gets extremely crowded already during the morning rush. Removing the bus stop would make that worse. It is also less accessible to the elderly who rely on these closer bus stops near their residence.

Comment: It?s imperative that the MTA does not eliminate stops on the X27 bus route in Bay Ridge. Many of the stops on Shore Road that the MTA has proposed eliminating are in front of densely populated buildings and the stops are well utilized. It doesn?t make any sense to eliminate them. Please think about the elderly and disabled people; they do not have the ability to travel longer distances once their bus stops are eliminated.

Thanks so much for the follow up. As I mentioned in our phone conversation, we have heard extensive concern from AD57 residents about the routes below, as well as the B38.
......
B38 - The Clinton Hill portion of the B38 serves a high population of seniors, who are concerned about the increased spacing between the bus stops along the route. We have heard particular concern about the need to maintain the stops at Ryerson/DeKalb and Grand/Lafayette.

Since I now work hybrid(since the pandemic) and my office is in lower Manhattan (120 Broadway) I often end up on the 2pm or 3pm bus into Manhattan. Also, I'm sad to see the bus stop across the street from my office has also been eliminated - it was always more roomy to wait there than at Exchange Place, so people don't crowd the sidewalk. Please reconsider cutting the Broadway/Cedar St stop on both the BM8 and BM8c.

Comment: the proposed changes within Bedford-Stuyvesant will (a) reduce connectivity and
make residents more reliant on cars, (b) deeply impact seniors and residents with impaired
mobility by reducing their independence, (c) eliminate stops thereby increasing distance-todestination by up to three times, (d) decrease service time overall, and (e) consolidate routes
creating more bottlenecks and congestion resulting in environmental harms such as worse local
air quality.WHEREAS, Bedford-Stuyvesant’s population growth has significantly outpaced both the city’s
and the borough’s growth during the past two Census cycles.
WHEREAS, planned development in the community anticipates continued population growth
over the next decade.
WHEREAS, the most likely impact of the proposed changes will transform Bedford-Stuyvesant
from a “transit-rich” community to one that is transit starved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Brooklyn Community Board Three objects to the
Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Draft Plan for routes within the community district.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board implores the MTA to study the impacts of the
proposed changes more rigorously, with site visits, route tours, and customer surveys.BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board requests the revised MTA study present findings that
are transparent and open to public scrutiny and feedback.

Comment: I object to the removal of 3 bus stops on 7th avenue, and 5th avenue, in Park Slope. As a person with mobility issues, this is of particular concern. This area is greatly underserved by subways and this will make it very much more difficult for the elderly and impaired to get around. It may seem like a good idea for the MTA to remove these stops so the commuters can get to their jobs more quickly, but for those of us who are deeply dependent on the bus stops near our homes and destinations it's like a death sentence. We won't be able to get where we need to go without it involving a great deal of pain and anxiety. These stops are adjacent to necessary services like grocery stores. Even walking a couple of blocks when you are disabled is a nightmare. Please reconsider!

Comment: The Brooklyn proposal is completely out of touch with the communities needs. The elimination of bus stops in Bay Ridge specifically along the X27 route, which has limited transit options is unreasonable and CANNOT happen. I moved into a building near the Oliver St bus stop specifically to have easy access to the bus. Many senior folks in the community can also not walk to a different stop a the hills and slopes of Shore Road will prove dangerous for many of them. Don?t eliminate the bus stops!!

Comment: Extend the B15 bus just one block east along Linden Boulevard to Emerald Street and terminate the B15 along Emerald Street between Linden Boulvard and Loring Avenu to serve the new large apartment complex at 2858 Linden Boulevasd plus also better serve the Loring Estates housing development to the southeast.

Comment: Still in most cases three buses will be needed to access Kingsborough Community College from this major B44SBS route.  Perhaps the B44SBS should be extended from Avenue Z/Ocean Parkway to Kingsborough Community College or perhaps another branch of the B44SBS be created to serve Kingsborough Community College?

Comment: I don't know why you flipped the B57 over to Park Avenue and the B62 over to Flushing Avenue.  That's not the streamlining of routes with less turns. There's more shopping areas including Wegmans that need to be served by the B57 route.  If B62 riders also need access to that shopping area segment of Flushing Avenue then create a brand new route between Livingston Street/Smith Street in Downtown, Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridge Plaza to just serve Park Avenue.  Also the new B27 route should also be extended along Flushing Avenue as well terminating at Broadway by the Woodhull Hospital so that less transferring for Redhook passengers would be required to access other areas of Brooklyn.  B13 passengers also need access to Flushing Avenue that's why its also important to extend the B13 to Flushing Avenue to transfer with the B57 as well.

Comment: Our community has a lot of older adults that have mobility issues. As a result, it is very important to keep all the bus stops as they are. Most of the residents of the community need these bus stops for using public transportation. It's hard for a person with a walker to go 10 blocks to get to the bus stop.

Comment: The MTA should work with NYCDOT to construct a concrete platform on top of the stiped area of this street along the north (westbound) side of Linden Boulevard between 79th Street and S. Conduit Avenue.  A bus stop area and bus stop could then be placed there (replacing the other bus stop at the service road between 78th and 79th Street)  so that if a bus such as the B15 route or B55 route or BM5 or any other route could now stop there, so that it would then be easier for the bus to later get over into the left lane if needed to later make a left turn at Drew Street/Linden Boulevard or at Eldert Lane/Linden Boulevard in order for that route to access points such as Loring Avenue, Stanly Avenue and/or the USPS Brooklyn GMF.  Also for safety concerns for people that could be waiting for the bus at this new bus stop location, NYCDOT should also place a bus (only) lane in the right center lane in front of where those buses would be stopping, so that other types of vehicles (such as cars & trucks) would either move into the right service road of westbound Linden Boulevard or into the other two center lanes of westbound Linden Boulevard.

Comment: We need to keep the southbound bus stop @ Lorraine st & hicks. 1. It was just newly renovated. Residents of red hook had to wait about over 3 years for the bus stop to be back due to it being taken away for the city to fix the baseball parks. 2 taking away that stop will now cause all persons to have walk to Lorraine st & Columbia which is always crowded due to the many stores on that block. It?s very congested at that stop and can be very dangerous at times when certain people are around dealing drugs.

Comment: I know I previously suggested that the B103 serve the East 105th Street "L" Subway Station rather than the IRT New Lots Avenue Subway Station but if the B103 could loop in and out of the East 105th Street Subway Station there is another transit need that the B103 route could serve further east as well.   This would be to keep the extension of the B103 up to Linden Blvd./Ashford Street.  At that point the B103 could be revised and extended east along Linden Blvd. to Fountain Avenue, then north along Fountain Avenue, weest along Sutter Avenue, north along Logan Street  and east along Pitkin Avenue to the Euclid Avenue Subway Station  providing  Linden Blvd. passengers between Ashford Street and Fountain Avenue access to this closer subway station than the Broadway Junction Subway Station which is a longer distance away for passengers along this segment of Linden Boulevard.  Routing of the B103 in the westbound direction way could be similar from Pitkin Avenue/Euclid Avenue via Euclid Avenue south , Sutter Avenue west and Fountain Avenue south back to Linden Blvd. and west along Linden Blvd. toward Ashford Street.  Your  agency could then further revise the B20 route so that it could remain on Stanley Avenue between Pennsylvania Avenue and Postal Facility Road so the route would no longer need to serve Linden Blvd. as the B103 would provide bus service for these Linden Blvd. passengers.  At the eastern end of the B20 route at the USPS Facility the B20 route could then be further extended either to Fornbell Street/Flatlands Avenue or travel up to Loring Avenue or Linen Blvd. and terminate somewhere near the Brooklyn/Queens border or the B20 could travel into Queens  either via Linden Blvd. and the Conduit Boulevard  (N & S Conduit Avenue) or via Stanley Avenue/151st Avenue.

Comment: I know some people at the last CB #4 workshop and Allan Rosen have suggested that the B14 be extended to Cross Bay Blvd./Pitkin Avenue which is possible, however there would be alot of turns involved especially in the westbound direction as the bus would be in the service road of Linden Blvd. as it would then need to stop at 79th Street/Linden Blvd. and won't be able to make a left turn at Eldert Lane but again would need a sries of turns around Drew Street, Dunont Avenue & Eldert Lane to serve the USPS in the westbound direction only later to need to return back to the north side of Linden Blvd.  The B14 would need to serve just the USPS Brooklyn GMF or just Cross Bay Blvd./Pitkin Avenue but not both locations unless two separate branches are created but then that would reduce frequency for some B14 riders on each branch.  If the B14 remains terminating at the USPS Brooklyn GMF then another route from that neighborhood needs to be selected to terminate at or just stop at Cross Bay Blvd./Pitkin Avenue such as the B15 or B55 XT since these two routes would be coming from Linden Blvd. and would not need to make multiple turns  at Eldert Lane to access  Stanley Avenue and the USPS Brooklyn GMF Facility and Spring Creek area.

Comment: In the n/b direction the bus stop you added at Fountain Avenue/Loring Avenue is right next to a car wash where there's many cars exiting plus the intersection is very close to Linden blvd. where the bus would have a hard time getting into the center lane to make a left turn.  It just might be best to have the B20 travel along Euclid Avenue between Staney Avenue and Linden Blvd. instead of Fountain Avenue even though it might be slightly longer.   You could put the bus stops about 100 feet south of Linden Blvd. Although one lane (each direction) Euclid Avenue is not as heavilty travveled as Fountain Avenue so would be less traffic for the bus stopping there.  Also you'll need to reinstate the two bus stops at Logan Street/Linden Boulevard as well.   If Euclid Avenue is too narrow for the bus between those two points Crescent Street should also be considred.  This same issue also affects the B13 route as well where it has been also suggested to use Euclid Avenue instead of Fountain Avenue between Stanley Avenue and Linden Blvd.  Again Crescent Street may also be reconsidred if Euclid Avenue is determined to be too narrow between those points for a bus.  Fountain Avenue between Stanely Avenue and Linden Blvd. may seem quickr then the other two streets but it does have certain disadvantgeous  for passengers transferring between buses and also for safely entering and entering the bus as well.

Comment: The B4 route should be revised to travel along 75th Street/a/k/a Bay Ridge Parkway between 3rd Avenue and Shore Road as the street is less narrow than the other two streets plus two way operation.  The B4 route only needs to operate along 77th Street & 78th Street for just one block between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue  to serve the 77th Street "R" Subway Station.   Traveling westbound  at 75th Street/Shore Road the B4 bus could also make a left turn and continue to either 79th Street/Shore Road near the Shore Road Park entrance to terminate at and later make a U-turn at that point for the eastbound operation or as another option the B4 could continue a few more blocks to terminate across from Fort Hamilton High School and make a U turn at Shore Road Lane/Shore Road to travel back in the poosite direction.   I understand the B16 serves Fort Hamilton High School but B4 service would probvide more direct bus service to some students and less transferring.

Comment: Add another RUSH route between the Broadway Junction and Pennsylvania Avenue/Seaview Avenue paralleling the former B83 route along Pennsylvania Avenue and Van Siclen Avenue.  This proposed RUSH route should make all local stops south of New Lots Avenue along Pennslyvania Avenue , van Siclen Avenue & Vandalia Avenue but north of New Lots Avenue would make less stops as is being proposed for the B20 Rush route.  At Pennslyvania Avenue/Vandalia Avenue this RUSH route could continue to parallel the B83 route or another option would be to have this RUSH route  travel to Loisianna Avenue and then travel south along Louisianna Avenue to Seaview Avenue.  This additional RUSH route could terminate at either Pennsylvania Avenue/Seaview Avenue or travel further east and terminate in front of the Brooklyn Sports Club along Van Siclen Avenue.

Comment: Clarifying my comments from Cb#4 Workshop regarding Q109 to serve Linden Center Mall.  The Q109 could serve former B14 bus stops along Drew Street betwen Sutter Avenue and Loring Avenue an then make a right turn at loring avenue, a right turn at Eldert Lane and another right turn at Linden Blvd.andthen a right turn into the center lane of Linden Blvd.  The Q109 could then travel into theleft turning lane at 79th Street/Linden Blvd. anf make a U turn into the westbound service road and the Q109 could terminate in front of the current B15/BM5 bus stop which is also in front of the Linden Center Mall.  Another available second routing option from Loring Avenue/Drew Street would be for the Q109 bus to make a left turn at drew Street/Loring Avenue (instead of a right turn)  and travel east to Emerald Street or Amber Street and then travel south along either street to Stanley Avenue, at Stanley Avenue the Q109 would travel east to 79th Street and make a left turn and travel north to Linden Boulevard where the Q109 could then make a left turn into the westbound service road of Linden Blvd. and terminate in front of the current B15/BM5 bus stop which is also in front of the Linden Center Mall.  In the Jamaica bound direction the Q109 could travel along Linden Boulevard to Eldert Lane or Lincoln Avenue , then to Sutter Avenue, then to Pine Street, and Pine Street  to Pitkin Avenue then turn left traveling east along Pitkin Avenue toward Jamaica.  Please note at the last stop in front of the Linden Center Mall passengers that boarded the bus toward the eastern end of the route could remain on the Q109 bus if traveling toward Jamaica since the routing is somewhat diffrent then the Jamaica bound routing.

Comment: I understans that the Q8 routing to the New Lots Avenue Subway Station id the most efficient however, there is another routing that would provide Linden Boulevard custoners (between Euclid Avenue and Ashford Street)  access to both the Euclid Avenue Subway Station and the New Lots Avenue Subway Station.  In the westbound direction the Q8 could travel south along Euclid Avenue to Linden Boulevard and west along Linden Boulevard to Ashford Street and north along Ashford Street to New Lots Avenue.  At New Lots Avenue the Q8 could still be extended further west to van Siclen Avenue and south along Van Siclen Avenue to Vandalia Avenue to whatever is determined by the MTA for the Q8 route to terminate at.   In the eastbound direction the Q8 could travel north along Van Siclen Avenue to New Lots Avenue and travel east along New Lots Avenue to Ashford Street, then south along Ashford Street to Linden Boulevard.  At Linden Boulevard the eastbound Q8 could stay into the service road of Linden Boulevard and take Linden Boulevard into Loring Avenue to Euclid Avenue or to Cresecnt Street and then north along Euclid Avenue to Sutter Avenue then Sutter Avenue to Pine Street and north along Pine Street to Pitkin Avenue or just north along Cresecent Street from Loring Avenue to Pitkin Avenue then back on its normal route to Jamaica.  As I indicated this routing is longer that the currently proposed Q8 routing between the Euclid Avenue Subway Station and the New Lots Avenue Subway Station but it would provide more convenient subway connections for many potential Linden Boulevard Q8 passengers.  Another note is that this type of Linden Boulevard Q8 routing was also previously used by the former Q21A bus route that was operated by Green Bus Lines many years ago.

If passengers on the B82 Local want those other stops reinstated on the B82 Local route (mentioned earlier) than the B82 Local route routing could remain unchanged and just the B82SBS route be rerouted over to Louisiana Avenue between Vandalia Avenue and Twin Pines Drive.

Comment: The following comment is in regards to the proposed changes to the B31. The letter does not
address the removal of stops, so I will briefly say: removing stops in order to reduce travel time
for a commute that ultimately lasts around 15 minutes is shortsighted and wrongheaded. It will
impact the ability of seniors to access bus stops, and overall make for a more cumbersome trip
for some in a community where mode shift needs to be encouraged. That being said, please see

Comment: I've seen comments on Facebook about four days ago from "Ridgewood, Maspeth, Middle Village, Glendale, area" group that many people need B38 to serve Grandview Avenue/Metropolitan Avenue. Someone suggested that the B38 could loop that area both directions possibly with separate e/b & w/b stops.  A workshop in Queens CB #5 should be considered due to the B38 and some other changes which also affects Queens..

Comment: Extending the B45 might seem to make sense ending it at a subway station but most passengers are taking the subway to Manhattan would probably want closer access to the nearby IRT #3 & 4 Utica Avenue (Express/Local) Subway Station along Eastern Parkway (only a few blocks away from St Johns Place) rather than travel further east and further north to a local Subway Station of the "C" Line.  The B45 although  could then still continue east along eastern Parkway to the Broadway Junction or possibly the B45 route could merge with the B14 route.

Comment: I understand that NYC wants to reduce the number of cars on the road going into Manhattan, but why reduce the options of getting into Manhattan by negatively modifying the express bus service? Perhaps if the subways were cleaner, safer, on-time, and accessible the modification to the bus routes would make some sense. This may also keep some Ubers and Lyfts out of Manhattan.

Comment: I live near the B63 bus. Many elderly people here -- including my husband, who uses a cane or a walker every day -- rely on the B63 to get them to Atlantic Avenue, sites in Brooklyn Heights or downtown. Many physicians and other health care providers are located in Bay Ridge, and seniors take the bus because the local subway stations do not have elevators or escalators. Requiring an older resident, or anyone with limited mobility, to walk several blocks farther every time they need to get a bus is unfair and discriminatory. Please consider the daily needs of older residents who rely on the B63 bus! Thank you.

Comment: 1. With the elimination of the Grand/Ryerson stops, the B38 stops from Washington to Classon will span the distance of a train stop. In my lifetime living in New York, I don't believe I seen a train line that didn't have at least one stop in between stations. While the distance from Washington to Classon may appear to be 2 blocks on Lafayette and 1 block on Dekalb, it is actually the equivalent of 6 blocks (Washington, St. James, Cambridge, Grand, Irving, Downing, Classon)

Comment: 2. Clinton Hill is a robust neighborhood and the access to transportation is partially what has made it a desirable neighborhood thus we have had a large amount of gentrification, new development and rehabs. The Clinton Hill inhabitants in the vicinity of Grand/Dekalb include large numbers of seniors, people with accessibility concerns, families with small children and a college (Pratt Institute). Removing those stops will impact all of those people.

Comment: 3. The DOT created a sidewalk cutout and pedestrian crossing on Dekalb avenue at the Ryerson stop to allow people to cross the street because of the length of that block is excessively long without any lights. Ironically generally only school buses and a few passenger cars ever adhere to the pedestrian crossing.

Comment: Good morning, I belong to the Bay 13/16th Avenue Neighbors Group. I recently became aware of the MTA's intention to reduce X28/X38 express bus service. This would have a significant impact on myself, my family, and our neighbors along the express line. The express bus is our primary mode of transportation for entering the city. Our local MTA bus and subway system is insufficient to get us to Manhattan because it is prone to crowding and delays. We vehemently oppose any cuts or restrictions to the X28/X38 express bus. Thank you for your time and consideration on this issue.

Comment: I'm a resident, homeowner and senior citizen in CB3. The Redesign initiative proposed for the community of CB3 creates major hardships for seniors who rely on the B15 on Lewis Ave. to get us to the nearest hospital, the additional time and distance it will take us to get from one bus stop to another, the elimination of access to local shopping along the Bway corridor, the added traffic congestion and accident risks that having 2 buses traveling the same street will cause. These proposals most certainly did not take into the account the people who live in this community and are dependent to public transportation in the community to access needed services and resources. NO to the proposed redesign initiative

Comment: I work in Lower Manhattan on Broadway, and take the express bus from Church and Ocean Parkway. It appears that the express bus reroutes will diminish some of the service from church and ocean, diverting it to other entrances to the prospect expressway. The stop at ocean is always very crowded and I worry about diminished service at this stop if it is only served by the bm4. In addition, diverting all Brooklyn Express buses off of Trinity place in favor of water street will add significant time to my commute, So I would be in favor of keeping some roots on Trinity.

Comment: I am writing to comment on the x27 redesign.
   I live at 97th Street and Shore Road, I am recently a senior citizen but I continue to work in Manhattan and expect to commute for several more years.

Before discussing the express buses in Bay
 Ridge, let’s discuss the R train in Bay Ridge.  The R (for Rarely) has a long history of being one of the most unreliable and slowest lines in the system.  We in Bay Ridge bear the brunt of these issues.  Unlike Queens Boulevard or other segments of the system
 which have multiple lines, the R is the only train running in Bay Ridge.  If someone sneezes on Queens Boulevard our service is delayed for 30 minutes or an hour.  With 45 local stops, each a chance for something to go wrong, and 8-12 minutes between trains,
 we get hit harder by small disturbances than stations with more frequent service and multiple lines.   There is no redundancy.

Some parts of Bay Ridge along Shore Road
 are more than a mile from the R train, and there is no bus service connecting most of Shore Road to the R train.  From the lower part of the route where I live, it takes 25-28 minutes to FiDi (Rector/Wall St) by X27, by R train it is just under an hour, a
 few minutes faster if you switch to the IRT at Atlantic.  Like many New Yorkers, I am paid by the appointment.  Express bus service enables me to work an additional hour per day, if I do this 5 times a week it is over $20,000 a year income that I pay tax on. 

Bay Ridge is less viable as a place to live
 without the express bus.

Eliminating stops along Shore Road is attempting
 to solve a problem that does not exist here,  and only imposes a hardship on riders.  Unlike a subway train which must make every stop, the express buses do not usually have passengers to pick up or discharge at each station and often bypass many stops along
 the way.   Nor do we have heavy traffic along Shore Road.  While eliminating stops in Manhattan enabled buses to provide faster, more reliable service, the situation here is completely different.  Eliminating a stop will mean that customers, many of whom are
 elderly or handicapped, need to travel further to and from the stops over hilly terrain. And the wind is wicked here during the cold months.

Finally, eliminating the 454 PM x27 during
 the week makes it harder to go into the city for a weeknight theater or concert.

Comment: This is an addendum to my previous email.

Over the years I’ve seen hundreds or maybe thousands of advertisements for the MTA subways, locals buses, LIRR, and Metro-North.  I don’t remember a single advertisement or promotion for the express bus lines. 

Instead it feels like the MTA just doesn’t like the express buses and wants to get rid of them.

The express buses are faster, more comfortable and most people feel safer - they are a better product than most of the subway lines.   They cost more but they are worth it.

You really should give them a chance and  rather than let them be cut and trimmed so that they lose their appeal, test some advertising in areas like Bay Ridge.   This could be a great way to bring outer borough riders back to public transit and Manhattan, feed more ridership to the subways and local buses there and increase business in the city

Comment: Hello, I have utilized the B48 route for both work and for my personal life for many years. I am afraid the redesign of this route would leave a significant transportation void for people living in Crown Heights to reach north Brooklyn. There is not a convenient G train stop near this are of Brooklyn, and the B48 has served as a major passage between these areas. Please reconsider rerouting the B48 bus. Best, Casey

Changes to his current schedule would be detrimental to both him and his safe option to school and would cause unnecessary challenges for him as a NYC public education student and for myself as a NYC Special Education Teacher. Please reconsider making changes to this current line, it will hurt NYers.

Comment: Re: B11 bus stop on 50th St., corner 16th Ave. The bus stop is on a very busy corner. In addition to the B11, several buses from private companies stop here to pick up and drop off passengers that include children and adults of all ages. In addition to this traffic, there are several delivery trucks throughout the day that park their trucks at this bus stop to unload goods to the grocery store situated on this corner. Often, shoppers to the grocery store illegally park at the bus stop which again interferes with passengers attempting to get on and off the bus. We have a very chaotic situation here. It is not a safe situation. It is very important to redesign the B11 bus stop.

Comment: The proposed elimination of the bus stops at Stuart St (westbound) & Burnett St (eastbound) on Ave U poses a safety risk to students at Marine Park JHS, & the families who take buses to access Marine Park?s eastern amenities along Stuart St. On paper, the difference between the next nearest stops may only be two blocks. In actuality, the journey between the stops includes a bustling commercial intersection & multiple commercial driveways & parking lots, with poor sightlines for drivers that puts pedestrians at increased risk. Those most regularly impacted by the change will be the hundreds of students attending Marine Park JHS who rely on the B3 to travel to school. Currently, these students are able to walk along the perimeter of Marine Park & never encounter a driveway or need to cross a street (unless using Burnett St, which has a crosswalk, traffic light & no parking). The new plan is a clear safety risk - almost the entirety of the additional route they must walk is high traffic access points to commercial parking lots. It also forces them to cross Gerritsen Ave, where trucks serving businesses frequently block emergency lanes & make difficult turns. I can provide a map of the area that demonstrates the hazards young bus riders would be forced to encounter if these stops are eliminated. I urge you to consider preserving the stops at Stuart St & Burnett St, & ensure safe passage for the many students & families who depend on these stops daily. Thank you.

Comment: The Brightwater Towers community is concerned about the dangers they encounter while exiting and entering the parking lot on West 5th Street caused by location of the Westbound B36 stop on W 5 ST/W BRIGHTON AV that is adjacent to the entrance to our property; the bus stop is situated under the train trestle at the corner of West Brighton and West 5th street in a poorly lit area. The proximity of the bus stop to our entrance poses a visual obstruction as drivers that are leaving the premises cannot see the oncoming traffic on the West 5th street which is a busy two-way road. When buses stop at the stop to let passengers on and off the bus, this creates a hazardous situation for vehicles maneuvering around a bus and for pedestrians crossing the street. It also impedes those entering the lot due to the bus blocking the pathway. The aforementioned bus stop is located between two Westbound B 36 bus stops (Neptune Ave/5th street and Surf Ave/West 5th street) that are not far away from each other and can accommodate bus riders in this vicinity. For this reason, we are proposing that Westbound B36 stop on W 5 ST/W BRIGHTON AV will be removed during Brooklyn Bus Redesign. We represent a community of 2340 residents with young families and many seniors, and we feel this is one of the major safety concerns for our residents; removal of the bus stop will improve safety and flow of the traffic. Thank you, Pavel Moreff, Board President, Brightwater Towers Condominium

Comment: The redesign of bus routes B36 and B74 will affect the older adults in the community. Our area is isolated and this redesign is adding to it. A lot of older adults have chronic issues, especially mobility impairment- to walk one block, for them, it's like walking ten blocks. The redesign will affect them going shopping, to medical appointments, or even visiting family and friends. In addition, there are numerous new high rises being built in the community taking away bus stops will affect their commute and interests. Safety is also a concern for older adults, in the community, having to walk alone is a concern. With these changes, will there be additional buses on the route and on time?

Comment: NYCT President Richard Davey,

We want more efficient public transportation and safer streets. Therefore, we support the MTA’s proposed change to reroute the westward traveling B45 bus off of Saint Johns Place between New York Avenue and Rogers Avenue.

The MTA has cited the need for the change because this stretch of Saint Johns Place is too narrow for two-way bus traffic. Eastward and westward traveling b45 are constantly stuck, unable to pass each other, creating delays for riders throughout the bus network and dangerous congestions for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

We call on the MTA to move forward with their plan for a more equitable distribution of the B45 route to improve its reliability, operation, efficiency and safety for our community.

Comment: If you remember, I am a resident of Saint Johns Place and rider of the b45.  Myself and other residents of SJP support the MTA’s rerouting of the b45 off of Saint Johns Place onto Sterling for the two blocks between New York Avenue and Rogers to make the b45 run more efficiently and to alleviate the congestions on these two blocks of SJP

I am also a member of CB8’s EST Committee (Environment, Sanitation and Transportation) and will be making my opinion known to CB8 that I support the MTA’s proposed changes.

Comment: Dear MTA~ We are a group of residents who live on Saint Johns Place and/or are riders of the b45 and we wanted to take a moment to express our strong support of the changes being proposed by the MTA for the b45 bus line. As you know, the MTA is proposing to reroute the westward traveling b45 off of Saint Johns Place at New York Avenue and place it on Sterling for two additional blocks until it gets to Rogers where it links up again with its current route.

Comment: Dear MTA/DOT~ I forgot to make one other comment about the B45 reroute. I would like to offer an alternative perspective as someone who lives on the corner on multiple bus lines. Having a city bus pass by your house is not a negative. Some see it as a positive. I acknowledge some of my neighbors have ?hypothetical? concerns regarding a bus traveling on the street where they live. However, I can assure those with these concerns that the new, energy efficient city buses are quieter than ever before and do not negatively impact our quality of life. In fact, I appreciate the B45 very much??..when it is not stuck. Thank you again for all your work at making our bus system better and lowering NYC emissions!

Comment: MTA has cited the need for this change because SJP is such a small, narrow street and having a eastward bound b45 AND a westward bound b45 causes delays and dangerous congestion. The buses are constantly getting stuck. As cited in the MTA proposed plan: ?Westbound, the B45 would be rerouted via Sterling Pl between New York Av and Rogers Av to avoid a narrow two-way section of St Johns Place? We are all here to attest that this finding of the MTA?s is accurate. SJP is much too narrow of a street to handle the westward and eastward bus traffic. We have gridlock on most nights, we?ve seen dangerous speeding by drivers trying to overtake the b45 and get past it. We?ve had our cars sideswiped, we seen fist fights break out because of this gridlock. So moving the west b45 off of SJP is a welcomed and much needed improvement by the MTA. This stretch of SJP is much too narrow for the two buses. Celeste Stern Lincoln Civic Block Association A Safer Saint Johns

Comment: PART 1/2: I am commenting on a proposed change to remove the Lorraine St/Hicks St stop on both Northbound and Southbound directions for the existing B61 line and proposed B27 & B81 lines. I would like to request that this proposal not go forward. The Lorraine St/Hicks St bus stops are very neccesary for the residents that live in the surrounding radius of these stops. For Southbound buses, it alleviates crowding at the Lorraine St/Colombia St stop that is right in front of many local businesses with limited sidewalk space for bus riders to wait in front of, and also typically has heavy parking traffic in the mornings due to these buisnesses having delivery truck dropoffs. An additional comment in favor of keeping these stops is that more elderly and accessibility/mobility impaired residents of the neighborhood positively benefit from having a less crowded stop that is more spacious and has a roofed seating area for waiting. For both Northbound and Southbound routes, it also provides residents of inner facing courtyard buildings, and residents that live in the buildings further inward from the Dead End street of Hicks St, to have bus stops that pick up and drop off at a convenient closeness to the entrance of that Dead End st, without having to walk roughly 2+ long blocks to either Colombia St or Henry St, during morning commutes or evening returns.

Comment: I oppose the elimination of the B38 at DeKalb and Ryerson and Lafayette and Grand and the elimination of the B52 bus stops down Greene Avenue this will greatly impact the community and especially the elderly people that live nearby that will have to walk further to catch the same bus the whole idea of the limited bus was so alleviate the traffic and now you?re alleviating more stops on the Local which will greatly impact the riders. Please reconsider this change.

Comment: Express bus service on the west end of Coney Island is needed. Even if there's low ridership, this doesn't cause additional traffic.. Why eliminate for the people who do use it? This is going to encourage people to drive. Eliminating this route does not actually help reach your goals. Sometimes the bus drives right past you, which is very angering. Needs to be correcting.

Comment: Part 2/2; Continued from Comment Submitted under Reference#02990996: These Lorraine St/Hicks St bus stops also provide an inadvertent, but equally important, street safety element as well; Where the slow down that is made by buses stopping at these stops aid in keeping this intersection, that is a non-traffic light and non-stop signed intersection, safer because when the bus needs to make it's stop at these stops, surrounding traffic slows down and other drivers don't speed past this intersection. On a different note, residents of this neighborhood had gone without the Southbound Lorraine St/Hicks St stop for the almost 3 year duration of the cleanup of the Ballfields, and have only now gotten back this neccesary bus stop. In a neighborhood where we residents struggle with access to convenient and reliable public transportation options, it would be very unjust and disheartening to further remove accessibility to the existing limited transportation options available, even if by just 1 less bus stop. I, like many other residents of the Red Hook neighborhood, would appreciate a through reconsideration and subsequent termination of the proposal to remove the Lorraine St/Hicks St bus stops.

Comment: The proposed redesign of the express bus system in south Brooklyn to Manhattan, which Bay Ridge residents utilize in lieu of an unreliable and slow R train, is appalling and completely unnecessary. Every time the MTA wants to make cuts they go right to express bus service. We pay the highest fare out of the entire city system and get the crap end of the stick because the service is not ?profitable?. Residents who utilize this service include elderly and handicapped, who are unable to get to an accessible station as well as residents who live a considerable walk away from a station. Please do not change and reduce our express bus service!

Comment: My concern is the removal/replacement of the Southbound B43 line two block over to the West on Albany. I use this the Brooklyn Avenue line frequently?often late at night?often carrying shopping; this bus is always filled with people, even as late as 11 pm. The new route would force me and other elderly people to walk 2 to 3 avenue blocks in the dark. During the day it is also a direct line to Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical garden?which is a god-send for our mental wellness. I cannot see the "improvement" this change would be for the community living in the area between Fulton Avenue on the North, Empire Avenue on the South, Troop Avenue to the East and Nostrand Avenue to the West. Please enlighten me.

Comment: I think this Bus Network Redesign is not a good idea. What about the elderly, disabled (people in wheel chairs, walkers or canes). This means that they would have to go to a bus stop before or after the stop they usually get on if it is removed. Also how is removing bus stops going to help with making a faster commute. This means that more people will be getting on the stops that are not removed so it will not make the trip faster. What would make a better idea is to ticket cars, trucks from double parking and/or parking in bus stops. What about adding more busses that would also be a good idea. Also the MTA wants everyone to use OMNI and some times it is out of order or people have to tap their card a few times before it registers. This Bus Network Redesign should not take effect.

Comment: I tried joining the zoom meeting in January and I could not get a connection. I ride the b52 and I am a senior with mobility issues , like many in my neighborhood. Change is not always good this is a disaster you need to train your drivers this past week there was construction on Greene avenue I waited for the 52 at grand along with another senior who was using a support cart to walk, the driver turned on Grand because of construction I was surprised since all the other buses were turning on Washington, I was able to get on the bus and he left the other passenger I asked him to wait and he said there is another bus behind. Unacceptable. You are also eliminating stops on the 38 and that affects the neighborhood as well.

I don't do trains, because of knee surgery. It's hard for me to walk up and down the stairs. Please keep the B20 bus active. My 2nd alternative is the B13 to Spring Creek than transfer to B20. That's the only way I could get home and to work. These are the Buses I used B20, B13, Q54. Don't forget I live in a 2 fare zone. Thank you

Comment:  Long story short I live in the Clinton Hill area where you have a proposal for the B 38 downtown and going back into Brooklyn to remove some stops that are in a highly populated and senior area. So you have a proposal to take out the Ryerson Street, Ryerson I think it's street stuff that's in between Classon Avenue and Washington Avenue, or actually between Classon and St. James Place and Uptown side removing Grand Street stuff. But you have over 3000 people plus students from the Pratt Institute that use these bus stops to get back and forth to home and to school. So why would you even consider taking those stops out?

Comment: Personally I think the B103 Should go to downtown brooklyn, even if it's how it is currently with most buses short-turning at Flatbush Junction. Even a bus every 15 minutes would provide some sort of redundant service with the R train. The B81 is mostly fine but I don't think it's enough.

Here's my idea:
Have it run from Kings Plz to Ave S, then turn up E 36 St to Quentin Rd and run across Quentin past Kings Hwy Station to Ave P and on Ave P to McDonald.
This would serve the transit drought currently around the Kings Hwy (F) stop as well.

The remaining part of the proposed express bus routes is that the BM8 should be its existing X28 and the BM38 should be the existing X38. I wanna file a false information statement to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority about the Brooklyn Bus Redesign Project.

Comment: Removing the B2 line that serves Marine Park that gives residents access to Kings Plaza shopping mall and the Kings Highway subway station would impede transportation access to an entire community, which already has limited resources to access these locations. Without this line, Marine Park residents would have to walk 7-10 or more blocks in any direction in order to connect to a different bus line, which are already overcrowded and out of the way. This community is already underserved and under privileged than ALL other communities in Brooklyn when it comes to public transportation.

Comment: For the proposed rerouting of the B13 bus, it would no longer travel through Ridgewood and Glendale and then down Cypress Hills Street to Brooklyn. Instead, it would use Cypress Ave on the Ridgewood/Brooklyn border, then head down Vermont Place and Highland Blvd to Jamaica Ave. This would supposedly provide desired access to the Ridgewood Reservoir, however, there are multiple problems with this plan. 1) The road prohibits all but passenger cars, likely due to the narrow width of the road. These signs are posted at the entrance to the park at Jamaica Ave and Highland Blvd. It may not be safe for regular bus traffic. 2) There are speed humps on Highland Blvd. These are prohibited along bus routes. It would be a bad idea to remove them. Installing speed cushions to facilitate bus travel would encourage truck traffic. 3) There is no room for the bus to pull over. The MTA?s plan is to provide a stop at the ?VERMONT PL/HIGHLAND PARK GREENWAY? but the road is one lane in each direction with guardrails lining each side along the entire length of Vermont Place. Installing a stop here would either require a costly redesign and destruction of parkland or have the bus come to a dead stop in the middle of the road backing up traffic. 4) It removes an entire line from the neighborhood of Liberty Park, which relies on this bus.

Comment: The b52 bus route change to Gates Avenue will make the area surrounding PS 56 very unsafe. The corner of Downing and Gates has long needed a stop sign or a traffic light and no amount of asking seems to get one on that corner. Now moving a major bus line onto an already crowded, narrow street with an unsafe school corner feels like a major accident waiting to happen, hopefully not involving one of our children! Keep the bus on Greene Avenue. It's a wider street with lots of traffic lights.

Comment: Eliminating the B2 bus line is a problem for the Marine Park area which serves a lot of seniors and numerous schools. It's a direct link to Kings Plaza and shopping on Flatbush Ave. The B31, B100 and B3 are already very busy lines as is the B2 especially during peak times. This will do nothing but create more dangerous over crowding. Also getting rid of the Ave V. And Gerritsen stop for the BM4. This is a highly used bus stop, more than Ave. U. This stop serves the many co-ops on Ave. V.

Comment: Regarding the proposed change to the B52 route - extending it further west on Gates. We believe this is poor choice . Gates Ave is already very crowded , especially at rush hour as vehicles regularly use it to bypass back ups on Atlantic Ave. Parking is already extremely difficult and the loss of even more spaces would be a real burden for those of us with handicaps and can no longer regularly use the subway. Greene ave is further from other transportation options so it would seem keeping the bus on its current route is the better option. Thank you

Seniors and handicap individuals will suffer the most. Snow or extreme heat makes walking to get to our homes so much more difficult. We need to have it easier when we are Seniors. This plan may be better for traffic or for bus driver but it is not better for people. Please do not make life harder. As Seniors we have many more problems,so please don?t make our bus routes one of them.

Comment: As a Community Board 13 board member, I urge you to reconsider the current redesign plan. Extending distances between bus stops and limiting service would pose enormous hardships to residents. The residents of community board 13 include seniors, students, hard working parents and individuals and those with physical disabilities. It would be unfair and cruel to remove and limit bus service when sufficient bus service is currently lacking. I echo the sentiments and concerns of my fellow board members and the residents. I hope our comments do not fall on deaf ears and MTA leadership make the necessary adjustments to address our serious concerns. Thank you.

Comment: consider that the average traffic  speed is 10 mph. Best on this, there should be no stops except at the terminals!  Bus stop balancing is wishful thinking and should not be done.

Comment: I'm opposed to spacing existing bus stops farther apart. Doing so will make it far more difficult for disabled and elderly riders to access the buses. The proposal suggests moving existing stops further apart will improve service, but in reality, people who move slowly will likely miss more busses, thus decreasing the quality of the service for those who need it most.

Comment: I feel like having the B53 will benefit riders as the B32 was a supplement to the B62 literally following it just on a different street. The B24 was also never really crowded in my experiences and I feel like combining the 2 would be great for the community

Comment: I am writing in support of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign. In particular, I'm in favor of bus stop consolidation in order to speed up buses. Buses spend as much as 25% of their journey time at stops, and some of the stops in New York are quite close together. I'm in support of bringing bus stop spacing to the industry standard. I trust that the MTA has consolidated stops in a way that maximizes ridership and improves service.

Comment: Sure, put elderly and the differently abled individuals at a higher risk by removing convinient stops. Removing this bus stops to save an minute from stopping will definitely change something, as if the people wont just crowd and balance out stop times at a different bus stop. Your problem isn?t too many stops, its not enough buses and new york city traffic is going to be messy no matter what. The amount of elderly and differnt abled people that use this bus stop might not be apparent to you, but it will create a huge inconvenience for us. Don?t just propose a change without asking for opinion of the people that will be directly impacted. Don?t be ageist and abelist.

Comment: Please reconsider the proposed plan to eliminate the B44 bus stop at the north west corner of Nostrand and Empire Blvd, and the B44 bus stop at the south west corner of Nostrand and Lefferts Avenue. The plan would generate a marked increase in the already overcrowded bus stop at B44 Nostrand Avenue and Sterling Street where there is a train station, bank, smoke shops, children traveling to and from IS61 and parishioners traveling to Saint Francis of Assisi Church. Please consider maintaining at least one of the planned bus stop eliminations as the area is over congested, and crime and garbage infested; the added traffic to Nostrand and Sterling Street will be counterproductive and generate more garbage, congestion and an even further reduction of any semblance of quality of life. Thank you for your consideration.

Comment: Under the proposed Brooklyn Bus Route Redesign all bus service to Tompkins and Lewis Avenues will be eliminated. The plan calls to shift the southbound B43 from Tompkins to Marcus Garvey and the northbound B15 from Lewis to Troop, in effect eliminating one of the few North-South bus routes in Bed-Stuy by merging the two. Crown Heights residents and businesses will also be impacted by moving the B43 from Brooklyn to Albany Avenue. This proposed change will dramatically increase the distance needed to access public transportation and eliminate service to two important and up-and-coming commercial corridors. As residents, business owners, commuters, and consumers we demand the maintenance of bus service to Tompkins and Lewis Avenues. We do need to improve bus service in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and in Brooklyn, but eliminating routes for the mirage of decreased wait times is not the change we need.

Comment: The moving of the B52 off Greene and onto Gates makes little sense. There are buses that run on Fulton and you?re close to the subway at Clinton-Washington already. The turn onto Washington will be a disaster as there is already a ton of traffic that backs up on Washington from Atlantic Avenue. This rerouting will more than likely make this a SLOWER route than the current one along Greene.

Comment: Hi Evan and Senna,

Please see below some feedback form our Pedestrian Unit regarding the B81:

The new B81 routing has the bus making complicated turns through the complex intersection of Coney Island Ave and Cortelyou Rd.
 
We installed a SIP here several years ago and did all that we could to improve the intersection, however it still remains as a primary intersection of community concern. We receive multiple ARTs cases every year. Introducing bus turns through the middle crosswalk will not improve that and may cause further issues.

Could the EB/WB bus be routed up Coney Islands Ave to Ave C? This would maintain operations at Cortelyou “as is”.

Maybe even extend it back to Sunset Park making stops at 9th Avenue (D Transfer), 5th Av, 3rd Av & 1st Av all while shortening the B35 Local back to McDonald Avenue.

Comment: This new plan would remove a stop in front of Coney Island Hospital now known as South Brooklyn Health. You are removing a mode of public transportation from a place of need and have not included any replacement whether a shuttle or another route the B4 can take that includes Coney Island Hospital. This is a disservice to the community who relies on public transportation to get to the hospital and the fact that no one thought about this is negligent to the public?s health and needs.

B103:
Seniors have complained about the distance from Ave H/E56th st and E80th/Flatlands – asked if a stop can be added in between. It’s a long walk for seniors who get off at either stop
Adding a stop at the E105th train stop
Extending the route to Gateway mall so residents don’t have to take 3 buses.

Comment: Just as I need my local bus service most, as a senior with mobility issues, my key routes and stops are apparently about to disappear. I live on Bond between Wyckoff and Bergen, and I count on the B65 to get me to Fulton Street so I can transfer to a bus to Montague Street for shopping and doctors. That part of the route is on the chopping block. So maybe I stagger up to Atlantic to get the B63. But it would skip the stop at Bond Street. I tire easily and this makes it impractical. You may be speeding up bus service, but how does that help me if it leaves me standing there? Please reconsider these changes. Where will the Court Street and Smith Street buses connect with other routes? One thing I have never understood is the long-ago cancellation of the B50 service from downtown Brooklyn to downtown Manhattan. Those of us who cannot handle subway stairs have been severely inconvenienced for a long time.

I personally have also relied on this bus line for over 10 years. So have my friends and loved ones. I am writing to implore you to PLEASE KEEP these stops. My elderly neighbors in this area rely on the close proximity of these bus stops to get where they need to go when they are struggling with mobility issues. It is very, very important for the safety and functionality of my community that we keep them. Thank you.

Comment: My residence is Gates btw Washington & St James - I oppose rerouting the B52 to Gates for the following reasons - 1) My partner and I have spent the last 3 years re-introducing wild bird populations to block. Where there were no birds, there is now a healthy population of sparrows, swallows and woodpeckers. A bus line will displace them. 2-I have children and live in a ground floor duplex - the noise is already a distraction and the air quality needs constant monitoring (my son and I both have asthma). 3-Like many professionals, many of my neighbors and myself are remote workers. The disruption of a bus on our otherwise quiet street would force many of us to find workspace elsewhere.The preceding comments will be forwarded to our respective reps in govt.

Comment: Good afternoon, it is our opinion that the proposal to eliminate the B2 bus route would be a travesty. If that happens, the only other option to get to the train station, the mall, doctors? offices, and other places, would be the B100 which an extremely long walk to get to. In addition, the B100 usually skips some stops due to the fact that the bus quickly fills up with school children. This would mean standing and waiting possibly in cold, snowy, raining weather for the next bus. For for us elderly people, giving our age and health issues, it would be physically challenging and emotionally depressing. We hope you reconsider and keep our B2 route. Thank you for your consideration. Mr & Mrs William and Concetta O?Keefe

Comment: The proposal to eliminate bus routes along Lewis avenue would have an EXTREMELY detrimental effect on the neighborhood. It is already underserved, and taking away this route would only leave it worse. It would be less safe, more inconvenient, and bad for the economical development of the neighborhood. It highlights the wealth disparity in the city, as only people who can afford taxis or own a car would be the ones not impacted. I wish I could throw a soggy banana at the person who came up with this idea.

Comment: Re: the proposal to remove these stops on the B48 route - WASHINGTON AV/SULLIVAN PL Remove Removed to improve speed & reliability Removing these NB and SB stops won't do much to improve speed and reliability, especially during rush hour. I walk through this intersection every day. On days when I am commuting to the office, I have to cross Empire Boulevard to get to the Prospect Park train station. The segment of Washington Avenue between Empire Boulevard and Eastern Parkway is always congested during rush hour due to traffic aside from the bus. There are people commuting in personal vehicles and there are school buses. (There are three public schools alone by the President Street and Classon Avenue stop.) Washington Avenue only has one lane on the northbound side and one lane on the southbound side. There is no place for traffic to go. The B48 is going to get stuck in traffic during AM rush hour regardless. (On a side note, there is construction on Empire Boulevard between Washington Avenue and Franklin Avenue that is also causing congestion.) I am aware that the SB Washington Avenue and Sullivan Place stop was temporarily discontinued due to construction of a new building at that intersection. I was looking forward to having that stop restored once the building is completed as I live on Sullivan.

Comment: Chair Lieber:
We write today to express the concerns of older adults in my district regarding some proposed
changes to the MTA’s bus network as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign plan. While
we applaud your effort to make our borough’s bus network more efficient, we are concerned that
some proposals will unintentionally leave many of my constituents, particularly older adults,
without necessary transit options.
According to the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign draft plan released on December 1, 2022, a
number of changes are planned for both the B38 and B52 routes, both of which are well used by
a number of older adults in Clinton Hill. As of now, the proposal would remove the Limited bus
service for the B38 route and remove a handful of bus stops, including those at Lafayette
Ave/Grand Ave (Eastbound) and Dekalb Ave/Ryerson Ave (Westbound). Additionally, the
proposal calls for discontinuing service of the B52 route along Greene Avenue and keeping
service on Gates Avenue.
Simply put, these proposals jeopardize the transit options for many older adults living in nearby
Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs) like Pratt Towers, St. James Towers, and
Ryerson Towers. Given the unreliability of existing accessible transportation programs like
Access-A-Ride, many older adults in Clinton Hill rely on both the B38 and B52 routes to get to
their destinations, which include everything from local small businesses to medical facilities. We
must ensure that we empower able-bodied older adults to utilize public transit options, and
removing crucial bus stops disconnects this population from accessing their most vital needs.
We urge you to reconsider removing the two bus stops at Lafayette Ave/Grand Ave (Eastbound)
and Dekalb Ave/Ryerson Ave (Westbound) in addition to keeping the B52 route along Greene
Avenue. Additionally, we request that you work with our office to co-host a meeting with the residents of Pratt Towers, Ryerson Towers, and St. James Towers to discuss the proposed
changes directly with residents.
If you would like to discuss this matter further, you may reach out to my office by calling
718-260-9191 or via email at [email protected]. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely

Comment: I am a a life long resident of 50th street between 4th and 5th avenue. We have a bus stop for the B11 on 50th and 4th. This route needs to be changed for various reasons. Our block is very narrow and buses get stuck every day either due to double parked cats that are unloading or cars parked away from curb. In addition we are the first right that FDNY uses to respond to emergencies. There have been many incidents they got stuck behind the bus taking away crucial minutes. Our homes facade also have cracked due to heavy traffic from bus and trucks who use block to deliver on 5th. This block was supposed to be a temporary re route and somehow became permanent. Please reroute it as our block is not appropriate for bus.

Comment: Removing the B32 and making these changes to the B62 will force families in the North Greenpoint neighborhood to hike to McGuinness to catch buses to school/work when they can currently do so on Franklin and Manhattan Ave. This part of the neighborhood is rapidly increasing in density and I don't understand how this plan will provide better, not worse, service for those families. Local students will have longer walks to a much busier (and dangerous) road to catch buses to schools.

Comment: Concerned about the express busses that go to Coney Island- X28 and X38- portion after Cropsey ave bridge is eliminated, forcing people to walk over a bridge. Also, local service is being cut which will make it harder to access the express bus.

Comment: Hello, I noticed the draft removes the B63 from 36 street 5th avenue on the north and south side, I think this is a mistake because 1. customers who may need a train connection on 36th and 4th may be further away from it. 2. a school is being built there so there is more expected people traffic. Please reconsider removing the 36 street 5th avenue bus stops. Thank you. .PS: Good job on the other routes.

Comment: I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed changes to the B61 bus line, specifically the removal of stops near the three public schools at the Greenwood cemetery stop. This bus serves students attending those three schools, who will have no other transportation options to get to school, as there is no subway station nearby. Those schools include MS442, K280 and the BUGS charter school. The B61 bus is a vital resource for these students, and removing these stops would have a significant negative impact on their ability to get to and from school. I urge the MTA to reconsider these proposed changes and to consider the needs and safety of the students who rely on the B61 bus to get to school.

Please creat this bus route. However, I hear that bus stops will be eliminated and we will have further to walk. Do NOT do this many people who are seniors take the bus we cannot walk further to the bus. I take my mother in a wheel chair up 7th ave in Park Slope do not take away any stops! Also on 5th avenu. The reason why one takes the bus instead of the subway is because there is less walking. Taking away bus fares or letting peopl pay there fare after they sit down would be a better way to increase bus times.

Comment: I've seen some of the draft proposals, one that I & probably many others have a concern with is the B103 being discontinued north of "The Junction"; meaning no service between Tillary St & "The Junction". I use this route coming from Downtown Brooklyn where I work & it's useful, others would work. I, like many others ask to please not discontinue the B103 north of "The Junction". Another proposal I am not in-favor is the B68 being discontinued between Brighton Beach & Stillwell Av-subway terminal. When I work down in Coney Island; mainly during the summer & the F isn't running past Church Av, I use the B68 as an alternate route; albeit long, it should stay running to/from Stillwell Av-subway terminal The one proposal I am in favor of is the newly proposed B55-SBS to/from JFK (via Church Av/New Lots Av/Linden Blvd).

Comment: People in the neighborhood are increasingly using the bus. Used to own cars. B4 can take a really long time. Sometimes the bus skips customers. It has happened to her many times and has happened to people she knows. Someone missed a job interview because the bus was late. The reliability is bad and the frequency is low. Typically takes it to 20th Ave.

Comment: Why do the middle class neighborhoods always get screwed. How can you cut a bus line that is essential to the neighborhood. My parents are older and need the b2 to get to the doctors and the mall. They would have to take 2 -3 buses just for every day appointments. What is wrong with you people. How about you reevaluate how the mta is ran. Ridiculous. And then you wonder why people are leaving New York in droves.

Comment: I am writing to express my grave concern for the proposed route change/redesign of the B52 local bus route along Gates Avenue. I literally cannot think of a worse thing that could happen to Gates Avenue between Classon and Washington Avenues. I have lived in the neighborhood for over 15 years, and have watched as this stretch of road has gone from being relatively peaceful and quiet to a noisy, overcrowded, traffic choked, trash filled mess. The current level of congestion--cars, school buses (which clog the road every weekday morning already) double parked delivery trucks, delivery bikes, Con Ed, city maintenance and garbage trucks--is already untenable, and adding a bus route will make a difficult situation virtually impossible. It will add additional noise, pollution, traffic, and reduce parking spaces that are already in very short supply. Additionally, this neighborhood is almost all residential, whereas the current B52 route along Greene services numerous restaurants, coffee shops, bars and other retail establishments. So, I ask you to please reconsider this plan--the Gates Ave. neighborhood will be impacted in an extremely negative way, and this proposed redesign will go a long way towards destroying the character and spirit of this historic Clinton Hill area. Thank you.

Comment: Hi. I belong to the Bay 13/16th Avenue Neighbors Group. I recently became aware of the MTA's intention to reduce X28/X38 express bus service. This would have a significant impact on myself, my family, and our neighbors along the express line. The express bus is our primary mode of transportation for entering the city. Our local MTA bus and subway system is insufficient to get us to Manhattan because it is prone to crowding and delays. We vehemently oppose any cuts or restrictions to the X28/X38 express bus. Thank you for your time and consideration on this issue.

Comment: The B41 service reductions are disappointing. They route is constantly delayed, making any meaningful travel planning impossible. I have to leave my apartment 15min earlier when taking the bus just to make up for irregular service or unknowns along the way. I never get to my destination on time (or on MTA scheduled time). Flatbush Ave needs a dedicated bus lane and the existing service intervals, not longer wait times between buses. If ridership data shows decreased usage during the day and at night, that is because nobody ever knows when the bus will actually show up and abandons their plans to take the Q instead (or walk).

Comment: The Bay Ridge Center, a non-profit, community-based organization serving older adults, is moving shortly from 4th Avenue and Ovington to 15 Bay Ridge Avenue. We anticipate serving between 250 and 300 older adults daily in the new location. The change in the bus route would make it difficult for our members to get from their busses or subway stop on 4th Avenue to the new Center. The change in route will require our members to have to walk several blocks then to our new location. While we appreciate the need to make improvements in the transportation system, this is not an improvement for our members. Given that we have members with walkers, canes and other assistive devices, this change will harm the older adults in Bay Ridge. The NYC Department for the Aging reported that there is a need to improve the capacity of older adult centers by 75% to meet the 45% growth in older adults by 2030. Our new center will help achieve that growth in Bay Ridge. However, the proposed change in bus route will hamper our ability to serve the widest population of older adults. We sincerely appreciate your consideration. If you have any questions, please don?t hesitate to contact David Dring at 718.748.0650 ext 117 or via email: [email protected]. Thank you!

Comment: Eliminating the B2 route is a very bad idea. If eliminated it makes the already very crowded B100 even worse during the mor ing rush. The B2 provides a connection to the neighborhoods between Kings Plaza and the Kings Highway train station that the B100 alone cannot provide.

This route would serve the Canarsie Plaza Shopping Mall on Avenue D plus other unserved areas of East New York and Canarsie.

Comment: I am writing to strongly oppose the changes being discussed for the B52 bus. As a resident of Gates Avenue raising a small child I am extremely weary of the proposed changes. There will be an increase in the fumes being created by these buses, on an already busy street. Moreover, the danger that the buses will pose to the school our block cannot be overstated. This is a bad idea and I hope you will reconsider. Thank you.

Comment: I have a question about the B68 rerouting to Kingsborough College: Where would B68 buses stop at the Brighton Beach station? Northbound B68 buses currently stop on Coney Island Avenue, after the turn from Brighton Beach Avenue. The stop was put in a few years ago to separate B68 and B1 traffic at the very busy stop on Brighton Beach Avenue at Coney Island Avenue. The rerouted northbound B68 buses could still stop there, but we would be forcing passengers transferring to the subway to cross Coney Island Avenue; right now there is probably little to no transferring between northbound B68 buses and the subway at this location, but that would change drastically. Southbound, a new B68 stop would have to be created on the south curb of Brighton Beach Avenue east of Coney Island Avenue; again, this would require people transferring from the subway to cross Coney Island Avenue, and does the B1 stop (a VERY busy stop right outside a subway stairway) move there as well so both routes are in the same stand? (And remember, currently B1 service is operated with articulated buses.)

I also suggest checking with Kingsborough College officials as to their enrollment plans. They went online-only (except for labs and such) when the pandemic hit, and as far as I know they still offer an extensive array of online courses. When we did our annual traffic check out there last year, we were shocked at how few people were riding our buses. When we canvassed the school to determine their dismissal plans for September, we were told that the usual number of students would be attending, but they were silent as to how many would actually be on the campus on a given day.

Coney Island trips replaced the X29, and it’s always been a dud, so the reduction is fine. Previously was done through a subsidy by the state, which I believe we no longer have.

Comment: I am a NYS government employee living in Bath Beach that depends on the X28 service both on weekdays and weekends. We waited long to have the X28 service on the weekend and to lose that entirely would be a big hit to riders. Myself and my friends and family in Bath Beach area depend on the X28 more than ever to go to work, school and for events given the increase in crime on the Subways.

Comment: I've been commuting on the B62 for over 20 years to work. I board on Wythe Ave & Keap Street and ride to (28 Street/QEENS PLZ S.). i connect to the Q32 going over the 59th street bridge. The New B62 Limited will NOT be stopping at Wythe & Keap Street. I'd have to walk to Classon/Flushing, It also won't stopping at (28 Street/QUEENS PLZ S) to connect to the Q32. I'd have to get off at 21st/Queens Plaza North and walk 5 to 6 blocks to connect with my Manhattan bus. In bad weather this will be impossible since I have health issues. There are so many buses and trains to connect to at the current last stop (28 street/QEENS PLZ S.) I don't understand how that stop is being removed. How is it that a BROOKLYN bus has 17 stops in BROOKLYN and 30 in QUEENS? Is not a BROOKLYN BUS? So there is no Williamsburg bus line anymore? This new bus route does not work for me. Most people on the B62 route have been taking this bus for over 30 years and are seniors. This is a HUGE inconvenience for us. Shopping downtown Brooklyn and in Greenpoint won't be possible for us anymore. I'm trying to figure out a way to get work now and it just seems impossible. I'm extremely stressed about it. Have you considered a B62 and a B62 Limited? Please consider keeping more stops between (BOERUM PL/SCHERMERHORN ST) AND (MCGUINNESS BL/GREENPOINT AVE) and also (28 ST/QUEENS PLZ S) Thank you

Comment: I am a senior citizen who no longer feels safe traveling on the subway alone. My express bus stops outside my building and I take it to appointments in the city at MSK. As it is, sometimes the bus does not come when it supposed to come but now you want to eliminate my stop and have buses terminate downtown. I am a retired widow who cannot afford to take car service to doctor appointments, not can I walk down subway steps the way that I used to. I am a target for criminals and I need a bus that is available and dependable to take me into manhattan. Since the pandemic I have noticed that the bus has gotten much more crowded and I believe ridership is up. Please keep my bus stop on 97th St and Shore Road and keep my bus running.

Comment: Re routing the B45 to Sterling Place from New York Ave is problematic . This is also a narrow street. In addition Sterling Place between Nostrand and  Rogers has several medical buildings in addition to a day care center. This will contribute to traffic blockages. Also has a study been conducted to assess the potential structural damage to the brownstone homes on Sterling between New York and Nostrand ?

East 16th and Sheepshead Bay Rd stop on the B49 is always busy. Has potential to increase traffic. Sees no value in the switch. Does not seem efficient, useful, or valuable in anyway.

Comment: This plan still does not have a local bus route to travel through the Hugh L Carey tunnel from Red Hook to Fulton Center. Now people take the subway and transfer etc etc. What is the point when people in Red Hook could have this great route? Relying on a bus that goes to F train is not sufficient. Congestion is no good for these routes and upcoming BQE construction will exacerbate this. Be creative! Be bold!

Comment: The proposed redesign of the B49 adds to the crowds coming down from the train at the Brighton Beach Ave/Coney Island Ave location and now makes them all have to wait for the B88 while while ignoring the need on Sheepshead Bay Road. The proposed new route will add another bus to Avenue Z - which will have more traffic with the new hospital garage by Ocean Parkway

Comment: The proposed re-routing for the B45 will be detrimental to the residents and businesses on Sterling Place between New York Ave and Rogers Avenue. The infrastructure is not able to withstand the additional and continued service of the B45 bus route. It will create a choke point between Nostrand and Rogers Ave. The traffic that already exist creates hazards for cyclists. There is an active garage that services the neighborhood as well as a dialysis center that provides ambulance service. In addition, every weekday from 2-5 pm the street is flooded with double parked cars who need to pick their children from daycare.

Comment: Hello, The proposed re-routing for the B45 will be detrimental to the residents and businesses on Sterling Place between New York Ave and Rogers Avenue. The infrastructure is not able to withstand the additional and continued service of the B45 bus route. It will create a choke point between Nostrand and Rogers Ave. The traffic that already exist creates hazards for cyclists. There is an active garage that services the neighborhood as well as a dialysis center that provides ambulance service. In addition, every weekday from 2-5 pm the street is flooded with double parked cars who need to pick their children from daycare. Recommendation for B45 re-route: Keep West and East bound bus stops on St. John Place and New York Ave. Keep West and East bound bus stop on St. John?s Place and Nostrand Ave. Re- route B45 to turn south on Nostrand Ave then east on Lincoln Place to turn north on New York Ave to return to it eastbound route on St. John Place. The caveat with this proposal to avoid heavy traffic on Eastern Parkway would be to change traffic eastbound on Lincoln Place between Nostrand and New York Ave. This will allow the B45 turn east on Lincoln Place. The other proposal would be to have the B45 turn south on Nostrand Ave, east on Eastern Parkway, north on New York Ave, to return to its eastbound route on St. Johns Place. Thank you Delores Hutchinson

Comment: Myself plus around 20-30 people clock out of work at 12am from New York Presbyterian Brooklyn methodist Hospital. Your bues arrive and pull off every night with no passengers on board from this stop.at this point it's done intentionally and this need to stop. Please make a change for the 12:00am B67 to wait until 12:10am or to just arrive at 12:10am. This change should allow Nyp hospital employees to clock out and make it to the bus stop and bring in the money you are missing out on because of unreasonable drivers who don't believe there job is to safety get people to where they need to go.

Comment: I would like to comment that moving the B-52 bus to Gates Avenue is not a good idea. Gates Avenue is not wide enough to support a bus lane there are schools on gate Avenue and there are double parked cars all the time Green Avenue is much wider and has much more clear ways for the buses to drive around double park cars gates Avenue is a log jam on a good day And I know because I live there please don?t move the B 52 bus over to Gates Avenue. Thank you.

Comment: I ride the BM4. I am very upset to see the redesign of the downtown trip. Moving the inbound bus to Water Street is horrible. There are zero connections to the trains from there. Church Street is much more of a centralized location and transferable. I am also very upset to see you are proposing to take away the pick up and drop off at Avenue V and Gerritsen. Many people get on that stop. The Avenue U location is terrible in a store parking lot and no bus shelter. If drivers had supervision at their terminal points maybe, just maybe, they would leave on time. The trip over the Gowanus is also a daily delay with the express lanes merging to one for no reason. The ride on Church Street is also a daily delay with the bus lane constantly blocked. Rectifying these issues would save a tremendous amount of time on the commute.

Comment: I am sending this note to firmly express my opposition to the rerouting of the B52 bus along Gates avenue. When I moved to the neighborhood I viewed a number of homes and purposely selected a home that was not along a bus route.That was an integral part of my purchase decision. I did not want to deal with the noise, the fumes, the traffic and the difficulty it adds to parking, not to mention the people who gather in front of homes while they wait for a bus. It was my choice to avoid that and if the bus is moved to Gates Ave in my neighborhood that choice is taken away from me. Please think about the lives you will be changing if you were to enact this route change. A bus traveling along Gates Ave will change my way of living. A bus stop on Gates and Grand will change the make up and atmosphere of my block. I enjoy my brownstone neighborhood and I chose my block because of it?s neighborly feel. Adding a bus makes it like any other street across the city. So much so that if it goes through I would have to seriously consider moving. I do not want to raise my daughter with a bus driving by her house and people standing on the corner waiting for one. Not judging those that due but I made a choice to avoid that and I very much want it to stay that way. I am more than happy to voice this position to anyone who wishes to hear it, if it will help with this issue. Best regards, Derrick Hostler

Comment: Living in Bay Ridge is a hard enough commute as it is. When the one train that comes to our neighborhood stops running, we depend on those buses. They are also heavily used by students traveling to Fort Hamilton and Telecommunications, the two high schools in the neighborhood. A lot of senior citizens and disabled populations also use bussing because of the lack of access to the R train and the lack of accountability of it as well. Please reconsider rerouting our bus service.

Comment: I oppose the replacement of the B49 with the B68 in serving Kingsborough Community College. As an evening faculty member, both myself and many of my students rely on the B49 to get home during evening weekday hours. The B49 currently serves Kingsborough every 15 minutes, but under the proposed schedule the B68 would only stop there every 23 minutes. Furthermore, cutting the B49 from Kingsborough eliminates a one-seat ride east of the B/Q line.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Retain existing routing, Extended travel times, Frequency, Service Type
Comment: Termination of Limited B38 buses would be terrible for the residents of Bushwick and Bedstuy who are employed in downtown Brooklyn. We rely on the faster service to get to our jobs on time, especially given the traffic and congestion ever present on Dekalb and Fulton Avenue. The unlimited buses double the time it takes to get to downtown Brooklyn. Without an increase in spacing between stops, terminating the Limited B38 service would only add more traffic to the already congested and narrow route. Termination without extending distances between stops and/or doubling the frequency of b38 arrivals will yield incredibly inconvenient results for residents and drivers alike. If anything, more B38 limited buses should replace unlimited b38 buses. If the goal is to improve the mta bus system, making cuts to any route shouldn?t even be an option. Brooklyn needs MORE buses, MORE routes and FASTER service. Funds should not be spent on Manhattan buses given that Manhattan has a train station on every block. Manhattan needs accessible subway stations. When it comes to Bus Services, focus should be on outer boroughs where bus service is highly relied upon due to the lack of train routes.

Comment: I understand how theoretically reducing turns on to Greene Ave seems like a good idea, but the impact on the population that takes it is tremendous, I recommend a closer study of the ridership before turning the B52 on Washington Ave/Fulton which is already heavily traffic'd.

Comment: For some reason Remix doesn't have the BM bus lines, many of which run along the Prospect Expressway to the Hugh Carey Tunnel. Please reroute some of them along Prospect Avenue, adding stops in Windsor Terrace and South Slope. Prospect Avenue is a great street for buses -- it is wide and has low traffic and provides easy access to the Hugh Carey Tunnel. For those people who are served by the F/G trains, there is no single seat commute to downtown Manhattan, and it is unacceptable that we have to experience the noise and pollution from these buses going past our homes without being able to access them. I can literally see them go by from my apartment on 18th & PPW and it drives me nuts every time.

Comment: Ending the B68 here is a missed opportunity to provide better service to Windsor Terrace, where these draft plans have cut service substantially. Please connect this line to the B70 to make one long line. This will provide a much-needed connection between Windsor Terrace and Sunset Park and Bay Ridge. There are many people who currently commute from Bay Ridge to the Prospect Park West corridor who need better transit options, and this would serve as a valuable link between Windsor Terrace and Sunset Park, which have no transit link between them in spite of the fact that they are adjacent.

The 16th street stop should be restored in both directions and the 18th street stop on the Midwood-Red Hook should be restored. Conversely, there is no need for a stop between 12th an 13th streets. There is nothing there, not even a park entrance.

Comment: I don't understand why the MTA thinks this new Bus Network Redesign Initiative is a good idea. What about disabled people and the elderly that can't walk a few extra blocks to catch a bus. I know there is even a redesign for some Express Bus stops being taken away. Leave the bus stops as they are. Taking away bus stops is not going to improve service. If the MTA takes away bus stops that just means more people will be getting off and on at those stops rather than the ones they take away. Also what needs to be done is stopping truck and cars from double parking and parking in bus stops. The MTA also needs to add more busses on certain routes. There have been times that I have waited for the B8 and the B64 for up to 1 hour on either of these 2 routes.

Comment: Re: Objection to the B52 rerouting to Gates Avenue from Greene Avenue I strongly object to the B52 bus being rerouted to run on Gates Avenue (between Classon and Washington Aves). This proposed plan would have the B52 run on a section of Gates Avenue that is primarily residential. Gates is a very narrow, two-way street that is often crowded with double-parked cars and delivery trucks and is already unsafe for bicyclists. The traffic jams and ensuing horn honking are already deafening at the beginning and end of the school day, and during rush hour at the end of the day. I shudder to think what it would sound like should buses be added to this already toxic mix of air and noise pollution. This section of Gates has a public school at Downing and another at Waverly, and at least two large day-care businesses. Greene Avenue, where the B52 currently runs is wider, has more commercial enterprises, and several senior living centers whose residents use the bus. Thanks you.

Comment: Please keep B2 as an option for Marine Park because of the number of students and commuters taking the B100 can easily get overcrowded between all of the school's in the area. It is also a valuable bus line for families connecting from the train to get directly to Marine Park business with minimal transfers when traveling with strollers and wheelchairs.

Comment: Good evening, In speaking with B49 riders to Kingsborough Community College, changing the route and creating new connections would cause riders to travel blocks by foot to access their bus ride and prepare for longer travel time. Kingsborough students coming to us from Central Brooklyn are already traveling well over an hour to attend classes. The route change could add another 20-30 minutes to that commute as they make another transfer point. Our students, faculty and staff also rely on limited-service buses, which are also slated to be eliminated. This would add another ten to 30 minutes to a commute, depending on where the rider embarks. In addition, our Manhattan Beach neighbors residing, living along Oriental Boulevard, West End Avenue, Shore Boulevard and parts of Emmons Avenue, will no longer have direct access to Sheepshead Bay. This could have a dire impact on the local businesses they frequent. Kingsborough is Brooklyn?s only community college. In this tough economic climate adult learners and high schoolers are being challenged to complete their education and advance to institutions of higher education. We are an affordable option for many to succeed at their educational goals. Transportation should not be another hurdle to achieving their goals. We encourage you to take that into consideration and reconsider your proposed changes. This concludes my comments. Respectfully, Dr. Claudia V. Schrader President

Comment: Removing stops on the B63 in Park Slope and Sunset Park will cause great inconvenience and hardship to those of us who ride the bus. As a senior citizen who lives in 23rd St between 4th and 5th Ave, I use the bus frequently, often carrying bulky packages and groceries. Eliminating stops makes my life and the lives of seniors and people who depend on the bus more difficult by making them walk several blocks further. Stops on this line were already cut several years ago. Please do not cut any more stops on the B63 between Park Slope and 45th Street. This is a very bad idea.

Elaine Weinstein: ahh that is helpful. This change will relieve the enormous congestion we currently experience. In addition there will be a middle school opening and this will relieve parents'  concern regarding student safety. Thank you.

Comment: The re-design of the Brooklyn bus routes reduces service to the Greenwood Heights/South Slope area. This area has grown in population as empty lots and row houses have been replaced with 5-6 story apartments buildings. My block of 20th Street between 6th and 7th Aves. alone has added seven apartment buildings in the last 10 years. Yet the MTA is proposing to terminate the B61 bus line at 15th St. and PPW instead of letting it continue to 19th St. and 8th Ave. Since there's a very convenient shopping hub at 9th St. and 5th Ave. I am used to catching the B61 there and riding it all the way to 19th St. from where I can easily walk home even with shopping bags or a cart. The B61 buses run 11-12 minutes apart throughout the day so they're fairly reliable. If the tail end of this route is eliminated, I am forced to switch to the B69 or B67 at 7th Ave. These run 22-23 minutes apart midday, not good if I've got ice cream melting in my bag. Also they tend to run way off schedule after 2 pm when they load up with kids from all the schools along 7th Ave. Substituting the B81 for the B61 is no good for me either because I would still have to switch to the B67 or B69 at 7th Ave. There's just not enough crosstown bus service in Park Slope since both the B71 and the old Prospect Ave. bus were eliminated. I would like to see the 8th Ave. and 19th St. stop restored on the B61 or the B81.

I am against the MTA decision to stop running the express buses down to Seagate. Lots of people living in this area are taking express buses to go to work and on weekends. If you will stop the express bus service in our area, I consider it as discrimination against people living in that big neighborhood.

Comment: The commute from Mill Basin to the college will now require me to take three buses. Currently I am able to use B100/B3 to Ocean Ave. then transfer to the B49 directly to the college (approx. 1 hour commute). I am sure the ride with three buses will be longer with the proposed plan (B100/B3 to B49 to B68) How long is that commute?

Comment: Marine park is a two fare zone, our buses take us to the train stations. B2 is one of the lines that transports many residents to the kingshighway train station. Is the city not trying to get more people to use public transport so why are you taking buses away and people will have to Uber or other car service to get to train, kinda defeats the purpose of eliminating traffic.

Comment: Please do not reverse the direction of the buses on Halsey Street between Nostrand and Bedford Avenues. The intersection at Arlington Place is dangerous for pedestrians and electric bike users! The visibility and speed are of serious concern here. Also the turns at Nostrand and Fulton are illogical. Adding more buses at Bedford Avenue is an impossible scenario! There is already a deadly traffic problem there and the pedestrian population is ever-increasing along Bedford now that the subway entrance has been re-opened. The buses are a threat to pedestrians and are adding to the congested highway along Bedford Avenue.

Comment: It would be greatly detrimental to us, the Bed-Stuy community of commuters, residents, and business owners, to reroute the B15 and B43 from their current routes on Lewis/Tompkins respectively. I personally rely on these buses to get to work. Please reconsider the plan to shift these southbound Busses. Thank you.

Comment: On 2/5 Sunday morning from 7:15 to 8:05 am, we've been waiting for B16 at Shore Road & 97th Street for 45 minutes! It was freezing cold morning, it felt like under 32 degrees with the wind. We need to go to a Dr. appointment. There are many seniors like us who rely on B16 and B37 (even have less service) to go to doctors and move around. Our friends experienced a similar situation recently. Not only on weekends, weekday mornings have delays very frequently, the waiting time is too long! This is very inconvenient for seniors. We decided to report it and really hope MTA provide more services on B16 (and B37). Thank you for your attention.

Comment: In regards to proposed changes to express buses - one of the only reasons many of us still living in Brooklyn and Bay ridge specifically - key to our ability to safely commute to work and changes proposed do not appear to provide material costs savings while causing extensive inconvenience to highest tax $$ tax payers ; will also impact properly values alreasy on the down curve both with recession looming as well as extensive and unfair tax hikes. Please reconsider any disruptive changes to our presious express bus service.

Comment: I use the b48 bud daily and it provides a vital connection between crown heights and Williamsburg/greenpoint that is other wise extremely inaccessible via public transit. Eliminating or redirecting this line would cause so many residents to have to seek alternate routes and would make it even more difficult for residents of south and north Brooklyn to reach the other.

Comment: Re: the proposed changes for the B1 bus, please look at ridership data for the 13th Avenue/86 Street stop, which is being marked for elimination. 13th Avenue is the main street in Dyker Heights. Eliminating that stop is senseless. If a stop must be eliminated, 12th Avenue and 14th Avenue are much lighter used. Please remove the nonsensical idea of eliminating the 13th Avenue stop from the proposed plan.

Comment: For the redesigned B16, instead of eliminating the 91 St stop southbound, I'd like to suggest eliminating the Narrows Av stop instead and moving the 91 St stop from the southern corner of 91 St to the northern corner. There is a major senior center at the north corner of 91st St -- this is one of the most-used stops on the entire B16 line -- and eliminating that stop will be catastrophic for those residents, most of whom are elderly or disabled. Moving the stop to the northern corner will improve their access. It's the Narrows Avenue stop that is seldom used. Please review the ridership data for both stops and change this decision accordingly.

Comment: Please reconsider the idea to eliminate the Oliver St stop in the redesign of the X27/X37 (now BM7/BM37). This stop has very high ridership. Eliminating this stop will only slow down service at the adjacent Ridge Blvd and 91 St stops and needlessly inconvenience hundreds of people daily. Review the ridership numbers for Oliver St and eliminate a less-used stop than this one, please.

Comment: Re: reduction of span on the redesigned X27 (now BM7). Under the proposed plan, buses will be curtailed to stop running at 4:00 pm on weekdays. The span should be expanded, not reduced. There is demand in Bay Ridge for inbound express bus service as late as 9 pm if not even later. The subways are unsafe and deteriorating and many residents along Shore Road would much prefer to take an express bus than the R train. If the evening service was offered, it would be used and probably used well. Many buses are sent back into Manhattan without passengers at this hour anyway, which is a waste of money.

Comment: Re: the service area for the revised X27 and X28 (now BM7 and BM8). Curtailing service at Thomas St during rush hours is not acceptable. The infrequent M55 bus and a transfer to the BM7/8 is not an acceptable alternative for people who work between 14 St and Thomas St. The SIM7, SIM9 and SIM33 buses were extended to 14 St in the Staten Island redesign and that arrangement is working well; I suggest doing the same for the BM7 and BM8.

Comment: I am against the elimination of the b2 bus route. Marine Park is already limited in public transportation options. Making all of Marine Park rely on one bus line , the b100, to serve to and from the kings highway train station would not be fair to the neighborhood, especially those who have to use the train frequently. And it just seems counterintuitive that the MTA wants to introduce congestion pricing when they?re elimination bus lines that will have to force many who work in Manhattan, to use their car. I am also against adjusting the BM4 schedule to cut short it?s Brooklyn pickup schedule to end at 9am. This is unfair to folks who have to get to work after that, which has been my case and others who would ride the bus with in late mornings. More scheduled pickup times for the BM4 needs to stay, especially since not many want to use the subway because of the safety issues.

Comment: As a long time bus rider of the X28 and X38 (departing each morning from Seagate at W37th St and Neptune) to Manhattan daily to work, it is imperative that the services on these express buses continues to pick up and leave residents from these stops in Coney Island (ending at Seagate at W37th and Neptune Ave). There are so many residents using this route to attend schools, go to work and making important appointments, other errands and etc daily including weekends in Bklyn and in Manhattan. People do not want to ride the trains in fear and lack of safety precautions. There are so many people including people with disabilities frequently using this X28 and X38 on a daily bases to meet their travel needs. Riding these buses to Seagate makes riders feel safe and have a peace of mind on a daily bases. We need this extended express service to continue to pick up and leave riders to continue this route to C.Island. We deserve the same services and priority that are given to other residents and other communities have been and will continue to receive with these express bus services making stops in all of the current stops. People cannot afford to pay a double fare or catch an Uber to catch these buses at Cropsey and Canal which is the projected for pick up and leaving of riders who reside along the Coney Island route to be ceased. Please take this feedback into consideration in this important decision to be made and will impact so many residents of Coney Island. Thank you.

Comment: The Bus Network Redesign for the B43 and B15 bus lines is to accommodate the business owners along these bus routes. Business owners along these routes have been allowed to expand their services to the sidewalks and streets. Because of this, sidewalks are congested, less parking spaces are available for residents, and the wait time for a bus is longer. And, now, MTA is not asking, but telling seniors, persons with disabilities, parents and children who use these buses to be transported to and from schools, tax payers, and home owners within these communities that they have to walk up to a mile to gain access to public transportation is unacceptable. These changes in bus service is a hindrance to the ability of these communities to have easy access to public transportation. The needs of the people in these communities should take precedence over the needs of the businesses in these communities! Jesus Christ said, the first commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul and the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself. The people within these communities are necessary for a successful MTA, please don?t disregard their presence, needs, or importance. Thank you.

Comment: I'm on the B38 line and I use Carlton Avenue one, if you get rid of Carlton Avenue and I have to walk all the way to south. I think it's South Portland would be the next one that's half of the park. And on terrible weather, I might as well just keep walking and walk downtown because I'm now in the middle of the park.  And secondly, I've waited for the B38 and there's like three come at one time. So maybe if you all fix the timing of the buses or when they supposed to come on schedule, because you have three buses coming at the same time. There are three buses right behind each other. So if you miss the third bus now I now you're going to have another 15 minutes or more to wait for the next bus because there's three buses together. The B38 runs in threes, even with the limits in the middle of it. And they need to fix that. And maybe if you fix that, you can keep our bus stops that we need because we need Grand. Because if you go to Grant, you're going to go walk all the way to Washington, which is not, doesn't make any sense. And if you get rid of Carlton, that mean I have to walk all the way to South Portland. And if I'm coming from downtown and I have bags and I have to get up at South Portland, why am I taking the bus? Or if I have to go to Vanderbilt, I have to walk all the way back to Carlton or that's a long walk.

Comment: The x28 along with the x27 is the only express bus that can be taken on Sunday's. This zone is very limited with service and it?s not fair to disrupt the convenience for people who live in this neighborhood or those of close proximity. There happen to be a lot of elderly people on this line as well who prefer the comfort and peace on this line oppose to the train. Please respect peoples preference and convenience of travel.

Comment: Please do not decrease the frequency of service on the express buses. They are the lifeline of our neighborhood! I am elderly and disabled and cannot easily access all subway stations served by the R train. My husband has cancer and also uses these buses to travel for treatment to Manhattan, including on Saturdays, because the subway ride is often too rough for his condition. The x27 and x37 are the only way that we feel comfortable traveling to Manhattan. Reducing frequency will make it harder for us to make appointments without enduring long waiting periods. I have personal relationships with the bus drivers and we consider them our advocates. I bought my house because of its proximity to the express bus stop. The express bus is a unique alternative that the subway does not substitute, so it is important to maintain service frequency on these lines. I also believe that the peak variant should go as far as Waverly Place to connect to the 6th Avenue subway lines.

Comment: NYCT President Richard Davey,

We want more efficient public transportation and safer streets. Therefore, we support the MTA’s proposed change to reroute the westward traveling B45 bus off of Saint Johns Place between New York Avenue and Rogers Avenue.

The MTA has cited the need for the change because this stretch of Saint Johns Place is too narrow for two-way bus traffic. Eastward and westward traveling b45 are constantly stuck, unable to pass each other, creating delays for riders throughout the bus network and dangerous congestions for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

We call on the MTA to move forward with their plan for a more equitable distribution of the B45 route to improve its reliability, operation, efficiency and safety for our community.

Comment: Re: Changes Proposed for the B13 and B38 Bus Routes B13 Bus Route: While the Transportation Services Committee of Queens Community Board 5 has been in favor of the provision of MTA/NY City Transit bus service to the Ridgewood Reservoir and Highland Park, the currently proposed B13 route change is very likely to negatively impact bus riders in parts of Ridgewood and Glendale, Queens who would lose helpful links because of the proposed bus route changes. There needs to be a way that residents, many who live near the current B13 Cypress Hills Street route, can access points north (into the Ridgewood commercial area and to train service) and south (access to the Ridgewood Reservoir, Highland Park, the J Train at Jamaica Avenue). B38 Bus Route: The current Bus Network Redesign Initiative, as proposed, would cause the loss of the Metropolitan Avenue terminus loop of the B38 route. This would have a negative impact, especially for residents of Ridgewood and Maspeth who use the B38 for access south to the L Train, and a single seat ride to Downtown Brooklyn and points in between. In combination with the proposed loss of the current B13 service that runs on Gates Avenue, in Ridgewood, there would be a significant gap in bus service that is a vital link for many residents. It is important to realize that reducing B38 bus service as proposed would negatively affect Grover Cleveland High School students.

Comment: I live in Brooklyn ( bus stop Bayview Av/West 36St ). In the morning time, I and my neighbors stay on the bus stop and wait for buses B74 or B36 to get the Coney Island train station. If you cut one of these buses on our bus stop we will not have a choice to catch the any of them bus to get train station. B36 and B74 run sloppy without a schedule and we are happy to get in any.. This is especially true for schoolchildren and the disabled. I don't understand why the B36 can't stop because it still goes by! You shorten the stops, but people will congregate at other stops and the route time will not be reduced due the increase in the pick up time! And if it's cold or snowing or raining, hot - think about people! Thank you for your attention.

Comment: I am emailing regarding to proposed changes to the downtown BM4. While I am all for the changes to the BM4 route in the part in Brooklyn, I am opposed to the changes in Manhattan where it will be rerouted off of church street. A large number of office workers including myself use the BM4 for the convenience of dropping us of near work in or near the WTC buildings. If the route in Manhattan changed, it wouldn?t rarely use the BM4 route as its new stops would take me far away from my work location. Thank you.

By moving them to Marcus Garvey and Throop you and making it more inaccessible for people and eliminate a key north/south bus line in Brooklyn! Please keep the bus lines as they are!

Comment: The 65th Street route (likely B100) can swing down to Bay Ridge Avenue to save resources. The 13th Avenue route can be routed straight through Borough Park, and the Bath Avenue portion of the B64 can be routed via Cropsey Avenue and 92nd Street (which is a more direct connection to the (R) than the current route).

Comment: The B76 should be the full-time route rather than the B60, as that serves a unique market connecting the Paerdegats to the Canarsie (L) station (As a matter of fact, the B60 as proposed shouldn't exist, and all of the resources for Rockaway Avenue should be dedicated to the B76. The portion between the Breukelen Houses and Canarsie (L) station should be a separate route that continues on to City Line via Stanley Avenue). The B60 as it is sees very little ridership from the Breukelen Houses (because if anybody wanted to take the (L) train, the East 105th Street station is within walking distance).

Comment: For the area along stanley avenue, there is potential for the B60 to extended down Stanley Ave through the mail facility as opposed to the B14 making the connection. The B14 should go to crossbay blvd, or even to aquaduct racetrack or even the airport.

Comment: We really need to eliminate the extraneous bus stop such on DeKalb Ave/Ryerson. It is really pointless with a much better stop on DeKalb / Classon. The plan to reroute the B52 onto Gates just makes sense. I suggest we keep the Lafayette/Grand Ave bus stop since it is useful for seniors living in the cooperatives along that stretch of Lafayette Ave. In short, 1)Reroute the B52 to Gates 2)Remove the DeKalb / Ryerson stop 3)Keep the Lafayette/Grand stop Thank you.

Comment: Smith Street has a bike lane and one lane of traffic with two lanes for parking/turning on either side. During rush hour it's extremely clogged with cars, unloading trucks, and bike commuters taking the main route from points south and southeast into Manhattan. Buses move slowly here, and having to weave in and out of buses pulling out makes an already dangerous ride even more dangerous for bike commuters. If at all possible, please consider moving buses away off of Smith Street north of 9th Street or at least Bergen.

Comment: I understand the motivations to move all bus service in Bed-Stuy to priority corridors, and I think it will do wonders for local service, but the prospect of having to walk two very long blocks to get to the bus is tough to swallow, especially given the increased distance between stops. I do get that Tompkins, especially just south of Flushing, is pure chaos and it would be good to not have buses stuck there (and have to be rerouted on summer Sundays further down), but would it instead be possible to take the opportunity and clean up this part of Tompkins for good by putting in a priority bus lane?

There are also plans to replace traffic lanes with bike lanes on McGuiness  Blvd.  making for more congestion.  Please, someone tell me the positives for this proposal. And I hope to God it hasnt been approved yet, without community input.

Comment: Hello, please do not reduce and/or do away with the buses that service the southern Brooklyn area. The bus lines reach many straphangers that rely heavily on this mode of transportation to get to work as well as commute locally to reach businesses, public facilities as well as medical facilities. It would be detrimental to reduce the number of bus stops. In particular, the express buses connecting southern Brooklyn to Manhattan are crucial to ease the burden and overcrowding of trains. In addition, it connects many users on a daily basis in order for them to feel safer to reaching their place of employment. As is, many New Yorkers have anxiety from commuting on mass transportation and the express buses connecting the southern Brooklyn areas, namely the x28 and x38, have provided a level of comfort when it comes to everyday commuting, convenience, ease and safety.

Comment: Streamlining the service for B38 and B39 Limited may eliminate confusion and improve service. However, in reviewing the proposed changes, I think it would be essential to keep the Ashland stop between the Flatbush extension and Lafayette Ave. Otherwise, commuters coming off the G train at that exit (or from BAM, from Atlantic Terminal) are inconvenienced.

Comment: I am thoroughly disappointed with the proposed changes for the B54 line. First, please re-consider removing the stop at Clinton Ave. it?s very convenient for many residents who live or work on Clinton Avenue. The Vanderbilt stop seems like a better option to remove. Secondly, the proposed service frequency is awful. What?s the point of nearly a 30-minute wait on a Sunday? This isn?t a commuter line. If the wait is more than 15 minutes max, people will find alternatives - including different modes of travel altogether.

Comment: Please don?t fuck with the busses in Brooklyn, especially the express busses X27/X28 and the B16/B63. So many people including my self rely on those buses and the stops that they already have to get around BK and Manhattan. Don?t make it any harder for us or more expensive to get to the city. Most people I know prefer the express to the train because it?s safer and more reliable. Thanks for the consideration.

Comment: I am a frequent user of the B48 line and am extremely upset about the proposed change for the line. Currently it is one of the only direct connections between Crown Heights/Prospect Heights and north Brooklyn. It does not appear that anything is replacing this key connection and I think this would be a huge mistake.

Comment: Regarding the B52 route. My family lives at 101 Gates Ave, so would be immediately affected by the change. While it may provide a more direct route to Fulton, Gates Ave is a two way street that is already prone to congestion. There are common lane blockages due to everything from construction vehicles, delivery trucks, Uber, to residents seeking access to their homes for pick ups and drop offs. These disruptions will not serve the bus schedule well and will only exasperate the existing congestion. Also, there is a large active church on the corner of Washington where the new route has the B52 Bus turning towards Fulton that is frequently conducting funerals, including large NYPD gatherings and other events that cause congestion in the area. There are other alternatives like turning down Grand, a one-way street, to Fulton. That section of Grand would only be one block and provides more width and less traffic to efficiently transition to Fulton. Additionally there are many old, large, overhanging trees on Gates Ave that need to be protected and may be impediments to a bus pulling over close to the curb. Needless to say, the loss of parking due to Citi-Bikes and restaurant structures has over-burdened residents and adding bus-stops will not help the situation. It doesn't make sense to travel further down Gates to Washington given these obstacles and propensity for congestion on both streets. We oppose the plan, please find an alternative.

Comment: Please do not reroute the B52 bus so it runs past PS56 along Gates Ave. west of Classon/Franklin. There is an elementary school at 170 Gates avenue and the bus routed by that school would be a huge safety concern for parents. Our two sons attend this school. We are also trying to get a stop sign at the corner of Gates and Downing which is much needed for pedestrian safety. Thank you, Hardy Stecker Resident of the area

Comment: I OPPOSE the proposed change to the B52 bus route. I have a child in kindergarten at PS56 on Gates Ave between Classon and Downing, and a bus running on this stretch of Gates risks grave traffic, safety, and health concerns, and could make school drop-off and pickup even more dangerous and difficult than it already is. Children already have to cross a busy, narrow Gates Ave at corners without traffic lights or stop signs (corners of Gates & Downing and Gates & Irving). Adding a busy bus route to this block will only make it more dangerous. I support keeping the B52 route along Green Ave, which is a wider street that does not include an elementary school crossing without a stop sign or traffic light. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

Comment: The express bus provides as an only option for most commuters. The jobs we rely on to pay the large taxes due come from your city - commuting workers. I do not feel the changes would be beneficial to the people trying to put food on the table and manage households. These commuters rely heavily on the current scheduling of express busses as well, they pay a large fee to ensure they?re on a scheduled bus. This is a need and not a luxury. Changes of any kind to these schedules creates havoc for commuting families. Their time is valuable and they pay for it.

Comment: We are vehemently opposed to the redirection of the B52 Bus. We LITERALLY live at 141 Gates Avenue, the exact spot that the new stop, traveling West, would be at. The current stops in the area that you plan to reroute-- the stop currently on Greene between Grand and Cambridge Place would move right in front of our house. The sidewalk on Gates Avenue, Between Grand and Cambridge Place is not as wide/deep as it is on Greene Avenue. Exhaust will pour into our home, not to mention the noise and constant traffic. I understand that bus stops need to be in front of homes and it is inevitable that SOMEONE must live with it, but to redirect a bus for no real purpose and to change the quality of life for those living there is really unfair. The bus has been on Greene Avenue for years. Why is it being re-routed now?

Comment: Please do not proceed with redesigning the bus lines in Brooklyn. Moving stops further apart will only disadvantage regular riders, especially elderly people who rely on buses for ease of transportation and children commuting to school who will now have to cross more streets. Moving the routes to Marcus Garvey will also ensure worse traffic on an already busy street.

The costs are excessive, we tolerate the inconsistencies, and just ask for a service politicians force us to use with tolls, parking, and soon to be congestion fees. Are you truly concerned about the workers of this city? Stop spending money on parks and art so we can support our families and get to and from work.

This stop is HEAVILY used by families within the neighborhood, those with small children, and the elderly. In poor weather, walking to Union or 3rd avenue would just be unbearable and with such a high volume of schools and businesses in the area, imagine the crowds that will assemble at these spots!! Please please please leave the Garfield stop as it is. We need it!

Comment: It is very important to continue the X27 service from south Brooklyn to 23rd street. I myself work at Union square, many people from the neighborhood depend on this route to get to work and to school. There are many students who safely ride the express bus to Xavier in Manhattan. Cutting service to this area of Manhattan and eliminating stops in Brooklyn will greatly affect a very large number of commuters in my community. I strongly and respectfully request that these proposed cuts not be made.

I take this route from Tompkins up to Greenpoint, and down to Crown Heights so regularly, as do many of my neighbors and friends in both Bed Stuy and Crown Heights, and changing this and condensing, would not only lead to crowding, but also inconvenice many riders for whom the route is already ideal.

I also do not want to get on the bus with a bunch of loud high school students during the day or after work. Although the B2 is not always on time, it gets me to point A to point B. It also is the fastest way to help me to get the closest train station. It?s VERY convenient. My father also uses this bus to get to work. He struggles with walking and with the B2 being right in front of our home, it?s been a HUGE relief for him. Please DO NOT eliminate the B2. Please understand that we really need this bus line. I hope you reconsider. Thank you.

Comment: The elimination of service beyond the financial district for x27 is ridiculous. As commuters and seniors who live in bay ridge especially below 3 avenue this would be extremely difficult and unfair. We pay more than our share of taxes snd this would be a disservice to the community that would cause inability to visit doctors hospitals as well as everything that Manhattan has to offer. We live in a transit desert with only one train line the R to rely on which is not the quickest. We are willing to pay the express fare which is quite high but at any rate preferable to the train. We feel that our community is being unfairly targeted as every few years we have to fight this. We cannot support these cuts in our express bus service if anything we need expansion like further uptown.

Comment: Planned elimination of B2 with out more frequent service on B31& B100 will mean further overcrowding during peak AM/PM times thereby increasing my commuting time further. In addition eliminating local stops to space them further on average 1000ft vs 600ft means I will need to walk about 1.5-2 blocks more.. It doesn?t speed up service or improve reliability, just increased my total commuting time and increase chance of my missing bus since it?s more walking.

Comment: I believe and support the new re-route plan for the Westbound B45. This will alleviate a considerable amount of conjestion on St. Johns. Especially during peak hours. Sterling Place is best suitable for the flow of the bus schedule due to the width of the roads and low traffic at all times.

The other option of using the MTA subway is further away from residence in this area. Please reconsider your decision to remove this line as this bus is already very limited. Thank you!

Comment: Please do not make the proposed changes to cut down service on the B103 across Flatbush and Kensington around Cortelyou - this is an essential line to get to downtown Brooklyn and anywhere west of the park, and it?s one of the most reliable buses I?ve ever taken. If service is broken up into multiple lines it?s much more likely to have you waiting upwards of 15-20 minutes for service changes. This will be incredibly disruptive to a main corridor connecting Flatbush to downtown.

Comment: Please don't discontinue the downtown segment of B103 - if anything we need more busses on this route, not less. There are often long waits and the bus is always full in the evenings. Also, please don't discontinue BM services on Saturdays. I work weekends and I already don't have access to this service on Sundays. However, I support the idea of relocating BM stops from Courtelyou to Beverley Road. Considering the traffic and congestion, this would be a great solution.

Gates Ave, especially by Washington, is already plagued by intense amounts of traffic and regular accidents. And now adding a bus? Please reconsider.

Comment: Please don't eliminate service along Tompkins on the B43! Tompkins Ave is a key commercial thoroughfare of the neighborhood, and has seen a lively presence of shops and businesses. It feels like a community center. Cutting the B43 along Tompkins would reduce accessibility for many. I'm no transit data analyst, but the fact that the B43 isn't overcrowded makes me feel like things are working as they should.

Comment: I am opposed to moving the B52 to travel on Fulton Avenue instead of maintaining the existing route on Greene Avenue. Several other bus lines run along Fulton Avenue while the B52 is the only one servicing riders, especially elder riders, along Greene Avenue between Fulton and Franklin Avenues.

Idea of introducing B40 rush on Empire Blvd, starting it at Grand Army Plaza could be a good idea because that's a roundabout. This would give access to GAP 2/3 stations and the museum. Folks with disabilities could access this who rely on busses to get around.

Comment: We're senior citizens, on 2/21 morning around 8:15 am, there was a B16 supposed to arrive at Shore Rd/ 97th St at 8:21 am according to the bus schedule, but no show. It says the next one arrives at 8:41 am, but no show either. The arrival time kept changing and said in 32 minutes! We have to give up. This happened many times in the morning of B16. My friend had the same experience recently. Hope MTA can improve B16's service. Many seniors in Bay Ridge community needs B16 to get around. Thank You!

Comment: If you cancel the Carleton DeKalb and you cancel the Carin Lafayette, what you've done is isolated a whole section of Fort Green and by taking the bus, the bus route off Green Avenue and limiting those stops, what again, you've isolated a whole section, you've inconvenienced seniors who now do you expect them to walk through the park at night or carry packages in extra three or four blocks? I think there is some rethinking that needs to happen. Yes, thank you.

Comment: If you can cancel the B 38 at Carleton and the B 52 at Carleton, you've taken a chunk parallel and eliminated it from the community and from people coming into the community. So coming up from downtown, if you were, you'd get off at the Carleton stop and a Delphi. If you're going downtown, you get off the Carlton stop and it's vital. But the way that you've replanted it I think you should look again at the planning.

I am a former City Planner - and back in the 1980's for a time was in charge of the redesign of the Times Square Subway station - and in that capacity - worked closely with the NYCTA and DOT.

Comment: X28/ BM8- concerned with proposed drop in service. Particularly drop in service off-peak mid-day. No bk bound service before 2pm and after 9am to manhattan would eliminate a vital transit option for the community. There are lots of reasons to take it other than getting to a 9-5 job, such as doctors appointments. If there is truly low ridership, you should just limit frequency, not just eliminate entirely. Those who are mobility impaired also rely on these routes.

Comment: I've been told the B25 may be changing from Fulton st. To Gates av, is this true? Why?? As a long time resident the B25 as it currently runs has been critical in my commute not to mention the numerous schools like achievement first on Waverly av., for years children have relied on the B25 running along Fulton!! Why Gates? Gates av. is super small, would not accommodate a bus route well at all and the street that used to connect gates back to Fulton right after Vanderbilt av. is now closed off to auto traffic so where exactly would the B25 run? Ever heard if it ain't broke don't try to fix it? Is this some gentrification move, maybe some rich people want a bus stop in front of their townhouse? Every senior in the neighborhood will be up in arms, myself included.

Especially the BM4 it is the only bus to Manhattan in Marine park. We would have to pay 2 fares to get into Manhattan now. The B2 runs to Kings plaza we would need to pay 2 fares to get there. This is unacceptable. Please rethink this plan as it is horrible.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): 
Comment: (1) reducing the interval between stops on the local bus lines will reduce the usefulness of buses as a transportation alternative to many users, including particularly the elderly, shoppers etc for whom walking several more blocks to catch a bus is a problem. I believe ridership will drop as a result which is not a good consequence. For me personally, deletion of the ST Marks Ave/Flatbush stops for the B41/B67 will make the bus significantly less convenient and I know many who will be disadvantaged by the stretching out of the stops on the B65 and B69 as well. (2) historic routes (especially the old crosstowns/former trolley routes) have supported housing, education and employment choices over the decades. MTA should be more conscious of this in planning to shorten routes reduce the frequency on these routes, etc. Providing a transfer on an already long route which may be the only public transportation alternative for some is not necessarily a palatable solution to the riders who need those lines. thinking of the shortening of the B69 for example. The Park Slope area has had steadily reduced bus service over the years, has a major hospital and many educational institutions which are heavy users of buses, and the population is aging.

Comment: I am opposed to removing stops on the local bus lines one being the B63. The stops are very important to the local users, especially seniors who heavily rely on the bus system for transport and may already have to walk several blocks to get to the bus. Removing stops will likely reduce ridership on the crucial local lines that do not duplicate but supplement the subway service

Comment: I live on Saint Johns Place between Nostrand and New York Avenue, one of two blocks that are both extremely narrow and used by buses in both directions (as well as cars and delivery vans). As a cyclist commuting to and from work in Manhattan, these two blocks are probably the most dangerous of my entire commuting route due to the amount of traffic crammed into a narrow space. I have already personally witnessed one accident involving people on the sidewalk being hit by a car, and have only narrowly escaped similar situations on several occasions, sometimes because of cars attempting to overtake buses stopping and bursting into the opposite lane without warning. The situation at present is unbearable, so much so that I am not letting my children use their bicycles on our street. I definitely support rerouting the B45 in one direction as a start to make SJP at least somewhat safer. Even better would be to make it one-way only until it widens at New York Ave and introduce a bike path.

Comment: Keep the B43 on Tompkins and the B15 on Lewis! The proposed changes to these routes will dramatically increase the distance needed to access public transportation and eliminate service to two important and up-and-coming commercial corridors. As a resident and commuter, I want the maintenance of bus service to Tompkins and Lewis Avenues. We do need to improve bus service in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and in Brooklyn, but eliminating routes for the mirage of decreased wait times is not the change we need.

Comment: The proposed relocation/merging of the B15/B43 bus routes through CB3 is a terrible idea! In removing bus lanes from Tompkins and Lewis Avenues this plan seeks to deprive thriving commercial corridors in historically Black neighborhoods of vital transportation. This is a racist Robert Moses-esque plan to strategically economically disenfranchise small business owners and key stakeholders of transportation options. It creates longer transfer distances between train and bus lines, and will cause increased wait times, longer ride times, and more crowded buses on the proposed merger of these two routes. This is unacceptable and incredibly short-sighted for an area that has only grown in population. Shame on you, MTA, for even suggesting this BIPOC stronghold deserves less access to reliable, affordable public transit!

Comment: What we really, really need is a direct bus line from Kingsborough Community College to the Stillwell Avenue/Coney Island stop. For many of us who need to connect with the F, N, and D trains, we need to transfer from one bus to another bus to Coney Island and then pay an extra fare, or transfer at Sheepshead Bay to the Q, which is very slow and infrequent, and then transfer at Coney Island, adding up to 30 minutes to our commutes. And that's just going home. Getting to the campus is even worse. Please, just find a way for a one-transfer ride from the campus bus stop to the Coney Island/Stillwell stop.

Comment: The most glaring changes to the bus lines serving my State Senate district in
Southern Brooklyn are the elimination of several bus stops and the discontinued service along
several routes, some of which include B1, B4, B36, B49, B64, B68, B74, BM38 and B44SBS. As
bus ridership continues to rebound, rising up to pre-pandemic numbers, it is that much more
necessary to ensure that Brooklyn residents have reliable, timely, and accessible bus stops and bus
routes. In transportation deserts like Coney Island, that need is that much more heightened.

Comment: The overwhelming response to the draft redesign is that the proposed route and stop changes do not consider the demographics
and needs of area riders. Removing or simply relocating bus stops along certain lines will have a
detrimental impact on the elderly, riders with disabilities, and those with young children and/or
strollers. In unfavorable weather conditions — extreme heat, cold, or precipitation — walking an
additional few blocks could prove strenuous....

....The aforementioned bus routes serve varied populations of Southern Brooklyn residents, many of
which are low- to middle-income, working class residents that rely on bus transit solely to get them
to work and school. As bus ridership continues to see an incline, it would be a disservice to the
Southern Brooklyn community to change their existing transit options, bus routes, and bus stops.

Comment: One of the responses that our office received when soliciting feedback about this plan was from a
mother who rides the bus at six in the morning with her seven-year-old daughter and does not feel
safe walking to another bus stop with their child at that time of day. This is a valid public safety
concern, and one that I am sure many of my constituents share.

Comment: I take the B52 from Classon/Gates to Downtown Brooklyn. I disagree with the idea of running the bus down gates all the way to Washington. Gates is way too narrow for a bus. Also at Gates and Downing. There is a school and frequently cars are double parked there. Another issue I have with it is that the stretch of Fulton between Washington and Flatbush is very very very busy. The bus gets stopped constantly because of double parked cars and delivery trucks. I would stop taking the bus if this route changed because it would take too long to get to my destination.

Everyday people get on the wrong bus. Not sure why they have the same bus numbers all these years for two B41 Bus Lines. The wait at night is sometimes sooo long i have to take uber and then listen to all the people complaining especially if they see my ID and they get disgruntal. We need MORE B41 BERGEN BEACH BUSES.

Comment: It has come to my attention that the B2 bus line is scheduled to be discontinued. This bus route is used by many riders in the community, as well as used by many students to attend several neighborhood schools. Discontinuing this route would cause many issues and inconveniences. The buses (both B2 and B100) are always crowded during peak hours.

Comment: I ride the X27 Express bus, getting on at 97th St & Shore Road. If you eliminate that stop, I will have to go to Ridge Boulevard. It's not the distance that bothers me. It's that the 97th St stop is near a building with an awning that provides protection from bad weather while waiting. The Ridge Boulevard stop is totally exposed to the elements. Why not eliminate the Ridge Boulevard stop instead and leave the 97th St stop?

Comment: JoAnne Meyers: As a rep from Kingsborough, we know that a good number of students are making the long trip from Central Brooklyn and Bedford Stuyvesant. The route change will be a hardship to them.
Thanks, Evan. (Several people hearing of the change also thought the swap seemed racially based...sending folks from BedStuy to Coney Island and folks from Park Slope to Manhattan Beach.)
Evan Bialostozky (MTA): Our intent was to send both bus routes to the same subway station so students coming from the B/Q can go to one stop
JoAnne Meyers: The kids on the bus aren't concerned with the train. The college has tried to alleviate some of that congestion by providing (an expensive) shuttle service to both Brighton and Coney Island stations.

Comment: I take the express bus everyday on Cortelyou Rd. The traffic/ street conditions are fine. Businesses on Cortelyou would suffer- people get coffee before getting on the bus. It's preferred to taking the subway. You would lose riders by making this change. The bus works fine!! Why spend the money on this?

Comment: Every morning I take the X27 to lower Manhattan to work, and every night, I take it back home to my neighborhood in Bay Ridge. That amounts to about an 1-1.5 hours saved from my daily commute, or 5-7.5 hours a week. If I lose these hours due to disrupted bus service, those are hours I'll never get back in my life, hours that are now being used to have productive Zoom sessions for my private therapy practice or dinner with my family.

Comment: I'm not sure how you eliminate the B2 bus line in Marine Park...it serves all of Marine Park...from Kings Plaza to the train station. The B-100 is already overcrowded...so combining the both is really not an option. People from Avenue use that now....so not you want them to walk an additional long block the Fillmore Ave? Have you ever been on a B-100 during rush hour? It's packed. Please reconsider and fain alternate ways to save money

Comment: The plan to eliminate stops along the B100 seems punitive for the amount of time saved. That bus is a local bus route serving thousands of people, many are elderly and children who need access to transportation. Spacing stops six blocks apart seems to defeat the idea of public transportation and makes it only for the physically privileged. Students will be late to school, and during winter, people need to walk out in the cold and wet many blocks to wait for a bus. The planned elimination of the B 2 makes alternatives unavailable. This proposal seems to be a punishment to the neighborhood that is already at a transportation disadvantage.

Comment: I am concerned about the plan reroute of the B 100 and the B2. Both buses serve the many families and students that live in the area. School begins at 7:45 AM, and these buses enable students to get back-and-forth from school in time. The B2 also serves as a direct line to a major shopping area from the queue and betrayed. We designs of these routes would have a serious economic and social-emotional impact on our community.

Comment: I strongly urge reconsideration of the retirement of the B2 bus service. The are many elderly people in the neighborhood and this will increase the walking distance to bus stops for some from 300 ft to 1800 ft. The service also removes the hub of Kings Plaza and will now only be accessible via bus transfer or 2500 ft walk crossing dangerous intersections like Utica & Flatbush Ave, Avenue U & Flatbush Ave. Normal B2 AM Peak service to Kings Highway along Avenue R is near full capacity between E 36th Street and Gerritsen Ave. As many as 15 people are waiting at stops along this stretch. Late evening service needs to be increased, not decreased. There are still large amount of people exiting the B/Q Kings Highway Station between 8pm and 11pm. Late night service is sorely missing in this area.

Comment: I took the B100 evening rush hour bus about 1640 and it was absolutely terrible with the animals we classify as students, and you want to get rid of the B2 bus. Here is a suggestion, how about fixing the B46 route where you can always see multiple empty buses on Utica & Flatbush, especially Select Bus service and pay more attention to the B2 that goes to Kings Plaza. And NO those buses did not just come out of the bus depot.

When the bus arrived at Filmore Ave & E37 St only 2 of the 5 people waiting were able to get on the bus due to overcrowding. Explain to me how eliminating the B2 will be an improvement. You cannot because it's all a fantasy within the MTA.

Comment: The B2 bus is an important part of Marine Park and by eliminating it as planned serves no purpose. The B100 is already over crowded. Plus no one wants to be on the bus when all the animals (aka students) get on. This week is a pleasure since school is out. How many times do we have to hear the word ?nigga? from the foul mouth students.

Comment: Today 2/27/23 I boarded the B100 about 1630 at E16th st and it was packed. How can you say by eliminating the B2 there will be an improvement. This is a pipe dream and in my opinion designed by an incompetent person.

Comment: As one of residents currently living on Gates ave, I strongly object to the proposed change to the B52 Local to permanently route that bus through our neighborhood. It would negatively impact noise and air quality, and reduce critical parking space, while removing a critical public transportation option from the many residents of the Ryerson and St James towers on lafayette. This plan only hurts both communities that it impacts.

Comment: This is in regards to the B52 bus redesign. The stretch of Gates that is planned to be utilized would pass by PS 56 at 170 Gates Avenue. This stretch is already notoriously impossible to pass through mornings and afternoons because of parent and school bus pickups/drop offs and repeated double-parking. Sanitation trucks pick up M/W?F compounding the problem, I live on this block and I can tell you that when the timing of theschool buses and garbage trucks coincide, the traffic backs up past Classon in one direction and all the way to Cambridge in the other. The resulting noise pollution is unbearable. Also Irving Place that intersects with Gates, as well as Downing are notoriously dangerous intersections. The DOT has repeatedly refused to install a traffic light at either intersection. When The school buses park overnight in front of the school, you have no visibility from Irving to turn on to or cross Gates - this goes for pedestrians and vehicles alike. The addition of buses to this already hazardous condition will put the lives of the young students that attend the school. Also, the added noise and pollution will adversely affect these same children's learning environment. If you want a first hand opinion about how difficult this stretch is navigate, interview the drivers along this route and ask them what it is like when on occasion, for whatever reason, the buses get rerouted from Greene to Gates. I'm sure they will agree that it is a horror.

Comment: The Westbound stop at Vanderbilt and Myrtle is still shown existing in principle, however, in practice it was eliminated over a decade ago. Please consider retaining the existing westbound stop at Clinton and Myrtle instead of one at Vanderbilt and Myrtle. Even when both stops did exist, the Clinton Stop was always more heavily utilized. (Eastbound, the Clinton stop should be eliminated)

Comment: There is just no need for a B5 LTD. For the amount of unique riders this route would supposedly pull in, simply running the B6 LTD to Gateway and extending the B6 LCL to New Lots Avenue in the limited's place would keep from splitting resources and is a better fit than creating a whole other service.

Comment: The B40 should go to Kings Highway (B) (Q) station instead, for better connections to the Brighton line. It can operate via Quentin Road east of Flatbush Avenue to replace parts of the B100 and provide more coverage in the Flatlands area.

For service to/from Flatbush Avenue (2) (5) station, consider having a rush hour variant or have select B41 local buses serve Avenue N.

Comment: There is no need for the B48 to go to Downtown Brooklyn, as virtually every east-west route it intersects is more frequent and goes to the actual heart of Downtown Brooklyn (the B48 serves only a very small part, closer to DUMBO).               
Also, most of the people using the B48 in Williamsburg are specifically looking to take the bus to the areas it serves in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. Please do not swap the current Greenpoint segment of the B48 with the B69.

Comment: Manhattan Avenue is a commercial area with a lot of businesses, which is a ridership generator. Yes, there is a lot of traffic during the day, but that's not an excuse to suddenly reroute buses onto McGuinness Boulevard and not serve where people need to go. There has to be a balancing act between speeding up service and serving ridership generators. This proposed plan is way too skewed towards speeding up service, that you risk losing existing ridership because it would very inconvenient (at best) to get to and from the bus.

Comment: If overnight service on the B66 is hourly, there will need to be two buses since based on the existing B60 timetable and some estimates for the portion along Fulton Street, the runtime from Williamsburg to Broadway Junction will be over 30 minutes (and the cycle time would be double that amount). If this is the case, please consider operating into Manhattan via the B39 to/from Delancey Street during these times, as well as during evening hours when the B39 does not run. You'd be able to serve more areas using the same amount of resources.

Comment: Sending the B69 to Williamsburg is not necessarily a bad idea, however the specifics do matter. Having it take over the B48 would be a disservice for riders of that route in Williamsburg who take the buses to parts of Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, which the B69 does not serve (not even close).                                                                    The B69 can be routed to/from Williamsburg Bridge Plaza via Williamsburg Street East/West. From there, many connections to bus routes to other parts of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, as well as Queens exist.

Comment: The B67/B69 overlap on 7th Avenue should come to an end, there should only be one route on it and it should be the B67.  Each route gets barebones service because they are scheduled to not overserve one part of their shared route.                                                                      The B69 should probably end around Grand Army Plaza, and then run it north to Williamsburg from there. Alternatively, the route could operate via Union Street, to/from the Waterfront to provide service that was cut and never restored. This would still provide a connection to/from the B67 at 7th Avenue for anyone who really needs it.

Having the B67 operate solely on 7th Avenue would allow for the trunk of 7th Avenue to be served with frequent service, as well as provide attractive, direct options to go to/from Downtown Brooklyn from sections away from the subway. This was the case before 2010 and should be looked into here. There's no need to have both the B67 and B69 and underserve the individual sections of each route for those not looking for the subway.

Comment: Kevin, I agree! This is one major reason I am here to speak on the B38! In short text form, the B38 requires a Select Bus Service addition. It is a crucial bus route into Downtown Brooklyn, with little deviations it is faster than any other bus or train route from where it originates from. I believe the B38 limited should become the new local, riding the b38 now, like many other routes, takes entirely too long due to the amount of stops, lack of designated bus lanes or lights and other factors. The MTA should consider not only the elderly and wheelchair enabled, but also everyone, as we are all a community. This is not easy to do, however this redesign is focused on the future! We need to cater to a wider audience to increase ridership!

Comment: Revising this route (B64) eliminates a link to the NY Ferry at American Veterans Memorial Pier, and the new Bay Ridge Senior Center at Bay Ridge Ave. and Owls Head Ct.   In fact, the current route should be extended to Owls Head Ct., especially for the Senior Citizens using the ferry or the Senior Center. (about 1/2 mile) Because of the new Center, usage will certainly increase.

Comment: As a long time Ditmas Park resident, I really on the B103 bus service to travel daily to the Junction and Brooklyn College and also to Downtown Brooklyn. This service has also been necessary when the Q train is not in service. To eliminate the B103 bus service along Cortelyou Rd. Would greatly impact local residents and I strongly this restructuring proposal will not change our B103 bus service- we are depending on it!

Comment: The B2 bus line has been a mainsteam source of the Marine Park community commute over the years. Myself 25yrs and counting. i am on the first bus out in the maoring and have personnally witnessed the increase in ridership on this line.I have also had to bear with the change in the hours over the years operations being suspended overnight. I work frequently during the off hours and it has made it inconvenient to make an attempt to commute home. Evening commuting has been more chalenging due to volume of ridership. I use this line frequently on weekends and the wait and time allotment for the commute has been cause to add an additional 1/2hr. In all the frequency of operation in conjunction with train operation is not an effective commute , without having to walk either an additional 10 to12 minutes to Avenue U or an additional 5 to 6 To Fillmore , especially if a bus runs off schedual and is missed or does not show up at all . How abought you standing out in the cold and rain with no shelter. I find this line is extremly valuable to our community, and is a necessity for our elderly, working class and students.

Comment: You plan on eliminating the B8, eastbound, 'CROPSEY AV/15th AV' stop and use either the 'CROPSEY AV/BAY 7 ST' stop or the 'CROPSEY AV/16 AV' stop. If you get off at the 'CROPSEY AV/BAY 7 ST' there is no SAFE, direct way to cross Bay 8 St. In order to cross Bay 8 Street safely it requires a very roundabout way. Getting off at 'CROPSEY AV/16 AV' is too far of a walk to 15th Ave.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): New route proposal, Turnaround
Comment: The B39 is a great idea in theory, but in practice, the bus is painfully slow due to traffic headed to the city. I think the MTA should collaborate with the DOT to allow for high-occupancy lanes or bus lanes. I think it would be worthwhile if the bus had more connections to nearby train stops, such as 2nd Avenue and Broadway-Lafayette, so that less able passengers are able to connect to more subway lines easily, and buses have an easier way of turning back around, with the traffic restrictions in place in the area approaching the bridge. The bus could go all the way to Lorimer/Metropolitan, and give people an alternative if there is an issue on the Williamsburg Bridge or 14th Street tunnel. This route should use 100% electric vehicles and a route the MTA uses to test out future equipment due to its short route.

Comment: I like the idea of extending the B57 to Jackson Heights. However, I am not satisfied with the headways, the bus carries a good amount of passengers, and with this reroute, more will use it. I don't know why it is running on Park Avenue, as many people ride it to get to Wegmans/Brooklyn Navy Yard and housing projects in between. One big issue is the traffic volume between the BQE and Humboldt St, Flushing Avenue is a wide but highly congested street. It would be nice if the MTA collaborated with the DOT to allow for bus priority/dedicated lanes, which could also be helpful for school buses in the area.

Comment: The B66 should have better service and retain the B60 branding, as many in the Bushwick/Williamsburg area are familiar with it and serves as a supplement and/or complement to the L train. The draft version of the B60 should be eliminated, and resources should be distributed between the shortened B66 and new B76. Currently, B60 service heading southbound is severely lacking in the evening rush hour, while buses headed northbound have more service. The flow of service in general needs to be better distributed.

Comment: My husband and I are residents of Marine Park, in Brooklyn. We are elderly, and my husband is not well. The B2 is our local bus service, and eliminating the route would be a true hardship for us. Using the B100 is not an option for us. It is a longer walk to the stop, and the buses are often overcrowded with rowdy junior, and high school students. It is almost impossible to get a seat, or exit the bus safely. Please rethink your plan about eliminating the B2. It would only make service on the B100 worse, and it would create a major problem for the elderly and handicapped who live in the neighborhood. Thank you, Judith Hibshoosh

Comment: I'm strongly opposed to the proposal to merge the b43 with the b15. Brooklyn Ave is home to many high traffic destinations (Brower Park & the library to name just a few) and needs dedicated service. I rely on the b43 to travel north/south in Brooklyn, as it's almost a 30 min walk to the nearest g stop and even farther to the q.

Comment: I am writing to strongly oppose the removal of significant stops to on B63 Fifth Avenue bus line. Specifically, the Garfield Place stop is used by many people with small children and elderly must be preserved. This stop removal would disproportionately affect them by creating a nearly 7 block gap in bus service. The stop?s removal is particularly important because it connects us to the multiple subway stops at the Atlantic terminal subway, relieving residents of relying solely on the unreliable R train as our only nearby option. Thank you for reconsidering this harmful reduction in our service.

Coney Island train station is overwhelmed with homeless still sleeping inside the subway cars still in 2023! If You figured with all the new housing and possibly a casino being built in Coney Island? MTA thinks that an express bus route is not needed in Coney Island / Seagate? When I get off the bus on 17th and Mermaid there still at least 5 to 10 passengers left on the bus on any given day.

Comment: I've been riding the X28 bus for two years now. I catch the bus on Broadway and Thomas Street. Now on any giving day when I get off at W 17th and Mermaid, there are still any where from 5 to 10 people still on that bus. Plus you have all these new residential units being built for a new demographic that is paying $ 2,000 to 3,000 dollars in rent for these apartments. Tourist ride the X28/X38 to go Coney Island too. Let's not forget the possibility of a casino being built in the area? The express will be much needed. At least keep the W 17th Mermaid bus stop. It not safe walking through all those car wash and automobile repair shops on Crospsey avenue. Its very convenient and safe where as the trains are not! It's also serves our elderly community as well.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Retain existing routing, No bus service on proposed new street
Comment: Above is a map showing the proposed rerouting of the B13 bus which would no longer travel through Ridgewood and Glendale and then down Cypress Hills Street to Brooklyn. Instead, it would use Cypress Ave on the Ridgewood/Brooklyn border, then head down Vermont Place and Highland Blvd to Jamaica Ave. This would supposedly provide desired access to the Ridgewood Reservoir, however, there are multiple problems with this plan. 1) The road prohibits all but passenger cars, likely due to the narrow width of the road. These signs are posted at the entrance to the park at Jamaica Ave and Highland Blvd. It may not be safe for regular bus traffic. 2)There are speed humps on Highland Blvd. These are prohibited along bus routes. It would be a bad idea to remove them. Installing speed cushions to facilitate bus travel would encourage truck traffic. 3) There is no room for the bus to pull over. The MTA’s plan is to provide a stop at the “VERMONT PL/HIGHLAND PARK GREENWAY” but the road is one lane in each direction with guardrails lining each side along the entire length of Vermont Place. Installing a stop here would either require a costly redesign and destruction of parkland or have the bus come to a dead stop in the middle of the road backing up traffic.

Comment: It’s quite disingenuous for the MTA to claim that the discontinued Metro Ave branch of the B38 would be “served” by the two other bus lines that it currently connects with. The Q54 along Metro Ave and the B57 along Flushing Ave will not be rerouted to cover parts of this route should this proposed change take effect. This branch serves the “Linden Hill” section of the area, so named because it’s on a giant hill – one that’s difficult to ascend. It also serves hundreds of students at Grover Cleveland High School as well as visitors to Grover Cleveland Park and Linden Hill Cemetery. Eliminating it is just a bad idea.

Do u know if the B4 bus stop on 77th Street & Narrows Avenue is a "last stop" or just another stop?

I've got the homeowner who lives there bugging out about all sorts of typical "last stop" on the bus route activities in a very residential and otherwise quiet area.

I guess I'm wondering why do we need this stop here in the first place?

...
Is there a planet where we could move it to Shore Road?

Comment: Please do not limit X28 routes to/from Manhattan. It already is a wait for certain time tables as is, especially the 7:45-7:50pm from Broadway/Broome. As is the X28 line barely runs on schedule. If anything, a closer look should be had on how to have the buses make their already scheduled stops instead of cutting them entirely. Also the X28 stop in Dyker Heights/Brooklyn can also use a look at how to make their routes more efficient with the time table already made. As is - we barely have one every hour on the weekends - if it's not delayed or skipped entirely. Increasing, if not but keeping the same timetables as is and working on punctuality would be better than this proposed redesign for this line. (5-Days a week- X28 - 86th/12th - Broadway/Broome)

Comment: It is pretty disgusting you would move the two only Public bus routes that directly connect North BK B43 (Greenpoint) to the lower portion of prospect heights which brings you to prospect park in the east side. Then the B44 which is local for Williamsburg/ Bedstuy to the to Sheepshead Bay. How about actually holding people accountable for double parking in the bus lane or folks who don?t pick up in parking spaces or wait at hydrants etc. These bus routes are the only transit options for people between those spaces. All the trains are a minimum 10-15 minute walk and it makes the entire transit for folks with accessibility needs even more challenging. MTA needs to work with city district reps and need more public confirmation of how this will impact a majority of residents in these neighborhoods. Especially since these historically marginalized neighborhoods. It?s unacceptable that this is even on the table as an option to ?improve? public transit.

Comment: Hi Andy,

Thanks so much for the follow up. As I mentioned in our phone conversation, we have heard extensive concern from AD57 residents about the routes below, as well as the B38.
......
B52 - We have received lots of outreach particularly from parents at PS56 on Gates Avenue who are concerned that the portion of Gates Avenue next to the school is already somewhat congested and unsafe, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up, and they are worried it will not be able to accommodate the B52 because of this congestion.

Getting rid of that stop also makes no sense. Pease do not eliminate the Garfield and 7th Street stops on the B63.

Comment: I wouldn?t expect you to know the ins and outs of every bus route in NYC. But I want to make a plea to PLEASE keep the B2 bus and explain why from a personal point of view. As a person who is partially disabled, removing the B2 will be a great inconvenience to me and many of Marine Park?s residents. Especially if you reroute the B100 to Avenue R. That change would require me to walk two additional Avenue Blocks! I can?t. The walk to Avenue U is also long and the street is very dangerous to cross! Also, the subway stop at Avenue U has no elevator and it?s a local stop. So, in essence, the removal of the B2 would removing me from the ability to use a local bus at all! If ridership is down post pandemic, it may be due to the unpredictability of the B2. It runs infrequently and does not follow the posted schedule. I?ve often checked the app and found it to be completely wrong. Please reconsider the forgotten people of Marine Park. We pay our taxes too!

Removing the B8 would minimize our neighborhoods access to local public transportation increasing our need to use the family car. Please keep the B8 running!

Comment: It is important to add a bus route that goes from downtown Brooklyn into Manhattan especially if congestion pricing goes into effect. People with disabilities and people who are traveling with children need an alternate mode of transportation because the subway is hard to maneuver. There used to be a B51 or B52 bus that went from Boro Hall to Park Row via the Manhattan Bridge that made traveling much more accessible.

I'm from Poland and I was in shocked when I saw bus stops on every goddamn block, of course, buses are slow! If people can not do bus stops on every other block maybe they should have local and rush buses for the same routes. So local stops on all stops and rush go every other or every 2 stops... This way everyone gets their stops and people who would benefit from fewer bus stops still will get faster to work/school and they might be willing/able to walk to the rush bus stop...

Comment: NYCT President Richard Davey,

We want more efficient public transportation and safer streets. Therefore, we support the MTA’s proposed change to reroute the westward traveling B45 bus off of Saint Johns Place between New York Avenue and Rogers Avenue.

The MTA has cited the need for the change because this stretch of Saint Johns Place is too narrow for two-way bus traffic.  Eastward and westward traveling b45 are constantly stuck, unable to pass each other, creating delays for riders throughout the bus network and dangerous congestions for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. 

We call on the MTA to move forward with their plan for a more equitable distribution of the B45 route to improve its reliability, operation, efficiency and safety for our community. 

Thank you for your support.

I do live right at the Box St stop- so I notice that sometimes we have 2-3 buses here in the morning- and I watch as the scheduled times for departure get messed up. We try to take the 7:30 bus every morning- and we must be out there by 7:22- to depart anytime between 7:22-7:44. No consistency.

Comment: Hello, I ask that you reconsider redirecting the B-52 bus route along Gates Avenue. We are a family with two small children and we see many accidents every day along Gates Avenue. We have endless congestion and noise and have already advocate for traffic mitigating measures . There are existing bus routes running in the proposed direction on both Fulton Avenue and Greene Avenue, which are much better suited for the bus routes as they are wider streets and can handle more congestion. I asked you to reconsider and not route any buses along Gates Avenue.

Comment: Please do not eliminate the northern portion of the B103 bus route. As a Kensington resident, this is the bus route I use most often. It is the only direct way to get from Kensington to the southeastern part of Flatbush using public transit, and it is also the best way to get from Kensington and much of Flatbush (where I used to live) to northern Gowanus and Boerum Hill. I depend on it to take my son to after-school activities and to his pediatrician's office in Ditmas Park. My family uses it to go to the Flatbush Junction and connect to the bus to the Rockaways in summer, when we also use it to get to the kid-friendly public Douglas-Degraw pool. When I lived on E 23rd Street, it was the only practical way to get to many places to the west of Prospect Park, including my son's dentist office in Carroll Gardens. I have heard from other Kensington residents that they also depend on this bus. There is no other public transit option, now or in the bus redesign proposal, that provides service along a similar route.

Comment: Although I am just 1 person, the proposed changes to the BM4 Bus Route Eastbound and Westbound make will make it so difficult on my commute and life itself. I work in Tribeca at 388 Greenwich Street between N Moore and Hubert and currently get off on Church and Barclay and walk the office. Right now, not the easiest walk but do-able. Moving the drop off route to Water Street will make it so much harder getting to the office, therefore not making it an "easier" commute. If re-routed down Water Street I would have to get off at Battery Park and West Street or Pearl & Peck Slip and find a way to get down to the office. That's a long walk! As someone with a high level of anxiety the subway is not an option for me, as I am sure it isn't for other BM4 commuters, or else they wouldn't be taking the bus. I can't see how other fellow BM4 commuters could be happy with this proposal and I ask that you take all considerations into consideration. Thank you.

Comment: The new "re-design" of the Brooklyn Express routes is highly unacceptable and totally untrue about the low ridership of Coney Island/Seagate. There are always Coney Island/Seagate riders utilizing the current express bus routes X28/X38. This is such an inconvenience, an overburden, time consuming expense for the Coney Island/Seagate riders to go all the way to Cropsey Avenue to use the express bus as is being implemented by the new bus "re-design". I have been an express bus rider for almost 25 years and highly disappointed that the new plan does not take everyday hardworking Coney Island workers into consideration for the new express bus "re-design". This is absurd and totally inexcusable.

Comment: There needs to be a bus line along the Belt Pkwy. It would connect all routes that travel north south. Should have stops at every exit.

Comment: 3. Thought should be given to restoring X29 express bus service. Losing this option was a big setback for the disabled and elderly in the neighborhood. People who are making these decisions should actually use the bus services on a regular basis to be informed on neighborhood impact. Diagrams and number crunching & so called projected efficiencies don?t reveal the hardships some of these changes will make on people who actually live and work in these neighborhoods.

Comment: I don't want the 15 route to change. I currently use it in both directions from my stop at Ralph & Sutter up to Halsey & Marcus Garvey, as well as to the airport. Brownsville is already under served in many ways. This bus connects the community to jobs at the hospital as well as at the airport.

Comment: Good Afternoon, I hope all is well. I am sending this request because there needs to be a new bus line that takes inhabitants from the Canarsie area to Sutphin Blvd./ Jamaica queens. It is daft that Sutphin blvd is a 15-20 min drive from our area, but it takes 1.5 to 1.75 hours to reach there via the mta. Please establish a more efficient route that does not required civilians to take 2 buses and 2 trains to reach that area. There are many great schools in Queens that our children cannot attend despite their desire to do so due to the extremely long commute just to reach Sutphin or even Jamaica. This barrier is similar to the redlining of neighborhoods and perpetuates the disenfranchisement of our African American youth's education. Please give this serious consideration. Best, Ashley.

Comment: The B7 bus should not be extended to the Fresh Pond Road corridor. There is already significant bus traffic in the area as well as an east connection to the L train from the end of the existing B7 route. The extension of the route could exacerbate existing congestion, while there is already mass transit infrastructure.

Comment: I don?t think this plan was throughly considered . There are two schools that depend on the convenience of having the students board this bus at a stop that is monitored by the schools faculty. P.S 11 and Bishop Loughlin. These children will now have to walk two long blocks to board at Fulton Street. Also as a resident of Gates Ave for 65 years who?s seen the 52 bus rerouted for minor emergencies on Green Avenue cause havoc on Gates Ave. Another thing there are already limited parking available on Gates due to the large quantity of brownstones that now have multiple tenants, each with one or more vehicles. The quality of life is yet again being changed by public institutions who don?t reside in this neighborhood or have a care for any of it?s residents.

Comment: B46 ending at Woodhull is concerning- this would increase her travel time to get to the G train. There is a lot of traffic along Broadway. To get off and make a transfer would make things worse and would introduce a hardship for people

Comment: There needs to be a bus route through the Battery Tunnel between Red Hook and Lower Manhattan. This is one of the least connected areas. Work with NYSDOT to implement a bus-only lane (or at least an HOV-3 lane) in the tunnel so that the bus does not get held up in traffic.

Comment: Hello, I am writing to ask for the B52 bus to not be redirected down Gates Ave (removing it from Greene Ave). The street is already narrow and has trouble with traffic, there is very little parking already. Greene Ave is further from transportation, so it is useful to have a bus on that Ave.

Comment: The B52 bus proposal to move it to Gates Avenue would be horrible for the neighborhood. Gates Ave is much smaller than Greene and is already terrible for pedestrians with its car congestion. Please re consider.

Comment: I have heard that the MTA wants to discontinue/reduce the service on the x28 bus because of low ridership. I have been taking the x28 for the past thirty years. I live in what used to be called a two fare zone. I pay the higher fare so I do not have to take the trains. I have been noticing the lack of buses and service for the x28 line. I waited 35 minutes the other night (in the freezing cold) during the peak of rush hour for an x28 bus. I think this is a disgrace. The x28 bus has been jammed packed the last couple of months, a couple of times not even been able to get a seat. I also am getting older now, as are many people I take the bus with and are not able to climb two flights of stairs to get a train. I highly oppose cancelling or reducing the x28 bus service.

Comment: The b62 should not be on McGuinness for many reasons. First, people, especially elderly people use the b62 to get to businesses on Manhattan avenue. Manhattan & McGuinness are not that close for these people, especially if you consider the hauling of goods from the businesses on Manhattan Ave.

McGuinness is a very busy street and is easily backed up when a truck double parks. But people live on it and there is a school on it and the exhaust from the extra traffic of people idling bc they get stuck behind a bus is dangerous.

Also many people have been struck by vehicles on McGuinness recently and adding a whole bus route full of pedestrians, especially older pedestrians) is NOT the answer to solving that problem.

the b62 should remain on Manhattan Ave where it is a useful means of transit.

Comment: I do not agree with the re-routing of the B52 to continue onto Gates Avenue from Greene Avenue. Gates has school zones and mostly residential traffic. It?s a residential street that cannot easily accommodate mta busses without causing more traffic. People already have an option for buses in Fulton Avenue with us 1 block away- the B52 is needed on Greene and not Gates. Please do not change the current traffic pattern.

Comment: I rely on the B2 to go to work everyday. As many people in my neighborhood do. We also have numerous schools which use the b2. Taking this bus away would be a major inconvenience for working people, school children, and the elderly. We would have to walk in the cold, snow and heat. Out of our way to get to the b100 which is already overcrowded. It directly discriminates against the disabled by unfairly requiring them to be restricted in their movements. And businesses will suffer financially as customers cannot reach the many businesses the B2 passes. And real estates can no longer offer ease of transportation to sell homes. This change requiring the elimination of the b2 is a financial burden for our community and should not be considered for this line.

Comment: Are you planning to address the issue of the B68 not actually running every 8-10 min from Bartel Pritchard Square? The buses run fairly consistently towards BPS, but there can be multiple buses at the terminal stop @15th street and a new bus won?t come for 25-30mins, even during high frequency times. Also, the loss of the B103 express down 3rd Ave is a huge loss for residents in Ditmas/Kensington/Midwood. The new B81 route would take far too long from Cortelyou down McDonald for anyone looking for a similar commute, although being able to pick up a bus from 15th street toward Red Hook is helpful. Could the B103 stay with an adjustment to the B81 route?

Many of the Google Bus Directions are incorrect. I have often been stranded in Staten Island.

Comment: I?m writing as a resident who lives near the B52 and has a kindergartner at a school (PS56) on the proposed route change on the B52. It currently goes down Gates Ave and turns on Classon Ave. A large elementary and middle school is on Gates Ave past Classon Ave and would be dangerously impacted by the route change. Drop off and pick up would be extremely dangerous with a bus running down the block. The current route is a great route anyway and does not need to be changed. I urge you to consider the safety of New York City?s youngest citizens and please do not change the B52 to go down Gates Ave past Classon, it must continue as is, and turn on Gates.

Comment: Earlier today I suggested that the new B5 and B82 be based at Ulmer Park Depot plus return the B4 back to Ulmer Park. I am also suggesting that the B8, B9 and B68 be sent back to Ulmer Park depot. In addition, I would like to suggest that the B82 be redesignated as B2 since the old B2 is being replaced by the B100.

Comment: The x28/38 bus service has been cut way too many times to the point there are not even enough buses during peak hours. For most of the people on this line, other public transportation options are not close by. Canceling service to any stops during any hours will serve as a major inconvenience to passengers along the route! Not to mention this bus route is still utilizing the old buses. Please reconsider!!

Also, as far as Express bus service is concerned, has there been a demand for service to restore the x29, or the BM10, BM11, BM12 or BM15 formerly operated by Metro Apple Express or the two Erin Tours routes from Breezy.Point or Hammels which stopped at Kings Plazs?

Comment: I feel like there should be some in-person outreach on the redesign. According to data from the former Comptroller Scott Stringer in July 2019, 31% of Williamsburg/Greenpoint residents lack broadband internet access. This means that many possible bus riders are not able to participate tonight and have a voice in the redesign.

Comment: Removing the B38 bus stops at Lafayette / Grand Avenues and Dekalb and Ryerson would be a disaster for the over 1,000+ residents which it services.  There are 4 co-op buildings directly across the street (3 of them high rise) with over 300+ units in each of the high rise buildings.  There are many elder residents in those buildings as well as many disabled individuals. Do not remove those bus stops!

Comment: I would like to express my discontent with the proposal to remove the bus stop at 5th Ave and Garfield on the B63 bus line. 3rd St and Union St are far apart. If stops need to be removed, I?d recommend removing one stop between Union St and 9th St along 5th and then redistributing stops at equal intervals instead. Right now 5th Avenue gets incredibly backed up with traffic. Removing bus stops disincentivizes folks to take public transit which will only increase the amount of cars on the road. Please consider alternate ways to encourage more use of public transit to reduce traffic and increase speed/efficiency of the bus!

Comment: I really would appreciate not changing the B48. It's the only direct line through central Brooklyn north that doesn't require a mode or line change, and that's critical during off-hours when you're already waiting a long time for one bus or train and then having to transfer to another with a long wait.

Comment: The proposal to eliminate B43 service down Tompkins would drastically decrease quality of life for myself and my neighbors. Bed Stuy already suffers from lack of access to public transit. Eliminating this route would require even longer walking distances to access public transit, especially impacting people with disabilities and our elderly community. I take the B43 southbound to shop at Black-owned small businesses in the community, as well as to visit my partner who lives directly along the bus route. I fear that on days with bad weather or late at night, without bus service, I'd come to rely more on rideshare services to visit my partner that are more costly to me, and direct even more funds away from the MTA.

Comment: Hello: I am hearing chatter about major Express bus changes coming for the BM4. I would love to know who is in charge of making this decision? It would be greatly appreciated if they could speak to passengers. We live in a very remote area where there are not many options of transportation into the city. For many of us the subway is not an option. It is still a bus ride to the subway station and we do not feel safe. Cutting service or doing away with this express bus altogether is ludacris. As I state, this part of Brooklyn is extremely remote and we do not have any other option to get into the city. If ppl are willing to pay this fare amount ($6.75 per ride) then for what reason is the schedule being tainted with. I sincerely hope that there is a more serious approach to this than just doing away with services on the express bus especially during rush hours. Someone with a head on their shoulders should be figuring this out. They need to speak to the passengers/ride the bus to get human feedback,

Comment: Removing the B62 from Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint and putting it on Mcguiness Blvd would be terrible. McGuiness is already super congested. Manhattan Ave has restaurants, shops, doctor offices, pharmacies which are all easily accessed by the B62. McGuiness is also super dangerous to cross for the elderly and people with small children. Adding a bus route would make it so much worse.

I can't see how cutting those stops will save time on the route-- it will only increase rider agitation. Express bus riders already pay a hefty fare for the safety and convenience of the express bus.

Comment: It would be helpful to host a follow-up session. In the meantime, people could take a closer look at the proposed changes and better identify the implications these changes have for residents/riders.  Otherwise, this presentation lends itself to the perception of being a Pro Forma exercise. In short, it might be more beneficial to all to have a much more informed conversation (I, for example,  only heard about these changes last week through the proverbial grapevine. However, no one informed I could review in advance the PP presentation.

Comment: Rather than shortening the x27 to lower Manhattan dropoff why not extend the buses leaving before 6am to drop off people the entire route to 57th street. If need to cut back then reduce the buses to maybe the 515 am and the 540am rather than 3 or 4 buses taking off before 6am. I take the 531 bus from the first stop and i rely on this to get me to work safely without having to take the subway which has been not reliable for me and not safe. You will see wven less riders who will decide to drive into work to get to midtown if you cut the route before 6am.

Comment: Make the B42 ACTUALLY go to Canarsie Pier. Make a bus stop at the southern corner of the Canarsie Pier Parking Lot, a new terminus where the bus terminates. Right Now, buses kick everyone off at seaview ave, making for a long walk to the pier. OR, make the terminus a loop. Make southbound buses right off of Rockaway on to Seaview, then turn left onto E95th to service Canarsie Neighborhood at canarsie pk. Then make the bus continue onto Canarsie Rd, turn left onto Schenck St, turn right back onto Rockaway Pkwy, then service the Pier, TERMINIATE, then continue on regular routing to get back to Canarsie Bus Terminal. One other note, WHY END THE b42 ONLY at the Station? Extend the b42 from the Pier all the way PAST the Station north along Rockaway Avenue and (what it eventually turns into) Cooper Avenue all the way to Forest Hills Subway and LIRR Sta. Interborough, streamlining, effiency. Just why not?

Comment: Please do NOT remove the B63 northbound and southbound stops at 5th Avenue and Garfield Place. I'm a senior who lives on Garfield near 6th Ave., and I frequently take the bus to go shopping for groceries and other necessities. The redesign proposal would force me to walk three blocks more to a stop. I am only going to get older, and this will get progressively more difficult for me. Your proposal, sadly, would directly impact my quality of life.

Comment: The proposal to shorten the B103 and replace much of the limited route to downtown Brooklyn with more than one local bus represents a real degradation of service to this neighborhood.  It will increase the incentive to drive for the many people in this part of Brooklyn who have cars and it reduces connection to the business and government hub of the borough. People needing to get to Red Hook might be better served by the existing faster route with a connection to a Red Hook bus on 3rd or 4th avenue. Also, sending more buses along 9th street, which is very congested and plagued by double parking and is a major cycling route, will create safety hazards. In short, I think this is ill-conceived.

Comment: Hi there, I live within view of both the current and proposed B52 bus routes. I disagree with the idea that there are fewer turns involved in this proposed redesign- just turns in different locations. The new route will put buses on an area of Gates which has one elementary school (PS56), one middle school with schoolbus service (K351), one additional elementary school zone (PS11), and one intersection already badly in need of a stop sign/stop light (Downing & Gates, right outside PS56). Please ask the crossing guards of PS11 and PS56 what they think about adding bus traffic to their already busy and dangerous jobs (and already heavy morning traffic between these school zones). This plan is nice on paper but I would urge the MTA to walk this new proposed route at 8:30am or 2:30pm and see if they still think it makes sense!

Comment: The bus route redesign initiative is going to hurt those in North Bedstuy. Ending service on Lewis and Tompkins ave is going to negatively impact our ability to get to school, work, doctors appointments, pharmacies, grocery stores, and more. Buses are not the issue on the road. The gentrification and car congestion is. If anything we need more bus routes not less. Please do not take away these important routes in North Bedstuy. Many elders, families, and students rely on these routes. This is going to hurt low income people the worst. Please do the right thing and maintain service on Tompkins ave.

Comment: I understand the need for bus redesign. However the BM7C is the only option that would work for the citizens of Bay Ridge who live in the Shore Road area that utilize the X37 or X27 to travel to midtown Manhattan for business much of which is medical, as well as entertaining. For me, as well as many of the other senior citizens in this area, our medical doctors are in the midtown area serviced by the X27. The BM7 would not serve us to get to this medical appointments. To transfer from BM7 to another bus would afford much too much travel time for senior citizens. To transfer from the BM7 to subway would be impossible to negotiate subway stairs. Which leaves the BM7C as the only acceptable option for Bay Ridge as a replacement for the X27.

Comment: It is difficult to read the maps. It seems that the neighborhood along Church Avenue, between McDonald and OP is losing bus stops for the B103 and the BM busses. Crossing OP is dangerous and not convenient. I am also concerned about the B67 running often enough if there is no B69 in our neighborhood. I am 73 years old and rely on public transportation every day. The bus works best for me. Please do not remove the stop at E.3rd Street and Church Ave.

Comment: As a Garfield place resident , I completely oppose to the redesign of the bus 63 route eliminating the 2 stops at Garfield and 5th avenue , this line should not be turned into an express one for "speed and reliability purposes", but kept as a local one with many stops to serve people who have no other alternatives, the slow and invalid people , the families with children, who are reaching by bus their doctors and schools on a daily basis and can't access subways stairs and can't walk long distances to catch a bus at on other stop, or can't afford a cab. Thanks for your understanding.

Comment: B15 Lewis elimination. I am completely against this elimination since it creates a significant gap between the two alternative bus lines on Throop Avenue or Malcolm X Boulevard. I had surgery last year and have a handicap placard. I use the B15 but to get to the Flushing hospital stop and take the subway there (has elevator) to go to my medical appointments etc. The proposed elimination will have a very meaningful impact on my ability to access the city and access transit, as well as so many of my neighbors. Very bad plan and needs to be revoked.

Comment: My first thoughts regard the actual re-design of newer buses. Though the back door opening requires no pushed force to open as well as being comfortably wider for egress, the change in single seat formation seems so poorly thought out after a recent pandemic. By having people sit side by side facing the aisle, generates more germ ridden air flow as well as having people standing over them while having to stand during crowded times of day. Having these seats facing front also afforded a more pleasant ride being able to lean against and look out of the bus window. Quite unsure as to any sensibility concerning this change. In addition, reason for travelers boarding on back is due often to school kids just wanting to get home and being fully aware they will not get on the bus with the majority of patrons in the front. Do not believe total fare evasion is always the motivation here. That said, the often crowded environment coupled with some drivers? tendency to drive and brake a bit too fast, lends to an uncomfortable bus travel experience. Most bus routes are clearly quite, quite long.... so the maneuver is to create new interceding lines or increase the number of buses for certain routes... ie. B36, B49, B 68.

Comment: It is appalling to me that neighborhoods without subway service such as marine park that already have incredibly limited public transportation options are being targeted for reduced capacity. Not only should the B2 remain but additional bus service should be added between marine park and Brooklyn junction. Without the b2 residents of marine park including 1000s of students will be forced to endure terrible waits and crowded transportation and long walks. This is inexcusable.

This will eliminate crowds in the front of the bus, since seniors cannot climb the steps to the back. Takes more time to get off the bus. These busses should be used in senior communities at the very least.

My stop is fairly well used there tend to be a lot of seniors and it?s certain times of the day lots of parent with young children. I feeling is there is no speed and Fifth Avenue due to the restaurants outdoor sheds and a tremendous amount of deliveries that happened during the day. Public mass transportation should be for the public and convenient.

Comment: My mother is 85. She takes the B43 to church. The bus walk is two blocks, the redesign will add 4 long blocks to walk. A nursing home employee, who has mobile issues, use the B43 to commute home. This too will add burden to her by walking these additional blocks.

Comment: The rerouting of the B 52 bus line from Greene to Gates seems highly inadvisable. At present, the B52 continues down Greene and moves directly onto Fulton Street much nearer downtown. To reroute the Bus to Gates creates a number of problems. Gates is a narrow street and subject to traffic snarls already. The school at Gates and Downin has children coming in via car and bus already causing congestion. Any delivery stopping on Gates can make it impassable. On the corner of Washington is a church and when the church is open there are many cars seeking to drop off or pick-up passengers.. Adding another bus (B25 & 26 already struggle) on Fulton at Washington, where already many trucks are loading and unloading because of the Key food and other stores and Bodegas. The sharp right turn needed for the bus to turn on to Fulton needs only one car too far forward to cause serious delay. One the other hand, the entry of the B52 from Greene onto Fulton is smoother as it does not have to execute a full right turn and can blend into traffic more easily. This rerouting scheme needs reall-time consideration of existing traffic issues.

Comment: Hi! I'm very dismayed that you're proposing to alter the B103 to make it unusable to my neighbors and me. Many of us in the large buildings around Ocean Parkway depend on this wonderful route to get us from Church Ave to Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn. Many of my neighbors are elderly and will have to walk much longer to reach a bus that gets them where they need to go. Taking this valuable route away from us will impact our daily lives greatly. My husband and I frequently take the B103 from Church/E7th St to Livingston/Bond St and back home. And we often take it to 3rd St/3rd Ave as well. Is there any way you would consider keeping it as it is now? Thank you for your time and attention. - Mary

Comment: The elimination of the AM express bus service from 88th Street and Shore road creates an extremely hilly 2,230 foot gap between 92st and 83rd. This does not achieve the goal of the MTA?s desired spacing and target goal of around 1,000 to 1,320 feet per stop. Please do not remove the 88th street stop, this will be detrimental to my current commute.

Comment: I OPPOSE moving the southbound B43 bus to Marcus Garvey! Having it on Tompkins is great.

Don?t move it!!!!!

Comment: Removing the B2 from Southern Brooklyn would be a disaster for this working class neighborhood. This line is an important secondary line in this ?2-zone? neighborhood. Just look at the wait at the Kings Highway train station on East 16th street in the evening, or the crowds on the buses during school travel/work commute in the morning. Jamming everyone onto the B100 would make that line impossible to keep control of for the drivers and the riders. Please do not remove the B2 (at least on weekday). It would destroy this beautiful neighborhood.

Comment: I was considering the proposed Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Project during a particularly harsh, cold week in February, which was followed by a spell of rainy weather. It is profoundly disappointing that the MTA is considering the elimination of so many stops along the x37 route in Bay Ridge. I am not looking forward to walking in the cold, wind, rain, and sleet an extra three blocks to a stop where the line for the bus will be even longer and slower for boarding. This is not an improvement in service, and the inconvenience far outweighs whatever purported "efficiency" these measures will serve. Please do not decrease service or eliminate bus stops!!!

Comment: As a resident of 102 Gates since 2015 I am very concerned about the prospect of the B52 bus being re-routed along Gates ave. Gates ave is already a busy two way street. Cars, trucks and bicyclists all travel along its narrow passageway and I?ve already seen many close calls. Adding a bus to the corridor would just exacerbate these problems and inevitably lead to an accident. I hope you listen to the concerns being raised by the community and oppose this change.

Comment: I have been watching quite a few people getting on the bus without paying fare. I am sure the MTA is concerned about fare evasion but the fact that you have passengers exiting through the rear door, allows for people to get on without paying. I believe the reason for "exit through the rear door" is to avoid further delay at the bus stop. In that case, the MTA should plan for some kind of turnstile that you would only move outward. The loss from fare evasion contributes to fare spikes and that does not serve the general public. In the end, we are paying for those who do not.

Comment: Regarding the proposed BM4 express bus route change: I currently ride the 6:57 a.m. bus from BK to Manhattan and almost every regular on that bus, including myself, works for the state and the city. 95% of the riders get off on Church and Barclay Sts., while the rest of us get off at Park Row and Spruce St. because we either work for the NYS courts, the department of health or another agency. Rerouting the buses to only travel down water Street will make everyone stop taking the bus, and speaking for myself, thinking about leaving the unified court system to look for a hybrid job. In the last 3 years everyone's job has become incredibly difficult to say the least, but at least we had the bus. Now, we'd have to figure something else out because many of us are older and are afraid to take the train. Considering that every person pretty much on the bus works on Church Street or by City hall, having it go down water Street would be a tremendous and huge inconvenience to every person on board. Thank you.

Comment: Hello, I live in Clinton Hill Brooklyn and my family and I use the B38 bus extensively to get to work and school. The impact of getting rid of the DeKalb/Ryerson and Lafayette/Grand bus stops would be tremendous not only for myself and my family but for many others who are elderly and disabled that live in the neighborhood. For an area that is only serviced by the G train, which doesn?t go to Manhattan, having a bus that can take you to other trains, without a lot of walking adds tremendously to the vitality and quality of life in Clinton Hill. I hope the city will think twice about taking away these crucial bus stops. Sincerely, Megan Shand

Comment: Hi! I am writing in strong opposition to the MTA?s plan to reroute the B48 away from Greenpoint as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network?s Redesign. This route provides a crucial connection between Crown Heights and Greenpoint that cannot be found elsewhere in the transit system. If it were removed, significant portions of Western Crown Heights and Western Bed Stuy would be left without a transit connection to North Brooklyn. I regularly use this route to travel between Crown Heights and Greenpoint and would have no other way to make this trip if it were removed. The proposal also proposes cutting overnight bus service on the B48, which would leave sections of Brooklyn along this route without buses after midnight. As a frequent rider of the B48 during the day and at night, I am writing in strong opposition of the proposal to cut overnight service as well. I would have no other way to travel if these changes were made. Please restore the initial B48 route to Greenpoint and 24 hour schedule in the final draft plan of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign. Thank you, Mekisha

Comment: I?m a student at Leon Goldstein High School that is located on manhattan beach. I take the B1 bus route pretty much every single day. Service is often delayed, and extremely unreliable. In addition, the bus stops in Manhattan Beach are far away from the school. This adds an extra 10-15 minutes of walking, which often causes me to arrive to school late despite arriving to the bus on time. The streets near the school have lots of empty space where bus stops can be placed. I?m sure this would make it much more convenient for students that take the bus daily to commute to the high school and the community college.

Comment: Please keep the B103 bus route on Cortelyou Rd to Downtown Brooklyn. This route saves riders from having to take 2 trains to get to certain areas in Park Slope and downtown Brooklyn/Brooklyn Heights, greatly increasing commuting time. I use this bus frequently and on weekends to commute to work and to run errands in those neighborhoods. It?s an important line in the neighborhoods of Ditmas Park and Kensington, which have few bus options. Also certain busses on MacDonald Ave do not run on the weekends like the B103 does. When the Q and F trains are down for maintenance (which is fairly often for those of us who have to commute on weekends and off hours) this line is even more critical. Walking to Flatbush is not practical for people who live closer to Ocean Parkway, but walking to Cortelyou and Stratford is easily manageable. Thank you for your consideration.

Comment: I am completely against the changes regarding the B100 and B2 bus routes. Removing those buses/stops completely takes away my transportation to get to the B and Q station. Right now I have a stop for the B2 on my corner of Avenue S and East 36th. Your proposed changes means I would now have to walk almost a half mile to the next bus stop. During bad weather this is even more of an inconvenience.

Comment: The B2 bus CANNOT be retired. This would drastically impact commuters and children going to school. Also There aren?t enough b100 buses to support the amount of people in the marine park area. The B100 bus often just passes you by because there are already too many passengers on it. Marine park and mill basin are ALREADY a two fair zone. Why would you take away transportation

Comment: Please do not discontinue X37 bus service. This bus provides service to the population of Bay Ridge, specifically those workers who must commute from Shore Road and and nearby. Failure to provide this bus service will indeed cause many people to finally leave Bay Ridge and NYC in general. Not everyone can use the subway easily and not everyone feels safe on the subway. The express buses provide a safer option.

Comment: As a daily rider of the X28/X38 express bus, living neither near the eastward D train or westward R train, it would be devastating to the community for bus this route to become eliminated. The bus is packed daily with high school and college students and commuters. Most days, especially at peak hour, the bus is standing room only. Who made this decision? Are we expected to trek into Bay Ridge and utilize their already over-crowded bus line? This is a terrible, terrible idea for every age commuter in our community. Please do better. We should be ADDING stops to this route, not eliminating it!

Comment: Good day, I take the x37 and x27 to Manhattan from Bay Ridge each day. I am a teacher in Union Square. My closest bus stop is 88th and Shore Road. My limited mobility makes this the easiest option for getting to the bus. The stop at 91st is difficult to get to as the sidewalk is not paved (cobble stone) and is extremely treacherous in snow and ice. The express busses make it possible for me to continue commuting to Manhattan and doing the extremely important work as a public school teacher in NYC. Please don't change our bus stops.

Comment: I strongly oppose the elimination of north-south bus service on Tompkins and Lewis Avenues in Brooklyn. This is a route that myself and thousands of residents of Bed-Stuy rely on, in an area that is devoid of meaningful subway connections. There are almost zero ways to access other parts of the borough than these routes and any reduction in the space and access that they provide service to will harm both residents and businesses in the area. I strongly oppose this suggestion and urge the city to make other changes that do NOT eliminate service traveling these roads.

Comment: Hello, I am writing about the rerouted B52 along Gates Ave. I strongly oppose this plan for a number of reasons. This street is already very busy in the mornings with school drop offs and deliveries. It?s a tight street to begin with and large buses coming up and down would make commuting impossible. We already have lots of loud honking when someone can?t get around a parked car. Secondly, we already have limited street parking options. Greene Ave is the right place for the B52 bus route.

I rely on the B103 AS IS to get to sooo many places. All the best sports and healthcare for my kids are located along the route. My doctor. Connections to the F train. Don?t you dare screw this up. Make another bus route or build that air train thing on the unused rail tracks but DO NOT CHANGE THE B103!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know people do work in the Water Street area however how can you not have a bus continue to have a drop off near the World Trade Center area in morning as this is a very populated area for workers. Proof is that the Downtown - Mill Basin route in afternoon does not have any planned changes with the first stop continuing to be Church St and Park Place (WTC area) PLEASE do not change the current route in morning.

Comment: There is an issue with the no BM3 or BM4 service doing any part of the Westside downtown loop - even just during rush hour. There is no express service from the South Brooklyn area that will go downtown. Church/ Barclay Street area. I have a mobility issue and rely on this service. There would be nothing that takes me to or down Church Street. I can?t do the walk from Water Street. I am live near the F line where service doesn?t run on weekends, is overcrowded without handicap access. I can access the bus but not the subway. This is not a good reroute. The other stops can be adjusted but you need downtown Church Street Service.

Comment: I'm writing to voice my disapproval of the proposed changes to the B52 bus. I own and operate Locanda Vini e Olii, the restaurant on the corner of Gates and Cambridge. Since the pandemic, the majority of our business takes place on the sidewalk and in our Open Restaurants Street Dining Area. I do not want the noise, fumes and extra traffic affecting our business. The stretch of Gates Ave between Washington and Classon is much narrower than the current route down Greene. Often, its hard to pass other passenger vehicles in the opposite lane. I just don't see how there is room on Gates for two buses passing each other. It will not make the route faster, in fact, it will do just the opposite. All while affecting a local business that has been the center of this community for over 20 years. Please do not bringing buses to Gates Ave.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Extend, Extended travel times, Frequency
Comment: The following comment is in regards to the proposed changes to the B31. The letter does not
address the removal of stops, so I will briefly say: removing stops in order to reduce travel time
for a commute that ultimately lasts around 15 minutes is shortsighted and wrongheaded. It will
impact the ability of seniors to access bus stops, and overall make for a more cumbersome trip
for some in a community where mode shift needs to be encouraged. That being said, please see
the below comment:
Millions of New Yorkers rely on New York City’s buses, and the residents of Gerritsen Beach
and Marine Park are no different. The B31 is essential for our neighbors to get to and from work,
school, and recreation. However, for too long the B31 has been deeply unreliable due to issues
that are simple and solvable. Far too often, scheduled B31 buses fail to run, and when they do
run, they often run 5+ minutes ahead of schedule. The neighbors of Gerritsen Beach, and of
Southern Brooklyn at large, demand a better B31.
Firstly, B31 scheduled buses often never depart the station. There have been too many times
where our neighbors arrive early or on time for a bus’ scheduled arrival time only to never have
their bus arrive. These no-shows force us to wait up to 30 minutes, sometimes in the sweltering
heat, biting cold, or pouring rain, just to get the next bus. For example, the 12:40 PM Gerritsen
Beach bound B31 regularly never departs the station. This leaves riders, like the students at
nearby James Madison High School released at 12:18 PM, with the decision to either walk home
(which can be up to a two mile walk every day) or wait another 30 minutes in addition to the
time they’ve already waited. Even then, the next scheduled bus may fail to come too. While this
issue usually occurs outside of peak hours, it is not limited to just these times.
Secondly, B31 buses leave their stations far too early, often 5+ minutes, resulting in incredibly
long wait times for neighbors who have arrived early or on time for their buses. These massively
early arrival times across the route also result in the uncomfortable situation of being forced to
walk or wait up to 30 minutes for their next bus which may never come. This shift of mere
minutes can cause massive delays in riders’ journeys, especially those departing from the B or Q
trains at Kings Highway Station. These inconveniences can be solved by the drivers leaving at
their scheduled time instead of letting impatience get the better of them.
Additionally, the MTA should explore extending the B31’s service further westward in order to
expand connections and make it easier for neighbors in Marine Park and Gerritsen Beach to
access the rest of the borough. This would increase ridership and expand the line from one that is
used primarily to get to and from work and school, to one that can be used for a multitude of
purposes.
The issues above can single-handedly double the length of a commute and can be dangerous for
our elderly or disabled neighbors. We want to reliably be able to take B31 to work, school, and
for our outings. As it stands now, this is impossible. There is always doubt and worry added to
our commutes that can be cleared up with these simple solutions. Below are testimonials
gathered from residents about the B31’s impact on their lives: (Stored as seperate comments)

However, this means that the bus route is even further from the  Bay Ridge ferry terminal. There is currently no Citibike service to make up for this lack of service to the ferry terminal (Unrelated question - why do the drivers for the B9 change at 3rd Avenue?)

Comment: Bus service is going to be needed to the NY state operated Shirley Chisholm State Park at Fountain Avenue.  THE MTA needs to work with N Y State Park Agency to see if an alcove and terminal for one of the MTA bus routes to terminate here at 950 Fountain Avenue or of the NY State Parks will provide a shuttle bus route.   I belive there's going to be another section of this park located at 1750 Pennsylvania Avenue that would also be needed in the future as well.  Perhaps the NY State Parks Dept could provide funding to the MTA for this addiional bus service.   I remember in the back during approximately 2014 thru 2017 the National Parks Conservation Association was studing bus service to the Gateway National Parks area as they were previously Federal Parks which contracted with this non profit organiztion to look at bus service and other related environmental and transit issues.  I'll copy and paste their contact information below:  Lauren Cosgrove

Instead, the bus can make its turnaround at the wide intersection of Seaview Ave and East 85 Street-a short 2 blocks away ?as long as a traffic signal with a turning light is erected.The hours of operations-no mid day service and no weekend service. The B76 hours of operations remains an ongoing disenfranchisement of a huge population of the southwestern section of Canarsie.

Comment: I oppose this idea of b52 rerouting onto Gates Avenue. I live on this avenue and already have noise from the cars coming by, and the school?s non stop traffic from 7:30 to 8:30am and 3 to 5pm. With the added buses passing every 4 minutes, it will be chaotic, especially when the bus will want to pass by the school at those times. Ask someone from MTA to go to Gates Avenue when school starts and ends and they?ll see how cars double park on the street, making the bus unable to navigate smoothly. Keep b52 on greene.

Comment: - The road is extremely narrow as it is with 2 way traffic and I was hit by an oncoming car years ago, in the rain( the driver wasn?t looking) and it would be unsafe - the houses along Gates Ave are over 200 years old and the traffic would further their decline in a special part of Brooklyn with dirt, and vibrations - there are already two bus routes going both ways 1 block away on Fulton Street and also in Greene Ave - each is 1 block in either direction from Gates! - the C train entrance is 1 block from Gates Ave and the G train is 2 blocks from Gates Ave There are more than enough commuting/traveling options very close to Gates Ave. It does not make any sense to put a city bus on a narrow street in a historic neighborhood with so many other options for travel so close. I would think, with the budget shortfall, that needed bus routes would be placed in areas that are underserved in terms of transit options. Please reconsider this bus route.

Comment: I take the BM buses in Brooklyn. I think the plan to reduce service so drastically should be reconsidered. There are a lot of us who take those buses on a daily basis, twice a day as I do. I already have an eight block walk to my bus stop. I am 63 years old with arthritis in my knees and back. This would be an extreme hardship if I would have to walk further than I already do. My buses are mostly very crowded as it is now. If you reduce service, a lot of us might not have an alternative but to take the subway. It is just easier for me now in my advancing age to take the bus rather than the crowded subway, where people are pushing and shoving all the time. I implore you, to please reconsider some of your Brooklyn plans and not reduce service. Thank you

Comment: Please do not take away the B62 route along Manhattan Avenue. People going from Long Island City and Williamsburg to Greenpoint would have to change buses to continue their trip down Manhattan Avenue under the proposal. This is a big hardship for seniors, people with children, people toting bags, everyone. Less bus service on Manhattan Avenue is business unfriendly. Also removing stops and making distances greater between them makes no sense. I take this route a lot and there is no problem with the bus it is not slow it is efficient. It is also a great alternative when the G train is not running or a delay between trains, which is often. And I want to underscore the 62 is an important bus to our neighbors in Queens and Williamsburg. It works well.

Comment: We do not feel safe with a bus line going down Albany Avenue. It's used for emergency vehicles and this is congesting our safty response ability. There are also other reasons it's not a sound idea but if we are here to service the ppl. We need to be adults and acknowledge that we can't have it all, our location proximity is a prefernce vs. Safety which is a necessity. If you argue that it will be switched to a different street then 1) you're going to have to explain other safey concerns such as the schools on Albany ave. 2) The whole project seems not to be in line with the residents but perhaps the developers and I suppose they are the same developers who are trying to bring more homeless shelters to this area and then adding insult to injury over ride the community's saftey concerns with a bus route to service the homeless.( Not that I own a car my self or that I am homeless. There are times I use the bus and a first thought it sounds like gold but if you actually use those noodles in between your shoulders you understand thats it's worse than fake gold.

Comment: Please reconsider sending the B52 along Gates Ave instead of Green Ave before it connects with Fulton St. As a resident of Gates Avenue along the affected stretch, I know that the narrow Gates already sees heavier traffic than it can handle well, with semi-regular backups in the mornings. Keeping the bus on Greene Avenue or sending it to Fulton Street sooner would avoid contributing to that congestion.

Comment: How would changing the B62 to McGuiness Blvd help the "road diet" our community leaders are advocating for? Also, many senior citizens from Williamsburg who do not speak English have been taking the B62 (previously B61) to get to the shops on Manhattan Avenue for years. The blocks between McGuiness and Manhattan Avenue are very long.

Comment: As a resident of Gates Avenue and a parent to a young child, I'm very concerned about the rerouting of the B52 bus line from Greene Avenue to Gates Avenue. Gates Avenue is a much narrower street and there are many preschools and elementary schools on our street, including the Brooklyn Schoolhouse on 156 Gates and PS56 at 170 Gates, to name but a few examples. In September of 2021, in fact, a child was killed outside the Discovery Pitstop School on the corner of Gates Avenue and Vanderbilt. I believe that this change is dangerous and would negatively impact the community of Clinton Hill. Here is a link to an article about the fatal accident mentioned above: https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-infant-struck-crash-brooklyn-20210912-aulf2f3hqbfejedz2giuar2pzq-story.html

Comment: I have lived in Bay Ridge Brooklyn for 15 years and now have a family with a 4 year old and rely solely on the bus that leaves from Narrows Avenue, the b64 and the B9, to get my son to and from school. These route changes will effect many young children who rely on these buses to get to and from school. If the MTA follows through with its plans to eliminate service it will be paralyzing for a whole section of Bay Ridge- everything west of 4th avenue will no longer be receiving bus service. So, for our family, with a 4 year old, would have to walk 5 avenues, regardless of the weather, in order to access public transportation. It would be devastating to all of the young families who live West of 4th avenue... Moms I know in this area are in total shock and scrambling to consider how they will travel with their young children. I think the assumption is that people who live in this area have enough money to take cars everywhere. It's short sighted to think that although there are lots of big houses here, it is an area or renters. Most people struggle to make ends meet and those who actually own the houses don't actually live here. Please consider how families with young ones and the elderly will be able to get to the subway and other business locations in our area.

Comment: This ia a time to maintain current bus service and plan for increased service, especially in areas with large numbers of seniors. We must organize for a better public transit service where fares are deeply reduced. This will help reduce gasoline emissions low and sustain the city's growth and prosperity A city without an efficient transportation system cannot survive.

Comment: I would like to protest the shortening of the B69 bus route. The B67 and B69 are heavily used--my son takes them to commute to middle school. I would also like to protest the advertising of the overall redesign as an upgrade. It clearly means a cut to service overall. If budget cuts are necessary, please be honest with New Yorkers about it.

Comment: In touch with several schools, including PS 86, on Gates ave. They are concerned with the addition of the stop onto their street and how drop-offs will be impacted. Is the MTA concerned with traffic when developing the plan? If you don't live in this area, you may not know how bad of an idea this is. The street is narrow so it can't pass school busses. There are speed bumps that may pose challenges

Comment: I strongly oppose re-routing the B52 bus to run along Gates Ave. west of Classon/Franklin. I have lived on this stretch for 20 years, and chose it in part because it didn't have a bus route. This stretch of Gates is a quiet, residential street consisting mostly of townhouses rather than large or commercial buildings. It is already well-served by public transit on Fulton St. All my neighbors agree we don?t want a bus running on this street because of increased noise, fumes, dirt, traffic and parking issues. Meanwhile my neighbors on Greene Ave., who currently rely on bus access and include elderly residents with significant accessibility needs, do not want it removed. Finally, this small portion of the proposed route change does not even serve the MTA?s own stated goal of reducing travel time by eliminating turns because it adds as many as it removes, and because the added traffic buses would inflict on this already traffic-choked stretch will slow rather than speed bus service. If residents on Gates do not want a bus on their street and those on Greene want to keep it, this change would make no one happy. My suggestion: Keep the current path along Greene Ave. but turn south on Washington to Fulton as proposed; this keeps turns net neutral, avoids adding service on Gates where residents don?t want it, retains service for those on Greene who do want it, and still gets the west-bound bus to the C-train connection sooner, at Clinton-Washington. Thank you for listening!

Comment: Thank you so much for soliciting input. I just want to bring to your attention that from discussing this with many, many people, it seems we're talking about the B 52 straightening. I understand the logic when you look at it briefly of straightening and cutting out the Green Avenue short segment but bringing it over to Gates Avenue, that short segment there where I live is mostly row houses and quiet non-commercial. Narrow street seems to me that most people who live on that street don't want the bus there. And most of the people who live on green who currently rely on it, which includes bigger buildings, nursing homes, supermarkets and more commerce do want it to stay there. So I of course haven't taken a poll, but if that is the case and on Gates Avenue, we're al already very close to the transportation on Fulton. So we don't need it as much. Many of us don't want it. So I hope you'll consider that as well as the width of the street, which I haven't measured it but seems to be narrower than green.

Comment: The proposed elimination of the stop at Gerritsen Avenue and Avenue T (northbound) reduces accessibility while providing virtually no positive impact to bus travel time. This stop?s elimination leaves the next closest stops being Avenue U and Avenue S. While increasing the distance by this amount (one avenue?s length) between stops may be justified on a busier route, its elimination burdens the area?s elderly and/or disabled residents while offering no meaningful benefit. For residents who live near this section of the B31, the route is the only one that offers access to an ADA-compliant, elevator-equipped subway station (Kings Highway B/Q). For those residents, walking an additional avenue?s length is a burden. Meanwhile, the B31 is already a speedy route and is rarely, if ever, burdened by overcrowding. Most who board northbound are going to the Kings Highway subway station, so drivers have little reason to make stops unless picking up passengers. Since this section of Gerritsen Avenue has virtually no streetside parking, bus drivers have unfettered visibility and bypass stops when no passengers are there. I urge you to consider preserving the B31 stop at Avenue T and Gerritsen Avenue (northbound), as it improves accessibility for the area?s elderly and disabled at no cost to the route?s efficiency or travel time.

Comment: I have lived in the same apartment on Lafayette Avenue between Tompkins and Throop for almost five years, and the B43 on Tompkins is my most frequently used bus line. It is how I get to medical appointments, grocery shop, and commute to meetings related to work. I know many others use it for these reasons and others too, and eliminating this line would devastate the local community from Greenpoint to Prospect Lefferts Gardens as well as all the neighborhoods in between. This will only create more congestion, longer wait times regardless of bus frequency due to the sheer volume of people using the line, and make our neighborhood even more inaccessible than it already is. My closest train is a 10 minute walk and it does not go to Manhattan, so I have to transfer. This bus is one of the few direct ways I can get to where I need to go with minimal walking as I have injuries that sometimes prevent me from taking the train. Please don?t eliminate this line!

Comment: Elimination of the B2 line will stress an already busy commuting corridor in Marine Park. B100 busses are at full capacity by the time they reach Flatbush Avenue from Mill Basin and have to bypass stops on Fillmore Avenue. The overcrowding on the B100 is made worse when high school students use the bus to go to Madison High School.

Comment: Chairman Lieber, Janno

Greetings.  My name is Nicholas Napolitano and I am a typical 9-5 mon-fri public transit commuter.  Everyday I take an mta bus and hop on an mta subway to commute to and from work.  One of my biggest complaints however is the commute home for the mta bus.  In particular, you have 2 b41's, one designated towards King's Plaza, and one towards Bergen Beach.  I can't help but notice that their appears to be more King's Plaza busses compared to the Bergen Beach busses.  Yesterday (12/13/2022)  I walked out of the subway station and saw nearly 20 people waiting for the b41 Bergen Beach bus.  I had checked the MTA app and saw 3 Bergen Beach busses had already passed and was more than halfway done with its route.  How were there 3 busses for bergen beach all together and not even spread out throughout the route, and leaving nearly 20+ people behind?  I and many others continued to wait for over 30 minutes till the next b41 for Bergen Beach showed up.  The bus that showed up was crowded and not all of us we're able to make it on, leaving some of us stranded in the cold waiting for the next one.  Meanwhile plenty of b41 King's Plaza busses came and went.  I am suggesting an idea to resolve this issue.  Since the junction is a very busy area, why not have a limited b41 for both King's Plaza and Bergen Beach that start pickup at the junction.  Since it is the start/end of a busy train station, have an empty bus available for pickup everytime.  The bus would then complete its route much faster and be more readily available.  I hope you take this message with consideration as I speak for many New Yorkers trying to avoid the cold and make it home to our families after a long day of work.  Thank you for taking the time in reading this and have a great day.

- Nicholas Napolitano

Currently the buses are crowded in the morning and the frequency is around 25 minutes. This will cause over crowding the bus and also longer wait times when if you miss a bus.

Comment: In regards to the BM32 bus to and from Canarsie to and from Midtown, I believe the bus should start around 6 a.m. instead of the proposed start of 7 a.m. I currently take this bus in the morning and it is extremely crowded and I take it leaving Canarsie at 6:20 a.m. With making it later everyone who travels on this bus will have to take the BM2 that goes downtown and Midtown which would be over crowded and this one would be empty. I would like for you to review this change and have someone travel on the BM2 from Canarsie to Midtown on the 6:20a.m bus and revisit this timing as this will cause tremendous hardship on the current riders.

Comment: Hello, I’d like to comment on the proposed changes to the x27 and x37. I do not believe that service should be cut, no matter the ridership numbers. During late nights and weekends, these express buses save me over 30 minutes in my commute to and from Manhattan. I rely on these buses very much. There are a few reasons for this:1. I live close to Shore Rd, and the walk to the R train is not practical for me, especially during the winter.  2. They run reliably. As a woman, I do not always feel safe commuting by myself or waiting on subway platforms. I can keep myself safe by timing the bus’ arrival and waiting in nearby offices or stores. 3. R train service is very infrequent during late nights and weekends. N and D train service is often re-routed because of ongoing maintenance, leading to confusing subway patterns. It isn’t fair to reduce commuting resources for Bay Ridge residents while these lines remain so frequently in flux.I kindly ask the team assembled here to reconsider reducing service

Comment: I?m the marine park area of Brooklyn 11234 we are totally forgotten with public transportation. We have two buses to one train B2 /b100 they make 50 stops each. Takes almost 25 min to get to station. We pay the same as the rest of Brooklyn. There is no reason for us to be left out of good commuting.

Comment: Dear Sirs/ Ma'ams: There are many good aspects to your redesign of the B48, however, the best thing about that bus was going into Greenpoint, and being able to shop on Lorimor St. Although going to Downtown Brooklyn is intriguing especially going directly to CUNY Tech. But I implore you to please take it 1 step or 1 stop further and have it go all the way down from Sands St. to Borough Hall. That would open much greater access for students and other residents of Brooklyn. Thank you for your attention in this matter. Sincerely, Nora A. Santana. February 10, 2023

Comment: B38 the proposed discontinuing two stops  Ryerson/Lafayette and Dekalb/Ryerson would be devastating to over 700 residents, majority over 50% seniors  living in the two Mitchell Lama coops directly across street from each of these two stops. The seniors  rely on these buses to reach downtown Bklyn, where many medical services are, such as Bklyn Hospital and other doctors on Livingston, Montague & Court Street, especially during off hours. Please keep these two stops!

Comment: Unfortunately, I have to say that the bus schedule is terrible. There are no B11s for 30-40 mins, then Bus 376 with visible sitting and standing room speeds past the Campus Road stop without stopping for inexplicable reasons. Next, the B6 schedule makes no sense. There are no buses, then suddenly 6-8 buses in a row. The first 2 have actual occupants, and the other 4-6 buses serve perhaps 4-5 customers each. I have trouble understanding why a reliable distribution of the buses every 10-15mins is impossible, while sending a fleet of 6 buses in one go makes more sense (and leaves anyone who missed the bus convoy, stuck at the bus stop for another 20-40+ minutes). It doesn't look like we need more buses, we just need them more distributed.

Comment: Hundreds of AM rush hour commuters in Northwest Greenpoint, west of McGuinness, rely on the Northbound B32/B62 bus to get over the Pulaski Bridge to Queens 7 train. This redesign removes EVERY nearby stop to Queens, except McGuinness Av/Freeman St! That stop is barely accessible across the busy Pulaski Bridge highway. All residents north of Green and west of McGuinness will have to go further south than the bus stop to cross at Green St, the northmost crosswalk across McGuinness. Furthermore, the bridge's pedestrian path is on west-side; if commuters miss the bus due to the longer walk to the stop, they have to re-walk south again to re-cross McGuinness Ave at Green Street in order to walk over the bridge, adding insult to injury. These changes could seemingly add up to 20 minutes to rush hour commutes, decreasing property values and community trust in MTA's ability to serve a high-density residential neighborhood. A solution could be adjusting B43's northmost terminus to be Jackson Av/11 St in Queens. Perhaps it could turn right on Box, right on Provost, right on Freeman, and right on Pulaski Bridge. (I posted this comment on the Bus Redesign map, but I can no longer view comments, so I wanted to make sure this important feedback didn't disappear).

Comment: This stop need to remain for elderly residents in St James Towers complex. Red light sequence and single lane traffic only slightly adds any addt travel time. Perhaps "compromise" aka money grab could be a PT bus stop days 7am- 11pm which would then allow nighttime parking spots to be recovered by resident- and revenue for city when those cars aren't moved subsequent morning..

Comment: Both the X28 and the X38 express buses will no longer have stops on the peninsula.  Though the ridership on these routes from Seagate and along Surf Ave currently is very low, the recently completed Ocean Dreams complex (+500 DUs) and the numerous upcoming developments (+2000 DUs) along Surf Ave from Stillwell Ave to W 20th St may warrant a stop in the area; more so knowing the Coney Island Ferry will not be pursued.

Comment: I urge the MTA to reconsider their changes on the B43 and B15 bus lines. These two buses serve the Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights area by running along major streets that services many business owners, commuters, and consumers. Moving these bus lines to different streets will eliminate convenient access to these places. Furthermore, there are many elderly and young children who depend on these bus lines to commute to and from important places, such as daycares/school, their hospital and caretakers, and home. Such a change would be detrimental to them, especially in colder weather where people already stand outside and wait for the bus. There are other ways that the Brooklyn bus service can be improved but this is not one of them. Thank you for your time in reading this.

Comment: There are two local buses that currently serve my stop Bayview/36 Street; the B36 and the B74. You are planning to remove this stop in both bus routes and that is unacceptable. The bus service is limited already in this area and this removal will be detrimental to this area since there are no other forms of transportation in this side of the Peninsula. As for removing all stops of the Express bus (BM38) in Coney Island, it adds to the lack of access to the city in Community Board 13.

Comment: Now more and more people returning to their offices in Manhattan. Cutting the stops in the Bay Ridge and, even worse, cutting service of bus x27 in Manhattan before 14th Street (the popular area) is ridiculous! Especially, at the time when people try to avoid dangerous criminal situations in the subway! These changes will drastically reduce the quality of life of many residents of Bay Ridge neighborhood and absolutely unacceptable! I hope that MTA will keep the current schedule of our bus x27 and don?t put our residents into the horrible situation! Than you! Olga

Comment: Removing the B1, 2, and 3 from Cortelyou Rd will be disastrous. So many of us in the neighborhood rely on these busses to get to work, and they are already jammed pack by the time they get to Cortelyou (which is the last, or almost last, stop in Bklyn). If service is reduced to only the B4 on Cortelyou, there will not be enough seats available for all of the commuters who get on on Cortelyou. Also, the B103 is the only bus in the area apart from the b68. It?s the only way to get to the Junction or 4th Ave, and the only way for many to get downtown (especially those who are handicapped and can?t ride the Q).

Comment: The B 2 is vital to Marine Park, Brooklyn. The Marine Park area is chronically underserved with poor local and express bus service.. The elimination of the B2 will contribute to increased communter costs associated with taking 2 buses and a train to Manhattan. Additionally, the B2 provides access to Kings Plaza from the Q and B lines. Political and governmental agencies do not reach out enough and engage the people who really need better bus access .

Comment: Your plane to eliminate the B2 bus is a bad one. There are many blue collar workers that rely on that bus. My son is one of them. He works an overnight shift which means he would have to walk further to get the bus. The MTA tried this a few years back on weekends. That did not work. How would people in Marine Park get to Kings Plaza. They would have to walk from Avenue T and Flatbush and cross that avenue. I am a driver and I take the bus to the mall to avoid parking fees.

Comment: Not sure I understand the B69-B48 swap, especially with no increased frequency on either. The B48's current one-seat ride to Greenpoint is an ok tradeoff for the long average waits, but the proposed route suggests Greenpoint riders should transfer to/from the G at Classon, adding more wait time (at a non-ADA subway station) to people's journeys. The new destination to DTBK doesn't add a lot since much of the Washington/Classon territory already has good connections to downtown.

Also, for these long trips to North Brooklyn, the B69's Park Slope territory already has better access to G, so the one-seat ride is not as valuable.

I know beyond peak hours it drops off considerably but I have been on the bus going pass the junction and it still carries a considerable amount of passengers while still picking up more passengers along the route. There are individuals that would rather have one ride instead of the transfer. Thanks.

Comment: Please do not discontinue X37 service. The subways are not a safer option for some and this bus provides a safe and reliable option for those who must commute. Failure to provide this bus service will result in many commuters leaving Bay Ridge or NYC in general. We feel our voices are not being heard. The subways are not safe, no matter how many police officers they say they will put on the rails. Still haven't seen much improvement.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): New route proposal, Layover/terminal location
Comment: We’ve received another request from our ped unit to swap the western terminals of the B45 and B63 to reduce a number of complicated turns at Atlantic and Flatbush for safety. Summary below:
 
The B63 and B45 swap western terminals. The 63 would now go to DTBK utilizing Flatbush and Livingston and the 45 would go to BBP on Atlantic.
-This would allow the B45 to travel continuously down Atlantic between BBP and Washington Ave, eliminating the sb left from Flatbush onto Atlantic (which operators apparently don’t utilize, opting instead to turn right onto 4th and left onto Atlantic) as well as the nb right from Atlantic to Flatbush.
-For the B63, this would eliminate the nb left and sb right at Atlantic and Flatbush.
B65 remains unaffected (although MTA is also proposing a reroute for it down Atlantic as well).

Comment: The B52 route was moved to Gates Ave from Greene Avenue west of Classon. This takes the bus route directly past a Pre-K to 8 school, PS56. The corner of Gates and Downing, where the school is located, is extremely dangerous as currently designed, there is no stop sign or stop light. I have no problem with the bus route as long as we get a stop light at the corner of Gates and Downing. Otherwise it is unsafe to add additional traffic here.

Comment: Whoever made the Greenpoint portion of the Brooklyn bus proposal must have no familiarity with the neighborhood. New buildings are going up everywhere in Greenpoint and with mass transit already inadequate, this proposal would cut transit options! Appalling. Why doesn't the MTA actually consult people who live here before making such bad proposals. First, changing the B62 from a local on Manhattan Avenue to an express on McGuiness Boulevard is wrong across the board. Greenpoint has many seniors and others dependent on buses to do their shopping ? Manhattan Avenue is the "main street" and commercial core of Greenpoint. By removing the B62, you've cut the bus schedule by half and made life harder for those depending on existing B62 service. Second, the B62 is also convenient to access the L train at Bedford Avenue, especially given the unreliability of the G subway line. So you've taken away mass transit for another set of people by reducing stops. Third, McGuiness Boulevard is three blocks away from Manhattan Avenue, and thus is further away from most of the people using it. Fourth, McGuiness Boulevard is a dangerous roadway, so those with difficulties walking will have had it made more inconvenient and difficult to use the B62, should they still be able to use it to get to a destination. So there are four ways that changing the B62 is bad. There is no good reason to make it. This change needs to be reversed immediately. Greenpoint needs more transit options, not less.

Comment: Hello, I want to express a strong opposition to the proposed changes to x28/x38 bus. We live at the most West side of coney island and on each block a new high rise buildings are popping up weekly with plans to build even more. We don't need to eliminate stops we need to add more and better express bus service to coney island segate area to keep up with growing population. I welcome you to take a walk around coney island and see how many new residential buildings she being buid. My daughter is taking express bus daily both ways from seagate to go to high school in Manhattan. Including occasional trips on the weekends. Eliminating seagate stop on express bus will be a disaster. And will mean I will need to drive her to besenhust stop or subway 2 x daily causing more traffic and pollution. If this city is serious about climate change and eliminating unnecessary car driving it must keep existing and add even more express bus times to the area. Additionally we hoped for coney island ferry that could have served as an alternative to express bus service but that project is now dead. Please do not cancel coney island / sea gate express bus service 7 days a week.

Comment: Please do not alter or eliminate the route of the B43 bus. This route is a critical link between Bed Stuy and Crown Heights. There are very few transit options for getting between these two densely populated areas. With no subway links, we need good busses! I take the B43 to get to work every day and really don't know what I would do without it.

Comment: This proposal could eliminate the B49 and B103 buses. Two crucial bus routes for Flatbush and East Flatbush and Canarsie. We are extremely alarmed in my community which is already underserved. Our resources are already sparse and limited, we cannot afford to have bus services reduced for students and for the many residents that depend on these lines as their source of transportation. It?s an absolute no for me.

Comment: 1. Elimination of the B69 (without increasing B67 service) limits access for Kensingtonians to the 7th Avenue vicinity of Park Slope. Both seniors and school kids use that bus, and when I use it in the mornings, it's packed. It is a fairly long walk to get from the subway at 7th Avenue/9th Street to say, Carroll Street, so that's not really an alternative for some people. 2. Cuts to the B103 Limited bus route eliminates fast and somewhat pleasant transportation to both the west/central side of Park Slope as well as downtown Brooklyn. 3. Reduction of service of the B68, which runs from Bartel-Pritchard, down Prospect Park Southwest, then down Coney Island Avenue is really painful to think about. There are no transportation alternatives to that route, and service should be increased, not decreased.

Comment: To Those concerned with the quality of life of those not considered, It is unfair and inequitable to burden residents near Nostrand Avenue with more traffic, density and garbage. Nostrand Avenue between Empire Boulevard and Lefferts Avenue has been, and is notorious for violence and crime; all of the data supports the voluminous and increased crime in this specific transit corridor. There are two (2) banks, a post office, train station, two (2) illegal smoke shops and an already crowded commercial strip. It is not fair to reroute the B49 traveling south on Bedford Avenue to Nostrand Avenue and Empire Blvd headed south. If you insist on this proposal my community all agree that you must install bullet proof windows on the B49 buses. That additional funds for DSNY to clean the streets and sidewalks if this proposal comes to fruition (God forbid) for the the increased garbage and density of even more traffic and pedestrians. Please, why not reroute the B44 to Ocean Avenue or leave it as is? The Community adamantly disagrees with this proposal. Thank you for the consideration.

Comment: As a resident of Sheepshead Bay, I commute to work in City Hall Monday to Friday by using the express bus BM3, downtown loop via Church Street. I commute via the express bus because it is the safest and most direct way to get to work. The bus stop I arrive to is Park Row and Spruce Street, one that is a quick 5 minute walk to work. The Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign would include removing this stop as well as all nearby stops that are within a half mile away from my work building. The new nearest stop would be a 15 minute walk away. This creates a hardship, especially during inclement weather. Please reconsider removing the Park Row and Spruce Street bus stop as many city employees who work in the surrounding areas commute via the Brooklyn express buses. We pay a total of $13.50 per day (almost 270 per month) to be able to ride these express buses and at the very least, I would expect to not have to walk 15 minutes to have to get to work.

Comment: Please don't terminate the B61 at Bartel-Pritchard Square. Tons of neighborhood families use it to get their 3 & 4 year-olds to K280 for preschool (the school is located at 20th st & PPW; it serves 450 kids). Most families get on the bus well before Bartel-Pritchard Square. Transferring to the B81 would be inconvenient & time-consuming for these families; walking those 0.4 miles would be REALLY difficult with an unwilling toddler.

Many families in Flatbush and Kensington use the B68 to bring their children to schools, sports leagues, and summer camps along Coney Island Avenue and in Prospect Park or near Bartle-Prichard Square. In the summer the bus is always packed with parents and children making this commute and wait times are unpredictable. It is common to wait over 15 minutes, and then have 3 B68 buses show up back to back.

Comment: I am upset to hear there is a consideration to shorten the B103. It is my absolute favorite bus and it's the primary way I can get from Flatbush to Kensington and Park Slope, given the poor train connections. The proposed changes would lengthen those trips significantly as I would be forced to transfer buses and deal with local routes. Given the fact that there is not a good direct train connecting Flatbush to the west of Brooklyn, I'm extremely surprised and concerned by the choice to remove the express option to get around the west side. Please reconsider this decision.

Comment: I do NOT want MTA buses on Albany Ave as proposed (Albany Ave between Eastern Parkway and Empire Blvd). I live in this area and my kids walk there every day to and from school. A new bus route will exacerbate the current traffic congestion and increase unsafe driving on all parties. That is especially unsafe for children. In addition, new citi bike racks were just installed there this morning (albany/carroll). This is a one lane street! Adding both bikes and city buses, in addition to the regular traffic and school buses, is not safe!

We have limited public transportation in our area. There are also riders who live pass McDonald near Caton. Caton and McDonald is the first stop after Manhattan.

Comment: This is not specific to your plans but I want to mention the absolute madness when the B54 going downtown reaches MetroTech and has to make the circle before moving along to Jay Street. I've seen drivers have to wait until parked and double parked cars move. Once, passengers were advised to get off the bus if they wanted to get to Jay Street. The driver had to wait until a Coca Cola delivery truck driver returned. I feel sorry for any driver that has to navigate that circle. There are no parking signs all over but no one is paying attention.

Comment: The B2 is heavily relied upon for people in the Marine Park neighborhood like myself. During school times, I and my neighbors avoid the B100 due to the Madison kids and greatly prefer the B2. The B2 also provides a valuable hub to Kings Plaza from the train station and from the Marine Park neighborhood, which gets slighted by the MTA so often. Removing the B2 would make the already crowded B100 a much worse experience (even with the proposed increase in frequency) and I know for a fact I will start driving instead of using the bus. The removal of so many B100 stops within the Marine Park neighborhood would also be felt very strongly with the removal of the B2. We need the B2. Please reconsider the removal of the B2.

Comment: Hi, I've been a Ditmas Park Native for over 15 years and thought it would be useful for the redesign team to reconsider some things. Firstly, I am in a group with over 12,000 residents in the neighborhood and we all have had an issue with one specific bus stop that causes a lot of problems and should be addressed. On Cortelyou Road & Coney Island Avenue the B68 route to Coney Island/ Stillwell Ave should be removed. Here's some reasoning behind our decision. 1) The traffic light is located 200 feet before the intersection. When there is a lot of traffic, sometimes the bus will stop in the middle of the intersection before continuing on, which can cause delays for other vehicles that have the right of way. 2) the traffic and layout of the street makes it difficult for buses to navigate and reach the Cortelyou Road bus stop. This can be frustrating for passengers who rely on the bus to get around. One potential solution to this problem could be to relocate the bus stop to a location that is easier for buses to access. 3) Something else to consider with the B68 Cortelyou Road Bus Stop Going towards Coney Island is that area is full of commercial businesses with very high large truck traffic. To walk to that specific bus stop can cause potential risks that can simply be avoided by removing that bus stop. smaller vehicles are able to go through the big trucks easily, however with a bus, it is more harder. In all, We hope you consider this as we the people who first hand experience this. By Removing the B68 Bus stop on the corner of Cortelyou Road going towards coney island / stillwell Ave will not only help move traffic more smooth, it will also minimize delays with pick up / drop off passengers. While it is important to consider the potential risks associated with walking to a bus stop, it is also important to consider the potential benefits of having a bus stop in a convenient location for people who rely on public transportation to get around. It is possible to mitigate the risks associated with walking to a bus stop by implementing measures such as relocation. Please consider, and to further contact me please email me at [email protected] i am also open to publicly speaking on this case and how it may be helpful.

Comment: I have been taking the X28 to and from work for over 10 years now. with a hybrid work enviroment now- i go into my office at different times and days. I also frequently take the bus to manhttan in the afternoon and weekends to see friends in manhttan or work. while the bus is more expensive than the subway- i take it for convience- the subway is over a mile away. most times it is much faster and most importanty safety. Please do not eliminate the serivce after 12pm into manhattan.

Comment: Eliminating the Limited B38 is a good idea bc I catch the B38 at a local stop and 2 - 3 Ltd B38 will go pass me b4 a local B38 comes. Please keep accordion bus on this route. I don't think it is a good idea to eliminate the DeKalb and Ryerson and the Lafayette and Grand stops bc you have 3 apt buildings near those stops.

Comment: This plan severely diminishes service in South-east Brooklyn neighborhoods (Marine Park/Mill Basin), which already have inadequate service as it is. There is no subway system in those neighborhoods. WE RELY ON OUR BUSES. We need additional bus service in those areas, not less. -BM4 needs more frequent service and should continue down trinity/church st in nyc for drop-offs. Why would this be rerouted down Water st? There are no connecting subways on that route. This would cause a decrease in ridership and negatively impact the MTA as well as it?s riders B2 cannot be removed. B100 is already jammed with commuters and students Service in South-east Brooklyn should be looked at with more scrutiny with regards to this plan. It is not taking into account the fact that service is already not sufficient. Decreasing the service and not making smarter stops/drop-offs would be detrimental

Comment: The express buses that serve bay ridge and dyker are essential For us to commute to work. I personally live on shore rd and would have to walk to 4th Ave and 86 to catch the r train to them transfer to 3 different train to get to work. With the express bus I am able to basically go door to door . I have happily paid the higher fare of the express bus for the blessing of having an easy and more importantly a safe commute to work. Realistically safety is a major concern nowadays riding the subway and the express bus X37/X27 gives me the safety I deserve as a tax payer. Please consider us that have never asked for lower fares and have rose the express buses and paid throughout the whole pandemic while the rest of city was riding for free. Our voices matter, our paying voices .

Comment: I live in Ryerson Towers in Clinton Hill. I agree with Nathaniel about keeping the bus on Green Avenue, not moving it to gates because that gives alternatives from the B 38. If we have a problem with the B 38 coming down on Lafayette, we usually walk to green, which is two blocks and also about the three B 38. Someone else in rising Tide was talked about. I'm 40, I'm I'm ambulatory, but for the AM non ambulatory people in the community, it causes a challenge if you remove the grand stop on both DeKalb and Lafayette. That's all

Comment: Hello. Hi, my name is Heather Spencer and I also live in and Towers. I am one of the board members here and we have three, six units and a lot of shareholders that take that Ryerson stop. We also have Pratt Institute, which is a very large college. That stop is right by that school. We have up two other big buildings. When you move that stop, you are alienating a lot of people because they have to walk to classroom or they have to walk to Washington. That's a long walk. And when people are trying to go to work, that takes away from it or when it's cold or when it's, there's a lot of issues. Also on the 52, the same situation. It has nothing to do with the two fares. The 52 is a good option when there's problems on the 38. And there is a lot of problems on the 38 with lateness sometimes. So we need both buses cause we have enough people riding them to pay transit. We do put a lot of money into those stops when you see the ridership. So those stops are needed Green Avenue and we need the R and the Grand Avenue stop to stay the way.

Comment: This is regarding the proposed changes for the X28 bus. Please do not reduce the availability of this bus. As it is there are times when the bus does not run and at times I very much depend on this bus. I especially need it when I have something that is too heavy or cumbersome to lug up the stairs for the elevated line. I also feel much safer on the bus compared to the subway.

Comment: Wanted to give some feedback about Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn.   Recently I have noticed more private cars driving on the street.  I noticed bus transit signals in Queens, I believe that these could be implemented on Fulton St to provide better indication to drivers that they MUST turn at certain intersections.  Today there are intersections that have green traffic lights for the busway which may confuse drivers or allow them to bypass most street signs.   By having turning arrows for cars in Red/Yellow/Green drivers will have to follow that signage, while busses can utilize the Bus transit signals.

Comment: Hi, we need more BM4s running. Out neighborhood depends on that bus to get to and from work and there is just not enough BM4s. Also, the BM4?s route should be redesign to make less stops in Brooklyn; some of the stops like on Courteyou Road is unnecessary as those areas are serviced by the Q line.

Comment: Please reconsider the proposed changes to the X28 route, the only reason I moved to Dyker Heights is to avoid getting the subway into the city. The subway is not safe for women traveling alone, leave the bus routes alone until the subway crime is solved. Dyker Heights is isolated without the express bus,which is full at 6:51 with workers and school children.

Comment: NYCT President Richard Davey,

We want more efficient public transportation and safer streets. Therefore, we support the MTA’s proposed change to reroute the westward traveling B45 bus off of Saint Johns Place between New York Avenue and Rogers Avenue.

The MTA has cited the need for the change because this stretch of Saint Johns Place is too narrow for two-way bus traffic.  Eastward and westward traveling b45 are constantly stuck, unable to pass each other, creating delays for riders throughout the bus network and dangerous congestions for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. 

We call on the MTA to move forward with their plan for a more equitable distribution of the B45 route to improve its reliability, operation, efficiency and safety for our community.

Comment: BM3 and BM4 Express Bus Service in Brooklyn is needed to stop at Church Avenue and East 7th Street by Ocean Parkway to and from daily during rush hours and also at other times. I have been riding these busses for 20 years and this stop is important for so many people. I am upset to learn there could be a change.

Comment: I am so disappointed to see the proposed elimination of the B103 above Brooklyn college. My son and hundreds of other students at Midwood and Brooklyn college use that bus to get to school daily. The B35/B41 are so slow and takes him nearly twice as long as the b103. The subways at that junction do not come anywhere near our neighborhood and the b103 is the only direct route. (We are in Kensington near east 4th and church ave). Please do not make an already slow commute so much harder for these kids.

Comment: The plan proposed for Brooklyn would cause undue hardship on the elderly and disabled. Being disabled makes it difficult for me to have to make numerous connections, and would cost me much more. I rely heavily on the B2 bus to do my shopping, banking, medical appointments. Without the B2 the closest stops would be 3 to 6 blocks away a difficult feat for a handicapped person with a walker. These changes would negatively impact my life as well as those in similar situations or with young children. Our city needs more buses not less and the elderly, handicapped or people with children will suffer needlessly.

Comment: Eliminating several bus stops will create a serious problem here in Coney Island.The 74 and 36 bus is a problem as it is now. Sometimes we have to wait as long as 45 minutes for the 74 just to get to the train station at Stillwell avenue. The 36 is always so late that when one does come the driver is unable to pick up passengers along the causing him/her to bypass busters. Then there are 2 to 3 buses coming at the same time, people are late for work so they have to take the green cabs running along Mermaid Avenue having to spend extra money, I think this is very unfair to the people in this community another big problem is when the 36 bus gets to Surf Ave. and 37th street, most times passengers are told that it's the last stop or that the bus will not be continuing along 37th street. Please think of the safety of individuals as they wait at a dark and lonely bus stop for another bus. There are a lot of new apartment buildings going up, what is the people who must use public transportation to do. Please consider these suggestions.

I would like to see the bus run more frequently; it's barely adequate during rush hours and leads to unsafe waiting conditions during off-peak hours, because the wait is so long. Thank you.

Comment: Hi - I wanted to write in with feedback about the proposed change to the B48. Currently, that bus line is the only decent transit option to get from Prospect/Crown Heights up to North Brooklyn/Greenpoint. I personally ride it very frequently, and the proposed change would really impact by ability to travel in that direction, without offering up any alternative option for traveling between those two points. My hope is that we keep the B48 service as-is to avoid disrupting the travel options so many folks rely on.

Comment: Consider shifting the northbound B13 up Doscher Street to put it one block closer to the subway, and to remove an extremely tight turn in the process of getting to Liberty Ave & Crescent St. I don't know if DOT has changed the traffic lights at Liberty/Crescent but last I remember from years ago, it stays red on Crescent for a very long time, so unless you're introducing transit signal priority here, this reroute would also avoid that very long red light.

Comment: What is happening to the bus line on Bedford? The B49 is how we get home late at night and bring home groceries after shopping. It's the closest bus stop to our house.

Comment: Moving the bus route means being denied access to any bus service unless I walk 15 minutes. In a city that prides itself on making it easy for people to move around without cars this proposed idea does not seem to be in line with this vision. ESPECIALLY as the next closes bus service running on Nostrand Ave is moving to Rogers Ave. This is also damaging to seniors who were abe to be independent and get around safely without to much walking. 1- Albany Ave is already used by many truckers that deliver food to large grocery stores . 2- There is school located on Crown and Albany. Having city busses go down an already narrow street when parents are doing drop off and pick up is asking for an accident to happen. Who is responsible if a child gets crushed under a city bus? At this time the school is doing a big expansion to serve the growing needs of the community, this project is estimated to be completed at best in summer of 2025. Right now the sidewalk is taken away and a temporary sidewalk was created to accommodate the machinery that is is needed for a project of this size. Where is a bus route supposed to fit in an already narrow Avenue? 3-Is the MTA aware that a MEGA SIZED supermarket is approved in the plans in the lot they are doing construction on next to 580 Crown street 4-Albany Avenue is already used by the Fire Department, and ambulances as their quick-direct route south toward the hospital. Can precious minutes be taken away from those saving lives?

Comment: Hello, I disagree with the rerouting and changes to the B48 bus. This bus line is the only direct route from Crown Heights to some parts of northern Brooklyn. We use this line all the time to get to Williamsburg and Greenpoint. The proposed changes are not as beneficial as the current route. Thank you.

Comment: This is the worst plan in the history of nyc public transportation. As a resident of Seagate, I can say that our entire seagate population depends on the express bus system to get from seagate to the city and back. We cannot possibly adopt to the Bensonhurst bay 52nd street being the fist and last stop as that excludes a huge chunk of working class/lower income populated areas from circulation.

Comment: I don?t at all understand how severing Ditmas Park from express bus service and B103 service ?modernizes? anything, unless by ?modernize? you mean ?save money or resources by drastically under serving a growing community and throwing those people under a figurative bus.? These buses are in high demand and I and so many of my neighbors depend on them to commute to work and to services in other parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan. In addition to being my main method of transit into Manhattan, express bus service on Cortelyou Road gives me an anchor. It?s how I got to know my neighbors, make friends, and develop community ties. It?s a key selling point when I talk about how great Ditmas Park and Kensington are. I learned of this ?redesign? tonight and I?m shocked. These buses are so crowded already. If anything we need more service, not less. What a heartless and senseless change you?re proposing. For shame.

Comment: I use the B2 bus route to and from my home to go to the train station on East 16th street, plus use it to go to kings plaza. It is also used by many school children and elderly who can't walk multiple blocks to get to the bigger bus routes. Eliminating this route would severely hamper daily life in the community.

Comment: Re B63: I strongly oppose the removal of stops along 5th Avenue. Reason 1: People with mobility disabilities need public transportation to be as accesible as possible, and the MTA is already woefully inadequate in meeting these needs. Neither the F/G/R stations at 4th Ave./9th Street nor the R station at Union Street have elevators, so buses are a necessity. Reason 2: The bus is a lifeline for the residents to access and shop at the major retail outlets along this route without needing a car. I, and so many of my neighbors, do major shopping at Target and other stores at Atlantic Center, and at Trader Joe's, both of which are on this route. Reducing the number of bus stops so that more walking/carrying is necessary will make it harder to use public transportation to bring large and heavy purchases home. The last thing 5th Avenue needs is more car traffic!

Comment:  I am a mobility impaired person. I've been residing in Ryerson Towers for over 16 years now and in a community for over 30 years. And that stop is very, very important to me. It allows me the Ryerson stop in a Grand Avenue stop. It allows me to maintain my freedom, my mobility freedom. And I am just afraid that if that stop is removed, I will not be able to maintain that because the stop at Classon is quite a distance and when there's inclement weather, I will not be able travel, make doctor's appointments, it have the basic essentials of daily living as I would if the stop was still there. So it's imperative that stop remains for not only myself that's mobility impaired, but people like me and the seniors who reside within the three co-op buildings that utilize that, those two stops.

Comment: So I would just like to add I spoke earlier, but the B 52 is as an alternate for me as a mobility impaired person because there are issues with the B 38 being late and I waited outside last week for a whole hour and two minutes for the B 38. I had to roll down to the Classon Avenue just to make sure that I was able to get on the bus. When it did come, there were six limits and one local that came by. So there's a issue. Maybe if you take some of the limits off because they're never completely fully occupied, then we can reserve preserve the B 38 at Thery and at the grand. And also the B 52 again is a ideal place for me to go. Also in lieu of the B 38 at night, the B 38 is worse, is really bad. So the B 52, I'm able still to make it home without freezing outside waiting for the B 38. Thank you.

Comment: I?m writing to express my concern and disapproval of the proposal by the Bus Network Redesign Project to eliminate B43 bus service along Tompkins Ave (and also the elimination of service along Lewis Ave) As a regular rider of the B43, this bus needs to serve the community and it?s one of the few North-South bus routes in Bed Stuy. It is often packed, serving the elderly and disabled riders, many with walkers, carts, wheelchairs, and families. It is outrageous to consider that this proposal would increase the distance for commuters to access public transportation. It is not uncommon to wait for this bus for at least half hour and on a regular basis I wait 45+ minutes only to have two buses finally arrive in a row- a packed miserable bus and one empty one that flys down Tompkins with barely any passengers. Yes, we need improvements to this service! However, this feels like a slap in the face and does not actually address the real problems with this bus line. We do not need to eliminate routes. Tompkins Ave is at the heart of this neighborhood with many vibrant black owned businesses. This community deserves easy access to those businesses. Crown heights residents and businesses will also be adversely affected by the shift from Brooklyn to Albany Ave. Please give us changes and improvements to this service that will actually improve the lives for hard working, low income people, and all the residents of this community.

Comment: Has taken the X27 for years and has a disability. Many bus drivers are not trained to use the lift, which leaves her stranded on the side of the road. "I cannot be the only person who is disabled who takes these busses." We have an accessible stop now, but the gap between the train and platform is too great. Busses are vital for those with disabilities.

Comment: I am appalled at your suggestion of discontinuing the B2 bus service and the Saturday service on the BM1, 2, 3, 4, & 5. I am disabled and walk with a cane -- slowly. Using the subway to go to Manhattan on a Saturday is not an option. My limited mobility does not allow me to feel safe enough on the subway. I also cannot trust the unreliable system of elevators. Going to Surf Ave. to get the one express bus to Manhattan will entail 2 extra buses and an hour on each side of the trip -- or car service fare of $70. And what about the people in Mill Basin or Carnarsie? They have an even longer trip. DISCRIMINATORY! Not to mention the fact that Surf Ave. in the summer is packed with beach goers and cars! This is discriminatory to the elderly and disabled who may want to got into Manhattan on a Saturday to see a show, to shop, to see a loved one in the hospital, or to a doctor's appointment. How dare you take away the choices of commuters in this area and TELL them where and when to visit Manhattan. Maybe I should take Wednesday off to see a matinee instead of going on Saturday! NYC is just coming back and you are "slapping it in the face" again. You state that bus ridership is down in Brooklyn...really? Sometimes I have to let 3 local B3 buses go by before I can get on one when coming home from work. Enough money for consultants but not for 10 drivers to work on Saturdays?! Put some thought into having buses not travel in twos and threes...there is not that much traffic on Ave. U at 5:45am. And as for the planned changes on the BM4 -- Gerritsen Avenue is not that long. Traffic consists of 5 cars at the stop light at Avenue U. Taking away Haring St and Avenue V from the route will only inconvenience commuters -- and there is not a bus shelter at the Avenue U and Gerritsen stop. And what is your reasoning for implementing a new line from Flatbush to Red Hook? Is that going to be full to capacity every weekend? I will be happy to have someone accompany me as I drag myself and my cane to work every day, and around the city on the weekend, to show you what I am talking about. Hire people who actually have ridden a bus in Brooklyn not people who only have a degree in, so called, "planning". I will make a complaint to the ADA as well as every other government organization, local and otherwise.

I know this request is NEEDED to have at least 3 or 4 busses heading to spring creek mall. Why us it that one bus come at 7:10 am before that 6:50 am, at 7:30 is the next bus already packed. Explain next bus arrives 7: 45!?. We need more busses in the morning during early morning school hours.

Comment: I think the plan seriously negatively impacts seniors and those who are handicapped. It makes distances between bus stops significantly longer and remove some bus lines near NYCHA housing. Specifically it removes tye B65 west of Flatbush ave that runs near 3 NYCHA projects. I also believe that a new bus line running down Atlantic Avenue from Pier 6 to John F Kennedy Airport should be established. This East-West line would connect with all the lines running north south that cross Atlantic Avenue and be a major bus route that would attract both ridership and be used as a major connector. Thank you

Comment: Dear Andrew
 thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Brooklyn bus redesign plan. I compliment the MTA for its attempt to redesign a very complex bus system. I have a suggestion beyond that I made in writing. I recommend a new route be designed to run down Atlantic Avenue from Pier 6 to the John F Kennedy Airport. I recommend this East-West route that will connect with all the north-south that cross Atlantic Avenue. I recommend that this be a limited stop route or even an express route for part of the length and that  it would be heavily traveled.
I would have it stop in front of Barclay Center and be an limited  stop route down Atlantic Avenue. I recommend that the local bus stop running down Atlantic Avenue continue to make all the current existing stops and not have the spacing between the bus stops made larger. I note parenthetically that the B65 that currently runs on Bergen Street between 3rd Avenue and Smith Street is scheduled to be eliminated. I strongly urge that what ever bus would continue on Atlantic Avenue  make every stop that currently exists, those stops not the eliminated to increase the distance between them. As I pointed out removing those stops would make it more difficult for the seniors and disabled to access bus routes. Thank you for your consideration

Comment: Hi I notice that the B65 on Bergen st between 3rd and Smith is eliminated and that on Atlantic Ave also between 4th and Smith the stops become every other major block. I ask you NOT to remove the stops on Atlantic. This makes the walk to the nearest stop much longer as there is no longer a bus on Bergen street

New York City Transit

2 Broadway
New York, NY 10004

Dear Mr. Davey,
I am contacting you regarding the B11 bus line and its inclusion in the Brooklyn Bus Network
Redesign Draft Plan. While I am pleased to see the recognition from the MTA that improvement is
needed in Brooklyn’s bus service, I am disappointed in the attention shown to the B11 bus.
As a local resident, I take the B11 bus regularly and over the last 40 years, I have seen no substantial
improvements in the B11 bus line. In fact, it is simply outrageous how overcrowded the bus has
become and how long the wait times are between buses.
Since I became an elected official, I proposed a number of reasonable and productive solutions to the
issues surrounding the B11, yet year after year, these suggestions fall on deaf ears. Frustratingly, I have
been told one excuse after another why improvements cannot be made to the B11. All the while, my
constituents continue to be underserved.
That is why I was so disappointed in reviewing the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Draft Plan,
because once again the B11 bus has been overlooked and no real improvements were proposed. Under
this plan, the B11 will continue its terrible history of underserving the community.
I respectfully request that the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Draft Plan reexamine the B11 bus route
and propose significant and substantial improvements to decrease overcrowding and wait times. Thank
you for your attention to this important matter and I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,
Simcha Felder
Senator, S.D. 17

Comment: I live near the Kings Highway station on the B and Q train. Overall I'm happy with the changes. I think swapping the southern terminus for the B49 and B68 is a great idea. My concern is with eliminating the B2. The B2 allows me to go to Kinga Plaza Mall on a one-seat ride. Without it, I'll have to take 2 buses or take one bus and walk a significant distance to get to the mall. I'll admit, I don't like riding the bus so I'm more likely to take the subway to Atlantic Terminal to do some shopping but by going through with removing the B2 you'd be taking the option to go shop at Kinga Plaza off the table for me as it won't be worth the hassle of taking 2 busses.

Comment: I take x28 to go from Brooklyn to the 23rd Street in Manhattan. Please don't cut the stops between Thomas Street and the 23rd Street. I don't feel safe taking subways due to a lot of crimes happening in subways. Look at today's news: Man Shoved onto Brooklyn subway tracks by stranger swears off mass transit: 'This is my last time.' Again and again, people are being shoved on subway tracks, being slashed, being stabbed on subways. We have every right to travel to our workplace safely and should be given the alternative to take express bus to work instead of being forced to take subways!

Comment: I?m writing about the plan to redirect bud traffic on the B52 line to Gates Ave instead of Greene as currently routed. This will cause buses to be making unprotected right and left turns at the intersection of Gates and Washington Aves that raise serious safety concerns. That intersection is right in the path of children and families making their way to PS 11, but does not have crossing guards, and the busses would have to cut through pedestrians with young children and strollers. This new plan is a tragedy waiting to happen. Please reconsider the rerouting and leave the bus running along the school where there are active crossing guards and no turns to be executed.

The bus stop on Oliver and Shore Rd should NEVER even be questioned on being removed. There are huge buildings you and older residents who rely on commuting to work and into the city. Please keep the Buses active on Oliver and Shore Rd. Thank you.

Comment: The B35 should go to the 36 street station. Currently, B35 users who want to take the N or R have to either get off at 4th ave and 39th and walk 3 blocks, or go to 9th avenue, get the D, and switch to the N/R at 36 St (a time-consuming process). And I am sure this is doable because the B35 currently IS stopping at the station on the Brownsville-bound buses temporarily because of construction, and I have really benefited from that.

Also, extend the B82 from Starrett City to JFK Airport, and add a route going down 16th Avenue from Bensonhurst via Cortelyou to Brooklyn College, Keep the B49 to Kingsboro and the B68 to CI, B82 to CI also. Get rid of the Parkville/47 street stop on the B11 and have it go straight onto 47 spending less time in traffic on McDonald av. Keep the BM1/3/4 frequencies as they are during midday/evening peak hours especially bm33.

To reduce danger, place a left turn traffic signal -buses only -at Ralph and Flatlands-to safely turn onto Flatlands Avenue and extend the eastbound B82 bus stop on that intersection which would allow ongoing traffic to flow better.

Comment: The MTA proposes to eliminate all X28 service on weekdays into Manhattan after 12 noon and out of Manhattan before 2pm. This is unacceptable for Seniors, shift workers and students. Dyker Heights is a transportation desert. We rely on the X28. We pay our fares (i.e. we are not fare evaders like so many of your riders) and our taxes so, we deserve bus coverage during the day. The MTA is a public good NOT a private service. Using cost/benefit analysis to make decisions is wholly inappropriate.

Comment: Suggestion: How about the MTA adding Select bus service for B41 going to Kings Plaza and to Veterans Avenue. The buses are so crowd. It is difficult to get on a bus at Nostrand Avenue. Also, there are not enough buses going to Veterans Ave. I think this would really serve the needs of working Brooklynites. Thanks.

Comment: I?m not sure how the removal of the bus stop at 7th Street on the B63 line would speed things up. The next stop at 9th Street is always mobbed so now everyone from 7th Street will also be waiting at 9th Street. It just means the bus will sit longer at 9th Street. And someone like me on a cane has longer to walk. Please don?t remove the 7th Street stop from the B63 line.

Comment: I understand the Pulaski bridge presents a challenge, but the current route option to get to queens moves the stop even further from the waterfront. The 7 train is the best option for folks in North Brooklyn to get to midtown. If you were to take the G, after walking there, you need to transfer twice to get to the same area in Manhattan that the 7 gets you to. Many people in North Brooklyn waterfront now use uber/lyft to get to the 7 or the L because there aren’t good public transit options which creates more traffic. The Ferry just opened again as well to midtown, but that’s not the best option either because it drops you at the edge of the east side. Is there a way to have a shuttle/loop service to the housing on commercial? If not something that the MTA could do, is this something you could bring up to the NYC government so that there could possibly be a public/private partnership with the developers of the new hosing? Ttransit options are the fewest at the waterfront, and this plan movesstops furtheraway

Comment: Please do not cancel weekday Express Bus service to/from Coney Island! Without express buses it takes me 3!! changes of transportation to get to downtown Manhattan. You leave the whole area without access to the proposed first stop of the buses at Cropsey and canal. There is no way to get there from Coney Island. The proposal cancels both x28 and x38. Residents of Coney Island are being slighted!

Comment: Lorraine street and hick street bus stops are important as is all of the bus stop placements because the complex building placements we need these bus stops. Moving them will cause overcrowding which is what we don?t need. Especially with the continuous construction that housing is doing which is making our neighborhood less accessible.

Comment: The b8 brownsville bus stop on cropsey ac and 15 ave supposedly is being planned to be removed which I a everyday user among other people believe this stop is important as more than 10 people are at this stop from 6:30 according to my knowledge all the way till 8:40. if anything you should just remove the stop at cropsey ave bay 8st, the stop ahead of the one needed to be removed as no one used that one due to the complicated walk to get there as the lights and streets are directly next to the bus stop while this stop is safer out on a regular street. The cropsey ave bay 8th stop rarely gets used and if anything never packs or fills the bus up while corpsey 15th ave and the stop corpsey 16th ave after together have the most traffic out the other stops being done later on. I am a senior in highschool who wakes up at 6 to attend college now classes who will also be going to a college that needs this stop please hear me out and thank you. I also used this bus from my childhood so this does hold a big memory to me.

Comment: Some of us depend on having service to downtown Brooklyn from Canarsie/Spring Creek. Why eliminate the only route that directly serves transportation to downtown Brooklyn? Some do not want to be forced to take the train or to transfer to another bus. An express route to downtown Brooklyn would be a better option. It will also add options to transfer to the train once in downtown Brooklyn into and from Manhattan. The plan is to also extend the B103 route into East New York? It's already over crowded as it is. That bus line is horrendous during rush hours.

Comment: This area is a STEEP HILL!! Folks here rely on bus B38 Metropolitan service to reach our homes at the top of this hill. If you're getting rid of the ENTIRE Metropolitan Ave B38 service, you should AT LEAST add an extra stop along Seneca (between Dekalb Ave stop and Bleecker stopp) to help serve the community of West Ridgewood. My family and my neighbors RELY on B38 Metropolitan service to get to and from the L train on Wyckoff Avenue.

Comment: Good Day,

Community Board 15 has our offices at Kingsborough Community College. That being said, we are advocating on behalf of the college as well as the students from Goldstein High School, the employees at Menorah Home and the many residents from Manhattan Beach. The elimination of the B49 would disrupt many lives and potentially force many students at the college to go elsewhere.

The college is seeing a huge drop in enrollment.as of now and this will make the situation worse.

For the residents of Manhattan Beach, a simple trip to Sheepshead Bay will become a trek .

Please reconsider the B49,

Best,

Theresa Scavo, CB15, Chairperson

Comment: I?m writing to express my strong opposition to re-routing the B52 bus to run along Gates Ave. between Classon and Washington Aves., where I have lived since 2003. This stretch of Gates is a quiet, residential street consisting mostly of townhouses rather than large or commercial buildings. It is already well-served by public transit on nearby Fulton St. All of the Gates Ave. neighbors I?ve spoken with do not want a bus running on this street because of the impact it could have in increasing noise, fumes, dirt, traffic, parking, and car sideswipes. Meanwhile my neighbors on Greene Ave., who currently rely on bus access and include elderly residents with significant accessibility needs, do not want it removed. Finally, this small portion of the proposed route change does not even serve the MTA?s own stated goal of reducing travel time by eliminating turns because it adds as many as it removes. If residents on Gates do not want a bus on their street and those on Greene want to keep it, this change would make no one happy.

Comment: As a resident of Gates Ave., I am very concerned regarding to plans to reroute the B52 bus along my street. Street parking is already extremely difficult to find in my neighborhood, and adding bus stops will take away many much needed spots. Busses will add to the already high level of traffic, as many large trucks and emergency vehicles use Gates Ave. due to the proximity to Fulton St. We are also already experiencing a lot of construction in and around the area from new streets, sidewalks, and buildings, and this project will only add to the fumes, dirt, and debris. I work from home, there is already a lot of noise from the street and again this will only serve to add to that, making work and rest even more difficult. Aside from all of those reasons, we already have ample public transit options between the subway and the bus and this change seems to be entirely unnecessary.

Comment: Wanted to give some feedback about Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn.   Recently I have noticed more private cars driving on the street.  I noticed bus transit signals in Queens (the signals for busses that have the white lines & dots on the traffic lights).  I believe that these could be implemented on Fulton St to provide better indication to drivers that they MUST turn at certain intersections.  Today there are intersections that have green traffic lights for all traffic directions, despite private cars being required to turn at the intersection - these traffic lights contradict the traffic signs, which in a busy area may be being ignored.   By having turning arrows for cars in Red/Yellow/Green drivers will have to follow that signage, while busses can utilize the Bus transit signals (the lines and dot white style signals) - this can greatly improve navigation and directions in the area for private cars. For Fulton St in Downtown Brooklyn I'd also suggest painting the entry points of the bus lanes red to indicate to drivers that these are bus lanes only.  Today it's all the same color of concrete where private cars are allowed and only busses are allowed.   It could also be a good area for a traffic enforcement camera to photograph drivers driving in the bus only segments in order to prohibit private cars.

Comment: Did the authors of the plan consider the impact of bike lanes? It was mentioned that one of the factors was narrow streets.  Many streets are narrowed as the result of created bike lanes. Also was the impact of Open Streets considered?

Comment: If Sheepshead Bay Road is too slow for buses, why did you turn a No Standing zone into metered parking instead of just enforcing the No Parking. You already removed the northbound buses from Sheepshead Bay Rd and now you want to remove the southbound direction as well to make it much more difficult to get to Sheepshead Bay from Manhattan Beach. There is just as much traffic on Brighton Beach Avenue between Brighton 13 Street and Coney Island Avenue which can take buses as long as 8 minutes due to double parked trucks. Yet you want to add more buses there.

Suggest turning onto Rockaway Pkwy instead of E 98th St for safety purposes. Crash potential using Kings Highway/ E 98th St

Bus stop is typically parked up at Sutter Av 3 train stop

Keep the service on Clarkson, left on Rockaway Pkwy, and right on Ralph. Make the transfer to the subway a one block walk

Very difficult to make the right turn from Bergen to Kingston, daylighting corner needed

Changing the B44 local to run on Rogers Av will cause confusion but the existing route path isn’t confusing because customers are used to the route

No traffic issues on New York Av, traffic issues on Rogers Av will cause additional delays for the free-flowing B44 local

B44 local and SBS should be consolidated to run in both directions on Bedford Av, wide street able to support buses

B49 could also be moved onto Bedford Av in both directions

No issues with left from New York Av onto Fulton St for existing B44 local

Customers will not like the B49 bus since many customers on New York Av are traveling to Williamsburg

Comment: B57- Frequency at 10min or better is much better.

Adding quite a bit of routing at the northern end.

Limited proposing is 1300’ v today is at 1700.’ Is this like the B103, with no underlying local?

New stop sequence. Moving to Park instead of Flushing prioritizes the inter borough movement without drag by BNY, like this.

Would really like some bus priority along this route to further improve operations. Perhaps signals and/or lanes?

Comment: The Limited B6 Bus does not stop at Brooklyn Avenue and there seem to be few local B6 buses running that route. Please add the Brooklyn Avenue stop on the B6. There are many elderly people who use that stop, and if a local bus stops during rush hour, it is crowded. Also, I see lots of limited buses go by, one after the other, but I don't see a lot of local buses.

Comment: Please don?t remove the bus lines on Tompkins Ave or Lewis Ave. Depending where you live in Bed Stuy there is limited access to the subway and these bus lines help provide access to the subway. If you live on Madison and Tompkins the closes train is the A on Fulton Steeet or the G train or Marcy Ave. The buses are needed on both of these corridors

Comment: There have been a lot of comments here against removing individual bus stops. Without speaking to whether the idea is sound or not, I wonder how much our buses could be sped up on certain corridors without removing stops by leaning on NYC DOT to implement bus lanes on various Brooklyn streets.If so many rely on their bus service and nearest bus stops, perhaps we can build support for reallocating travel and parking lanes for bus lanes.

Bad enough the buses are super crowded during rush hours. I don?t see how removing so many stops will improve anything. This is unfair to the community the say the least.

Comment: I live in Park Slope and would like to register an objection to ending the B61 route at 15th St. instead of letting it go all the way to Greenwood Cemetery. Several schools and at least one summer camp/afterschool program are on 19th St. and Prospect Park West, and losing that part of the B61 would be most inconvenient for those students and their parents. My son, who is 7, has an afterschool class over there and the B61 takes us from 9th St. and 5th Ave. all the way to 19th St. and PPW. Then on the way home, we can catch the B61 again from 19th St. and PPW to 9th St. and 8th Ave. It is very convenient for us and I would not like to see it go away. Thank you.

Comment: New York Avenue usually has two driving lanes, but the 71st Precinct takes up the entire right lane for parking, even narrowing the one remaining lane. It's an awful choke point for buses, which have to slow down to avoid hitting the police cars that jut into the lane. The MTA should put pressure on the precinct to take up less space in the lane so that buses can go by the precinct at normal speed.

Comment: I will preface this by saying that we are well aware that this is only a proposal and will be submitting feedback through the official channels (i.e. Brooklyn Redesign website, etc.).  That said, overall, many commuters in the group are VERY concerned about the proposed service cuts and route changes to the Brooklyn express bus lines, myself included. While I reside in Riverdale and have for over ten years (lived on Staten Island prior to that), I am born and raised in Southern Brooklyn in the Manhattan Beach/Sheepshead Bay area and still go back to Southern Brooklyn regularly with these express buses, so I am very familiar with these neighborhoods (Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Mill Basin, Bensonhurst, Sea Gate, etc).  I would definitely be impacted by these proposed service cuts, as I travel off-peak a lot and also on weekends, mainly for leisure purposes, but still for important things nevertheless, and I would be forced to drive should these cuts be enacted.  We are confused about the MTA pushing for congestion pricing and supposedly encouraging New Yorkers to take public transportation, but are proposing to cut said public transportation in communities in the outer boroughs that have historically been underserved in two-fare zones and do not have subways.  I am not sure how Janno Lieber thinks this is "equitable" to outer borough residents.  We are taxpayers just like Manhattanites and we need our public transportation, which includes the express buses (they are not a luxury - they are a form of public transportation).
We are especially concerned for people that are essential workers that work on Saturdays or at other off-peak hours at our hospitals, such NYU Langone.  These are people in communities with limited to no subway service that will face much longer commutes trying to keep our City going when we are still trying to exit this grueling pandemic and will have to make several transfers versus the one express bus they take now.
These proposals seem like an attack on middle class neighborhoods in the outer boroughs.  We are in the process of creating an online petition and circulating fliers and have urged all members of our group to leave feedback and contact their elected officials to say NO to these proposed cuts.

Comment: Finally, we like the idea to try to limit the amount of turns along Avenue K on the BM1, but question the amount of congestion along Avenue J to keep the bus moving.  If you are proposing to have the BM1 travel along parts of Avenue J to minimize the amount of turns made, why not just have it run along Avenue J from Ralph Avenue to Ocean Avenue?  Also, how much time would be saved by having the BM1 use Avenue J vs Avenue K?  There are many homeowners along Avenue K that would lose service, but if the BM1 moved faster along Avenue J, walking a few blocks may be worth it for faster service.

-Loss of ALL Coney Island/Sea Gate service via the X28, X38. Sea Gate in particular is over a mile from the nearest subway station and is very isolated.

I suggested that B49 should be rerouted to another street going south at Sheepshead Bay Road stop (at Ea6th St) which is a 2 way street, with double parking due to store delivery trucks and double parking.

Or make Sheepshead Bay Road a one-way street to ease congestion, especially for fire trucks and ambulances who cannot get through.

Eastbound stop West 5 Street/Seabreeze removed, this stop needs to be kept, its across of buildings where a lot of elderly people, and families with children live, as well as Synagogue and park.Everyone can easily access it. On the other hand the stop Sure Ave/West 6 needs to be removed, lots of people even don't know about its existence and its in the middle of the block so you need to cross on west 5 or west 8 in order to get there, really inconvenient and buses are always miss that stop. Please take all the above notes into consideration. Thank you. Respectfully, Vlada Ackerman

Comment: The problem with the NYC bus network is that our roads are choked by private cars. Removing, consolidating, and rerouting bus lines will not change this fact. The MTA must focus on expanding dedicated bus lanes, strict parking enforcement, and converting more bus-only streets like 14th St in Manhattan. It must also use its political weight to advocate for the elimination of free on-street parking everywhere in NYC. Our streets are a public good, not a private parking lot. Cutting or consolidating bus lines does NOT address the issue of overwhelming private vehicle traffic, private vehicle parking, private vehicles blocking bus lanes or bus stops, or a lack of dedicated bus infrastructure. The bus network redesign is ill-founded. It proposes real, significant cuts today, for a promise of better future service, while doing nothing to address the most obvious problems with current service.

Comment: Regarding the B46 bus ending at Woodhull Hospital. This change would affect thousands of senior and disabled riders from getting into Manhattan via the bus that goes across the bridge, who are unable to use the trains. Even with elevators at some stations, you have to wait for non seniors and non disabled riders who chose to use these services. This is also a popular shopping route for us. Will there be a bus that goes beyond Woodhull Hospital? If this is regarding the traffic, then use traffic agents for this area. We are paying customers and we pay our taxes. Please reconsider and do not disregard us.

Comment: The elimination of the B2 bus would mean much overcrowding on the B100 in the morning. I get the B100 in the weekday mornings about 7:15 to 7:30 and as it is now there are times people can?t get on at East 37 and Fillmore Ave due to school children going to Marine Park IS and Madison High School. I now rely on the B2 as it?s almost impossible to get into the B100 let alone get a seat.

Comment: Please Do Not eliminate this bus route (X28). The X28 & The X27 is the ONLY express bus that operates on a Sunday. Not to mention, this zone has very limited train service. It?s not fair to further inconvenience the travel of neighbors who work on Sundays preferring & willing to Pay MORE for this transportation.

Comment: This redesign in so far as it affects Crown Heights where I live is unacceptably bad. All of the routes it will alter will make it prohibitively difficult to go to North Brooklyn, Lefferts, and downtown Brooklyn from where I live. I?ve watched a lot of messed up things happen so far as development is concerned and done my part to fight sketchy developments that clearly serve the internet of developers over long term, mostly Black people, and this doesn?t seem to be much different. How in the world would having folks change buses multiple times to reach a final destination be more expedient? This is a hard no. We?re owners, not renters so that should mean something. We?re so exhausted with feeling bullied by our own city.

Comment: I just to want to let you know that the proposed Brooklyn Bus Redesign project would negatively impact so many people in the Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, and Bensonhurst communities. I work nights and the X28 service is vital to me. I do not live near a subway line, while the express bus is much closer to me. There is also the safety factor as on the express bus, I feel more at ease in regards to not having to deal with homeless and mentally disturbed people as opposed to being on the subway. Even if the MTA were to raise the express bus fare to $7.50 per ride as compared to the current $6.75, I would not have an issue with it if it meant maintaining our express bus service. I shutter to think what would happen to my commute if the service is cut. I already arrive to work 45 minutes early in the afternoon as the buses only run once an hour at that point. I can deal with that, but cutting more service in the afternoon and evening would be horrendous to the working Brooklynites from those potentially affected areas. I thank you for your time.

This happens all the time and no one does anything about it. If you need more evidence I can take photos and or video, but take any of these buses and you will see how the buses can not operate at a normal speed or level of acceptable service. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND PROVIDE ACTION WITH STRONG ENFORMENCT TICKETS, TOWING, SUSPEND LICENSES, ETC. The residents of BK ARE tired of this daily hassle with waiting for buses stuck behind illegally double parked cars and or getting stuck behind one and being late. PLEASE HELP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment: Your rep is literally talking about buses on 1-lane streets right now (Bedford and Driggs). I don't go to Gowanus or Carroll Gardens because it's such a hassle (I live in Prospect Heights). DOT is currently studying a GAP redesign to fix Union St traffic, work with them. And the Union St bridge is totally wide enough for a shared contraflow bus/bike lane, you just have to get rid of the parking on the adjacent blocks. Can the Carroll St Bridge not handle the weight of a bus if you reversed its direction?
Like I'm looking at Google Streetview of this bridge and there's like a 5- or 6-foot shoulder on either side

Comment: This is not a good idea. While it may seem strategic on paper, the reality is this redesign initiative is a logistical nightmare. The proposed route along the same stretch of Greene that is changing to Gates avenue is a more residential than the aforementioned. Forcibly inserting buses every 3 minutes along with the required infrastructure would ruin the identity of the neighborhood. Furthermore, the neighborhood already has 4 additional bud routes running parallel to green with a perpendicular bus route along classon avenue. Changing this route to gates would mean there are 3 bus routes within 3 blocks of each other, with another two routes within 5 blocks. The over congestion of public transportation in the neighborhoods along this bus route is not due to the lack of said transportation, rather the inability of the MTA to provide and execute an effective product for their customers. Rather than forcing another community of people to be subject to the pollution, traffic, and increased lack of parking, you should focus on strengthening the current product.

Comment: B52 Bus to be rerouted along Gates Ave would be a disaster for residents, traffic and parking on and along Gates Ave. As it is right now Gates is. A narrow avenue between Classon and Vanderbilt and a 2 way road it?s hard to drive through in both lanes and very dangerous by the schools and road crossing This is a very bad idea and should not be executed!!!

I almost take bus 10 times a week. And those stops are really convenient and useful for me and many people in our universities, many people in this community . We REALLY need this stop. Also, there are already less B38 bus stop in this stop which is really in convenient already. Taking bus in this stop is already part of our daily life. Please never cancel those stops. It?s REALLY IMPORTANT FOR MANY PEOPLE like me.

Comment: MTA should not cancell express x28/x38 service from Coney Island/Sea Gate area during weekdays. Number of busses serving Coney Island already limited. The MTA study is flowed. Only 5% of x28/x38 express bussess are comming to Coney Island area. 95% of express bussess already start/finish at Cropsey & Canal st. Only limited number of bussess and only during rush hours (approximately once every 30 minutes for 2 hr in the morning and 3 in the evening) are serving Coney Island/Sea Gate area. There is no way for people of Coney Island to get express bus service at all if those lines will be cancelled. MTA needs to keep those 5 busses to go 5 stops in the morning and in the evening between Canal st and Sea Gate to serve Coney Island/Sea Gate area.

For better order of us passengers who need to be on time for our Doctors or get to School on time. If they accept my suggestion. I think there should express busses that stop on train stop stations. Every 30 minutes, I think they should make these express stops. And maybe it will help from traffic from other vehicles to occur too. There should should enforce that too.

BkBNR intent is to maintain all existing school trips. Serving the school trips, the same as previously, or the same amount of service but labeled as something else.

Comment: Why is there no B2 line? Does its absence mean you're proposing its cancellation? The B100 nearby is so crowded during weekday rush hours that it sometimes skips stops between Mill Basin and Kings Highway. It serves students commuting to James Madison HS and that makes it especially packed. If another pandemic happens it's going to be a nightmare. You are also likely undercounting B100 usage since drivers routinely allow students to ride without paying.  Consolidating B2 and B100 service is going to ruin quality of service for a significant part of the middle class residents in the area who rely on it to get to the subway. There is already a lot of morning car traffic, and I only envision it increasing or spiking as former B2 riders end up taking a car instead. In removing a bus that connects the Kings Highway B/Q to Kings Plaza with a 20 minute ride, you are also making that commercial destination more difficult to reach for those coming from the west.  The B3 from the Ave U B/Q stop to Kings Plaza is a much longer ride, probably 30-40 minutes, given how congested Ave U is due to its commercial nature. Please give this careful thought. Note that equity is not just about race (I am referring to your slide deck where you only highlighted trips for passengers traveling from East New York/Starrett City to other parts of Brooklyn).

Comment: The B2 has low ridership mostly because of how infrequent it runs that many opt to just take the B100 instead of wait, however the B2 route is important to reduce crowding and provide multiple transit options to the neighborhood.

Comment: Cancelling the B2 line effectively makes Marine Park a transit desert. The B2 is a vital shuttle line that takes residents of Marine Park directly to either the Kings Highway (B/Q) train station or to Kings Plaza. Smashing all of Mill Basin, Marine Park, and Midwood onto the B100, without increasing service, is callous, disrepectful, and ignorant of the needs of an entire neighborhood.

Comment: You are discriminating against an entire community by eliminating the Linden Blvd./Euclid Ave,, Crescent St., Autumn Av, Eldert Lane, etc., all of the buses that run between Euclid Ave and the Postal facility on the current route. The service is already poor having to wait sometimes over 30 minutes for a bus that is so crowded that you can't even get on. There wasn't any input from the community, no notice to attend any meetings. I am ashamed to tell anyone I work for MTA as badly as you are treating us. Why discriminate against existing communities for the new "whiter" communities being build in the neighborhood. Pure discrimination and you should be ashamed. That's why people don't want to pay their fair. It really is not worth it if you don't care how I can utilize the system. If I didn't work here I wouldn't pay anything either. This is horrible.

Comment: Wouldn't it make sense to have the B103 route end at the East 105 St. Subway Station of the "L" Subway Line only about two blocks north of Glenwood Road/East 105 Street rather than send these riders traveling on a local bus about ten to fifteen minutes further east to the IRT # 3 New Lots Avenue Subway Station?  Also there's a new transfer  location between the "L" subway line and the IRT #3 subway line at the Livonia Avenue/Junius Street Subway Station if any of those B103 riders need access to that particular IRT # 3 subway line.

It would be significantly more convenient for the bus to turn from McDonald directly onto 47/foster, and the parkville stop can be moved slightly

Comment: The B16 is a vital route and is the most direct connection between southwest and northeast Brooklyn. With that, it still seems to bend and twist through Borough Park. Has there been any studies to see if streamlining the service onto Fort Hamilyon Pkwy and providing an additional shuttle of some sort along 13th-14th Avenues? Either that or test trial alternating buses between the two routes?

Comment: Part of making the busses fast and convenient to use is to organize the lines into a grid wherever possible. To that extent, the proposed B16 route should be split in two; B16a should follow the proposed B16 route from it's northern terminus until 60th street, where it will continue down 13/14 aves until copsey Ave. B16b should run from the proposed southern B16 terminus until 60th street, where it will continue down ft Hamilton until the F train station at ocean Pkwy and ft Hamilton

For example, combine the Garfield Pl and 3rd St stops into one stop at 2nd or 1st Sts. And in South Park Slope, combine the 12th St and 15 St stops into one stop at 13th or 14th Sts.

Comment: Was any thought given to retaining the stop at Tompkins in at least one direction? I understand the logic behind wanting to increase distance between stops, but so many people live off Tompkins, it would be great to retain the stop in at least one direction and perhaps remove another one (maybe at Throop). Especially if the southbound B43 remains on Tompkins as many neighborhood members have advocated for, this would retain an important transfer point.

Comment: Moving SB B43 route to Marcus Garvey puts the route further from the commercial on Tompkins and may serve to encourage more personal cars and double parking. However, Marcus Garvey is 2 lanes and it would be great if 1 of those lanes could be a dedicated and enforced bus lane. Might make this proposed change more palatable.

Comment: Rerouting both the B52 and B26 to Fulton will cause an even greater increase in traffic on already congested Fulton street. This particular turn from Washington on to Fulton will be disasterous. It's often congested right at that intersection and adding a bus turning will make it worse, not to mention adding more traffic to Fulton street.

Comment: If a goal of the redesign is better interborough connections then extending the B81 or an equivalent rush/limited service through the Carey Tunnel would greatly improve access to Downtown from Red Hook and other locations along the Culver Line.

As it is right now, I'm not sure if the road is wide enough + parking limitations exist to make the right turn onto E 19th St possible, safe, and efficient. Are there any plans to impose parking & traffic restrictions at this intersection to make the turn more feasible?

Also, why not just use the current B31 route, which takes it north on Ocean Avenue with a left turn onto Quentin Road? I'm of the opinion that this 1 block along Ocean Avenue was never a huge time sink; the real issue was routing the B100 along Kings Highway, which haa thankfully already been removed.

Comment: Agree with previous comments stated by other people, don't eliminate the B38 LTD, the route is a highly utilized route and the limited variant is very popular. That's not yet considering how much more people use the route in general now than when limited service was introduced in 2010.

Comment: And secondly, I've waited for the 38 and there's like three come at one time. So maybe if y'all fix the timing of the buses or when they supposed to come on schedule, because you have three buses coming at the same time. There are three buses right behind each other. So if you miss the third bus now I now you're going to have another 15 minutes or more to wait for the next bus because there's three buses together. The 38 runs in threes, even with the limits in the middle of it. And they need to fix that. And maybe if you fix that, you can keep our bus stops that we need because we need Grand. Because if you go to Grant, you're going to go walk all the way to Washington, which is not, doesn't make any sense. And if you get rid of Carlton, that mean I have to walk all the way to South Portland. And if I'm coming from downtown and I have bags and I have to get up at South Portland, why am I taking the bus? Or if I have to go to Vanderbilt, I have to walk all the way back to Carlton or that's a long walk.

Comment: As many other said during the town hall last night, moving southbound B43 service to Marcus Garvey would create a huge gap in southbound service--5 long avenue block to the west without any southbound service. Tompkins is a hugely popular street with many business. Removing service from Tompkins would create an accessibility issue. Suggest creating a bus lane there since headways and bunching are an issue on the B43..

Comment: The B15 and B43 running on the same street is a TERRIBLE idea! It is already congested during rush hours because of school bus traffic. This particular area is LARGELY POPULATED! The buses would be packed and we'd have to wait longer periods of time for the bus. Plus, taking the bus off of Tompkins takes away the commercial opportunities for all of the amazing shops and small businesses. THIS IS NOT A GREAT IDEA!

Comment: I will be devastated if you get rid of the current B44 route. I live on Sterling Place and New York Ave and cannot walk 2 long blocks away to catch a bus and make it to the Nostrand Ave subway station, which I must reach for work (A/C subway lines). Additionally, the proposed B49 route to replace the B44 stops short of my journey to another important desitnation: my girlfriend's home near Nostrand Ave and Lafayette. Please don't get rid of my favorite and most frequently used bus route!

Comment: B44, B49, B65, and B45: Swapping the B44 and B49 is a great idea for a number of reasons. The B44 local northbound should parallel the SBS, be more frequent, and continue north of Fulton St to connect to the G as well as the reopened A C entrance, all of which this change does. The addition of southbound B49s on Nostrand would increase frequency on that crowded corridor, which lacks sufficient local service. The removed southbound service on Bedford could be offset by an increase to the frequency of the B48 if necessary. However, the reduced frequency of the B65 on nights and weekends, and the unimproved frequency of the B45, are concerns. Those services are already threadbare. In addition to serving Downtown Brooklyn and filling in the space between the Fulton and Eastern Parkway Subway corridors, they connect the various north-south commercial corridors from Vanderbilt to Utica. They should be made more frequent, not less.

Comment: The B49 route as it stands serves hundreds of residents at Ebbets Field, particularly seniors, who may struggle with the new route along Nostrand/New York. I would suggest keeping the section of the route north of Empire Blvd along Bedford to serve this population.

Comment: Gates Ave. residents, as well as the PS-56 community, are overwhelmingly opposed to a bus running on this stretch because it will add to traffic and safety concerns on a narrow street with multiple schools and existing speedbumps (which will slow a bus anyway). Please consider maintaining the run on Greene Ave. (where many elderly folks badly want to keep their service).

Comment: This is an amazing badly thought-out change by people who have no knowledge of the neighborhood. The existing B62 line is needed as a convenient way of travel up and down Manhattan Avenue, the neighborhood's main street, and to and from Williamsburg. This is especially vital for the many seniors who live in Greenpoint and need access to the local businesses that line Manhattan Avenue. The change to McGuiness Boulevard eliminates a lifeline for many and switches to a street that is far more dangerous for pedestrians. The change from local to express also makes the line much less useful. For multiple reasons, the existing B62 needs to be kept on its current route. This proposed change makes the line nearly useless for Greenpoint, a disappointing change from what is currently a highly useful line.

Comment: The B62 is a convenient and efficient way to get back and forth up and down Manhattan Avenue and is a vital means of transportation for many of the elderly folks in Greenpoint. Taking it off of Manhattan and moving it over to already congested (and frankly dangerous to pedestrians) McGuinness will remove an essential service for many members of  our Greenpoint community.

I also believe that removing this bus route from Manhattan Avenue will negatively impact many local storefronts who depend on foot traffic complemented by bus routes to attract customers and build relationships with the community. When shopping is less convenient people start to use Amazon more, which is one of the reasons that our wonderful local businesses are already suffering. I will always make it a priority to shop local but if we lose this bus route I think many community members will find that it is impossible.

Comment: This new proposal is absolute failure. It will cut off access from queens to main street inGreenpoint in route for all the shops and errands. The b62  should stay as befmore that serves everyone to get to any point in Manhattan Ave. There is no point to transfer to another bus. The new proposal creates lots of problem for any who uses the bus and whoever is suggesting it will be faster, surely doesn't use the bus as means of the tranporation.

Comment: Please don't move the B62 to McGuiness Blvd. This route is important for school kids who commute to middle school and parents don't want their kids waiting for the bus on McGuiness.  The B62 is also an important link to the Queensboro Plaza train station, which this route change will cut off.

Comment: What happened to the stop at Garfield Place?  It's too long to have no stops for six blocks between 3rd and Union.  We need the stop at Garfield to stay!  It is a very busy area with lots of stores and restaurants.  The bus shouldn't just pass through.

Please organize the schedule so that pairs of buss do not arrive always at the same time. I have evidence of all the times 2 buses arrive at the same time.

I frequently ride this bus in early afternoon to see Broadway shows, visit doctors and go shoppping.
You only have a 37 now with limited hours. Many people in my area need the other bus! Especially seniors.

Comment: No busses to midtown in mid-day from Bay Ridge is unnacceptable. X28 needs to be maintained. The bus is not a business, it is a service. It does not matter if you are losing money, this is a publis service. If you send a bus out with only one rider who is disabled that is a sound use of the bus.

Comment: A route from JFK Airport to southern Brooklyn via the Belt Parkway should be created. The B55 is definitely a big step in the right direction, but it would help to have a more direct route (possibly using the shoulder during rush hour). …...@Jeff: To clarify, the proposed route along the Belt Parkway wouldn't be in lieu of the B55. I definitely agree that the B55 should be retained in the proposal regardless of any route running along the Belt Parkway

Comment: B5 and B6 should serve Glenwood Road.  B103 limited and my proposed B50, via Bedford/Rogers, would serve Avenue H.  The B49 would be streamlined via Ocean Avenue and Empire Blvd. B44 Local and the B44-SBS would remain the same.

Comment: B49 / B35 transfers to Sunset Park are more indirect with B49 rerouting. If you really want to simplify routing, B49 would run straight on Ocean to Empire and turn east to Utica.

Comment: Good evening!I love the idea of the new B55 SBS a jfk bus has been needed for a long time. This route needs to be articulated due to the amount of riders on Church Av and people using JFK airport. Another concern is bus lanes on Church Av. Church is in dire need of bus lanes. There is too much congestion on this street and it takes too long to get from one place to another on the B35, with bus lanes we will have much better reliable service and this would be great as the B55 is a Select Bus Service Route. I think that the bus lanes should be implemented from McDonald Av to somewhere around Kings Highway on Church Av. Thank you!

Comment: The proposal of the B55SBS along Church Avenue is essential for riders living along Church Avenue. It will provide quick service, and create a new connection across the East side of Brooklyn and Queens to JFK Airport, however, it is vital that a bus lane is added along Church Avenue. The current B35 is extremely LIMITED when it comes to serving Church Av. The traffic is absolutely horrific along the corridor and the wait times between stations are bad. If the B55SBS is going to be continued, it is vital that bus lanes are added along Church Avenue to benefit both the B35 and the B55SBS.

Comment: Commenting on behalf of residents in Liberty Park on Cooper ave, serviced by B13, section that services his neighbors along Cooper avenue along B7. 3 stops will be fully eliminated. HOA meeting- many people were upset about this including elderly and disabled. The reroute will cut connections to the subway. It will impactseveral neighbors. Please either retain this route or provide a route along Cypress Ave/ Cooper Ave. Likes that the there's more accessibility to Ridgewood Reservoir, but still needs access to Cooper St

Also, please keep in mind that along Cropsey Ave on Bay 32nd Street/ Bay 23rd stop- there are a few high end luxury apartments going up with residents likely to commute into Mahattan. So we need to keep the Cropsey Av/23AV and Cropsey Av/Bay 31st stops along the route. Thanks.

Comment: 1. Retain B36 stop in front of Asser Levy Park & W5th St (corner SeaBreezeAve). This is a key & safe stop serving a diverse population, students, elderly and working people. Also, facilitates convenient service to the Sea Breeze residential corridor. Important to our community.

Comment:  2. Preserve express bus X28 direct service between tip of Coney Island and Manhattan. This is a safe and positive alternative facilitating access for the elderly and disabled and anyone else who can?t conquer the steps leading to the elevated subway line. If anything this service which works well and has a low crime rate should be extended to a connection on West 5th Street as well.

Comment: Dear MTA, My name is Savone James. I am a long term resident of the community of Coney Island and I am adamantly against the proposed Bus Schedule changes for the B36, 74, 82, 68, & X28. These bus lines have been an absolute Godsend for countless residents like myself as well as the elderly and children of Coney Island that rely heavily on this mode of transportation. To remove these lines or restrict any of the present bus stops would be detrimental to the everyday transportation needs of us all. I have had to use each of these bus lines at some point and cannot imagine the increased hardship that would certainly be enacted if these changes were to go thru. These bus lines and each stop that they make are desperately needed. Please do not take them from the hard working, low income and deeply concerned citizens of Coney Island.

Comment: Hello, I had heard that there are proposals to cut the X28 bus service from Brooklyn into Manhattan after 12 PM. I am pleading with you not to cut this X28 bus service, but to keep it instead. My neighbors and I have a hybrid work schedule where sometimes we work from home at first but then later have to travel to Manhattan in the afternoon. Some residents (especially by the Cropsey Avenue and Canal Avenue) area don't have convenient access to the subway line, and only have the X28 express bus. The X28 express bus going from Brooklyn to Manhattan is VERY convenient, fast, and safer than the subway, so I am pleading with you to keep this X28 express bus service in the afternoon (the way you currently have it up until 5 PM departure from Bensonhurst). Thank you very much!

Comment: Hello, I am a lifetime resident of Coney Island and live on surf Avenue and West 36 street. I am solely reliant on the X28 bus in order to get into the city for work because as you know, the closest train station is on W. 17th St. I do not see how, in good conscience, this could even be on the table for consideration. You are essentially leaving Coney Island residents without a mode of transportation to support our livelihood. This would be extremely detrimental to the lives of this community and I urge you to keep the bus route as is. Thank you.

Comment: I am appalled by this bus redesign proposal because my family relies on all these buses. These cuts would have a severe negative impact on us. My mom who is now elderly, ONLY takes the bus. She can't walk for long periods of time or for long distances. She heavily relies of the 36 from west 25th street stop to go to her dr appts, she uses the 68, 64, 49 and 44 buses as well. My son is a student and uses buses to get to school, the 74 or 36 to the 82 or 64 from Stillwell. I work across BK, the buses I use often are the 74, 36, 64, 8, 3, 68, 82, 43, 69, 67, 44, 46 or 49. My partner works in the city and takes the X28 bus to get there without the chaos of the trains. Shopping is fairly distant for people who live between Stillwell and w24th street, if we have to get groceries. I would also like to point out how many new buildings have been built in CI within the last decade or so, that means more ppl in the area, that means buses will become crowded quicker. The 36 often passes my son and I by on weekday mornings. It is vital to maintain or even increase bus service to keep up with the increasing population, the demand and necessity of the residents in Coney. Coney Island is NOT just the amusement area! We the people, the residents, young children, students, parents, the working, retired and elderly exist, matter and live past Stillwell and have lives and needs outside of CI. We should not have to postpone what we need to do because of inadequate access to public transportation.

Bus stop theme: 
Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Frequency, Service span, Extended travel times
Comment: X27- please do not decrease the weekend service frequency or eliminate the 4:50 weekday departure from bay ridge. With working from home, more people are utilizing the express bus during non commuting hours. Having a late afternoon/early evening option from bay ridge allows for seeing a play, getting dinner, doctors appointments, meetings, etc in Manhattan after working from my home. There are times I wish that there was a 5:50 weekday bus from bay ridge. The trains are unreliable, unsafe and the bus is vital to getting people between Brooklyn and Manhattan. I am a frequent user of the x27 and x37 for work commutes, taking classes, and for leisure. I wish that the bus had longer operating hours in the evenings past 12 to get home from Manhattan and fewer cancelled bus departures at night around 9, 10, 11 pm (a frequent issue I have noticed in the last year or so).

Comment: Dear MTA Your proposal of removing g the X27 from Seagate is preposterous, this bus services working residents and many of the seniors going to Manhattan for medical treatment . The idea of having to go to Cropsey Ave to catch this bus is a financial burden . You are putting Coney Island back into a 2 fare zone which we fought hard to get out of . All of the proposed changes are extremely hard on the community . Our population has increased dramatically due to MANY new buildings and the idea of decreasing bus service makes absolutely no sense . Please reconsider this proposal. Respectfully Marcy

Comment: I am writing to request that adding an additional bus stop for the BM5 express bus on Woodhaven Blvd /81 Ave. I am a veteran and a regular commuter who relies on your service to get to work every day. I live at 8824 81st Road, Glendale, NY 11385, which is very close to Woodhaven Blvd /81 Ave. However, there is no BM5 express bus stop between Woodhaven Bl /Forest Park Dr stop and Woodhaven Bl /Metropolitan Av stop. This means that I have to walk very far to either of these stops, which causes me a lot of pain and discomfort due to my back injury and walking issue. I work at Madison Ave/East 41 Street in Manhattan, which is conveniently served by the BM5 express bus. However, I often miss the bus or arrive late because of the long distance I have to walk to catch it. This affects my productivity and well-being at work. I know that the BM5 express bus passes by Woodhaven Blvd /81 Ave stop every day, but it does not stop there. I believe that adding an additional stop there would benefit not only me but also many other commuters who live or work near that intersection. It would also reduce traffic congestion and pollution by encouraging more people to use public transportation. Therefore, I kindly ask you to review this request and consider adding an additional bus stop for the BM5 express bus on Woodhaven Blvd /81 Ave. I appreciate your attention and cooperation in this matter.

Comment: Also, please don't reduce the BM3 and BM4 express bus from Kensington to New York City. My family took this into the city last week to visit the South Street Seaport and Sea Glass Carousel on my daughter's birthday and I've taken it before for other reasons. I was amazed at how fast it was. The alternative would have been a solid 45 minute train ride or an expensive cab ride, and since we're supposed to be encouraging mass transit, I hope this option will remain on weekends as well as during the week. If it's promoted more, more people will ride it instead of taking cars.

Comment: For the BM3, which is a vital link to Manhattan for the Sheepshead Bay community: Shifting its route in lower Manhattan to the east side, rather than staying more centrally along Church Street or Park Row, undermines its utility. The whole problem here in Sheepshead Bay is that the train, and even sometimes a bus (especially with some of the local bus stops proposed to be removed) is a long walk away. Now, for anyone working on the west or middle part of lower Manhattan, this bus would add so long a walk as to make it useless. What is the person going to Battery Park City or City Hall supposed to do? We can walk at the start of our commute or walk at the end? When I was taking the BM3 because I could only move with the assistance of a cane, the BM3 was vital to my being able to reach my place of employment in Manhattan. If this proposed route was the actual route... I suppose I simply wouldn't have been able to go to work. Please adjust this so that it passes through where it is of the most use to the most people.

Comment: Removing Canarsie Rd./Avenue M from the BM2 route is not conducive for those who use that stop daily. No one, including myself wants to walk back to Remsen Ave. or towards Rockaway Pkwy in order to catch the bus. It is not safe and it's inconvenient, especially during the winter months when it's dark in the am and evening hours. Please reconsider keeping this stop on the BM2 route.

Comment: BM1 2 3 4 have worked as route nos & routes for OVER 50 YEARS. The only changes on them was a HUGE INCREASE IN RIDERS when Command started running them 15 mins apart instead of at the same time. This meant if one wasn't running as OFTEN HAPPENS NOW another that could get you within a cheap short cab ride of your home would be there in 15 mins. AM rush at E7 the last stop would see the "starter" making sure everyone in the steady stream of people walking up to the busses got a seat and almond st not seat went empty. Bus drivers would routinely announce to those on already no sleeping on 2 seats take bags off seats. Now there are PLENTY OF SEATS. PM rush saw a half doz from all 4 busses getting off at E7 Now it's 2 or 3 after NYC cut the BM1&2 & cut back no of busses & hours of operation. A curious way to run Mass Transit. NOW U R MAKING 3X AS MANY LINES ON 2X AS MANY ROUTES W FEWER STOPS & CUTTING HRS "to improve service" It's to confuse & drop ridership so u can cut all service.

Comment: BM1 2 3 4 - old X19. Your plans will result in fewer riders. Moving most stops a block or two to " increase spacing" moving routes to roads where people are less likely to be able to afford express busses ELIMINATING STOPS and ELIMINATING ALL MID DAY SERVICE is overtly designed to cut ridership allowing future cuts. There is ONE METRIC FOR MASS TRANSIT number of riders. You have consistently cut ridership since eliminating private bus lines.

Comment: As a resident of Kensington Brooklyn the rerouting plan drastically affects residents here. We were able to travel safely to commute to school, work, shop between here, Park Slope as well as downtown using the B67 B69 as well as B103. Cutting services to these linest will impact us as we will have limited options - B81 and remaining B67. Mind you traveling by bus is safer than traveling by train as the string of random incidents underground continue. Please reconsider the proposed changes to the B69 and b103. Our buses operate like lifelines through our commiunity. It is impotant to keep the routes as is w enhancements not reductions. Thank you for your time.

Comment: I wouid like to comment on the redesigning of the buses in Coney Island. B74, B36, B68< B82. I strongly disagree with the progect. The residents of Coney Use these Services To school and Work .The plan would cause a hardship for the residents. The problem is that alot of people come on the bus without paying The only persons who pay are the seniors.. The school children do not show their buspass and their behavior is unacceptable These problems should be solved.

Comment: I along with many other Coney Island residents oppose the redesign plan for the B36 and B74. This neighborhood is very senior citizen and family/children populated and we need our existing stop?s to remain as is. Some of the proposed changes will put our children in great danger due to the violence and drug activity on the proposed blocks. Please leave our routes as is. Thank you

Comment: B74 B36 buses are essential to the Coney Island community. The expansion of housing in CI has enormously increased our population. Our population consists of senior citizens, students and others who rely on public transportation as a means of transportation. Your plan will have a drastic effect on our community. Cutting service is not the answer.

Comment: Hello, I live in the Coney Island Area (B74 & B36). I?m a young student in the area, and I?m heavily against this bus redesign schedule. To redesign the bus schedule where these buses don?t stop in Coney Island at all, is the biggest selfish behavior of all. Elderly, school children, parents, kids, etc.. all take these two important buses to get home. Heck, I see more elderly than younger people on the bus. And, for this redesign to go through, how will people get to place to place? Is this just an idea to cut down on costs? How will this be a benefit to the MTA? Are you going to say to cut down on toxic emissions, sustainability, anything green related? But, this will make it harder for people in low-income areas to make it home safer and on time. We rely on this buses and drivers a ton. And, with all of these newer buildings and apartments being built, we NEED those buses. For our safety and health. Please reconsider this project, even though I?m sure no one will read my comment. Even though we are a small section on New York, we still need the buses. Please don?t bus them out of here.

Comment: The proposed bus route would eliminate 3 essential bus stops on Cooper Ave that connects Liberty Park elderly residents w access to the subway This involves extra walking to the new B7 stop There would be no access over Cypress Hill Street ? a treacherous walk. Please don?t leave our community isolated!

Comment: Dear MTA My name is Marcy Soto and I am totally against the proposed bus route reduction of the B36,B74,B68 . The impact is immensly detrimental to our neighborhood and its residents . The neighborhood has increased immensely and now you want to actually reduce stops instead of increasing stops . Seniors will never be able to get on the buses. Also the removal of the X27 is a disgrace , it is our only source of easier access to Manhattan. This is a totally not thought out project with the neighborhood not at all thought out in the equation. DO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THIS PROPOSAL..Respectfully Marcy Soto

Comment: Dear MTA, My name is Rosalyn Valdes. I am adamantly against the cuts to the bus routes in South Brooklyn, especially the cuts to the b74 b36 b82 and b68, in particular the B74 & B36's 2nd West 33rd Street and Bayview Avenue stop. The proper name is West 33rd Street and Canal Avenue. I myself and a lot of others take those buses early in the morning and come back late at night it is dangerous for us to walk from or to either the actual West 33rd Street & Bayview Avenue or West 33rd Street and Neptune. It is still dark in the morning when we go to work or school and it is dark in the evening when we come home.

Comment: We here in Coney Island, Brighton Beach Area DON'T WANT THESE CHANGES!!!! We utilizes these buses everyday and majority are the elderly who rely on these bus services for Dr's, Shopping, visiting, healthcare needs. The B36 B68 are VITAL TO OUR AREA and if you change it MANY WILL SUFFER. These routes have been here over 50 yrs plus and they're fine!!!! Maybe consider when you use shuttle busses when the trains aren't working by Stillwell not to have over 10plus EMPTY BUSSES SITTING ON SURF AVENUE. All these years when you use shuttle busses they're 99.9 EMPTY. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE AWAY OUR LINES 36 OR 68 WE DEPEND ON THEM AND THEIR CONVENIENCE!!! TYVM

Comment: Please don't reduce service on the B103! Brookly desperately needs more public transit that connects Ditmas Park and Flatbush with the retail and services available in Park Slope, especially the southern areas of Park Slope and Gowanus that are not accessible via the Q train. We rely on the B103! If anything, it would also be great to extend the B68 to connect the Coney Island Avenue corridor all the way to the bustle of 4th and 5th avenues in Park Slope instead of ending right at Bartel Pritchard. Thank you!

Comment: As a lifelong resident of the Coney Island community, I find these bus cuts APPALLING!!! The B74, B36, B82, B64 & B68 are VITAL MEANS of Transportation to the residents. Be it students, seniors, or everyday working folk, these bus routes are our ONLY means of getting back and forth. Personally, I'm a 50 yr. old disabled woman, taking care of my 81 yr. old mom. We need the resources, as do many others. In conclusion, I am STRONGLY against these changes!!!!

Comment: The plan to eliminate the B64 below Fourth Ave. on Bay Ridge Ave. is going to create problems for those who use the senior center, which is moving to just below Narrows on Bay Ridge Ave. (69th) And if the plan is to eliminate the first stop on Narrows where the bus turns, that's also a bad idea because it is the closest stop to the new location. Better to eliminate Mackay.

Comment: The proposed route of B64 will impact the new multi-million dollar Bay Ridge Senior Center which is currently being built on Bay Ridge Avenue in Brooklyn. Seniors will have no way of accessing the new center. Doesn't one NYC agency talk to another before making proposals? Shortening the route of this bus will also deprive many people, again mostly seniors, of going to Owl's Head Park. It is beyond common sense that the MTA would shut down access to a senior center that the Department of the Aging is spending millions to construct. Please! Common sense is not always very common, but this time it is an obvious case of overlooking the obvious.

Comment: Hello, I'm a Red Hook resident. I learned recently that there's a redesign project that proposes to cut B61 and B57 bus service to the area and I'm writing to share how vital these bus lines are to the neighborhood. Firstly, I'll share that bus service, in general, is important when commuting in Brooklyn. Subway lines only go into Manhattan, and aside from the G line, buses are the only way to travel north/south in the borough. Secondly, from where I live in Red Hook, it's a 19-minute walk to the nearest subway line, making the B57 and B61 bus service a vital part of my commute to work. My stop at Dwight and Dikeman is on the same block where I live; its close proximity both makes my commute home speedy but also safe when traveling alone. The Dwight and Dikeman bus stop is also one of the proposed cuts in service, and I'm writing to share that these stops are important for us in a neighborhood that is already incredibly isolated. Not to mention, this area is nestled next to the Red Hook NYCHA campus, meaning service cuts have the potential to disservice thousands of vulnerable people, including families and elders. I do not support service cuts to the B57 or B61 and would greatly appreciate their service to remain in tact. Thank you.

Comment: Ive seen the proposed draft of the B103 *LIMITED* & B68, lots of riders are not happy about it. Ending all B103 service north of "The Junction" is a bad idea. B103 should stay as it is, the B68 proposal of being rerouted to Kingsborough College is even worse. For example, if the F train doesn't run past Church Av on a certain weekend, you can transfer between the F train & B68 bus @ 15th St-Prospect Park. Although it'd take more time on the bus to/from Coney Island, its direct & still gets you between the two destinations. I am though in favor of the B55+ (B55-SBS) of being created (via Church Av/via New Lots Av).

Comment: I commend the addition of the B55 bus line. It is very logical and would be a great benefit to have a reasonable option to get t JFK. I do not, however, support the changes to the B103. I don't feel the proposed cuts meet the redesign's goal to improve bus travel. The B103 is reliable and on time. As a longtime Kensington resident the elimination of stops would cut me off from shopping and leisure activities near Brooklyn College and the junction. It would also reduce my shopping in downtown Brooklyn, as both of my closest subway stops involve stairs and are cumbersome to navigate with packages. I often choose the B103 for convenience over the subway. I urge you to reconsider these cuts.

Comment: The B52 bus stop westbound at Bushwick and Gates is slated for removal. This is a mistake. There are numerous multi-story apartment buildings adjacent to that stop representing hundreds of people. Removing that stop, which is one stop before the "J" Gates Avenue and Broadway stop would place undue stress upon the disabled and elderly population of those apartment complexes. The stop at Bushwick and Gates allows the residents of those buildings to obtain a seat on the bus before it gets to the "J" Gates and Broadway stop. Usually there are a dozen or more people who board at that stop. It would be better to eliminate the Gates Avenue and Evergreen stop, which has only low density housing.

Comment: As residents with small children on Downing Street near Gates we Are very concerned about the proposal to reroute B52 to Gates Avenue. Given the location of the public school and many daycares this is a terrible idea as it would cause worse traffic and raise the risk of children involved in traffic accidents. We hope this plan does not take effect. We are happy to answer questions in this regard

Comment: I live on Gates Avenue and Cambridge and I do not think moving the B52 is a good idea. My car has been hit twice on Gates in the past few years because of increased traffic and the narrowness of the street. I have also almost been hit taking my kids out of the car. The street is too narrow and the B52 will cause only more problems! PS56 is along this new route and I would imagine it will be dangerous for many of the families trying to get to school.

Comment: The proposed changes to the B49 and B68 bus routes in South Brooklyn would effect the economic vitality of the total South Brooklyn area. Kingsborough Community College is highly dependent on the current B49 route. This route connects most east-west corridors in which students go to the local high school and Kingsborough Community College. Most of the students do not live in the west corridor, which the new B68 would service. We feel that many students would have an additional 20-30 minute commute each way if the B-68 was to end at the Mackenzie loop. If students live in East New York and Canarsie, their bus ride would be extended a great deal. Many staff work at the Menorah Nursing home. We also have high school students. Many faculty work at both Brooklyn College and Kingsborough College. Their commute time would be much greater since the B-49 wouid no longer go there. If you do not want the B49 going to Sheepshead Bay Station, perhaps restore the old route prior to 1978 with beginning at the Mackenzie loop, going down Emmons to Ocean Avenue, and then Ocean Avenue to north Brooklyn. Yes, it would still be an inconvenience for those needing the Sheepshead Bay Station. However, it would only be a 5 block walk to the station and no walk to all the shopping that Sheepshead Bay offers. Please reconsider. KCC's enrollment is dependent on having the 49 bus going to the Mackenzie loop and not having the b68 which virtually none of our students utilize.

Comment: The B49 bus is very important to the residents of Manhattan Beach as well as the students at Kingsborough Community College. Many workers at Kingsborough as well as Menorrah Nursing Home access with the B49 bus. The many stops being removed along Oriental Blvd will force elderly and disabled individuals to walk several blocks to access stops on the route.

Comment: I do not understand who designs the changes for the bus routes. I must reiterate as I have written before. Manhattan Beach, Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay are made up of predominately seniors. Seniors who need to be able to get to a bus stop reasonably near them. Whether they have to go shopping, go to a doctor or whatever. People with walkers and canes. If the weather is hot or cold. Students need to be able to get to school without having to transfer 2 to 3 times. Businesses will affected. People will not shop or go to restaurants. Why not put the B49 back to the original final route where it comes down Ocean Ave instead of Sherpshead Bay Rd. Instead of putting people in danger. People that are designing these changes need to ride the buses. Thank you.

Comment: There is a intense necessity for the frequency and stability of the B49 route going to KINGSBOROUGH.

The route change will negatively effect several neighborhoods and cut off ease of access to necessary locations.

Comment: Hi! I want to advocate for no change to the B48 bus. This line is a vital artery from mid-Brooklyn to North Brooklyn that is already undeserved by public transit. Without the B48 bus, there would be no direct route from my neighborhood, Crown Heights, to visit jobs, businesses, and friends in North Brooklyn neighborhoods. The proposed change does not serve the thousands who live in my community and I implore you to please reconsider. Thank you!

Comment: I am writing in strong opposition to the MTA?s plan to reroute the B48 away from Greenpoint as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network?s Redesign. This route provides a crucial connection between Crown Heights and Greenpoint that cannot be found elsewhere in the transit system. If it were removed, significant portions of Western Crown Heights and Western Bed Stuy would be left without a transit connection to North Brooklyn. I regularly use this route to travel between Crown Heights and Greenpoint and would have no other way to make this trip if it were removed. The proposal also proposes cutting overnight bus service on the B48, which would leave sections of Brooklyn along this route without buses after midnight. As a frequent rider of the B48 during the day and at night, I am writing in strong opposition of the proposal to cut overnight service as well. I would have no other way to travel if these changes were made. Please restore the initial B48 route to Greenpoint and 24 hour schedule in the final draft plan of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign. Thank you, Caroline

Comment: I would like to share my vehement opposition with the proposed redesign of the B48 bus to Greenpoint. As a resident, I love this neighborhood, but with trains already scarce along Nassau Ave, the bus is one of the few reliable ways to get around without trekking over half a mile. Less options in this neighborhood is bad for everyone, but especially people with limited mobility or those that rely on this route to get around for their daily lives. Keep the B48 serving Greenpoint!

Comment: ? Regarding eliminating Limited Bus 38 service. A large section of Bed-Stuy is not near a subway station. It used to be called ?a two-fare zone? before the transfers were made free. As a result, the B38 bus line is a very important bus line for Bed-Stuy (as well as Bushwick and other areas). Residents use the B38 to get to the J train, G train, 4, 5, A, C and others. How can a reduction of the Limited B38 bus service possibly improve service? ? A proposal has been made to move the B15 from Lewis Avenue to Marcus Garvey Blvd. Consequently, the B15 would no longer stop at Woodhull Hospital. Hospital workers as well as patients would no longer be able to take the B15 to the hospital. Also, students who attend the schools on Lewis Avenue would no longer be able to take the B15. ? A proposal has been made to move the B46 from Tompkins Avenue to Marcus Garvey Blvd. This is another proposal that shows a lack of knowledge of the community. First, the B46 stops in front of a major park in the community, Von King Park. Von King Park has a cultural center and an amphitheater that holds major events. But moreover, Tompkins Avenue is a major commercial area of small businesses, mostly minority and women owned. B46 should remain on Tompkins Avenue so residents can conveniently patronize these small businesses. Also, a reduction of bus stops would negatively impact our older adults and discriminate against our disabled residents as per the ADA.

Comment: The proposed rerouting for the B45 will be detrimental to the residents and businesses on Sterling Place between New York Ave and Rogers Avenue. The infrastructure is not able to withstand the additional and continued service of the B45 bus route. The buildings on Sterling Place are old and not fortified to withstand the heavy traffic. It will create a choke point between Nostrand and Rogers Ave. The traffic that already exists creates hazards for cyclists. There are two active garages that service the neighborhood as well as a dialysis center that provides ambulance service. In addition, every weekday from 2-5 pm the street is flooded with double parked cars who need to pick their children from Friends of Crown Heights educational center. And a Health Center Clinic will soon open between Sterling Place and Rogers Ave. Sterling Place has a significant elderly and handicapped population on the block. Eliminating additional parking will exacerbate the problem further. In lieu of this proposal we propose the following: Recommendation for B45 re-route East Bound Service: Keep West and East bound bus stops on St. John Place and New York Ave. Keep West and East bound bus stop on St. John?s Place and Nostrand Ave. Re- route B45 to turn south on Nostrand Ave then east on Eastern Parkway; turn north on New York Ave to return to it eastbound route on St. John Place. This proposal is cost saving to the city. Best, Residents on Sterling Place

Comment: As a resident of Sterling Place for 29 years i oppose to the proposal of rerouting the B45 bus down Sterling Place. Reasons are:Crown Heights is 4th leaving Asthma community, there's a Childcare and Dialysis Center on Sterling Place btw Nostrand and Rogers, traffic is congestive regularly, on days of alternate side parking, childcare drop of, dialysis drop of and pick up would cause a major delay with the bus's services. On Sterling Place btw New York Ave and Nostrand Ave there are a large number of children elderly and babies on this residential block. The structural of the street on Sterling Place is not built for buses like St. Johns Place is.

Comment: The redesign of the B45 bus route to come down Sterling Place between New York and Rogers Avenues is strongly NOT recommended! The new route will inconvenience riders on the B45 to transfer to the Nostrand Ave B44...having them to walk an extra block! The street wasn't designed to handle the extra traffic conditions. The courtesy of double parking will be eliminated. We will lose more parking spaces already taken by CitiBikes and new building construction. The traffic conditions will become more hazzardous! I chose to purchase property on this block because this is not a bus route. I strongly disagree with the B45 redesign project. Keep the existing route in place! Thank you, Jesse Vann, 212-767-9292.

Comment: Moving the B43 off of Brooklyn Ave and the B44 off of New York Ave removes nearby bus stops for people living along those avenues and makes us walk several long blocks to get bus service. Consolidating bus routes on other avenues makes the buses less convenient and less useful. I take the buses frequently now, but if both of those buses move, I will probably rarely be able to take the bus and will rely on Ubers and driving more often.

Comment: Please do not shorten service along the B43 line. This change will severely negatively impact Bed Stuy and Crown Heights, both neighborhoods do not have alternate service to North Brooklyn, and without the B43, will be cut off. This will impact mostly low income individuals. Don't be classiest, keep the access!

Comment: B40 - Rush -brochure states service decreased compared to B41 service, however the table shows increased service (denoted in green boxes). This is misleading. This should be revised to DECREASED. -table " Proposed frequency and Span" claims 24 Hours service, however, the table does not show scheduled frequency b/w midnight and 6 am, so this service is NOT 24 hours. -B41 currently serves a transit desert and service is impeded by low frequency and heavy traffic on Flatbush ave. Reducing frequency as proposed will further discourage riders from relying on the bus, and resort to personal vehicles. Bus frequency should be INCREASED to encourage ridership. MTA should collaborate with DOT/NYPD in solving congestion/double parking on Flatbush ave to improve the quality of these bus routes. I understand there is a "study" for a Flatbush Bus Lane. This should be implemented immediately alongside the bus redesign -These bus routes should be seen as "FEEDERS" to Flatbush Junction 2/5 subway trains, meaning frequency of at least 5 minutes during rush hour, and at most 10 minutes most other times. There is absolutely no explanation why a bus system with the budget of the MTA can not figure this out. The redesigns are embarrassing and a piecemeal approach to solving the transportation issues facing this city. -As a separate note, all door boarding should be implemented across the board. If European cities figured this out decades ago, not sure why the MTA is still struggling with this

Comment: re: "As a Local route, stops would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability." - on the B41 - Can the MTA show data that increasing the distances in between local stops will speed up buses on the B41 route? I have taken the B41 all my life. I have seen congestion along Flatbush Avenue increase in the last 10-15 years. (By the way, the gridlock is present on weekdays *and* on weekends.) Eliminating local bus stops will not matter much if the bus is stuck in gridlock when traveling on the *one northbound lane* that exists between Empire Boulevard and Grand Army Plaza, Eliminating local stops will not matter much if the bus is stuck in gridlock in the vicinity of Barclays Arena. Passengers like me will not see a decrease in travel time while sitting on a bus that is stuck in traffic. If the MTA is seeking to eliminate local stops on the B41 to speed up bus service, then they ought to reconsider that. That proposal will not work until the gridlock situation is addressed first.

Comment: Please consider keeping the B38 Dekalb/Ryerson and Lafayette/Grand stops. Many families in the 3 large buildings use this to commute to school. It is also much easier to access than the Classon/Dekalb as the walkway to that stop is littered with a school construction and sidewalks full of parked police cars. I have enjoyed easy access to the Q train at Dekalb and have been able to limit my car share use because I feel safer taking a bus in the evening that is closer to my home.

Comment: Please do not remove the bus stop for B36 line in front of the Asser Levy Park, since for many censor citizens, including myself, it is a very important bus line to get around. It goes to places where no other bus or train goes! People have mobility problems. Having this stop across the street from buildings 501 and 601 is a very good strategic place. Do not remove this bus stop!

Comment: Regarding the B36 route adjustments: The plan says it is removing "AVENUE Z/E 19 ST" but I think that is misleading. The stop is actually between East 18th Street and East 17th Street, and while I don't use it personally, I quite often see older adults in particular making use of it. The bus stops right in front of the Bay Fruit market, and on the same block as Stop and Shop. Grandmothers with shopping carts, older adults with bags, are often either waiting there to bring their groceries home or getting off to do some shopping. That is not a stop for commuters - it's a stop for the older adults in the community who can't use a car or don't have one. It is exactly what buses are meant to help with. I strongly suggest it be retained.

Comment: Also regarding the B36: When commuting to work, I would often walk the B36 bus route only for no buses to come, or for buses to be so full by Nostrand and Ave Y that nobody at a stop after that is able to get on anyway. I was walking (or, as many do: getting in a dollar cab that drives the route in lieu of the bus) because I couldn't even get a bus. Demand is higher for the stops between Nostrand and Ocean on Ave Z than you think. Every single morning I see people either giving up and walking or getting in cabs to get to the train station. We don't need stops removed to improve time - there's no traffic or anything here - all removing stops there will do is lower ridership because people stop using the bus. What we need is more buses/with less lead time. I'm tired of literally limping to the train because I'm having difficulty walking but no available buses come. Other times I simply gave up and drove to the train station - I would rather take the bus! But not if it's so difficult to get on as to be useless. I strongly oppose removing the Ave Z and East 28th street stop, in particular, since it is of strong utility to the many people (a mix of working folks and older adults) who live in the apartment buildings on E 28th street between Voorhies and Shore Parkway and who have no easier walk to another stop. If we want to support residential density in this neighborhood then our bus stops should accommodate for it.

This action will cause a financial hardship for many of the residents that have to transfer to the train in order to get to work. Please care about the families that live in this community and are in need of this bus service. Because of the new developments that are in the community, we need more buses not less. Please take this into consideration.

Comment: Hello. I live on the current B52 route on Greene Ave b/w Classon and Franklin. I object strenuously to the proposed rerouting of the bus. Currently, the B52 when it turns onto Greene from Fulton Street, creates a access stretch that runs the middle of the service area of the B38 and the B25. Having the B52 run along the B25 route for longer will require passengers to travel much further to access a channel to Downtown Brooklyn/other destinations.

Comment: To whom it may concern, I am strongly against the removal of the B2 bus line as it will create immense hardship for the residents in the area. We already live in a two fare zone and removing the B2 would add a huge influx of riders to what is already a crowded B100 line especially in the mornings or after school when students fill up this line to capacity. Removal of the B2 will only result in overcrowded buses, buses passing riders waiting because their bus is too full, and making it even harder for residents who don?t live close to a B100 stop. I would hope that the MTA in its efforts to ?redesign? would seek to make commuting for riders in the outer boroughs easier (or at the least maintain the current line/schedule configuration) and not further complicate what is already a long commute.

Please tell me how eliminating the B2 is going to solve this poor customer service? The B100 should have picked up passengers because this time of day more are leaving from E16 train station.

Comment: I strongly oppose the proposed service cuts on the B2 and B100 bus routes in Brooklyn. In my opinion, it would be a big mistake. I live on East 32nd Street, corner of Ave R in Marine Park. The proposed changes affect me and members of my family in two ways: - B2 being retired. This is my lifeline, connecting me to the subway lines. - B100 stop at the corner of Fillmore Ave / 32nd Str being removed. This would've been an alternative bus stop closest to my home. By my estimate, my commute to anywhere in NYC would increase by 15 mins (average) each way. Taking a bus to the Kings Plaza shopping mall will no longer be an option for me. The proposed service cuts would inevitebly increase the amount of automobile traffic not only on the streets in Marine Park neighbourhood, but also in the already traffic jammed streets near the Kings Hwy subway station (serving B and Q lines). I'm appealing to the people at the MTA agency who are capable of thinking strategically, creatively, who have a vision and the leadership skills and who look at the challenges as opportunities. Cutting services is not a viable long-term solution. If anything, our city needs MORE public transportation choices, not LESS.

Comment: The B2 is a critical component of my daily commute and discontinuing its service would be a severe hinderance to it. Given the volatility of the existing MTA service?s reliability across the city, having multiple options for every part of my commute is important so that I may get to where I need to go in a timely manner. While the B100 also terminates at Kings Highway station, I?ve found that it experiences delays too often and is too crowded during rush hour to solely rely on it for my work commute. If the MTA insists on redesigning the bus network, it MUST increase the B100 service to compensate for the lost B2 service AND/OR replace the B2 service with a new bus that provides bus access to a greater amount of people. Doing both of these will at least be a net positive change.

Comment: I ride the B100. I do understand the synergy of running the B2 and B100 consolidated. The B100 currently passes three schools - an elementary school near Flatbush, a middle school near Gerritsen, and a high school on Quentin and Bedford. I actually appreciate and support not having the B100 run along Kings Highway - from Ocean Avenue to the terminal stop (by way of Kings Highway) can take an average fo 5 minutes, to an excess of 12 minutes depending on traffic - despite not adding a single passenger. I fully support the B100 bypassing Kings Highway as a route. But I propose, in contrast to the current route, to run the B100 (and the B31) from Nostrand Avenue to East 16th Street, along Quentin (Westbound), and then turning left onto East 16th street, and looping around Avenue R back along the proposed route for eastbound service. This would avoid the left turn on Ocean Avenue, continue to serve the High School (in one direction), and ensure reduced congestion and traffic along the business district of Avenue R.

Comment: MTA is planning Rerouting the B2 bus service WITHOUT MAKING THE PROPER consultation/ study on the number of passengers using this bus. I invite you the PRESENTLY take this bus during rush hour to witness firsthand that the bus IS PACKED at 707 am, 727 am, 737 am st Kimball St stop, You CANNOT make a decision, at least a serious /fair one seating at your MTA office. I invite you to do it, like any hsrd working personnwho rides the B2. Reeouting the B2 is the most irresponsible and thoughtless/insenstivie decision. Sincerely, Msria

Comment: Please do not shift the B43 from Tompkins to Marcus Garvey and the northbound B15 from Lewis to Throop. Effectively merging the two bus lines going north-south in Bed-Stuy is a disservice to the people who live here. Please like, go take a walk and see how many people are waiting for the B43 (check out the Tompkins/Gates stop) and see how bad of an idea: folks who are disabled, people with young children, all of us need to get around and removing our access to transit is not helpful or "streamlining" processes. It makes our lives worse. I (and probably most other people who use the bus) would prefer a longer wait time to a longer walk time.

Comment: I oppose shifting the southbound B43 from Tompkins to Marcus Garvey and the northbound B15 from Lewis to Throop, as well as moving the B43 from Brooklyn to Albany Avenue. This proposed change will dramatically increase the distance needed to access public transportation and eliminate service to two important and up-and-coming commercial corridors. As residents, business owners, commuters, and consumers we demand the maintenance of bus service to Tompkins and Lewis Avenues. We do need to improve bus service in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and in Brooklyn, but eliminating routes for the mirage of decreased wait times is not the change we need.

Comment: I am being personally affected by the B13 redesign. I am a person who uses a cane to assist with my walking. I normally take the B13 bus @ 65th Street and Cooper Ave. I use the bus several times for the week to get me to doctors appointments as well as getting to Myrtle Ave to run errands and go to the supermarket. There currently is no plan to replace the B13 with another bus in my immediate area. Removing the B13 will make it impossible for me to use any form of public transportation. As a person with a disability, I am not sure how I will be able to function, with my daily/weekly appointments or errands.

Comment: I live in Liberty Park (Glendale). It borders Brooklyn. Pre-pandemic, I worked in Jersey City. For a year, I was recovering from a bone bruise, wore a plastic boot and used crutches. I could get to the B13 bus stop less than a block away on Cooper Ave. and get to/from work via the M train. While using the B13, I was struck by the full B13 bus of workers coming from Brooklyn down Cypress Hills St. each morning. I guess many from the Brooklyn-Queens border either work in Ridgewood or need to get to the M train. Now there are proposals to make it easier for Bushwick/Ridgewood folks to get to/from Highland Park/Ridgewood Reservoir. These proposals make it nearly impossible for people with disabilities in Liberty Park area to use the M train and there?s no way for folks who currently come down Cypress Hills St. from Brooklyn to get to Ridgewood or the M train as far as I can tell. If I were still using crutches and working in Jersey City, I couldn?t work there with these proposed changes. I guess could TRY to use the dial-a-ride service (HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED $$$$). Getting to/from work is a must-have. Getting to/from Highland Park/Ridgewood Reservoir is a nice-to-have. Can?t the MTA come up with a plan that does both? So far, the proposed plans indicate they can?t. If that?s the case, the MTA must make a choice. Choosing one plan will result in disappointed park-goers. Choosing the other will result in lawsuits from people with disabilities. What?s your choice MTA?

Comment: The B13 service is being removed from Cypress Hills St and Cooper Ave in the neighborhood called Liberty Park. This will leave many of our residents without service. We live in a transit desert so the bus is VERY important. We have many riders who take the bus in both directions.

The B13 bus is the only way for me to get to the train station for work or doctor appointments. Your proposed removal of B13 on Cooper Ave between 64 St & Cypress Hills St will leave me & many others stranded in this ?transportation desert? area of Queens.

Comment: As a resident of Libert Park I am not in favor of re routing the B13 away from Cypress Hill street and Cooper Ave. We use this route to access the J and Z on the other side of Highland Park. Residents here already have limited public transport access. The proposed plan would make it worse.

Comment: The proposed bus route for the B13 bus creates difficulty for residents of Liberty Park in Glendale. If the bus no longer travels on Cypress Hills Street and Cooper Ave. residents in the area will have to walk to Cooper Ave and 62 Street to get the bus. This will be especially hard on senior citizens. There will also be difficulty in making connections to the J and Z trains.

Comment: I ask you to respectfully reconsider your plan to eliminate the B13 bus service from our area. The Liberty Park area will suffer greatly from not having the B13 run over Cypress Hills Street. Many of our elderly, student-age children and those residents without a car will face a difficult future without a close bus route near them. As a lifelong Liberty Park resident, I oppose this redesign.

Comment: The B103 ought to run closer to the L train station at E 105, as well as down more of E 105th St in general. A lot of people who live on or near E 105th find it rather inconvenient that they still need to walk a long distance before or after taking the B103, especially when many of them are only doing so because they wish to get to the E 105 L train station. Canarsie Rockaway Parkway might be easier to transfer to via the bus, but actually taking the bus necessary to get to that station is more inconvenient for many of us. The bus is supposed to be convenient to use and make other areas of Brooklyn more accessible. For those of us who don't have cars or other vehicles, commuting in Brooklyn and accessing the trains can be very difficult. We only have one train that runs in Canarsie, the L train. The B103 should make it easier for those of us who rely on that train to access it. Adding benches and roofs to bus stops along the B103 line would also be helpful as many people who take the bus have physical disabilities and cannot stand up for 20-30 minutes at a time waiting for a bus in case they missed the first one. People coming from the train often have to stand up and practically hurt themselves just to get on a bus that might not even have a seat available for them depending on the stop they get on at. Just make the buses accessible, affordable, and convenient. That's why we use them, after all.

Comment: B103 bus - proposed extending service for Canarsie residents to L Train 105th Street station - NOT New Lots #3 train. Tis is a dis-service to our community. Extending to 105 L train and Gateway Mall will better service our community in zip code 11236.

Comment: Please leave the B103ltd route as it is. The B103 serves many people who go to and from downtown Brooklyn. Using the B103 reduces crowding on the B and Q line subways. Thank you.

Comment: Please don't eliminate the Downtown Brooklyn B103. Canarsie has such limited subway access because the L train doesn't connect to that many Brooklyn subways. The version of the B103 that goes all the way to Downtown Brooklyn connects with multiple subway routes along the way. We need busses that run across the borough. The B103 connects so many neighborhoods and we need more busses that connect Brooklyn across neighborhoods.

Comment: My family and I were upset to learn that we will no longer have a B103 stop at Church and E 7th and that no bus line is being proposed to replace our service. We rely on that line for summer camp and planned to rely on it for school at MS 447 next year and we now have no good bus options. Please reconsider.

Comment: I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed changes to the B103 route. I am a senior citizen who continues to work and relies exclusively on the B103 to travel from my home in Kensington to my job in Canarsie. Without this bus line, I would be required to take 3 separate buses to get to and from work. In essence, I would need to stop working because my job location would become inaccessible to me. I do not drive and believe strongly in public transit. I urge you to reconsider the planned changes for the B103 route, and hope that you recognize the essential nature of this route to me and many others like me.

Comment: I'm a senior with disabilities that has lived in Coney Island all my life and all the buses and bus stop that are being reduced or taking away I use to go to my doctor's appointment and also to shop. I can't use the stairs and not all your train station are handicapped accessible and if you do have them they're out of order. Please leave the bus route alone. You claim that it will shorten the time and that is not true. Sometimes you have 2-3 buses back to back,or it's too crowded for me to get on and I have to wait for the next bus to take to get home and the bus drivers can sometimes be rude and when asked to lower the ramp it's with an attitude. I shouldn't have to ask them to lower the ramp. It's not my fault they don't drive up to the curbside or if there are other cars parked by the bus stop I can go on and on but I'm sure I am not the only senior with disabilities. You need to cut the service somewhere else like in Manhattan.

Bus stop theme: Too many bus stops
Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): 
Comment: The interval between stops needs to be longer, at least 2-3 blocks each (especially when some blocks are very short). Having a stop every block is counter-intuitive to taking a bus, and only makes the entire journey much slower and inefficient. The bus stops needs to be BEFORE a traffic light, since there's been one too many instances where you have to wait for a green light, and then wait some more for the bus to make a stop. It wastes so much time. You could maximize the wait time by embarking/disembarking passengers while also waiting for the stop sign. All in all, I would be taking more buses if it came more frequently, and also if the ride itself was faster (by eliminating the number of stops and putting the stops in a more time effective places like before the traffic light)

Comment: first of all I take the express bus as an educator that did not have the option to stay home during covid I felt safe being able to ride from coney island to manhattan and it has continued for three yrs now not only do I take it during the week I work on the weekends where this bus is always crowded how can you justify this . Secondly ppl live past the cyclone you are skipping stops where elderly ppl live and they definitely ride the 36 and the 74 needs to stay the same instead of taking stops away that route should run every 10 minutes and start earlier and end later that is the most inconsistent bus ever I am born and raised in coney island you can contact me at anytime

Comment: These bus stops are critical in our community. Keep in mind you have a lot of senior citizens, school kids, handicapped, special needs. We need these bus stops to be active Not eliminated. As a matter of fact, more people are using devices, such as wheelchairs, shopping carts, baby carriages. People will not make their doctor appointments timely or other business reason. This is Not the community where everyone has a vehicle. There?s no where to park. Coney Island will be over populated with all the new buildings coming in this area. We need ever last bus stop.Quality of life is essential.

Comment: The bus redesign in Coney Island ; based on non existent/falsemetrics... is an intentional disregard to the Coney Island community. Moreover, it pretty much leaves our senior citizens and commuting workforce solely dependent on the local public bus/subways; which are consistently unreliable and unsafe. I travel solely on the express bus to work... it is quite honestly the only transportation resource, that curbs my anxiety about public safety while commuting. This is blatant classism and further disservice to an already undeserved community:

Comment: B-13 I am not happy with the redesign of this bus route. You do not give the specific information about the Queens bus routes that will service this area. Also, this is not a workable change for the elderly population or the student population of this area. This is a hardship for those who need public transportation to get to work, school, Wyckoff Hospital and other areas of our neighborhood.

Comment: Please do not change the bus lines in red hook. There are many elderly citizens in our neighborhood and putting barriers up for them would be a terrible idea. Red hook is already very isolated from the train and removing stops would make accessing the train even harder. The bus is the lifeline to services outside of the neighborhood.

I suggest removing 1 of those because they're so close to each other. And probably only active when the park is being used in warmer months.

Caller states MTA chooses to confuse commuters; for example the Bus routes has changed it is a further walk to the bus stop, the moved the bus stop from busy locations like super markets and other shopping locations and churches, the bus stops are now two or blocks away.

Comment: CB 5 I’m interested in the BM5 a couple of years ago we were presented with the option of either making stop along Woodhaven Boulevard in Queens en route to Brooklyn or the Route would be discontinued if the stops weren’t made here it is today the bus is packed why can’t the QM16 or QM17 accommodate those who live in queens I pay $6.75 for a comfortable one seat ride if nothing is done I will lean on the express bus advocacy group

Comment: I love the B55 and all the new connections, but the B15 is a great service for Brownsville and East New York- will disrupt peoples lives. It should go to the airport. Also, the overnight and early in the morning service on the B15 is really bad- airport employees rely on this bus and a friend of mine lost her job due to needing to take cabs. It is also great to have a one seat ride to the airport for travellers.

Comment: Dear President Davey,
I am writing to you regarding the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign plan as it pertains to community district 11. Our community is home to an estimated 207,000 residents, of which 15.3% are age 65 and over, and segments of the community are formally designated as a Naturally Recurring Retirement Community (NORC). 55% of our residents are foreign born and 48% of our residents self-identify as having limited English proficiency.
The proposed changes and redesign of the bus routes and bus stops within Community Board 11 will negatively impact our most vulnerable residents who rely on bus service. Without the MTA sharing bus stop utilization numbers, we cannot support the removal or relocation of bus stops.
The discontinuation of the B64 at 4th Avenue impacts students and commuters from Bensonhurst who attend Xaverian High School, use the Express Ferry Service, the parks and American Veterans Memorial Pier.
The discontinuation of the B6 from Shore Parkway impacts shoppers and workers from accessing the large box stores located along this segment. We are additionally concerned that these changes are proposed without presenting a feasibility study or operational plan.
Therefore, at the general meeting of Community Board 11 held on Thursday, March 9, 2023, the board unanimously adopted a resolution calling upon the MTA to hold additional opportunities for community input and outreach by hosting pop-up locations throughout the district, opposes any bus stop removal, maintain the B6 route on Shore Parkway, maintain the B64 route to Shore Road, opposes any routing or time changes to the Express Bus Service, and maintain the B4 route to service Coney Island Hospital and local High Schools.
Sincerely,
Marnee Elias-Pavia,  District Manager CB11

Comment: A constituent reached out with some feedback about a few bus stops that are scheduled to be removed. I told her that she should put in a comment online but she asked me to mention her comments to our contact at MTA as well. Here are her requests:
 
1. On the eastbound B11 route, the stop at 50th St and 20th Ave is scheduled to be removed.
-Constituent’s request: She would like this stop to remain in place as is.
-My observations from taking this bus: The bus will likely be stopped at this location anyway due to both a red light and traffic backups. Immediately after this stop, 50 St merges into Dahill Rd, which causes a backup. Immediately after that, it hits an intersection (Dahill Rd and 20 Ave) which is also frequently backed up.

2. On the eastbound B6 route, the stop at Ave J and East 5th St is scheduled to be removed.
-Constituent’s request: She would like this stop to remain in place as is.
-My thoughts: I think it makes more sense to remove the stop at Bay Pkwy/East 3 St than this one (Ave J/East 5 St), as that one is two short blocks from the McDonald Ave/East 3 St stop and is also right by a cemetery. Having said that, this stop would then be pretty close to the one across Ocean Pkwy.

Comment: agree with Debra, the thinking that riders with dissabilities will have access to travel is ridiculous since those stops have no accessibility. also the limited busses ae a valuable asset to the community, what needs to be done is regulate the schedule for limited busses. the idea that bus service will be every 10 minutes is not feesible you are not taking into account the amount of bike lanes and existing traffic that congests this route

Comment: I am all in support of eliminating the B63 Southbound stop at 3rd Ave/Shore Road/hydrant. The drivers use this stop as if it is the terminal and harass the residence by backing up beeping and idling constantly. They also use this stop as a bus depot where B63s would sit for hours. When it is cold or hot out, they turn their engines on and off, on and off. The noise and the gas exhaust is a constant annoyance and harmful to our health.

Comment: A major gap in the Brooklyn rapid transport network is a lack of connection between North Brooklyn and the rest of the Borough. It seems like the proposed routes are already doing a good job of this, but I just want to drive the point that the bus network needs to do a good job of filling these gaps

Comment: I strongly oppose this redesign. It does not at all serve the community. It will drastically increase the amount of walking time for countless members of a population that depends on the current bus system. It will increase commute time overall. I approached this with an open mind but have found no reason at all to support this extremely wrongheaded proposal. I see many people happily take the bus two or three blocks - this is why the bus is useful. Maybe walking those two blocks is out of the question for you, and you rely on the bus to do this. We don't need everything to be express, requiring tons of walking on either end. This proposal is a travesty - completely disruptive and out of touch with the populations that rely on the bus.

Comment: Don?t you guys ever think to make things easier for the public? Especially when it comes to the express buses. There are people who like to take the express buses into Manhattan. I feel that the fare for the senior citizens should be all day and not after 5pm and charge the customer 6.75. You guys don?t use your brain and think to make it easier for the customers. Also, you guys are always raising the fare on the trains and buses. Don?t you guys ever think about making it easier for the public? I can only imagine what the public thinks about you guys. We are getting sick and tired of the high prices that you guys charge us to ride the buses and subways.

Mid-day frequency that's closer to peak frequency would help reduce the ratio of non-revenue/revenue hours. Would appreciate if you could allocate some money to get more efficient service

Comment: I have heard from various sources that the MTA is planning to change current Q66 bus service to express from Flushing to Manhattan, with a dedicated bus lane. This is a bad idea. 1. Express service would not serve those of us west of Flushing on the Northern Blvd corridor who rely on this bus to manage our lives. We were overlooked when Q33 service to LGA was discontinued in favor of the 70, which doesn't serve us. Are we to be overlooked so that Flushing can reach Manhattan more conveniently, and vice versa? There is 7 train express service. 2. Northern Blvd is already heavily burdened with traffic due to the closure of 34 Ave. Eliminating one lane of traffic each direction further burdens NB and the adjacent avenues. NB is a main artery.

Comment: All Q44SBS double buses tend to block 14th ave and vanwyck service road intersection. This is a cronic problem. This prohibits 14ave traffic from proceeding causing heavy backups along 14 ave. I attended the MTA study a few years ago at the college point council meeting where the MTA planned to reroute the Q44 along the vanwyke expway service road rather then turning along 14thave to continue its route along Parsons Blvd, in order to prevent the back up of traffic along 14th ave.. That was 2 years ago. The only other solution is that the bus drivers be good enough to realize that by beating their light on 14th ave, they will be blocking traffic in the other direction on 14th ave. This is too much to ask i guess. Im sure that this is not the only place this happens in this city . The double buses are too big for the city congestion and a bad idea in the first place. And this is one reason that we have gridlock. I will also be submitting a complaint to DOT.. Thanks for your help in this matter

What incentive is there for people to ride the bus when the bus driver passes you and others at the stop and keeps driving? What incentive is there to use the bus when busses arrive 7-9 minutes early and you cannot properly plan your life when you rely on the bus to get to work? What incentive to use the bus is there if 2 empty busses follow each other and the next bus isn?t for 21 minutes and is completely full. This is ridiculous. Get it together.

My commute from Mill Basin takes anywhere from 60 - 95 minutes, dependent, I find, on traffic along Ocean Avenue. Can the BM1 be routed along Ocean Parkway instead?

I also take the bus very early when it is dark (I work at a nurse and take the first bus heading to Manhattan). To remove this stop means I would have to go to Flatlands and East 80 which typically has a lot more crime or to the stop after by Ralph Avenue which is near a project building. Also very dangerous there is always police activity there.

this is not a good stop to remove in this community. It doesn't consider safety at all

Thedistance between Strickland and Ohio Walk, Ohio Walk and Mayfair North, Mayfair North and Basset Walk, and Basset Walk and Mayfair South are pretty even. No stops between 56th Drive and Avenue U should be removed on the local route (no objection on the Express Route)

Comment: The stop for the B100 westbound should be maintained here, (or moved to East 63rd and U). There is a Public School, a Yeshiva, and a shul within 1 block. It also serves a vital transfer point, for those in Mill Basin, going to Canarsie / up Ralph Ave, and serves as a mechanism for those without a car to access the pharmacy / Amazon drop-off point across the street.

A replacement stop, at East 63rd Street (in front of PS 236, across from the shul) is a more "measured" stop, and would allow access to the pharmacy (Rite Aid) on the corner of Mill and U, and the pizza store / restaurant / study area between Ave U and Strickland (along Mill Ave)

Comment: I live in Clinton Hill and I am not a fan of the B52 switch to Gates. I ride the B25, B26, and B25 everyday mostly to take my kids to and from school in downtown Brooklyn (by the way it is amazing that I have all of these bus options!) I often chose to take the B52, especially in the afternoon, because it turns down Greene and avoids the Fulton St. traffic. There is a lot of traffic on Fulton St. both in the mornings but especially by 4pm. Things move relatively quickly through the Fulton mall and then into Fort Greene but after Lafayette it starts to get very slow and continues like that. If the B52 continues down Fulton, even for those few blocks, it will only add to that traffic, plus it makes the ride itself longer.

Comment: I live on Gates and Cambridge and I am concerned about the B52 traveling both ways down a street that is narrow and already has trouble with traffic. We have had three experiences in the past few years where we have almost been hit by cars when we've been taking our kids out of their car seats. Our parked car has been hit twice on that block (which has resulted in damage.) The street is too narrow for two ways of traffic as it is but to add buses to that is going to make it even less safe for pedestrians.

Comment: I took my son to school from Clinton Hill to Bed Stuy along this route for a year and this stop [GATES/ MARCUS GARVEY] is truly terrible. The B52 was often delayed (especially in the afternoons around 4pm running back to Clinton Hill) and the buses were often clustered. There is no other public transportation anywhere near this intersection (the B26 is like six blocks away) and having to rely on the B52 was really horrible. Many of the families who went to the school over here would take cars because they didn't find the bus reliable (and they were lucky they could afford to do that! Other families, especially in the neighborhood to not have that option.) It would really help if there was a designated bus lane and bus specific stop lights along Gates on these streets so the buses could avoid the traffic and help serve the many people (especially kids!) who need to take this bus to and from school. Waiting for the bus for 25 minutes is not acceptable in New York City!

Comment: The new endpoint of the B61 stops at the same place the F train stops.  This leaves out people traveling from Red Hook and Park Slope who are traveling to 18th and 19th streets.  That little hook at the end is really useful to a lot of older working ladies.There are several schools along that stretch: MS 88, K758, K443, K863, Brooklyn Urban Garden Charter, Therapy and Learning Center, Mesilas Bais Yakov.  Staff of all these take the B61 and get off along 19th street.  The 7th Avenue buses go there, but not from the lower numbered avenues and Red Hook.

Comment: The intersection at Flatbush Avenue and Avenue H is heavily congested and highly unsafe for pedestrians. This is due to the lack of good road design and traffic control throughout the Avenue H / Nostrand Avenue / Flatbush Avenue junction area.

What plans does the MTA have to enhance pedestrian safety at this intersection in connection with the bus route redesign? If more buses travel to this destination the congestion will only get worse.

Bear in mind that there are solutions. The first and easiest solution would be to enforce parking restrictions. This area is heavily congested with dollar vans, for hire cars, and other passenger vehicles that the police permit to double park everywhere around this intersection with impunity.

Road congestion in this area is HORRIBLE AND UNSAFE and the MTA should do its part to contribute to an improvement.

Comment: Moving the B15 puts people living in central Bed-Stuy already in a transit hole into a bigger one. The northbound bus is extremely useful for getting from the A/C Utica Ave subway stop and getting to the M/J Flushing subway stop. The proposed move would eliminate those options and leave a huge gap.

Comment: Removal of both the B13 AND the B38 to Metropolitan routes leaves this area without adequate public transit. This will likely increase the amount of cars used by families and individuals, in an area that is already extremely congested with personal vehicles. The only train line available for use is the M, which we often see service issues with, such as service termination at Essex St from Metropolitan Ave. Not to mention, many new small businesses are opening their doors to an already limited local community--this will surely make it more difficult for these businesses to maintain consistent clientele. I believe that maintaining the B13 route as is through Ridgewood and Glendale, in particular,  would at least alleviate potential congestion on the M train as consistent riders (as these communities tend to be more working class) commute from the Myrtle-Wyckoff stop. This route is also a direct connection to the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center--the change of this route leaves those in need in these areas without access via public transit.

Comment: Hello I am a 30 plus years resident of Coney Island in Brooklyn. These bus stops benefits the whole neighborhood. We have children, working adults, handicapped passengers and senior citizens that ride these buses in Coney Island. It would be unfair to all of us if we didn?t have these bus stops in our community. It?s not fair that Coney Island residents are always targeted and threatened to get not only our homes but our way out of the neighborhood taken from us. I am opposed to the redesigning of these bus stops. Instead of taking from us how about sending the longer buses into our neighborhood so that every passenger going to school and work can get on the bus without having to worry about squeezing onto the buses. If you have it in your heart think about the younger children and senior citizens having to walk far just to get on the bus. It isn?t fair to make those types of changes when we have a variety of people that need to be in close proximity to these bus stops. Thank you for your time.

Comment: It makes no sense to eliminate the Beaumont St stop. No time is saved because no buses stop at both Beaumont and Dover on the same trip. You are just making the walk longer for customers. Replacing Beaumont and Dover on the south side of Oriental Blvd also makes no sense because no time is saved by the buses for the same reason. Additionally, two new trees were just planted on the far side of Coleridge which would have to be destroyed. There is a driveway on the near side, which is not optimal for a bus stop. No one benefits by these changes. Customers are only inconvenienced.

Comment: I am a physically disabled resident of Bed-Stuy and rely on the B43 for access to the rest of my neighborhood as well as Williamsburg and Crown Heights. I am only able to walk fairly short distances, so my proximity to the B43 (I live on Willoughby in between Tompkins and Throop) is very important to my mobility. The proposed change to the B43 and B15 lines would make southbound access to the commercial center of Bed-Stuy and to Crown Heights basically inaccessible to me. Additionally, just north of where I live there are several NYCHA complexes (Sumner and Tompkins), with a high density of bus riders relying on both the B43 and B15. I often see a lot of elderly and disabled riders getting on and off at those stops and I figure that they will be similarly affected (even with the B54, introducing a transfer makes travel more difficult physically and mentally). The B43 change also creates a 4-block wide gap in southbound service, almost half a mile. In the middle of this gap is Herbert von King park, reducing access to one of the largest green spaces and cultural centers in the neighborhood.

Comment: You cannot discontinue the B2 bus. The B2 bus is an essential bus for my neighborhood. It serves many elderly people who cannot walk the extra distance to the replacement, B100, including my mother. Also, having taken the B100 many times, by the time it gets to our area, the busses are often completely full and don't even stop. We wind up waiting for multiple buses to go by and often can't get on a bus for sometimes 30 minutes only to be completely stuffed in like sardines. It would be a serious disservice to people who already live in a seriously underserved neighborhood.

Comment: As a BedStuy resident, I stand with my neighbors in opposition to the proposed Brooklyn Bus Route Redesign to eliminate all bus service to Tompkins and Lewis Avenues. This proposed change will dramatically increase the distance needed to access public transportation and eliminate service to two important and up-and-coming commercial corridors. As residents, business owners, commuters, and consumers we demand the maintenance of bus service to Tompkins and Lewis Avenues. We do need to improve bus service in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and in Brooklyn, but eliminating routes in the guise of decreased wait times is not the change we need.

Comment: Please keep the B43 bus on Tompkins! The new plan would essentially eliminate the only North-South bus routes in Bed-Stuy. It would also reduce access to the upcoming Tompkins business corridor. Most importantly, it would dramatically increase the amount of distance between public transport options, and for my elderly and disabled neighbors it would become a real hardship. Thank you.

Comment: I am totally against your cutting of services on the X27 and x37 lines. This mode of transportation is only our 2nd in Bay Ridge. We have the R train which has all kinds of challenges on a regular basis and then we have the two Express buses that take us to ManhattAn. We have many seniors who can only use the bus for health and safety reasons. Why does this happen to us every couple of years that we have to fight to keep these Express bus lines? What is your agenda? We pay more property taxes than other wealthier nearby communities who have multiple means of transportation to get into the city. We are willing to pay a more expensive fare to keep these buses going? And, now again you threaten us with cutting services. This is unacceptable and must end now.

Comment: Please do not reduce the frequency of x27 buses along shore road. During weekday peak hours, some buses are full to capacity. Also coming into Brooklyn from Manhattan during rush hour around 5-7pm, the buses already don't come veery often they should not be reduced further. The express bus is the only option along Shore Road and with the increase of violence on the subways, many more people are turning to the express bus in the Bay Ridge neighborhood.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Retain existing routing
Comment: The proposed re-routing of the B69 to no longer terminate in DUMBO will have a significant negative impact on the residents of Clinton Hill and the Wallabout/Navy Yard/Downtown Brooklyn neighborhoods served by the line. There is a large population north/northwest of any subway stations that is given a connection to the DUMBO area by the current B69 route. Furthermore, there are a number of in-construction and planned large multifamily developments in this area that will add to the population that would be left without viable transportation options if the B69 route is modified. Please reconsider the proposed change to the route and do not leave DUMBO unconnected from these areas. Many people rely on the route to get to work daily and also to access the waterfront and Brooklyn Bridge Park from an otherwise greenspace-starved neighborhood. A successful bus network must have convenient access to bus stops and frequent RELIABLE service (with travel times accounting for walk time from a rider's origin to the stop and the dwell time waiting for a bus to arrive).

Comment: On the Brooklyn Bus Redesign Map, I do not see services for X27,X28,X37, and X38 routes any longer. These buses are VITAL to the Bay Ridge and Southern Brooklyn Communities. There need to be more buses added to these routes, not less. Shore Road is very far from the trains and we rely on express bus service to get both into the city and the Coney Island/Seagate areas.

Comment: Moving northbound B15 service from Lewis to Throop would not be a service improvement. Currently, we can easily transfer from A/C trains at Utica station to B15 bus with a one block. A one block walk is all it takes to transfer from B15 bus to J/M trains at Myrtle. Having to take a bus to/from Throop to make these transfers would be inconvenient and increase commute times.

There are many Seniors and students who use those bus stops and removing those bus stops will greatly impact our Seniors especially. I feel like the people who quickly make these decisions DO NOT live in our area NOR ride the bus or train. Why not go after the fare beaters and stop picking on law abiding Seniors!!!!

Comment: I would like to comment on the proposal change to the B43 and B15. Eliminating part of all of one of these routes in Bedstuy would make it very difficult for so many people to travel. So many people between Fulton and Broadway Rey on the B15 up and down Lewis/Marcus Garvey since the subway stops are so far apart. Additionally the route down Lewis provides easy access to Woodhull hospital for so many members of the community. Please do not go through with this proposal.

Subways are out of the question due to safety reasons and steps. I as a senior use the bus not only on weekdays but on Saturdays. I along with many people I know use the bus for work, doctor?s visits, shopping and Broadway shows. Maybe ridership is down due to the high cost of the bus. We are so busy giving out paths for bicycles and scooters but not for the pedestrian.

Comment: In regards to the redesign and how it impacts North Brooklyn, specifically Greenpoint. I?d like to make sure that the MTA is communicating with DOT about the McGuinness Boulevard redesign. The MTA?s current route change for the B62 is to move it to McGuiness, which is currently a 4 lane street and would be fine. However, DOT is currently working with government officials, Lincoln Restler and Emily Galagher, on making it a two lane street with an expansion of pedestrian sidewalks and a new protected bike lane. This change to McGuiness would cause the new B62 bus route to not only have traffic delays, but also cause an increase in traffic that the lane reduction is already going to increase. Can someone confirm that the two departments are discussing these changes and how they?ll impact each others proposals?

Also it allows Senior freedom to go downtown to pay their bills, continue to live independently and go to their doctors appointments. This is for the stops LAFAYETTE AV/GRAND AV to RIDGEWOOD METRO AV and DE KALB AV/RYERSON AV to DOWNTOWN BKLN TILLARY ST. No other information was provided.

Comment: Please don?t eliminate bus stops for the x37- we already have the subway that?s a far walk - we don?t need both options far away. I also feel having less stops would create quality of life issues for the stops with residential buildings/homes (longer curbside pickups- which brings longer periods of bus noise, more people- brings more people noise while waiting, as well as more litter at theses stops). It?s a headache for all. Thanks.

Comment: Not everyone can take the subway. Not everyone can ride a bike. Cutting service on the x27/28/37/38 lines affects people?s livelihoods and will drive people out of the city or into their cars. Or is that the point-increase the lining of agency (and their executives) pockets to get people to pay the $23 congestion pricing in their cars?

Comment: To remove stops in NORCS ( Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities) is unfair and simply wrong. Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay have people retiring in place and can?t walk long distances to catch a bus several blocks away. There is nothing wrong with the B-1, B-4 and B-49 service aside from inconsiderate drivers standing in bus stops. We need more enforcement or dedicated bus lanes but removing bus stops hurts our large and growing senior population and is unfair.

Comment: I am commenting on the B38 as that's the bus I take most frequently. The Limited buses should continue but make fewer stops. It's not fair for riders at the far east end of the route to have to make so many stops to get to downtown Brooklyn where they may do jury duty or need to go to a municipal office. Stops should be where needed e.g. one near Pratt and St. Joseph University and again at Brooklyn Hospital which would also service Brooklyn Tech. So many stops on regular service should not be removed. Removing Carlton Ave stop means there are 6 blocks between Vanderbilt and So Portland. For a senior or someone with mobility issues the 3 blocks in either direction could be a hardship. Also we need better service to DUMBO. Especially at night it's difficult to get to. The B54 currently can be used but the proposal is to reroute the line. The DOT is aggressively discouraging personal car service while the MTA wants to take away bus stops. Do city agencies ever talk to each other? Thanks.

Comment: I'm writing to comment on the proposed changes to the B103. The discontinuation of service on 3rd and 4th Avenues is a TERRIBLE idea! As a Ditmas Park/Kensington resident, I rely on the B103 to get to the west side of Park Slope as well as downtown Brooklyn. It's a super convenient route that allows Ditmas Park residents to have easy access to services that are not available in our neighborhood (medical appointments, religious services, supermarkets, hair salons, restaurants, clothing stories and other retail, etc). By shortening the B103, you will be cutting off a vital transportation lifeline both for business and personal use. PLEASE maintain the direct connection between Cortelyou Road and Livingston St.

Comment: Hello, I have recently learned that the MTA plans to cut many express bus routes between Manhattan and Brooklyn. This is unacceptable. The express bus is a vital part of transport for South Brooklyn, especially since a lot of the area is not accessible by the Subway. The express bus offers an easy, relatively cheap way to get into and from Manhattan, losing this service would be devastating to countless people who live in South Brooklyn and work in Manhattan. This new plan is unfair to South Brooklynites. Without the express bus, we must make our way to the D train, which can be a far walk or a long wait for a local bus to take us there. I urge you to reconsider cutting these services in the new plan.

Comment: Please do not combine the B43 and B15 bus lines in Bed Stuy. These buses are lifelines in an area that is dnesely populated and projected to be more populated as the gentrification efforts continue. But we have very little access to trains and the buses provide excellent service to so many people in the neighborhood. Removing the buses would only bring more cars or more unlicensed tro tros to fill the gap.

Comment: The proposal of the B55SBS along Church Avenue is essential for riders living along Church Avenue. It will provide quick service, and create a new connection across the East side of Brooklyn and Queens to JFK Airport, however, it is vital that a bus lane is added along Church Avenue. The current B35 is extremely LIMITED when it comes to serving Church Av. The traffic is absolutely horrific along the corridor and the wait times between stations are bad. If the B55SBS is going to be continued, it is vital that bus lanes are added along Church Avenue to benefit both the B35 and the B55SBS.

Comment: Do not remove B43 service from Tompkins and Lewis Avenue! This is a crucial stop in our neighborhood, providing access for residents to travel the rest of the borough and access an economic center of our neighborhood. Removing access to bus lines is NOT improving the MTA - it is just disguising improvement under the curtailment of service.

Comment: I represent the Brooklyn Navy Yard shuttle transportation program and the proposal to eliminate the B67 travelling through the Brooklyn Navy Yard will adversely affect the commute of many Yard employees utilizing this modal option, as well as put increased stress on the BNY shuttle network which is already operating at or near full capacity during the peak travel times. In addition, many Yard employees use the B57 as a part of their commute and there is a safety concern with moving this route to Park Ave. The area of Park Ave. in the vicinity of the Navy Yard is very dimly lit and typically suffers from heavy traffic congestion during peak hours.

Comment: Once again you are proving that the MTA management should be totally replaced by folks who actually ride on NY?s buses and subways. Taking out the full service line of the B103 bus is doing an active disservice to we who use this line constantly. I think that even proposing this change shows the microscopic concern the MTA has for the citizenry in Brooklyn. Yes, the pandemic has removed passengers from the MTA systems, but cutting back routes and services is certainly not conducive to bringing back passengers. Perhaps your managers should all be required to live within the confines of the outer Burroughs of this city, and be required to ride as we do, before moving up into the exalted and lofty ranks of decision making at the MTA . Your decisions show a true disdain for the welfare of the citizen riders.

Comment: I am very concerned that the proposed changes will leave the area between Nostrand and Throop / Marcus Garvey, and Myrtle and Dekalb without bus coverage. I live at Tompkins and Vernon, and this will triple the length of my walk to the bus. I have limited mobility, and rely on the B43 for transit, so this would be a very major challenge for my life. It would be very preferable to leave the B43 on Tompkins, with a dedicated lane, while removing excess stops, or move it to Marcus Garvey, but leave at least one stop between Myrtle and Dekalb. It's just too far.

Comment: I?m commenting in favor of maintaining the current b43 and b15 bus routes that service Tompkins Ave and Lewis Ave respectively. These routes provide better access to residents of Bed Stuy and direct traffic through two emerging business corridors in the neighborhood. Moving the routes will diminish or cancel out both benefits.

Comment: I am a Bedstuy resident and use the B43 bus regularly, which runs one avenue away from where I live. Please do not get rid of this public good by eliminating the B43 line and combining it with the B15! Bedstuy deserves high quality transportation.

Comment: This one really concerns me. Moving the southbound 43 so far over makes a huge difference for people in these areas. From the perspective of being on foot and navigating these neighborhoods, it's really far. And you loose the connection around the C at at Kingston Throop

Comment: This is my other main concern - losing the Bedford Ave south option. there are already multiple ways to travel south on nostrand. Yes Tori but my other concerns about it still stand. It's a big change and many people would not be able to catch it on the new route. I used to rely on this bus for work commute and know many others do as well

Comment: The B10 is a good proposal. It would make it easier to travel from SW Crown Heights over to Utica Avenue, which is a major corridor. The B43 turns on Kingston, leaving a huge gap between Kington and Utica. Bus service along the B45, which could run more often, doesn't quite cut it

Comment: Please do not eliminate service on the X28 (or BM8; I don?t care what you call it) on weekdays during non-rush hour times. My neighbors and I take that bus into Manhattan in the afternoons for doctor?s appointments. Sometimes we take it home from Manhattan in the morning if we have early appointments. We need the bus to run off-peak so we can tend to our health. This is all the more so now that all these new condos are being built in Coney Island. If anything we will need more service, not less. Thank you.

Comment: I am a 75year old woman who has been living in the Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill area for over 40 yrs, My closest form of public transportation is the Myrtle Ave., B54 Bus. In Fall/2019, you reduced the frequency of the B54 Bus claiming this was due to low ridership while totally dismissing our petitions and protest against this action. Since your reduction of the frequency of the B54, the bus is almost always crowded, runs slower and has no reliability. On 12/30/2022, at approximately 2:00pm at the Washington and Myrtle stop, I waited over 45minutes for an Eastward bound bus. Two of the bus customers called car services which came within seven minutes leaving myself, an older gentleman with a cane and a mother with two small children standing at the bus stop, When the bus finally arrived, we had to flag the busdriver down between two double parked cars. My bi ggest fear when riding the 54 bus is that I won't be able to get off the bus at my stop due to overcrowding at the door..I try to ride this bus only between the hours of 10:00am and 2:00pm.to avoid the physical exertion of getting off the bus.. Now, you have devised a plan to eliminate bus stops that are"within a walking distance", Who does that refer to and what does it mean to an older person like me who might have mobility issues or who walks with a walker or a cane. What does "within walking distance" mean to a mother who has a toddler when there is snow,ice, rain or other forms or inclimate weather? Walking to another bus stop could lead to a dangerous incident for some bus customers. Stop the persecution of bus customers due to traffic congestion. Get DOT to put up bus cameras, dedicated bus lanes, enforce the traffic laws and schedule a time for truck deliveries and pickups.

Comment: This proposed change will dramatically increase the distance needed to access public transportation and eliminate service to two important and up-and-coming commercial corridors. As residents, business owners, commuters, and consumers we demand the maintenance of bus service to Tompkins and Lewis Avenues. We do need to improve bus service in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and in Brooklyn, but eliminating routes for the mirage of decreased wait times is not the change we need.

Comment: Please do not take the B43 away from Tompkins and those stops. That area already has too little access to MTA transportation via the subway. Taking away those bus stops would be brutal to commuters there. It would be unconscionable to take them away.

Comment: Hi! I viewed the draft plans for the new B43 and B15 routes and wanted to comment that while these new routes may be optimal for city planning and traffic, changing the B43 off Tompkins and Brooklyn Av and the B15 off Lewis would dramatically change many Bed Stuy and Crown Heights residents' lives. I relied on the bus heavily during early pandemic and noticed a lot of riders are struggling to even make the bus fare. They are just trying to get to where they want to go, and have lived in their neighborhoods a long time, fighting gentrification and higher rent. Moving the buses to different avenues makes it hard and confusing especially during bad weather to walk to where you need to go. There are essential businesses that are a core part of Bed Stuy on Tompkins and Lewis, and the new routes would negatively impact these businesses. The only part of the B15 draft I agree with is the proposed B55 to JFK on Linden Blvd. Hopefully adding this new bus connection would lead to increased B15 frequency since the route is shorter.

Comment: Please keep the B62 on Manhattan avenue. There are a lot of middle schoolers and elderly that take this bus in the mornings and evenings and crossing and waiting on mcguiness would be a hazard. Mcguiness is known to be an unsafe place for pedestrians. So much so that there are people fighting to make it into one lane so that traffic is reduced and becomes more bike friendly. Adding a bus route on there would not help this. Additionally with all the buildings going up on the waterfront residents need more frequent bus service closer to them. Including the b32 which has been gaining more riders this year! Please increase service on all buses in north greenpoint and keep their current routes! Thank you.

Comment: I strongly oppose the re-design of B52. That section of Gates Ave is too narrow for busses and the sidewalks too narrow for the additional pedestrian traffic. There is also no space for bus stops. The infrastructure already exists on Greene and should remain there. Additionally, that area of Gates is already well served by transit and Greene is not. If faster access to the C train is needed that can be accomplished using Greene Ave and turning down Washington Ave, which is larger and can accommodate busses. The additional traffic and noise on the proposed rerouting would be terrible for the neighborhood. Please consider the impact to the local communities in making this plan.

Comment: The MTA plans to move the B43 to Marcus Garvey and end existing service on Thompkins. This will significantly impact my ability to transport myself around Brooklyn. It will require me to walk further and put me at a significant disadvantage adding more time to my commute. This part of Bedstuy is heavily reliant on this route and the bus stops on Tompkins, I use it to get to the A train every morning. Instead of moving this route eliminate the DSNY route on this road because the bus and DSNY trucks often get stuck on this route and cannot pass each other. By eliminating the DSNY route or moving it to off peak hours the bus can continue to operate freely. Thousands of people are reliant on this bus route and moving it would result in a significant disadvantage to BedStuy residents. Do not move it!

Comment: I am older person who relies on the B52 and B38 for transportation. The proposed change to eliminate bus stops in Cliton Hill - Fort Greene will increase the number of blocks between which will impact my ability to use the bus. Due to the elimination of bus stops will be physically to walk longer distances to get to and from bus stops. The proposal to have the B52 travel on Fulton St from Washington Av will increase the congestion on the street - too often the B25 and B26 busses are delayed due to traffic congestion. Adding the B52 will only make matters worse inaddition to reducing service along Greene Ave. Adequate bus service is essential for older people with mobility challenges.

Comment: Please do not cancel the Saturday or the midday BM3 buses. Too many people from brookkyn rely on this service to get to work and doctors in the city. The elderly who do not take the train, rely mostly on express buses especially the BM3 for cancer treatment to and from the city.

Comment: Fully not a fan of this proposal for the b15 and b43 bus lines, especially the b43!! The b15 when I lived in Marcus Garvey was not reliable but I at least knew I had a fall back bus to rely on! And now that I?m living between throop and Tompkins and I see JUST HOW RELIABLE and useful and HEAVILY depended on this bus line is, it seems like an almost comical error to propose this bus line MOVE avenues. An insult! A demonstration of poor city planning. Someone who has never paid attention to the lines they wish the drastically alter and the communities and business that would suffer. How are folks between Nostrand and Tompkins supposed to go southbound through central BedStuy? Have you even consulted the BedStuy BID about this?!? It?s honestly the only useful connectors to the A/C train lines. Leave them as they are! Hire more bus drivers all. Rally for less budget for Eric Adams to send cops into the subways (which does more to slow down service than anything else) and have that money go towards, I don?t know, better conditions for the buses.

Comment: The 38 bus elimination of Dekalb Avenue & Ryerson and Grand Avenue & Lafayette Avenue should not be eliminated! There are several seniors with wheelchairs, walkers and canes who live in that vacinity of Ryerson Towers 309 Lafayette Avenue, 21 St. James and 333 Lafayette Avenue where it will be a hardship for them to walk up to Classon Avenue because there are police cars who park on the sidewalk and seniors with disabilities cannot get by, so they will have to walk in the street with no protection.

Comment: I live in Greenpoint north of Greenpoint Ave and west of McGuinness, a neighborhood in the midst of a massive expansion of housing on its waterfront but with few existing transit options. My concern is that the proposed bus redesign limits those options even further, and particularly with regard to areas where the dense housing is and will be located. By eliminating the B32, the only remaining transit stops for connecting to the L or 7 will be along the southern and eastern extremes of a neighborhood where the highest population density will be located near Kent and Commercial, its western and northern extremes. This will turn a max 10 minute walk to the center of the neighborhood into a max 20 minute walk along its most dangerous roadways. Removing this one option will lead to more ride-share traffic than there already is in this transit desert, while the only remaining transit options will be much further and on dangerous corridors, posing both accessibility and safety issues. We need more and not fewer options in this quickly growing area of north Brooklyn.

Comment: I live off of and rely on B43 bus service on Tompkins Ave in Brooklyn. Losing this service would make my commute significantly harder and separate me from local businesses in South Bed Stuy I frequent, and make it harder to access vital services like my health clinic. The presence of this bus line was a key factor in my choice to move to the area and losing it would do incredible harm to the residents and businesses of this neighborhood.

Comment: I do not find the proposed B43 south bound service to be effective. It completely removes transport on Tompkins Avenue a primary commercial corridor. Likewise I do not find commuting on Albany Avenue to be safe… not subway related, tori. general access as an alternative to being on foot or walking farther for other options. and supporting established commercial districts like Tompkins as well as the children's museum

Comment: Removing the same Bus Stops along the extreme West End of Coney Island for both the B36 and the B74 is an assault on our Senior and Disabled Community member's. They will be made to walk/travel blocks to the remaining Bus Stops. Our extreme West End has a particularly high concentration of Senior's and Disabled Residents. This is Economic, and Racial Discrimination, & Discrimination against the Disabled. Coney Island's West End is already underserved by the 2 Bus lines that serve it. It already takes far too long to travel to Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan and other parts of NYC and now you want to torcher the West End Residents with an even longer walk to the Bus Stops which will obviously result in a longer commute.

Comment: The MTA proposed cuts to service on the BM4 will adversely affect me and my commute from Gerritsen Beach into lower Manhattan. Service Cuts would drastically reduce my commuting options to get to work during the week. I routinely travel into Manhattan on a BM4 past the proposed 930AM cut off. In addition, numerous times I have seen BM4 routes been skipped, what will happen when the 930 bus never arrives (as i have experiened many BM4 buses never arrive) and now no service is planned into manhatatn. This system will affect the Gerritsen Beach community, a isolated community without many transit links. With the proposed congestion pricing, why should Gerritsen Beach Brooklyn commuters be further hurt with additional budget cuts to their MTA transit links. I oppose this plan regular BM 4 service into Manhattan is a must for commuters from Gerritsen Beach.

Brown Memorial Baptist Church is on the southwest corner of Gates and Washington Avenues. It has a huge congregation and with funerals, weddings, Sunday church services, etc., has this been taken into consideration in regards to the turning bus and the entering/exiting of the churchgoers?

Comment: I'm very concerned about the new proposal for the rerouting of the B52 bus from Greene Ave to just Gates Ave. First of all Gates ave between Fulton St and Franklin is narrower than Greene ave people will loose parking spaces and talk about grid lock trying to turn is bad enough it's going to be worse also I don't feel the current ridership was taken into consideration because this change is not an asset to us.

Comment: The initial draft strikes me as fair and generally in keeping with the current X27/X37 routes and schedules. I take this opportunity, though, to BEG the MTA to use common sense and EXTEND the Saturday night hours for the Brooklyn Express buses. Friday and Saturday nights are the evenings many Brooklyn theater/show attendees travel to/from Manhattan. Coming home on Friday night is not a problem as there are X27s that leave 57th Street at 11:20 p.m. and an hour and 10 minutes later at 12:30 a.m. This allows Friday theater-goers an opportunity to use the Express Bus to get home. With no logic at all, that is NOT the case for SATURDAY night theater-goers. The last X27 on Saturday night leaves 57th Street at 10:15, just in time to PASS BY the theater district before Brooklyn-bound theater-goers get out of those shows (most shows/theaters let out between 10:30 and 11:00 p.m.) MTA should add at least one more Brooklyn-bound X27 on Saturday night at, say, 10:45 or 11:00 p.m. (or better yet, simply DUPLICATE the Friday night X27 schedule!) I'm hoping that the current Saturday night schedule for the X27 does not simply reflect an MTA desire to avoid double- (triple-?) time pay for its handful of drivers that such a change would affect. Please schedule later buses back to Brooklyn on Saturday nights!

In particular the B43 is crucial for me and my neighbors and the planned change would cause major upheaval to our schedules and routines.

One evening PM Rush i was on the B35 and we were stuck in traffic for 8 minutes without moving. This is not a one time thing, it happens all the time. B35 bus operators can back me up. I find this unacceptable. Parking on Church Av is unnecessary and not needed. Use those lanes for the bus lanes. I feel like every rider could benefit from this because the traffic on Church Av slows everyone down and makes us late to where we need to go. Since the B55 SBS is going to Lefferts Blvd this is very needed for a quicker ride. I plan on using the B55 daily so please incorporate bus lanes. It would be very appreciated. Thanks MTA! We wouldn't be New York without you.

Comment: With the dramatically high increase in subway crime, these terrible express bus cuts and eliminations would be taking away options for riders, compromising commuter safety. Lack of bus options will force riders on to the extremely dangerous subway. Since the pandemic there are more NY?s taking the express bus to avoid the subway. This is also punishing the riders who actually pay their fares. Riders on the express pay, can?t say the same for trains and regular buses. This is singling out hard working people who are going to work. Not everyone works the same hours, there needs to be a safer option for riders to get to work and get home, eliminating midday and evening service and weekend service is unreasonable.

Comment: I am concerned that x27/x37 bus routes are going to experience cuts in service and proximity of stops, and it is a lifeline for this community. It is my main form of transportation commuting to and from Manhattan because I am in a 2 fare zone and the R train is not convenient, nor safe. My husband has been subjected to attack on public transportation with a knife within the year, so we minimize our time on local buses and the trains. Safety is a concern, and access to this community by public transportation is imperative especially since the neighborhood is already perceived as too far from the city, impacting real estate decisions for many who need to commute. I've lived in this community for almost 50 years so have experienced a lack of service over the years, and it greatly impacts the quality of life.

Comment: It would be detrimental to get rid of any of the X27, X37, X28 and X38 express buses. These buses are for people in areas that are not near subways. Most of the people who use these buses are working middle class New Yorkers who need to commute to the city. By cutting these buses, the MTA is leaving us literally stranded on an island. There is only one subway line in Bay Ridge and it is not reliable. Also for people who live along Shore Road it is a long walk and as a woman I would not feel safe walking the 20 minutes home from there a night especially since it is a fact that crime is up throughout the 5 boroughs. The MTA needs to rethink this design plan as it effects tax paying New Yorkers.

Many other neighbors use them to get to work or for grocery shopping. They are very clearly needed. Please do not remove them.

Comment: Your proposal for eliminating the x27/x37 and turning it into the BM37 doesn't seem to serve the neighborhood. Just be honest and say you don't think we are important. Just keep the x27/x37. It's working well for those who use them. You don't need to take the opportunity to make something worse including putting more cars on the road.

Comment: This proposed redesign is absurd and contains so many flaws. The biggest issues is the elimination of bus stops on shore road along the current X27/37 lines. I moved specifically into a building along Shore Road and Oliver St to have convenient and easy access to the bus stop. To take this away from people like myself is inconsiderate and completely nonsensical. We in Bay Ridge live at one of the furthest points from NYC and with NYC reopening for business, usage will only increase. If anything?s express bus service should be increased not decreased in this neighborhood considering transit options are highly limited to just the R train. But 100% service and stops should not be cut. This cannot be allow to proceed under any circumstances. DO NOT DO IT!!!!

Comment: Express bus service to Bay Ridge in Brooklyn is critical. The unreliable R train cannot be the only service provided to this area -- there are no other options when the N/R is not running. On top of that, residents pay significantly more for the Express bus.

Comment: 1435 Hi. I waited in two different parks in Brooklyn today. More than 30 minutes each time. For the 25 bus. Never came either place. Wasted over an hour of my time from work. If a bus isn?t coming there has to be a way to let people know this. We pay billions in taxes for this service and it?s worst in the world. Systems in Central America are more efficient 1438 Hello, we're sorry to hear that this happened. What time were you waiting for the bus and at which stops? ^AW 1439 I was at s Elliott and Fulton for a half hour ? I took another bus going a way longer way and then got out and tried to catch the 25 again at court and joralemon 1441 Thank you for the additional information. What time was this? ^AW 1442 I?m the past two hours. I started my journey from Halsey and Lewis at 1:15. I?m going to dumbo. And I?m no where near it. 1446 There is a detour on this bus route, but heading in the opposite direction which can cause buses to leave the terminal late. Just confirming, you were at the stop in front of Fresh Garden near Fowler Sq? ^AW 1446 Yes. Going to dumbo area 1447 We see that all bus trips were covered but were running about 10 minutes late in the last two hours. Did you see any buses skip the stop or was anything blocking it? ^AW 1541 I never in that time saw a 25 go by. Neither did the other people waiting Google maps showed 25 number buses moving along the route and then registering them arriving when they weren?t and the leaving when they weren?t. I was standing under the bus sign so I couldn?t have missed them 1554 Thank you for the additional information, we'll share this report with bus supervision on your behalf. We hope you have a better rest of your day. ^AW https://app.conversocial.com/queues/inbox/63bf0f8fa6f0c7d0cfbf5f8a

Comment: I am completely against the proposed idea to relocate the B43 from Tompkins Ave to Marcus Garvey. This bus line has been in service ever since Tompkins was a 2 way street with a trolley and the only improvement needed is to increase the amount of buses on this line. Senior citizens rely heavily on the Tompkins Ave bus as well as students and other community members. Relocating it two blocks away will be extremely inconvenient for those who take this bus daily.

Comment: Re: bus unreliability and driving - It appears to be a vicious cycle on Flatbush Avenue. For example, Chik Fil'A does a lot of business, but the delivery drivers and people waiting tp pick up their orders keep causing a bottleneck on southbound side of Flatbush Avenue. It contributes to delays on Flatbush Ave.  @Warren - Yes, down by Barclays. However, there are bottlenecks along much of the B41 route

Comment: Please do not cut the buses ftom the Southern Brooklyn. We, who heavily rely on the express buses since the subway is not close by, cannot afford to add even more time to our commute. With the congestion pricing we need to rely on the public transportation. If you take the options away, how can we do that? You are putting us in catch 22 situation. Thank you.

Comment: Good Morning; I am writing this e-mail because we are having problems with the afternoon X28 buses, especially the runs between 3 and 4pm ( at Greenwich Street ) The buses are way over crowded, especially lately because of the Dyker Heights Christmas Displays. Each night, people were standing up to 10 deep. Also in proportion, there are many more buses in the morning going into the city. In a 25 minute time span (6:20am to 6:45am) there is a 57th St X28, an X38, a 23rd St. X28 another X38 and the Worth Street X28 (which I take). You would figure out that all those people who work 8 hour days would be heading home at 3- 3:30pm. Between 3pm & 4pm there are only 3 buses, which when tracking them load up with passengers on the Broadway part of the trip below 14th street. There needs to be an adjustment and an extra bus leaving from Thomas street somewhere around 3pm to pick up some of the slack. It is also unhealthy with Covid and the flu going around with the buses packed like this. All the coughing and sneezing, people with or without masks. I caught covid in April, and the only crowded place I frequent is the bus ride home, wearing a mask I may add. Please see if anything can be done. It?s not right to pay $6.75 and be miserable.

Comment: I want to comment specifically on the shortening of the B61 route in Brooklyn, NY. This route is used by a number of students and families who attend one of the 3 schools located near the end of the route at 500 19th St, Brooklyn, NY 11215: K-280, a pre-K center; MS 442; and BUGS charter school serving 6-8 grades. Shortening this route would compel them to walk nearly a half a mile in either direction. In addition, this section of the B61 bus route is used by families and students who take the F or G subway train or the B68. Please reconsider this change so that students and their families can continue to use this bus route for their commute to school. In addition, for the families that live in the neighborhood, this is an important route to connect to other public transportation services. Please do not shorten the B61 route.

Comment: I live north of Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene, and other than the B69, which has limited service, and the B54, direct bus services to other neighborhoods are very limited without multiple transfers. For instance, no buses go directly to the Botanic Garden, Central Library and the Brooklyn Museum, and the closest stop is at Plaza Street on Vanderbilt on the B69. From there one must traverse Grand Army Plaza and that line ceases service in the evening in both directions and weekend service is spotty at best.

I suggest a direct route on Washington Avenue or an additional line that runs on Vanderbilt and turns east on Eastern Parkway and/or runs along Prospect Park West. Bus ridership would increase with better options. I teach at the Botanic Garden three times a year and the only efficient transportation is by car, since the alternative is a 15 minute walk to the Q train at DeKalb Station, and when I am carrying my teaching materials that is impracticable. For the elderly and disabled, these outings are impossible or unduly onerous. In general, connecting North to South and Central Brooklyn would improve quality of life and reduce car travel.

Comment: Changing the southern B68 off western Brighton Beach Ave does not make sense. Why punish seniors (like myself) who use it for both the Br Bch Ave and Coney Island Ave commercial streets. Climbing stairs to the subway is tough enough, let alone with bags of groceries. People coming from Brighton have no use for residential Ocean Ave over commercial Coney Island Ave. From my Kings Highway area I can take either the B68/B82 to Coney Island, but you want to take BOTH away? Leave the B68 as it is. There is no way for the B49 to make a left turn from Ave Z to Coney Island Ave at that congested corner, so how will that speed up service?

Comment: B68 Local Proposed change negatively impacts students of Kingsborough Community College and residents of Manhattan Beach ? forcing them to walk from the B/Q train station 3 blocks to pick up the bus or from the bus to the station for their commute. Other residents will also be negatively impacted if they want to get to Manhattan Beach to use the beach. The Newkirk Ave stop is rather busy ? the stop should not be removed.

Comment: For the past 10 years I have been taking this bus to work. Since Covid the service has been when ever the bus wants to show up. This bus services a lot of people going to work at night for both UPS and FEDEX. But sometimes the bus only runs once per hour. People at night need to commute to work also. There is no respect for those that stand for up to an hour at a time waiting for the bus. Something needs to be done. It used to run every 30 minutes. Please fix it. B24

Comment: customer is requesting that the B46 local bus stop at Utica ave, avenue H be placed in the same location as the SBS B46. She says that a lot of the times the B46 local bus picks up passengers at the SBS stop and not the local stop. She says it causes her to miss her bus connections.

Comment: The discontinue of the B2 is unacceptable, on any given day you can see B41 & B46 busses bunched up with little to no passengers. How about fixing the major routes and the B2 will continue to run as designed. A few years back the MTA did away with weekend service on the B2 and it was a failure. This will be the same result. Have you ever tried to get on the B100 when Madison HS and Marine Park JHS let out? No you haven't it's disgusting and impossible. Not only crowded but the verbal language is disgusting. If anything, have the B2 run during rush hours 0530-0930 & 1600-2000

Comment: I am very upset to hear about the proposed B52 changes. Greene Ave relies on the B52. Gates Ave is only one block up from Fulton, which has additional bus lines. With the B38 limited stops also being removed, it will cause many New Yorkers (including elderly New Yorkers living in the senior housing on Greene Ave) to walk further to get transportation. The Greene Ave stops are always busy during rush hour, with many children and elderly.

Comment: Instead of making the last stop at Cropsey Avenue and Canal Ave, We can reroute the BM8/C to Stillwell Av Terminal. This will accommodate customers living on Seagate's side where they can take the B36 or B74 to Stillwell Av Terminal and transfer to the BM8.  How would the BM8 head towards Stillwell Av Terminal?.. Simple, have the bus make a left turn from Cropsey Ave to Neptune Ave, and from  Neptune Ave make a right on West 12th and Right onto Surf Ave making it the last stop and start-stop by the Train terminal hub or making W 12 and Surf Ave the last stop and Start-stop. This would make sense to accommodate the customers that live towards Seagate's side on Surf to take the B36 or B74 to Stillwell Ave and transfer to the BM8. When the BM8 is leaving the Terminal, from Surf Ave make a right onto Stillwell Av, Left Neptune Ave, Right to Cropsey Ave, and regular.

Comment: By removing the Ocean Ave & Ave S stop, spacing is being significantly increased for residents of this area compared with both the current levels of service and the proposed levels of service for the surrounding stops, up through Ocean Ave & Ave J.

While I can understand (but disagree with) removing the B49 stop at Ave S and keeping Ave R for its connections to the B31 and to the B2, (which this plan proposes to eliminate), it is doubtful that many BM3 riders are transferring to the B31 since they would be taking the BM4 bus instead.

South Brooklyn is already underserved, and the BM3 provides a vital link to employment and cultural activities in Manhattan for elderly and other people who cannot safely navigate the subway system. Please do not remove the Ocean Ave & Ave S stop.

Comment: I've been living in Brooklyn Bed-Stuy for many years. The Fulton Street B25 is on my street. I use this bus at least 4 times during the week. With some many apartment buildings being occupied by new residents which are welcomed. The 15/25/26/43/44/46 bus line are our way of getting to and from our hospitals, doctor's appointments, grocery stores, shopping areas. Going underground as a senior citizen is not heathy or safe for us. Changing some route on the B25 when the MTA designed a no parking zone between some hours during the afternoon & evening that supposed to help moving the buses quickly. I don't see the change in traffic or buses moving quickly. The B25/26 are most of the time crowded. I believe MTA needs to reassess the ridership on these bus lines. Thanks for viewing my comments.

I sm a senior with walking problems & if I want to go to the city I must walk to catch a bus. U really do not consider the seniors when u want to make changes. We are just left out of the equation. We seniors contribute a lot to the transportation system & now they are forgotten.

When the bus stop is at the beginning of a block the bus has to stop at the red light wait then when it turns green that have to proceed to stop again in this case the wait at the red light is not properly used.

Comment: There are residents who are elderly and handicapped are thus unable to move easily to other bus stops without any physical aids such as walkers, canes, invalid scooters and powerchairs. The elimination of many bus stops would lead to people settling for other modes of transportation, thus ignoring mass transportation altogether. This problem can cause low ridership of public transportation to continue at an all-time high, since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

Comment: The elimination of bus stops along neighborhood routes is a disservice to MTA riders. In particular, the disabled, families with young children, school children, strollers, the elderly, shoppers with carts all rely on frequent stops to ensure safe mobility throughout their neighborhoods especially given that the majority of subway stops are inaccessible. If the MTA is concerned about the timing of buses it should consider working with the NYPD to enforce parking violations and keep vehicles from double parking along streets forcing buses into slowed and unsafe driving conditions. With ridership down, the MTA should be looking to increase its services to encourage use and get additional vehicles off the road rather than punishing long time users by eliminating their vital stops.

Comment: I urge you to reconsider the removal of the B2 bus line. Marine Park is a transit desert when compared to the rest of the borough. Without a train or an express bus line, removing any existing lines would only exacerbate the transit issues in this neighborhood. The infrequent B100 alone cannot handle the amount of riders, especially during the school season when buses are filled with High School students during the morning and afternoon rush hours. I fully understand and appreciate the need for the MTA to try to save money, however removing this line would only work to incentivize more people to own cars to compensate for fewer transit options.

Comment: Taking away the B2 bus line in Marine Park will be a disaster. The B100 will not be able to accomodate the overflow of riders. No bus line to go directly to Kings Plaza...transferring to the B41 at Flatbush and Fillmore will be a horror. The MTA really needs to think long and hard at this proposed idea. As a Marine Park homeowner, this disastrous idea will only lead to mayhem along both Avenues R and Fillmore. Just another terrible idea coming from those who think they know what is best for our city and community. Really...the MTA can do better.

Comment: As someone who relies on public transportation but suffered injuries , I was reluctant to return to riding public transportation due to the lack of seats and long wait times. Speaking with members of the community, it is clear that more of us will stop riding buses and trains because proposed changes would have us walk farther or wait longer. Instead, we will seek out other means, including rideshares, to guarantee that disabilities will not be forgone as these changes take place. To impose hardships on the elderly, families with children or those with special needs is wrong on many levels, and is violating the American Disabilities Act for those exiting the subway and seeking transfer to a bus system. Please reconsider.

Comment: Please do not change the route for the b43 from Tompkins Avenue to Marcus Garvey. The b43 is a high volume route as it is, suffers from chronic overcrowding, and needs either larger buses or a more frequent schedule, not a route change. Many people depend on it to connect to the A,C,G,J, and M trains, particularly the elderly and disabled. It is also integral to driving business and foot traffic on Tompkins Avenue, which has been getting busier every year. Moving the bus route would continue to encourage a car culture in Bed Stuy, and we already have issues with double parking/not enough parking spots for local residents. A route change would only exacerbate these problems.

Comment: What is happening with the B2 line in Marine Park Brooklyn. I couldn?t find it at all in the new plans. The B2 is a vital line in our community. It helps a lot of our Seniors and residents who don?t have access to a car. The B100 may seemed like a good alternative but it?s over crowed during rush hour and school time. It doesn?t take you the Kings plaza mall either. I have little children and the B2 is our primary way to get to the train station in Kings Highway and even the mall during the winter when walking is difficult for the little ones. Please reconsider not making any changes to this line.

Comment: Re: cuts proposed to B103 and BM 3,4 express service cuts. These lines currently service the Ocean Parkway area and are very important for travel to downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, especially to older adults who can?t take the subway for various reasons. These cuts are cruel and discriminatory and must not be implemented!! It will leave this area with no convenient transportation to downtown Bklyn, the courts, or medical and other appointments in Manhattan and Brooklyn Hts. If implemented they will make Kensington a less desirable neighborhood to live in and possibly affect real estate values in a negative way. Why not put smaller buses on express routes when less people ride, as done in other well managed cities? That'll give savings while still servicing our citizens who depend on these routes. And, vreat a new route, B103A, to go from Ditmas Park to Bklyn Hts along the B103 route. If these lines are cut people using them will not go on the subway; they will either take Uber or Lyft or move out of NY. So I hope you will think through the folly of this plan.

Comment: Please do not move the Greenpoint B62 route to McGuinness. McGuinness ave is unsafe and many pedestrians have been hit by cars. Also, it?s not a lit up street with a lot of businesses. I would feel unsafe as a female taking the bus at night if it dropped me off on McGuinness. I feel much safer being dropped off/waiting for the bus on Manhattan Ave where there are many businesses and pedestrians. It?s no so secluded, so it feels a lot safer. I?ve waited upwards of 20 minutes for the B62, and I would never ever wait that long for a bus on McGuinness Ave. Also, unless you?re going to Taco Bell or a gas station, there?s not much need to visit McGuinness. Most businesses are on Manhattan Ave. Thank you for listening!

Comment: Keep the B43 on Tompkins from Bedstuy to Crown Heights. NYC is known for having the ?best and most accessible? public transportation in America. Bedstuy already lacks many nearby subway stations and many of my friends have to walk about 10- 15 mins to the closest stop. Buses have been very essential in getting people to where they need to within Brooklyn or getting people quicker to subway stops (not mention many people do not have the accessibility to walk and need to take the bus. To keep NYC accessible, you need to keep the B43 line.

Comment: Please dont cut short the B61 in Park Slope. Changing the B61 as proposed would be negatively impact hundreds of families whose child attend school at the old Bishop Ford site, as well as other schools near the cemetery (preK, 3k, and at least 3 middle schools along the route). Right now, that line goes directly by the schools. Without it, kids will have an increased commute time, with more time walking alone down the streets, especially in early morning or evenings.

Comment: Regarding B63, I would be very happy if you eliminated the southbound stop between 30th and 31st Street and relocated it to an adjacent block. In the last several months, a couple of people have taken to parking in the bus stop, and neither NYPD or MTA has done anything about it. The effect is that the bus stop has effectively been moved to behind my house, and now I have a lot of trash to pick up because of the passengers who are boarding or discharging at my driveway.

Comment: Today Friday, 12/16/22 I was waiting for the b15 bus by linden move theater between Drew street and Loring street. The time was 8:35 am. I utilized the mta app to track the bus which stated that the bus would be arriving in 5 minutes from the aforementioned time. I waited beyond the 5 minute time frame as the bus driver was parked at the stop for 10 minutes with hazard lights on while he ran in the store across the street. I waited and waited in front of the bus for it to leave until he finally started the bus, which stated not in service. The bus driver then began to pull off not allowing me to get on the bus or anything, and as soon as he pulled off he changed the bus sign to not in service to the b15 route information. The fact that he did not pick me up and poised as being out of service and switch is just not great service. I witnessed this same bus driver which the bus # is 8411 do this on another occasion. He was waiting at the bus stop for a very long time beyond the bus scheduled time. Then he was going to pull off although it was me and a elder lady waiting in the rain and cold for a while. He finally stopped the bus and signaled for us to come onto the bus after he already pulled off. Mind you the bus still reflected not in service. when he picked us up, he stated he was going to drive off because he was late and was going to skip stops, but he "...saw us there and decided to pick us up." This bus (on both occasions) was going to Woodhull hospital. My question is what the hell is going on with this bus driver and the b15 route. It is just trifling behavior and on several occasions myself and other passengers would wait for 15-25 minutes even more for buses that just sit by the movie theater and do whatever it is they are doing. Then when they pull off they poise as "not in service" or just ride by. This is crazy. I am sick of it!. Fix this line and please add more b15 bus on this route especially going to spring creek and JFK on the rush hour schedule.

Comment: This is in regards to the x37 stop at 88th street and Shore Road. I?ve been taking this bus to work 3-4 times per week for the past 10 years. I can tell you first hand that this is a very busy stop. There are multiple apartment buildings surrounding this bus stop which makes it a very busy stop. Eliminating this stop will also cause a long distance between 92nd and 83rd street stops. If you need to eliminate a stop then get rid of 83rd and Shore Road. It?s on the corner of Fort Hamilton HS surrounded by single occupancy residences and rarely has people getting on the bus there. Please consider this request seriously as it will negatively effect many people?s commute.

Comment: I would like to submit that shortening the B48 to end at Wallabout is very unhelpful.

Additionally, south williamsburg is a very heavy traffic area, so transferring buses would be extremely unreliable.

Comment: As a resident of Coney Island, I strongly disagree and request reconsideration of proposed the space between stops on the B36 and B74 bus routes. These buses are mostly ridden by elderly adults, senior citizens, and children in junior high school. For the elderly, the lessening of bus stops will cause fatigue and increase the risk of falling on sidewalks and in the street. For children, traveling to and from school, early in the morning and late in the evening, is a great safety concern.

Comment: I am writing to urge the MTA against ending service of the B43 bus to the JFK airtrain, as proposed in its redesign. In its current form, the B43 is one of the most functional and efficient ways to get from Brooklyn to the borough's nearest airport. Many airport workers rely on the B43 to commute from working-class areas of Bed-Stuy, Weeksville, and East New York to the airport. For those who live near the A/C trains, the B43 allows them to avoid the $8 airtrain surcharge (the MTA forcing working people to pay an additional $16/day?over 1/8 of the day's wage, pre tax, at the current minimum wage?for their commutes is unconscionable). And those living in subway deserts have no viable alternative for reaching the airport. The "replacement service," which requires commuters to transfer to a second bus to complete their journey, is insulting, especially since the B43 already runs as infrequently as twice per hour. Should hardworking people now have to spend up to two hours per day waiting for a series of busses to take them to and from work? Please reconsider cutting this beloved and effective stretch of bus service!

Comment: I'm writing regarding the redesign of the route for the B52 so it would continue on Gates Avenue west of Classon/Franklin instead of running on Greene Avenue as it currently does. I'm opposed to this redesign because the residents of Greene Avenue would lose their proximity to the bus, forcing them to walk two long blocksif they are heading toward Downtown Brooklyn or use the B25 going up Lafayette. Both of those routes are already crowded. There is already bus service on Fulton and Putnam Avenues. The residents on that side of Clinton Hill/Bed Stuy already have a variety of choices to use. The bustops on Greene Avenue and Grand are mostly in front of businesses, which is less destructive to having the stops right in front of someone's residence. Thank you for your consideration.

Comment: Living in this neighborhood, where travel is difficult due to the fact that we can?t just walk to a train, taking away any of our bus lines, makes it a hardship. In my case, as a disabled person, taking away a bus is devastating if for no other reason, then you put pressure on the remaining line to be 100 which will become overflowing with people, this neighborhood needs its buses to get to the trains we can?t do without them

Manhattan bound stop. You cannot make these bus cuts and bus changes! This is one of the only rapid routes to Manhattan! Cortelyou Rd is a major neighborhood hub for families and small businesses and medical offices. You want to KEEP the bus stop there! It?s there for PEOPLE not to make their commutes more difficult! There is no good reason for you to cut this bus line!!!! We live here and the Q train is the ONLY train in this vicinity (east of Coney Isl Ave) which has many inconvenient service changes! You?re making it even more inconvenient for us! Stop! You?re not on the ground living here and you clearly do not know!!

Comment: I'm writing to ask that the route proposal to end the B61 line at 15th and PPW rather than going all the way to Greenwood Cemetery be reconsidered. There are currently 4 schools located at the end of this current route, including a pre-k and 3-K, so parents depend on this bus route to take their kids to school. If these stops are removed from the route I can see parents having no choice but to turn to car rides which will further increase traffic and pollution in an already highly congested area given the truck route exit, the 20th street redesign and the expansion of schools at Bishop Ford. This area is far from the train so buses are a lifeline to parents and the elderly. It's the Ikea bus route that allows people to transport their goods back to their homes. We should be encouraging people to leave their cars and take buses instead not making it more difficult for people to take buses.

Comment: It seems to me that with this redesign by removing the B38 bus stop at dekalb and Ryerson you are making it extremely difficult for a community of elderly voters to easy access to transportation - what happens during inclement weather?! It boggles the mind that you will force them to walk about 2 blocks to a bust stop. I?ve lived in this area for 50 years and I can honestly say thta having all these buses and people at the closest stop for the b38 at classon and lafayette will lead up to heavier traffic at a busy intersection and over crowding. Same concern practically applies to the idea to remove the bus stop at lafayette and Grand.

Comment: Remember these routes are running on old street car routes today's buses are too big for today's streets. Fulton mall needs to go back to the old 4 lanes to allow the buses to pass in case of emergencies or back up. Taking streets and making some to parks are also an delay like B26 and B38 and gates and fulton.. city is trying to play catch up to the Robert Moses taking away money and neglecting transit by building things for cars and trucks.

Comment: Taking away Ralph and Bushwick is not going to increase time. Getting civilian government vehicles from parking in the bus areas would increase traffic. Traffic cops enforcing double parking. Too many elderly and disabled people rely on Bushwick and Ralph ave stops. Broadway is always crowded from the transfer from Q24,J train ,B47 and people who live in the neighborhood . Also we have 3 to 4 new buildings that have went up and 3 news ones in the next 6 months. Bus late nights not showing up on time. People who work late nights and overnights need to have buses running on time so they won't get laid off.

Comment: I am against the plan the redesign the B100 and retire the B2. The B100 is already extremely crowded at rush hour. Especially in the morning when kids are going to school. I have had many buses pass because they are packed. I also take the B2 to kings plaza. It will be a hardship for the elderly to have to walk to Flatbush Ave to get a bus to Kings Plaza if they live many blocks away as I do. Moving the B100 to Quentin Road will be a hardship for people who live on Aves S, T, and. u to get to the train station. We need the B2 to continue running from Kings Plaza to the train station.

Comment: Good afternoon, I don't understand how almost everyday the B43 has a 25-30min time gap in departures. And then 2 buses come back to back. This happens when I'm going home in the afternoon as well in the opposite directions. They have to do a better job at the departure stations in sending out the buses. Thank you in advance.

Comment: I am a resident of Marine Park and removing the B2 and changing the 100 would be DISASTROUS for our community. We are already a 2 fair zone and many residents have a long commute by bus to the train station. Removing and changing bus routes will only make commuting harder. School children rely on those buses to get to school on time each morning. Removing them adds to their burden and makes their days longer. Taking away service is NEVER beneficial even though city officials claim it?s for the better. Marine Park residents never get much, never ask for much either. Leave the buses the way they are!

Comment: The B2 bus route is a vital form of transportation to many in the community. The B100 is not an adequate replacement for the route that both busses service. Many of the staff and students at the local schools rely on this bus route and would be unduly impacted by the elimination of this bus route. Please do not eliminate this vital form of transportation.

Even post-pandemic, there is always a LINE of people waiting for the bus at this location during rush hour. Alternatively, the stop on 3rd Ave and 65th st hardly ever has any people waiting for the bus (2 people at most) and it seems that stop is remaining. I will be also bringing this to my councilman's office as a complaint. There are many people who rely on the convenience of this location at Senator St.

Comment: I oppose the proposed change to the B46 bus line--I take this bus between my home in Bedford-Stuyvesant (Bainbridge/Decatur stops) back/forth to the Williamsburg Bridge Plaza terminus stop multiple times every week. If this goes through, my commute would increase and also be more indirect and cumbersome as I'd need to take the A to the L, then walk for 20 minutes from Bedford to my destination. Or I'd have to take the A into Manhattan to take the J back into Brooklyn to Marcy.

Many other families who live in N Williamsburg send their children to PS 34 and PS 31, both of which are located on Norman Ave. We often ride the B62 because the current route is the only direct way to get from Bedford Ave to Norman Ave. The proposed route skips Norman Ave. It's a long distance to walk in inclement weather with small children so taking the B62 to Norman Ave. ensures they get to school safely and on time.

Comment: The proposed network redesign will have a substantial and deleterious impact on bus service in Greenpoint, with the effective elimination of the current B32 line and a significant change to service on the B62 line. These changes substantially reduces bus access and connections to residents west of McGuinness and North of Greenpoint Ave. In addition, the change in these lines removes easy access to Vernon Blvd 7 from residents serviced from the extant B32 and B62 lines. The B32 replacement (B53) now runs down Greenpoint Ave, and connects with the 7 substantially further east, increasing commuting times. The proposed B62 line removes stops and moves the route further east, increasing walking time for residents on West/Franklin/Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint. If the suggested B62 changes are desired, I suggest retaining the existing B32 local, with expanded service to compensate for the loss of the B62 service in Northern Greenpoint.

Comment: When the hell is the MTA and the 60th Precinct going to do something about all of the double parking along the B1 from Brighton 14th Street to Ocean Parkway on Brighton Beach Avenue? As a disabled senior who uses a walker, the inability of the buses to pull up to the curb make it extremely dangerous and difficult to get off and/or on the sidewalk and that?s on top of bus drivers who get annoyed when you say you need the ramp or just pass you by. These double parker?s need to start getting fined. It?s just ridiculous that I have to go through this all the time. I use the B1 quite frequently when I?m going somewhere along the route instead of dealing with Stress a Ride to go 4 or 6 blocks. The MTA just doesn?t care because they are aware of the problems on Brighton Beach Avenue and do nothing to try to fix this situation.

Comment: he plan for the B36 is to remove many stops to increase distance and supposedly improve traffic flow. According to the plan the average distance between stops now is 713 feet and the proposed changes brings it to 1,031 feet. That is almost a 50% increase. The B36 goes through several areas that have many senior residents (of which I am one). Any bus stop removal will cause hardship for those who have trouble walking - and may cause them to use alternative transportation, causing the MTA to lose revenue. For example. the stop at Ave Z and E19 is scheduled to be removed. That is right near a busy market - many people use the bus to get to shopping. It is a heavily used bus stop and it would be a mistake to remove it. Another example is, I believe, the removal of the East bound stop at Nostrand and Neck Road before the bus turns to the terminus. That stop allows people to get off and continue walking without having to cross busy Nostrand Avenue. It is another busy stop and would be a mistake to remove it.

Comment: B49 Local Leave the Southern end of the bus route as is. There is no need to have the 49 go through crowded Brighton Beach Ave ? there is plenty of other mass transit options and other ways to get to Stillwell Avenue Many students to Kingsborough Community College use the B/Q trains to Sheepshead Bay. They then take the B49 to the school. The proposed change will eliminate that option, stranding the students. The proposed change will also negatively impact local residents in Manhattan Beach who take the B49 to the B/Q train station for their commute Other residents will also be negatively impacted if they want to get to Manhattan Beach to use the beach.

WHY did the MTA make this hasty decision. A community already facing challenges with limited transportation provisions due to financial resources being stretched and with the added burden of seeking out private services such as Uber and Lyft to safely and effectively get to one of the worlds busiest airports is a slap in the wallet and face. SHAME.

Comment: I am aware that there will be some redesigning of bedstuy bus routes. The B43 is a line I use heavily as it connects me directly to williamsburg and greenpoint when cycling isnt an option. There is a stop on tompkins right outside of my door (putnam and tompkins stop) which is amazing for late night commutes home. I feel safe and comfortable catching the B43 on throop, and getting home on tompkins ave. The thing that needs improvement is the drivers making it at scheduled times. It's a popular line and it gets delayed far too often for the amount of people that use them. There also arent enough bus shelters and seats along the b43 line in bedstuy, and older + disabled folks could really use some. All is to say, I would love it if the b43 can remain on tompkins ave.

Comment: I am commenting about the proposed changes to the B2, B100 and BM4. The proposed changes are a disgrace and are aimed at cutting off our neighborhood of Marine Park from access to work, basic necessities, hospitals and schools. Elimination of the B2 would lead to inability to get to either the train or shopping without a lengthy walk to the B100, which is being redesigned with less stops. B100 is already super crowded, and does not stop along avenue R or Quentin. So for someone who lives on Quentin, we would have walks to Fillmore and mid 30s to try to catch a super crowded bus that runs on occasion. This is shameful. The BM4 is the only bus that stops in Marine Park, and we use it to get to work because the trains are a criminal-ridden nightmare. We work on the West side of Downtown Manhattan. How is the re-routing and elimination of BM4 along the West side helping us? The only express buses running to the West side will originate from Bay Ridge. How are we supposed to get there? In addition, the limiting of the BM4 to 7.30 to 9 and 4.30 to 6 is unconscionable. Who can get to work during those limited hours? The redesign proposal for B2, B100 and BM4 is a shameful disgrace, designed to impact people who still work in this city. SHAME ON YOU.

Comment: I am a Crown Heights resident, who patronizes Bedford-Stuyvesant & Williamsburg for worship, stellar food, family and friends. DO NOT ELIMINATE THE CRITICAL NORTH-SOUTH BOUND B43 & B15 (to the airport!). These two lines are the only fluid cross Brooklyn lines without needing major transfers. Not to mention that they also connect integral parts of Brooklyn for black and brown residents, particularly SENIORS. It is already awful that at on several of the A train lines, you have done away with live bodies in cases of emergencies, but these lines are vital to crossing through Brooklyn.

Instead of taking stops or parts of routes away, why not add more frequent bus service and new routes? If budget cuts are making these bus cuts necessary, it would be better to say so rather than presenting this as "improvements."

Comment: Hey there! I'll admit I'm biased, but I was just wondering if the B103 needs to get sliced off like that. I agree with getting it out of Downtown Brooklyn, which is a huge traffic jammed mess, but isn't there any way it could still connect to the F/G? It doesn't even need to come all the way back to Park Slope--if it just reached Church Av, it would be possible for people to transfer and go cross-town or into Manhattan.

Why aren?t there any buses on Albany ave or Schenectady ave? I needed to go from the kingston ave (3) train station to a place at Albany ave and empire blvd on Friday afternoon and there?s no way to get there other than walking. And with the rain it was frustrating. So I?m just inquiring here because the MTA is redesigning bus routes so why not add one here. Thank you for your consideration

Comment: I have heard recently about a new bus map project from the MTA, and the plan eliminates the B2, which goes to the Kings Highway Station. Eliminating the B2 means the B100 bus would get more crowded and service would be even slower. The B2 should not be eliminated.

Comment: Please reroute the B11 from 50th st bet4th and 5th ave. Our narrow block is already busy with the fire department and ambulances. It is a historical block of brownstone homes that is full of loud honking from impatient bus drivers that make it hard for a homeowner to get a parking spot. Also, buses have used our metered parking over the summer making parking by our home even harder. Please, please, please reroute the B11.

Comment: I believe moving the b43 from Tompkins Ave is a bad idea. There are many many school children, working folks and elders in the community that rely on that bus route and it?s move Marcus Garvey will negatively impact their commute. As a parent of teens that rely on the 43, the move would also increase safety concerns for us as they would now have to walk further and much of that time after sunset. Please reconsider rerouting the B43.

Comment: the X27 redsign would be a nightmare for all the workers on the evening shifts who work in Midtown. I also use that bus extensively when returning from Manhattan during evenings. My elderly mother also lives in Manhattan and uses this bus exclusively to visit her granddaughter - she does not feel safe using the subway, This redesign would be a hardship for us and many other residents of lower Bay Ridge which would be underserviced if this went through.

Comment: The proposed redesign of the B103 is terrible. As it is, it is perhaps the best line in Brooklyn, because of how many neighborhoods it reaches. Unlike most other lines that are shorter and more discrete, this line winds itself through countless Brooklyn neighborhoods, servicing more areas than does any other bus or subway line. As a result, to get many places in Brooklyn, it's often just necessary to find access to the B103, because this bus will get you there. And in place of this one very long and versatile line, you're essentially parceling the neighborhood up into routes covered by shorter bus routes. Consequently, in place of the one line that could take you from downtown Brooklyn to dozens of neighborhoods, you're ensuring that the commute of many people will now include at least one additional transfer. I know I'm not alone in loving this line, but as a personal example, I'll often go out of my way to catch the B103 because it's great length and circuitous path means that it's often going to where I need to go. It's a wonderful line, and there aren't any others in Brooklyn that compare.

Comment: As a lifelong resident Brooklyn, NY, I am highly disappointed in the MTA. Your agency is working hard to take away and dismantle services heavily utilized by the Brooklyn community. The efforts you are carrying out to displace thousands of impacted residents with your suggested changes to the B26 and B15 is unconscionable and it is my hope that you rethink this action. Additionally, MTA is looking to raise the prices on New Yorkers at a time when many are subject to job displacements, during this downturn in the economy. There is clearly no consideration for the well being and mobility of the community with these measures.

Comment: Please keep the B43 on Tompkins and Throop! The B43 on Tompkins and Throop allows me and my neighbors to efficiently get where I need to go and return home safely. As someone in Bed Stuy, it is a crucial link between my neighborhood and Crown Heights and Williamsburg. With the proposed redesign, I would have to walk too far to get to the bus, which would prohibit me from taking necessary evening and nighttime trips. Thank you!

Comment: Please do not have the b61 stop at Bartel Pritchard. There are so many schools from 3K through middle school at the end of the current bus stop which hundreds if not thousands of children utilize right now to get to school every day. The new proposal would mean a good 10-15 minute walk to school and with the current state of angry drivers, there is an increased chance of pedestrian accident which can happen now that you have parents with strollers, elementary and middle schoolers all jostling each other to get to school at once. The real problem stems from too many cars. Why would you take away a public transportation lifeline? If we are to truly tackle traffic issues, it is not with MTA busses! Please think through seriously before you take away a simple but crucial component to the working class neighborhood. No one ever complains about wanting less bus stops. Its always about the excess car issue, look into that!!!!

Comment: Please keep the B43 on Tompkins and the B15 on Lewis.

We do not need the "improvement" you are proposing because it will do more harm than good. Thank you.

Comment: Hello. I'd like to know of there are any plans to improve the schedule for the B17 to E. 80th street. Not only does this section not run on Saturdays and Sundays, it also does not run from approximately 10am - 2pm on weekdays. Is there a reason why the B17 schedule is set this way? Since this bus provides direct connection to the L train at Rockaway Parkway, it creates a challenge to not have this option on weekends. My children take the B17. On days when my teen has a half day of school or her older sister has a shortened work day, they have to take an alternate route home on weekdays because the B17 to E 80th street doesn't run for approximately 4 hours a day. The B17 lets them off across the street from home, making their travel much safer. Have there been any discussions about this section of the B17? I think that it would be extremely helpful to Canarsie residents if improvements to the current B17 schedule/service model can be made. Any attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Jenica Holder

Comment: B38 Planning on removing Lafayette and Grand/ Dekalb and Rayerson Ave Stop. There are 3 buildings here with 300 families each, mostly seniors. Would have to walk ( with walkers and wheelchairs) to Classon Ave to the next stop to catch the bus. There is a local police station, where police cars are parked to where the back of the cars are on the side walk and people with wheelchairs would have to go out of their way to cross safely, not a lot of room on the side walk for walkers and wheelchairs. There is no congestion here at the stops (being removed), but at the Classon Ave stop, there is more congestion with pedestrians and vehicle.

Comment: I am opposed to the discontinuation of the B2 bus line. It would greatly impact the community of Marine Park. This bus is a line for those residents who live above Fillmore Avenue. It services many schools such: Fillmore Academy, Marine Park Junior High, James Madison HS and St Edmunds prep. The B100 is overcrowded now and this will create more issues. We are a nice community of hard working New Yorkers. Just leave us alone.

Comment: As a resident of Marine Park I am very concerned over the proposed changes. I live on E 37th near Ave P and currently get the bus at E 36 and Ave R. If you take away the B2 I now would need to walk to Fillmore Ave. it also appears you would be doing away with the E 37th and Fillmore stops on the B100 which means I would not only have to walk to Fillmore Ave but then to either Ryder St or E 34th Street. This would be a big inconvenience and add a lot of walking to my commute.

I also frequently use the B61 either at 11th St and 8th Ave or 9th St and 7th Ave. I need this bus to take me back and forth to the kid?s school at BASIS near Columbia and Lorraine. My kids take the B61 to and from school as well.

Comment: Regarding the redesigned bus route for the B61 The current route goes through Windsor Terrace down Prospect Park West and over the Prospect Expressway. Currently the bus is used heavily by children, parents and teachers to go to the Bishop Ford Building on 19th street which houses the Pre-K Center, MS442 and BUGS. To end the bus route at 15th street at the park circle would add a long walk onto their commutes. Thank you for considering this in your decision making process.

Comment: Three days this week no 0638 B2 bus, I guess the MTA has already started to eliminate the B2 with the Brooklyn redesign. Seems to me that you have a dispatch problem not a bus problem. The B2 must stay in service especially during the school year. The B100 is already too crowded and the B3 does not go to kings highway which is an express station

Comment: The B2 is a great supplement to the B100 that goes to the kings highway station. A few years ago the MTA eliminated the B2 on weekends and it was a failure. In my opinion you can reduce some B100 and increase B2 service or only have the B2 run from 0600-1000 & 1600-2000

The MTA is doing a fine job of making the B2 a bad experience before you try to eliminate it with the Brooklyn redesign bus route.

Comment: Please keep the B61 extended to 20th Street/Greenwood Cemetery, instead of ending at 15th Street. This portion of the line is much used to serve the hundreds of school children at K280, MS442 and BUGS. My mother (now 80) would often take this bus line to escort my son when he was attending Pre-K. I expect there are many other caregivers and 3 and 4 year old children who cannot easily walk the distance from the proposed terminus at 15th Street to 20th Street.

Comment: Please do not reduce the length of the B61 bus route. The stop at Greenwood Cemetery is a lifeline in the snow, rain and cold for over 1000 children attending school in the Bishop Ford Complex. At a minimum, you must maintain it Monday through Friday or you will be creating an extreme hardship and dangerous situation for kids as young as 4 and middle school children traveling every day using that bus. Please. This is a big mistake and should not be taken.

Comment: It would be absolutely incredible if the B81 would go from Red Hook to Midwood through Park Slope. There are thousands of kids who go to Midwood High School and Brooklyn College along the F/G corridor, and instead of a bus and train, they could take one bus all the way there. That would be a game changer. Thank you for this change. If there were a way to extend a route to get kids to Murrow and Madison without having to take 2 buses and a train, that would also be incredible. I don't see that possibility in any of the plans but I hope it will be considered in the future. These three high schools encompass over 10,000 students in total and having safe, direct ways for kids and teachers to get there from throughout Brooklyn would be ideal.

Comment: I am concerned about the elimination of limited service on the B38 route. The B38 line is already overcrowded and has long waits. It is how I take my son to school and a 2 mile ride can often take more than 45 minutes on the local. Eliminating the limited service will make our commute more difficult.

Comment: The move to end the B103 bus route will create harm for my family and others in outer Brooklyn who depend on this very efficient and fast route to reach work and schools in downtown Brooklyn. You now will force people to get off at Flatbush Junction - and take subways - crowding trains and doing no favors for elderly/disabled passengers. You will replace the bus on the old leg with one that runs from Flatbush/Ditmas to Red Hook - serving a very limited number of passengers and forcing those in the Flatbush neighborhood to change buses/trains again to reach downtown. The statement that your new routes will make travel more efficient is an absolute misrepresentation based on what you are doing to the 103.By eliminating a perfectly functioning route, you have failed working families in outer and middle Brooklyn.

Comment: Please do not remove weekend service on the express bus x27. Please do not discontinue service up to 23rd street. This leaves no way to go between Thomas Street to 23rd street. I take the express bus x27 all the time both on weekdays and weekends, and with cuts in service, it makes commuting into Manhattan much more difficult because getting to a subway is not easy from Shore road.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Retain existing routing
Comment: I think retiring the B2 is a mistake because the B100, which is meant to replace it, is already severely crowded during rush hours. The bus drivers on the B100 line routinely allow students to board without paying so the line's usage is probably undercounted. Current buses often skip stops later in the route because of crowding. This cancellation with further encourage many in the neighborhood to use cars, mopeds and scooters instead, adding to weekday rush hour congestion along Fillmore Ave and Quentin Rd. The neighborhood served by the B2 is already a bit of a transit desert given the lack of a subway line. The vacuum left by canceling the B2 may likely be filled by dollar vans like those that run down Flatbush Avenue. That those exist speak to the poor quality of the bus network and the lack of accountability when it comes to following posted schedules.

Comment: Please do not cut the x27 service from bay ridge out to 23rd street. I use this for my daily commute. The weekend service is also essential! Reducing hours and frequency is going to end up with over crowded buses!

Comment: PLEASE announce all stops on all buses. As a visually challenged person, it is VERY hard for me to see the exterior of the buses, so it is very hard for me to determine where to get off. Frequently the bus drivers refuse to help. Since the buses often do not stop at every stop, it is hard to keep track of the distance. An easy cure is stop announcements similar to the ones they have in subway cars.

Comment: The B2 is important to the people that need to get to the Kings Highway station (B and Q trains). The B100 rarely stops to pick up passengers at the Fillmore Ave and E 37th Street stop because the buses are already filled with students for the Marine Park Junior High School and James Madison High schools. This change will, also, be a hardship for the older people. They would have to walk additional blocks to get the B100.

Comment: I have just read the redesign of the B100 bus route and retirement of the B2. It appears that the redesign has been drafted by individuals who are unfamiliar with the route and neighborhoods these buses serve. The B2 has a direct route to Kings Plaza. To transfer from the B100 to connecting buses to KP will lead to crowding already overcrowded routes. In my opinion,this redesign is a failure before implementation. Rethink the redesign.

Comment: Please keep the B65 on Dean and Bergen and not reroute to Atlantic Avenue. We use the bus to get from Crown Heights to my kindergartener's school in Park Slope. Adding three more blocks and a major street crossing is a huge disruption. There are many other families with small children dropping children off at various schools (PS9, a chinese nursery school and others) that this would create a massive disruption to their community. Please keep on Dean and Bergen.

Comment: I would like to request that you do not terminate the B2 bus line. This is a necessary mode of transportation for many people in the neighborhood to get to and from the 16th Street Subway station and Kings Plaza. The B100 service is not sufficient service for the area since it may not run often enough to transport everyone during these busy times of the day. Please reconsider any actions to terminate the B2.

Ending the bus route .5 miles away will not. Please reconsider this change.

Comment: Like so many people I can no longer ride the bus because there is no mask requirement. Covid is airborne and circulating on mass transit. Even if you don't restate a mask mandate during crisis like this one (and you should) you could at least improve air filtration on the busses. One step would be opening the windows and keeping them that way but even better would be installing air filtration systems on the bus. With improved air filtration only the people standing near a sick person would catch COVID but people who are farther away from them would at least have a chance at not being exposed to COVID. Right now, the busses are breaking ADA law by being inaccessible to people who are immune compromised or to anyone who can't afford to get sick. These are small steps you can take to save lives and prevent disabling people. If you want more riders, stop spreading covid. You have things that are in your power to do to make rides safer.

Comment: The proposed changes to the B15 and B43 buses will result in both buses running on the same exact streets in Bed Stuy, which will likely increase traffic congestion on those streets while inconveniencing seniors and young students who rely on buses on Lewis Avenue and Tompkins. I have no comment on route lengths or spaces between stops (although I can see how limiting airport access may be a problem for some), but consolidating these bus lines to essentially run the same route will be problematic for folks who live in the neighborhood.

Comment: The B61 serves hundreds of school kids from PreK through middle school. If you end it at 15th and PPW you?ll take that option away from the kids. The B61 allows much greater integration around d15, linking kids in red hook and Carroll gardens to schools in park slope and Windsor terrace.

Comment: The B2 bus line should not be eliminated, it will be inconvenient for those of us who use it to travel outside of the neighborhood. Marine Park is already a two fare zone with no subway conveniently located close by. The B100 is crowded already during peak time and runs frequently. It will also eliminate a direct route to Kings Plaza which has many transfer points and is the biggest shopping area close by. This neighborhood depends on it.

Comment: The B32 bus schedule is every 30 minutes in each direction. Almost daily, one or two buses does not show up, or does not depart the terminal at Williamsburg Plaza. You then have to wait 30 minutes for the next bus. There is no indication on the app when and if a bus is canceled.

Comment: Do not remove the B2 bus in Brooklyn. Many people rely on that bus. It is ridiculous to eliminate it and only allow the residents the b100. It would be overcrowded, and a hassle to get to. Reconsider as the residents need that bus line.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): Retain existing routing
Comment: I'm very concerned about the proposed changes to the B103 bus line. Currently, I use this as an accessible route to get from my home in Kensington to Park Slope. The proposed changes would end the B103 much earlier, completely eliminating the part of the route that goes from this part of Brooklyn to Park Slope and eventually downtown Brooklyn. From what I can see, the proposal is to replace this direct and convenient route with a series of multiple bus transfers, OR it would necessitate a challenging and non-accessible subway transfer at 4th Avenue / 9th Street (where one has to traverse at least 3 flights of stairs without any elevator or accessibility). As someone who makes this journey regularly, this would be a significant hardship. There's also a large constituency of school-aged children who use the B103 for daily transport to middle and high schools in that area who would be adversely affected. Please reconsider this change -- ending the B103 bus service between Flatbush/Cortelyou Road and downtown Brooklyn would be an immeasurable loss to our neighborhood, and the proposed substitutions are not sufficient.

Comment: X27 x37 route: we absolutely need at least one bus to travel the entire route from bay ridge to 57th street before 6am. There are plenty of people who get off Manhattan midtown like me, so to tell commuters to get off downtown and get on a bus or subway at that hour .. and as a woman i do not feel safe. I need to get to the east side midtown so i would have to walk to the 6 train before sunrise? There will be plenty of people who will decide to drive into Manhattan with this plan. Ive been taking the early bus for over 10 years and i had not mind paying the high cost of the express bus since it gets me safely to work. Will have to reconsider my options to work if this proposal passes.

Comment: What a mess this change will cause and create to parents of school kids, people traveling to and from work, people needing the bus to reach the Kings Highway/Quentin Road subway station and to Kings Plaza shopping mall. The MTA is unilaterally making these changes to the B2 bus route and not considering the impact this will have on the lives of Marine Park residents! The B100 is severely overcrowded and not convenient as an alternative. Please do not take away our B2 bus. Please do not change the current routes.

Comment: General suggestions: 1: Eliminate all SBS lines. Anecdotal and observational research (SBS 44 & SBS15 Manhattan) shows that it is a money losing proposition. A large majority of passengers do not pay. The SBS stops are often in addition to regular stops - taking up valuable parking space and making it difficult to passengers to chose the best option for their ride (depending on arrival times). Elimination of the SBS stops and allowing more parking will possibly help mitigate double parking - one reason bus and all traffic is slow. Replace with limited bus service (skipping stops) but leaving from regular bus stops during hours with heavy traffic to certain areas

Comment: 3. Have new bus audio needed for these new routes recorded by a native New Yorker and are accurate. There are examples of announced transfers to buses and trains that are actually blocks away at other stops. The current pronunciation of street names (ex:;Nostrand Ave) and the inaccuracies makes it difficult for someone who is new to route to know where they are going.. I will be looking at specific bus routes and make comments - but I believe these suggestions are applicable to the entire redesign initiative.

Comment: My name is Haiwen Yang and I am a design student pursuing a Master of Industrial Design at Pratt Institute. I saw the ?Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign? advertisement on buses and subway stations, about the project you are working on to improve bus travel. It is a beneficial project because it will improve the public transportation experience for all citizens, especially the senior group as they depend on MTA services for various social activities I am currently working on a thesis project which aims to improve the New York mobility experience for senior citizens by creating a comfortable and engaging space where they can feel safe. I am reaching out to you because MTA provides major mobility services and resources for aging people. The focus of my project is to improve their waiting experience in bus stops and subway platforms, by designing an adaptive waiting facility for them. It would be great to listen to your professional opinions and comments on the design proposals as the project goal is to generate a feasible solution by April 2023. We not only design for the needs of older adults, but also want to consider the actual conditions of MTA. I believe It would also be beneficial for you to partner with my team in Pratt Institute. The over 60 group is reaching 20% of the population in New York City, and we cannot rely on accessibility facilities to meet increasing aging needs because it is costly. My project aims to solve the problem in another way. I would be interested in a short-term partnership with MTA to create positive mobility experiences to senior citizens. If you are amiable, I can email you more information for you to review. I am also available to meet in person or zoom at your convenience. Looking forward to your reply.

Comment: I have a lot of concerns about changes to the x 27. We live in Bay Ridge (last stop). Our family uses that to visit family in the city and vice versa. My MIL is 80 and this is only way she is comfortable coming to visit her granddaughter. I use it later at night when I get off work at 10:30/11:00 p.m. I also use it when I'm leaving the theater on weeknights at 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. And sometimes I use it to go to Manhattan for daytime appointments. Stopping service in the financial district and not going all the way up the line will severely impact my options as a female traveling at night. Please, I beg you to reconsider cutting service on the X27

Comment: Moving the B100 from Quentin Rd to Avenue R is a safety issue for students attending Madison High School. The old route dropped students off in front of the entrance on an extra wide sidewalk. The new route will drop students off 1 block further on a narrow residential sidewalk and then students will have to cross very busy Quentin Rd or Bedford Avenue to get to the school. Additionally, eliminating the B2 will make a currently overcrowded B100 even worse during commuting hours. There are long wait times at Kings Highway because the B2, B100, and B31 bus lines that begin there can't accommodate the volume from the Q and B subway lines during rush hours. Reducing the number of lines to just the B100 and B31 will make the problem much worse.

Comment: I find it frustrating that you would take away the current B43 route. I depend on it and the proposed change would drastically affect my transportation options. It's already undependable. I can't tell you how many times 4 practically empty busses pass by one after another with the next one 28 minutes away. There are no gyms or post offices nearby. Bed Stuy needs development and more resources, not fewer. This change feels short sighted from my point of view.

Comment: The proposed BM7/7c/37 routes involve a discontinuation of the Shore Rd/Oliver St stop to ?improve speed and reliability.? Contrary to whatever data you may have been provided, Oliver St is often crowded with a number of customers waiting to board each route; at times, there may be up to 10 people waiting at a time. This is comparable to guests waiting at Shore Rd/Bay Ridge Av and less than Shore Rd/91st St. I recommend that Oliver St is kept under the proposed draft to keep riders happy and their convenience prioritized.

Comment: Good morning My name is Jennifer Dublin, I live in Coney Island Brooklyn My concern right now is the removal of the bus stop on 17th Street and Surf Ave due to construction with no replacement, the next stop after Stillwell and Surf Ave is 21st Street and Surf Ave. There?s a medical facility between 17th and 19th streets between Mermaid and Surf Ave. There are patients who use wheelchairs, walkers, canes who gets dropped off at 21st and Surf Ave when coming to the medical facility or they are not being picked up when leaving the facility. I would like someone to ride the bus incognito to see exactly what I?m talking about and not just one day but for a couple of days. Some drivers will stop when they see an elderly person others will not stop and will let you know there?s no bus there. Also please take into consideration with the redesigning of this network, there are a lot of seniors also disabled and general public who have to walk a longer distance to get to a bus stop in a high crime area. Please please take every aspect of each situation into consideration THANK YOU

The interactive online map works on mobile, schedules in the route profiles make sense, and only in Brooklyn's route profiles for existing routes have you made data available on where and how many people get on and off along each route. Only thing missing is a list of top 5 bus and subway transfers like in the Bronx. Complaint: the system map (for the Brooklyn redesign) is hard to read. I guess everyone has different preferences, but in my opinion, showing only one line makes it unclear which services are on the corridor and where they turn. The use of one color for most buses which are local green routes is also poor.

Comment: Eliminating the B2 bus abandons these neighborhoods to an already overtaxed. Bus route. It is very hard to get on the B100 because it is overburdened with school children from the many schools in the sector. After Flatbush and onto Fillmore to the Q train you have to wait for a few buses to get on. Also eliminating express buses on the weekends cause this hardship for the disabled and others on this area, getting to the city and a quick and safe manner. You are eliminating numerous neighborhoods that are underserved already. I see that you are keeping these express buses in richer neighborhood. Sounds like discrimination to me.

Comment: B31 service is horrible. Constantly canceling busses forcing people to wait over 30 minutes for a bus. While eliminating half the bus stops may speed up the ride it does nothing for wait time as the drivers will be sitting comfortably in the buses while we passengers stand in the bitter cold or blazing heat waiting for them to let us board.

Comment: 2. Eliminate all buses with steps to get to the back seats. Most of the buses that I am familiar with go through neighborhoods with many senior citizens. They are unable to move to the back of the bus and up the stairs, especially with shopping wagons. The crowd at the front of the bus contributes to slow entering and exiting.

Comment: I am shocked and in disbelief that you are encouraging people to use public transportation and then you remove our essential modes of transportation. The B2 bus is an ESSENTIAL part of southern residents in Marine Park. We rely heavily on our buses to get us to the subway and home without distress. The B100 cannot replace the B2. There is already severe overcrowding on that bus. We will not be able to work or get to King?s Plaza from the train. Elderly and handicapped will be unable to walk so far to get to the bus for appointments. This change will make our lives in Marine Park very difficult and will pave the way for more people to move away in search of a better life. The residents of NYC need to be heard and listened to.

Comment: I was waiting for the B3 bus (going towards Bergen Beach) at E 23 St and Ave. U on the morning of 12/21/22. I use a cane and have a hard time standing and walking. I could not sit because the seats were wet -- although it was not raining at the time. The B3 bus #7171 arrived at approximately 5:55am and DID NOT STOP. I even attempted to wave him down, but it didn't matter. I was left standing with my cane to wait for the next bus. Teach your drivers to pick up people from each stop, not selectively pick and choose where they stop for passengers. It is dark at that hour of the morning and there is no lighted bus shelter at this stop. It is not my fault if the driver is late and is in a rush. There is no reason to play "leap frog" and leave commuters at bus stops. This happens continually on the B3 route. How dare the driver decide that I can wait for another bus in the freezing cold while he is inside a warm bus. Everyone has a job to do - I work in a hospital and don't take every OTHER patient. And to think the MTA is concerned about 20 seconds in their redesign plan! Absurd! If you hired drivers who wanted to do their job, instead of paying for traffic and design studies, the system would be better. Next time this complaint is going to the ADA -- and I am sure it will happen in the opposite direct on my way home!

Comment: I just read your reasoning for some of the changes on the BM 4 bus route....are you kidding? There is no traffic on Gerritsen Avenue ...buses regularly leave 10 minutes late from Lois or they will be running "HOT" throughout the trip. Maybe someone should actually go to Gerristsen Avenue and see that there is no traffic. Taking away stops will not get the bus there 20 seconds faster -- it will cause the driver to leave even later! Not to mention the fact that you are taking away the choice of disabled persons to sit at a bus shelter instead of standing at the Avenue U stop. The ADA will be hearing about this. Use your funds to teach drivers how to pull into a bus stop instead of leaving people a lane away from the curb at First and 23rd in Manhattan! I would be happy to have one of your geniuses accompany me to work and see what I am talking about. Also discontinuing Saturday service will put more of a strain on the traffic problem in Coney Island in the summer! Why are the people in that community given the privilege of being able to take an express bus on Saturday and I will not be? Are you going to have someone come pick me up when I have to go into work on a Saturday? or when I want to go shopping? or see a show?

Comment: RE: B63 removal of stops - Wow, that is a lot of stops to remove. Bus service is especially important for those who have difficulty walking any distance. The great advantage of frequent stops is that it helps all of those people whether parents with young children, people with disabilities, or the elderly. We know the B63 is a rather slow bus, but it is important that it makes frequent stops! I live near the Garfield Place stop. Walking to Union or 3rd Street would be a hardship for the many who use the stop frequently, as I'm sure it true with most of the other stops you plan to remove. Many Manhattan routes have express and local buses. What about that? Thank you for reconsidering this harmful reduction in our service.

Perhaps double busses would be helpful or a shuttle to Ft. Hamilton High School. Kids have rights too and are also rushing "to get to work" in the morning. Thanks.

Comment: the b103 route proposal is horrible. In an area of Flatbush that is already overcrowded and has limited subway lines, eliminating a route that is full of commuters each morning and connects Flatbush with park slope and downtown Brooklyn. Is horrifically confusing. This route is how I get to and from work many days, and how friends in park slope can easily visit me. Please reconsider your plan. The current route is a lifeline.

Comment: If the MTA is measuring ridership statistics for each bus route based on the number of passengers paying a fare, you need to understand that only HALF of the bus passengers pay the fare. The other half of passengers ride for free so you have no idea how many passengers are actually riding each route on any given day at any given time. I object to the B64's route changing in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. You have it going to the 59th Street pier traveling along 4th Avenue then to 59th Street. Prior to your plan, the B64 continued down 69th Street to the 69th Street Pier and Shore Road. Residents in the neighborhood are used to this route going to the 69th Street Pier, and now that a new senior center opened on 69th Street by the pier, the B64 is essential to transport seniors to this center. Please take my objections into consideration.

Comment: The new BM7 express bus in Bay Ridge only going as far as 23rd Street on off peak hours, I completely disagree with this decision. Seniors use this express bus during this time as well as people who have moved their work hours so they can use this service during off peak hours. This bus is always either packed or more than half full so I don't know what statistics you are using to make your decision. Please take my objection into consideration to keep the express bus service in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn as it is.

Comment: I have read the proposed plan to eliminate the B2 bus and combine it with the B100. This is a very bad idea for several reasons. Firstly, the overcrowding that will take place. The B100 is already and overcrowded bus due to the school kids. Sometimes it is extremely difficult to get off at my stop because there are so many kids on the bus. Secondly, for the people who live closer to Avenue P and Quentin Road and even Avenue R to have to walk down to Fillmore Avenue for the B100 is too much. It adds extra time to the commute. I'm in my 60s and still work full time. This would make it very difficult for the elderly to travel to work or to other places. Thirdly, the wait times would increase if there are increased riders for the B100 and it has to stop at every stop. Also, eliminating the weeekend bus is ridiculous. How are people supposed to get to and from the subway? The residents of Marine Park implore you to rethink this decision to eliminate the B2 bus. Has anyone on this redesign initiative actually visited the neighborhood to see this is a bad idea for the residents? Probably not.

Comment: B2 and BM4 are essential to the southeast Brooklyn areas. These buses service several neighborhoods. To cut them or shorten how often is a safety issue. The BM100 already covers 4 middle and high schools, if you cut the BM2 there will be countless time added to working people and students causing lateness and other issues. Th BM4 service already doesn?t cover the day time hours properly. At this point you are forcing more cars on the road because I will now start driving to manhattan everyday.

Comment: This express network is awful; there is nothing that says 'express' about these routes - they get stuck in the same traffic as everyone else. There's no interborough connection so people suffer from the same problem as the subway - they have to take the bus into Manhattan and then transfer to get to the other side of the borough.

Stop making Manhattan-centric bus routes. People have trouble getting around WITHIN THE BOROUGH.

Comment: At the point of 88th Street/North Conduit Avenue It is sometimes very difficult for the BM5 (proposed BM35 under this redesign plan) to access the ramp toward Linden Boulevard (toward Brooklyn) due to heavy traffic coming from the other three center lanes of the North Conduit Avenue plus the other turning lane coming from the South Conduit Avenue on to the North Condi Avenue also adjacent to the opposite side of the three center lanes of the North Conduit Avenue.  Please work with NYCDOT on adding another traffic light that would turn red to stop the flow of traffic coming from the three center lanes of the North Conduit Avenue (at around 88th Street or a little further back at few feet  plus an additional traffic device that would also be able to control and stop the other adjacent turn around land (coming from the South Conduit Avenue) when the other current traffic light in the far right service road of the North Conduit Avenue at 88th street would be turning green.  This would then allow three separate green lights for three separate westbound traffic flows from that point.

Comment: The reduction of service on the express buses is a HUGE problem. My husband and I commonly take the X28 from Brooklyn into Manhattan in the afternoon, and without that our commute becomes much more difficult. We also commonly take the X28 from Manhattan into Brooklyn around noontime. You need to realize that the world is different now; people aren't only commuting during rush hour, nor only in the direction you seem to think.

Comment: It may make sense to have the eastbound B83 route when it comes off of the Belt Parkway to travel north on Erskine Street, east along Vansalia Avenue, south along Fountain Avenue and terminate at the Shirley Chisholm State Park at 950 Fountain Avenue when the park is open and when the park is closed the B83 could terminate in front of the Brooklyn Developmental Center bus stop along Fountain Avenue(s/b). In the westbound direction the B83 after departing the Shrley Chisholm State Park could travel north along Fountain Avenue to Vandalia Avenue, west along Vandalia Avenue to Erskine Street and south along Erskine Street to the Belt Parkway toward Pensylvania Avenue toward the Broadway Junction.  At times when the Shirley Chisholm State Park is closed the B83 would make a U- Turn along Fountain Avenue and then travel the same path north along Fountain Avenue, west along Vandalia Avenue and south along Erskine Street to the Belt Parkway toward the Broadway Junction.   You also might want to consider also extending the B82 & B82SBS routes to the Shirley Chishom State Park/Brooklyn Developmental Center  depending upon how much space is available for a bus terminal at the Shirley Chisholm State Park at 950 Fountain Avenue.   Based upon the B83 route extension/revision mentioned here it would then be unecssary to bring back the B84 route to the Shirley Chisholm Park as I previously suggested in the past.

Comment: Eliminating the B103 is so upsetting!! This bus connects Flatbush and Kensington -  immigrant communities - to the whiter communities of Park Slope and Gowanus whike also ensuring quick access to downtown. Removing this line makes it impossible to connect subways as well. Currently we can connect the 2/5 to the Q to the R/F/G. Removing that creates impossible commute times for this community.

Comment: The proposed removal of B43 busses on Tompkins Avenue boggles the mind--it is one of the more efficient routes from Bed-Stuy to the edge of Crown Heights. The only problem is there are too few busses for that route and one that I've often taken. How doing this would improve service can only be in the "mind" of algorithms.

Comment: Some years ago, MTA 's B51 was such a great convenience for many riders especially Brooklyn customers. Currently, many riders are feeling unsafe on the trains. Would MTA consider commencing the B51 again or restructuring a bus line to accommodate the customers, Monday through Friday 6am-6pm? Please consider this proposal; this form of transportation is greatly needed, particularly for limited mobility customers. Also, Brooklyn's population is drastically changing with the new housing developments and more upcoming housing developments throughout Brooklyn. This form of transportation is greatly needed. Thank you!

Comment: Cancelling the B9 East and west bound on 4th Ave and 65th, near Bay Ridge Towers is a huge loss, especially for our senior citizens. Either option, the remaining stops, are too far, especially for elderly or handicapped. This will result in limiting access to stores or doctors appointments or church. Please reconsider.

Comment: B64 BAY RIDGE . 13th AVENUE DO NOT! divert this route at 4th Avenue! Two routes MUST run from Shore Road- Macay Place THe South Brooklyn Ferry needs all the help it can get to be useful. The West end of Bay Ridge. Avenue needs two (or more) local bus lines. There is a large school on Shore Road. there are transfer points on 3d,4h,5h,7h and Ft. Hamilton Av. There is heave passrnger traffice and frequent service is sorely needed. I use the B64 to 14th Ave for access to the Veterans Hospital. Some Bus drivers use and others avoid the Ovingtonm Avenue OVERPASS making transfering to the overcrowed B70 unreliable.

Comment: On the B63, please don't remove 15 Street and 18 Street stops. Some of these I agree with removing but there are ones I entirely disagree with as a user of this bus almost daily. First, removing 15 st and 18 st stops but keeping prospect ave is a bad decision. At 15 & 18 Streets I see people there waiting and get off there while on the bus. Prospect ave is definitely a less popular stop so it should be the one to be removed to improve speed on the B63.

More stops should be added in these areas mentioned because it is hard for our seniors and sick residents to have to walk 2, 3, 4 blocks to reach the bus stops. Also, it would be very much appreciated if you can add seats at the B103 stops along the east 80th route especially the Ave K and Flatland stops. On behalf of the Canarsie Community, thank you very much for your consideration.

Comment: THE Q56 BUS RUNS FROM VAN SINDEREN AVENUE/FULTON STREE IN EAST NEW YORK TO 170th STREET ALONG THE JAMAICA AVENUE CORRIDOR IN QUEENS. HOW ABOUT EXTENDING THIS BUS THROUGH BUSHWICK/EAST WILLIAMSBURG ALONG THE BUSHWICK AVENUE CORRIDOR TERMINATING AT METROPOLITAN AND BUSHWICK AVENUES. HATE TO SAY IT, BUT WE BUSHWICK/EAST WILLIAMSBURG RESIDENTS CAN USE A BUS RUNNING ALONG THE BUSHWICK AVENUE CORRIDOR INSTEAD OF HAVING TO DO MULTIPLE TRANSFERS. THIS IS EASIER FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER PANIC ATTACKS AND CANNOT ASSESS THE ESCALATORS TO THE ELEVATED TRAINS OF THE J and L TRAINS WHERE NO ELEVATORS ARE AVAILABLE. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS DURING THE BUS NETWORK REDESIGN ESPECIALLY FOR BROOKLYN and QUEENS.

Comment: a) the report makes NO mention of dispatching and control, or the complete absence of these which prevail now and are likely to prevail under the redesigned plan b) any route running at less than 15 minute headways cannot be considered a transit route. Since there are no timetables available anywhere, and espcially at stops (electronic versions dont help those without devices or patience and skills), andy route running at worse than a 15 minute headway should simply be discontinued as totally ineffective. c) The report discusses briefly Transportation Network Companies. There is no such thing. There are illegal taxis, illegals jitney buses, and assorted other unlicensed, unfranchised operators. Until these are eliminated, legally operated bus routes will not be useful. They are a primary source of delays. d) The report makes no mention of developing trolleybuses, which quite effectively served Brooklyn until 1960. These are the most efficient means of bus transportation, as is proven all around the world. They are fare more energy efficient than battery buses.

Getting rid of the bus stops between Worth St to 23 st is inhumane. This is why the residents of Bath Beach area will all move to NJ in time. Please reconsider eliminating these stops in an already dangerous time to commute by subway. You would be making it incredibly difficult to commute to work for many.

Comment: The proposed plan changes for the X27 & x37 are detrimental to daily commuters into Manhattan. Cutting service between 23rd street and Thomas street leaves several riders stranded that are trying to get home to bayridge. The subway is not safe. As a daily rider for over 15 years the stops do not bother riders. It is the traffic on the fdr and bqe that make the commute long.

Comment: We depend on the express buses BM4 to get us to Manhattan safely. The buses as it is are cancelled frequently and there is no nearby alternative. Subways are dangerous and crime ridden. Brooklyn is the most populous borough and needs more routes, not eliminating what few remain.

Comment: Please reconsider cutting the B103 LTD out west of Brooklyn College, as someone who uses that route to get to/from Downtown Brooklyn, the expressway service to 3rd/4th Avenue cannot be replaced by the B81 and B37, a suggestion to improve that however is to keep the B103 LTD on 4th Avenue in both directions and only have stops in connecting bus or train transfers thus making it easier and more straightforward for people going between Downtown Brooklyn and Canarsie, keep the B81, and keep the extension to East New York, but please reconsider the Downtown Brooklyn part. In addition to that, the new express bus system has some flaws as well, the idea that three routes are needed to replace one route is unnecessary and just confusing, if that needs to be done however, at least have the BM31-38 be renamed BM1-8x, the BM8, BM38 and BM8c should at least terminate at Surf Avenue to allow passengers still needing to go to Sea Gate to easily transfer to the B36, this has been done before with the X29 back when it ran to Coney Island, it can definitely be done again. The B68 needs improved frequency as it is a gamble on whether service gaps will be 5 minutes or 35 minutes, I?m a fan of the idea that Church Avenue needs a Select or Crosstown route but I?m a bit lost on calling it the B55 instead of the B35-SBS. Lastly, a suggestion for the BM3, BM33 and BM3c is to have them turn on Nostrand Avenue rather than Batchelder Street, this way it has better connection to the B36, B44 and B44-SBS and since the B44-SBS is rerouted to Ocean Parkway there should be less congestion there for this to work.

Comment: While the redesign includes some very positive and much needed updates, it is disappointing to see the updates to the B61. Currently this bus is the only bus linking much of the neighborhood to the Bishop Ford Educational facility, which will have drastic impacts on children of our community. It means that parents commuting with their children and our middle school children trying to get themselves to a very early start to their day have to either walk some dangerous intersections or double their commute. All to save a few stops on the current route. This seems both short sighted and dangerous, please reconsider this update and allow our children to get to school safely and on-time.

Comment: Eliminating the 88th st stop on the x27 is ridiculous. It will not speed service, as everyone who normally gets on at that stop will still get on, but at the 91st St stop. So you’re adding passengers at one stop while taking away the convenience of the other. Not to mention 91st street is UPHILL. You seriously need to reconsider this move.

Comment: This plan would remove my children's ability to access their middle school in a safe and timely manner for the next 3 years. They can currently take the B69 directly to school for Greenwood /MacDonald and arrive at school within 30 minutes. Removing this stop will add a minimum of 30 minutes to their commute- in each direction, and therefore a full additional 60 minutes of travel daily. This would be burdensome and unnecessarily stressful on children who are already having stressful daily commutes. Please reconsider. Holly Hart

Comment: PLEASE don't cut short the B61 route to Greenwood! My son commutes from the waterfront in Cobble Hill to MS 442, and having the bus stop right next to the school made a world of difference when we first started sending him alone on public transit. Especially when it gets dark early, and with extracurriculars at the school that either start at 7:15 am or run until 5/6 pm, it is a godsend for him to not have to make a long walk in the dark, sometimes solo. There is no good reason to cut this route short, since a huge number of families cross District 15 to attend the schools in the Bishop Ford complex -- BUGS, K280 and MS 442 all draw from across the district, particularly along the B61. I know of many families who opted to send their kids to one of those schools *because* the B61 drops the kids so close to school -- otherwise it would not be doable for so many families who either have to turn around and head into Manhattan for work, OR who are hoping to teach their kids some independence by taking the bus alone. The 61 serves a lot of areas that are otherwise not well served by alternative public transit options. This is a silly change that serves nobody but actually makes life significantly harder for hundreds of present and future families at the Bishop Ford building.

Comment: My son and his schoolmates at the two public middle schools and PreK complex in the Bishops Ford school building have come to rely on the B61 bus to take them to and from school. While the B67 and B69 on 7th Avenue get very crowded with the many kids also heading the large school MS88 and the Bishops Ford complex at the same time, the B61 provides a less crowded and more efficient alternative from our location further away from 7th Avenue. If the bus stops at Bartell Pritchard as the proposed change will bring, there will be hundreds of middle school children flooding the streets of Windsor Terrace before and after school at the same time as well. Please reconsider changing this route and allow the B61 to continue through to the Cemetery as currently routed. Thank you for considering the new route of the B81. This will provide much needed direct transportation to Midwood High School from our neighborhood of Park Slope, which will be welcome to both students and parents. This will help provide better access to Murrow High School as well. Thank you for your consideration.

B70 bus stop needs to be moved in both directions of Fort Hamilton Pkwy from 90th St to 89th St. Also, please don’t rename the express route names to BM express routes. I was hoping that S.I. can coordinate with us to reroute S53/S93 and S79 SBS from the 86th St exit ramp off the bridge, turn right on 86th St, to serve transfers to the B1, turn right on 7th Ave and turn on Poly Pl to serve the VA Hospital, turn back around towards 92nd St from the VA Hospital on Poly Pl and 7th Ave to the regular routes to 4th Ave and 86th St.

Comment: This is regarding the BM35. Not only are you cutting service (midday and till midnight). How are people supposed to get to neighborhoods where there are no trains? Why cut a connection to a SUBWAY STOP at Park and 34th st? What kind of nonsense plan is this? My commute is already long 1-1:30h EACH WAY and I have to already transfer 3 times and each time is potentially delaying me in arriving to work. Now I have to risk the randomly running bus (we know that BM5 is a joke when it comes to running on a schedule) because I have to walk further to get to a stop in Manhattan? You are gentrifying the city by making godforsaken spots in the Outer Boroughs with no access to transportation even worse than they actually already are.

Comment: Dear MTA / Bus Network Redesign team - I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed changes to the B61 bus line that would remove stops near Greenwood Cemetery. My 11-year-old son is a daily rider of this bus, and I am deeply concerned about the impact these changes will have on all of the elementary & middle school students who rely on the B61 to get to school. This directly affects several schools in the area that are housed in the Bishop Ford Center including the Brooklyn Urban Garden School, MS 442, and the K280 Pre-K school which are served by the B61 bus line. For many of these students, the B61 is their primary means of transportation to and from school. Removing stops near Greenwood Cemetery would significantly disrupt their daily routines and make it much more difficult for them to get to and from school SAFELY and ON TIME. I urge the MTA to reconsider these proposed changes and to work with the community to find solutions that will better serve the needs of our students and all B61 riders. Our children's safety depends on it. Best regards, Libe Ackerman

There have been many nights I had to wait for over an hour, sometimes close to two, for a bus - and that?s with scheduled service not showing up when it should. Extend the wait time between busses and people will stop using it altogether.

Comment: I would be great if BM3 Brooklyn's 1st stop would be on Oriental Boulevard, and not on WestEnd/Emmons Avenue. People on Manhattan Beach have to walk 35-40 minutes to the first stop to get on BM3 bus to go to work to Manhattan in the morning. Folks from Brighton Beach also have to walk 25-30 minutes to get to WestEnd/Emmons Avenue. The same thing at nighttime. Please consider beginning the route on Oriental Blvd closer to Kingsboro College. Also, it would be so wonderful to have express bus on Sunday (at least once an hour, or once in 2 hours) from South Brooklyn going to Midtown Manhattan. Thank you so much for your help in this great effort.

Comment: I take the BM buses in Brooklyn. It is pretty horrifying to me to see the amount of cuts that are going to be made to these Xpress buses. I am 63 years old and I have mobility issues. It seems like you?re going to be reducing a lot of the bus stops, etc. Please, please give further consideration to not making such extreme cutbacks. You?re going to affect a lot of seniors like myself who still work and go to doctors in the city. And these buses serve the lower half of Brooklyn, where there is a Transit desert. thank you.

Comment: To whom it may concern, Greetings. I am all in favor of the B40 rush line. Only suggestion would be to have a LIMITED B40 rush line which would start at Flatbush / Nostrand Ave and end 70th St / Veterans Ave. The Flatbush / Nostrand Ave Stop is by far the busiest and requires an empty bus for the most pickups and drop offs week days during rush hour. Thank you very much and have a great day. - Nicholas Napolitano

Comment: DO NOT remove x28 and x38 bus service. It is ESSENTIAL to connect commuters and students to Manhattan. Under no circumstances should this bus be removed. It will drastically ruin quality of life as well as increase commute times by up to 200%.

Comment: I?m extremely concerned about the proposed changes to the B62 and moving it to McGuinness from Manhattan ave. The B 62 is used extensively in its current state to get across the Pulaski bridge and also to get to Williamsburg. Moving it to McGuinness makes it unusable for people who live in Greenpoint and Williamsburg. It would be super far from where anyone lives. It would be too far to walk when commuting to and from work. People like myself rely on this bus. Mta should not be cutting out transportation options. If they want to expand, add a new bus. The B32 does not run often enough to replace the B 62. Also worth noting that the bus is used by older residents and those who need east access. It?s wrong to expect us to walk extra far for no reason. The B 62 is good as is. Just run more buses.

Comment: The MTA proposes a redesign of the borough?s routes in a manner that does not serve northern Bay Ridge well at all. Under the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Draft Plan, the B64 would run along 4th Avenue, no longer serving avenues along 69th Street (Bay Ridge Ave) from Third Ave through Shore Road. This would be a total of five abandoned avenues no longer served by the B64 over a 7/10s of a mile stretch. The route presently serves many K-12 students. For example, the ?neighborhood school? catchment area for McKinley Intermediate Middle School (1,758 students, Ft. Hamilton Parkway/ 73rd Street) includes most of northern Bay Ridge, and many preteen students in the 6th through 8th grade use the B64 as the most convenient line from Bay Ridge to McKinley IS. Students on Shore Road, for example, under this new plan, would be forced to either walk a little under a mile to catch the B64, or take the B9 and transfer to the B64 on Fourth Ave, adding significant time to their commute. McKinley, however, is not the only school injured under this proposed plan. The B64 is a vital point of connection between the Bay Ridge community and The Christa McAuliffe School (990 students, 65th/12 Ave.) and St. Emphrem Catholic Academy (280 students, Ft. Hamilton Parkway/74th Street). Other schools injured by this proposal include Xaverian High School (1,261 students, Shore Road/71st Street) with students in Dyker Heights forced into a more difficult commute. In addition, seniors who will soon be using the Bay Ridge Center at 15 Bay Ridge Ridge Avenue in what will be the largest senior center in the community will lose an important transportation line as well. The big losers in this Plan in my neighborhood are the old and the young. Simply leaving the B64 intact is the solution. I have yet to see evidence that the present route is inefficient. While the B9 does overlap in part the present B64 route, it provides additional and needed headway for the transit desert west of Ridge Ave that is quite a far walk from the N subway line. The Redesign?s proposal to run the B64 along Fourth Avenue parallels the route of the R train under its wheels and serves no useful purpose. As a social scientist who has frequently worked as a transportation analyst on multidisciplinary teams for our regional MPO and other public policy and transportation organizations, I can confidently conclude that this piece of the Redesign Map is a significant downgrade of the status quo.

Comment: The X28 day time schedule is being decimated according to your proposal. There are no buses after 12 noon going into Manhattan and no buses coming out of Manhattan before 2:00pm. This is unacceptable to Seniors, shift workers, students. We live in a transportation desert. We deserve coverage all day long!

Comment: The B14 should be extended to Cross Bay Blvd. The B15 needs to remain as making local stops with the B55 operating on Linden Blvd making few stops. There needs to be three or four bus routes to JFK not only one. The B16 needs to be extended to E98 St or the Sutter Avenue Station.

Comment: The b15 - You can still send it to JFK along with the B55 select. The B15 needs a limited route, a lot of people would agree. The timing also is a mess. One day it has good frequency, the next day it doesn't. I take the B15 to work almost every day. If I miss a bus, I have to wait 20-30 minutes for the next one because they are all backed up on each other. Need to look into the timing.

Comment: Specifically for the connect from East New York to Ridgewood, I think the B13 straightening out is a good idea, but the Q67 should be extended to Cypress Hills to cover those areas in the northern part of Glendale and maintain that connection. You don't need the bus to go all the way to East New York, but you could at least connect to Crescent street and the J train, or connect with the B13 to continue into East New York. Otherwise that area of Glendale only has service to the North and the West

Comment: There are a lot of seniors who live on Van Siclen and Linden blvd, as well as people with group homes and dayhab centers in that area. The B83 is good, but maybe the B103 could join Van Siclen and then come into New Lots to avoid congestion. This may change once the 3 and L train accessible stations are implemented, but for now, we need to ensure that these communities have service.

Ideally, we would like to see an improvement in the bus service with buses running on a more regular basis. This is not acceptable for a city like NY to have inconsistent schedules and poor service outside of Manhattan. Looking forward to hearing from you soon ! Kind regards, Benjamin Aubry

Comment: I'm retired transit. I know money is important. But do you consider your population? Look at them - look at your express buses. A lot of the people that take these buses are older, so they can go to Manhattan, to go to a play, etc. These people pay their dues, we all pay our dues and we should not be locked out of our transportation because its been decided that the ridership doesn't pay. In this end of Brooklyn the service has gotten better but it still isn't good enough.

Comment: Nicholas left out one piece on the B64. When it turns down Harway ave, it is going past senior centers, there's an agency that works with people with disabilities/dayhab programs, two schools, John Jay, etc. People use that bus because it goes to Stillwell ave terminal, which is a major ADA accessible station.

Comment: Hi, I just had one of many experiences where I have had to change my travel plans because there was no b62 bus for over 20 minutes. The service is too infrequent for such an important route. Also, the first stop in LIC never has busses leave at scheduled times. It would be helpful to have, at the minimum, predictable departures since they are so infrequent. Not many ways between Queens and Brooklyn and this is a great one. Please invest resources to improve.B62 Bus-L I CITY QUEENS PLAZA

Comment: I live in Windsor Terrace. I would appreciate more understanding of the B69, B67, and B81. There are so many seniors that live in this part of the neighborhood that take the bus to go to Methodist Hospital. Reducing service to twice an hour is a concern, especially for senior citizens.

The easiest thing to do would be to connect the B68 and the B70 together, connecting Windsor Terrace all the way to Bay Ridge.

Comment: There don't seem to be any buses that serve Methodist Hospital with 24 hour bus service. This is a point in the redesign plan but I don't see it here. Folks in Windsor Terrace and Kensington don't go to Langhone we go to Methodist. We need 24 hour access to Methodist, preferable with service that doesn't only run every 30 minutes.

Comment: As an alternate to Beverly Road Church Avenue could be utilized as well.
Beverly Road is better than Cortelyou Road because it is less congested but narrow.
Therefore Church Avenue could also be considered because it is wider than Beverly Road and has a bus lane as well.

Comment: The B37 - the bus runs relatively infrequently. There has been a lot of development of the Sunset Park waterfront since the last redesign. It is very difficult to walk from the train at 4th ave down to the waterfront, the highway is in the way and there is a hill. Should add additional service to these areas instead.

Comment: I'd like to refer the team to some comments in the chat, both have to do with the Bay Ridge/Sunset Park waterfront area. The B64 - residents will be losing service there. Although the B9 exists, it goes in a different direction than the B64 and will make it much harder to between, for example, Severian High School and Dyker Heights and Bath Beach. The bus should turn on Ridge blvd instead of 4th ave. It would eliminate a turn at a very dangerous intersection with a long light and anticipates future development at that waterfront area.

Comment: The X27 is the fastest way for me to get to my office. Walking to the R train is very cumbersome. The lines are very long in the morning. We should reconsider the frequency and possibly expand to the West Village.

Comment: I current take the X37 to work, I took the X27 to high school. Given the recent terrorist attack on the subway and other incidents, I strongly prefer to use the express buses. Both of my parents have disabilities, they use the express buses instead of the subways because it reduces the burden of transferring. It sounds like service was being removed, but the naming conventions are confusing. Can we review this?

Comment: why truncate the B103? it's one of the few express routes that connects those two points in the borough. Flatbush is already SO congested.

Comment: Please do not reduce bus service along Cortelyou Road. Many around here rely on it. The B103 currently goes direct to Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn, please keep it that way. The B68 is particularly important. The BM1, BM2, and BM3 stop on Cortelyou and they should not be taken away from this stop. If anything, there should be additions of services, not services taken away please! Thank yoi

Comment: Good Afternoon,

I just found out about the planned MTA bus changes in Brooklyn. By the way, it was through a friend who found it online. I have seen no signs and I ride the bus every single day.

The most significant, or aggravating, are the combining of the B100 and B2 buses. The B2 will no longer go to Kings Plaza and cause shoppers and workers to have to transfer on Flatbush and Fillmore. The other major change is the BM express buses, BM1, BM2, BM3, BM4 and BM5 will no longer run on Saturdays. The only weekend service will be on the relabeled X29, X37 and X38 that run on Shore Road or Cropsey or Surf Ave. These bus stops are not around the corner. It would take me 2 extra local buses and about an hour on each side of the trip to get to Surf Ave. Or I could pay cab fare of about $35 each way to get there. I am not mobile enough to feel safe on the subway. Not to mention the inconsistent elevators. My daughter suffers from anxiety issues and cannot ride the subway at all.

This is outrageous. Broadway and shopping are just coming back to the city and now transit is setting it up for another smack in the face.

No more museums, Rockefeller Center Tree or shopping in NYC for a significant percentage of people in south Brooklyn, if it is up to the MTA. Seems as if they have enough money to pay a consultant but not enough to pay 10 bus drivers each week to run the Saturday service.

 

Something needs to be done about this!

Comment: Dear Mr. Roloson,

Let me introduce myself, my name is Stephannia Cleaton, and I am the government relations manager at Kingsborough Community College.  I hope this email finds you well.  I am reaching out to you because it has come to the attention of Kingsborough that the MTA is considering a proposal to re-route a couple of bus lines that would affect KCC-student ridership to the Manhattan Beach campus. The bus lines are B49 and B64. We hope to schedule a meeting to discuss this with you, but first, we would like to request from you the ridership data on both lines.  We really appreciate any help you can provide. You can email the data to me at [email protected].  Thanks so much.

Comment: We are opposed to the changes to Express Bus service. As noted, CB10 and especially the Shore Road area is a transit desert. Stops should not be eliminated. Terminating service in lower Manhattan is not acceptable. Forcing riders to transfer to other buses or the subway will lengthen their commute. The redesign does not take into consideration how buses are used and by whom buses are used. Morning and evening bus service is for commuters. But many midday users are seniors, people with mobility issues using the bus for doctor's visits, shopping, theater, etc.

Eliminating this stop would force users to go to another stop. If they are travelling north to downtown Brooklyn or Manhattan, the next subway station going north is the 59th Street station. Users would be forced to cross 65th Street and 4th Avenue, under the Gowanus Expressway and one of the most dangerous intersections within CB l 0.

Comment: I am opposed to the shortening of the B103 route, which elimates the bus stops between the Flatbush Junction and Downtown Brooklyn. I have live in Kensington and studied and worked at Brooklyn College. The 103 made my commute significantly easier. I also regularly use it when traveling from the area around Barclay center to my home in Kensington, especially when I am having difficulty with stairs. I can't understand why you would shorten this route. The B35 and B41 are already crowded and the route allows for direct and accessible travel between neighborhoods.

Comment: Dear Chair Lieber and President Davey,
We write to you today in regards to the initial response, particularly from the Manhattan Beach
community, to the Metropolitan Transit Authority’s (MTA) proposed Brooklyn Bus Network
Redesign project, published on December 1, 2022.
Since the public distribution of this plan, we have heard many valid concerns and responses to
the proposed changes, which we have encouraged our constituents to submit to the MTA directly.
We would like to take this opportunity to relay the comments shared particularly by Manhattan
Beach residents in Southern Brooklyn. Many of these residents have voiced strong opposition to
the proposed Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign project; specifically, the proposed changes to B1
and B49 routes, which are used daily by older adults, working people, and students.
It is critically important to acknowledge that the Manhattan Beach community has a rather
distinctive geographical position, with residents being surrounded by water on three sides,
severely impacting the number of options residents have for entering and exiting their
community. Moreover, this community is home to a unique combination of institutions, and
those who visit, work in, or live in them rely heavily on the two current bus routes servicing the
area.
Kingsborough Community College (KCC), Brooklyn’s only community college, occupies the
space on the easternmost portion of the neighborhood. KCC enrolls thousands of students and
hundreds of faculty members from outside of the Manhattan Beach community, and its campus is
home to Leon M. Goldstein High School, to which students and staff members also commute
from all over New York City. Both of these educational institutions rely heavily on both the B49
and the B1 bus routes, especially since these are the only connections between Manhattan Beach
and nearby subway stations.
Additionally, Manhattan Beach is home to the Menorah Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing
Care. Both visitors and Menorah Center staff utilize these bus routes to see their loved ones and
provide consistent care to the residents of the center. Since the center is home to many older
adults and people with disabilities, a large number of those visiting them are older adults
themselves, who need reliable transportation services. In addition, proposed changes to the B36
and B68 bus routes will decrease all riders’ quality of service and bring about unsafe transfers at
dangerous intersections, especially for our older adults.
Lastly, the most visible and utilized portion of the community is Manhattan Beach Park, which
takes up 40 acres of waterfront property. This beach is a popular summertime destination for
people from all over New York City, and as the warm weather months inch closer, thousands of
visitors will be traveling to this part of Southern Brooklyn to take advantage of the beach, park,
playgrounds, basketball, volleyball, and handball courts for their outdoor recreation. The B49
and the B1 routes are necessary to encourage travel to this destination without adding to the
traffic and parking congestion already impacting Manhattan Beach residents in this transit desert.
We strongly urge the MTA to acknowledge these concerns and how the proposed route and stop
changes will impact the demographics of bus riders in this community. We are encouraging the
MTA to host a much-needed outreach event for Manhattan Beach residents to address many of
these issues. It would benefit the community immensely, and assist with formulating the next
draft of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign.
We look forward to reviewing any future updates to the proposed Brooklyn Bus Network
Redesign based on the feedback that continues to be submitted by our constituents and all
residents of Southern Brooklyn, and will work with MTA leadership to ensure that any changes
to bus routes in the neighborhoods that we represent meaningfully reflect the needs of our
constituents.

Comment: As Greenpoint resident, I strongly oppose the super stupid idea redesign the B62 and B43 bus routes. Here are supportive facts and reasons to mine and many others "NO". I strongly protest moving B62 from Manhattan Ave. to McGuinness Boulevard. There are businesses, medical offices, stores and banks on Manhattan Ave. Most people, including elderly with wheelchairs and walkers head towards Manhattan Ave. B 62 and B43 conveniently connected to the G train at Nassau and Greenpoint stops which are located on Manhattan Ave. B62 is very convenient for people from Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Greenpoint, to connect to 7 trains (G 7 E M R N W) and at least 11 buses at Court Square, Queens Plaza and Queensboro Plaza. It is noteworthy that, as at now the problems B62 and B43 give bus riders are about lateness and scheduling. The buses are late. We wait 30, 40 min. very often and then 3 or 4 buses come at the same time. Here the job has to be done, of course. I think that MTA has chosen wrong designers or are they to make life miserable and uncomfortable for many people. They might try their creativity in the clothing field. Everybody, businesses, riders and residents live in Greenpoint concern about the negative effects in our community the irrational changes to B43 and B62 can provide. The idea to make B62 Limited, could come only to someone who never took this bus. The bus might be faster but also will be empty. Is this anyone one's plan who lives somewhere along 21 str. or in Astoria? I am the person who have been using B43, B61(earlier) and B62 for 27 years and I think that whatever is good should not be changed.

Comment: I am curious what the benefit of moving the southbound B43 from Thomkins to Marcus Garvy, where the B15 runs, is. I live in the area and use the B43 to get down to the Atlantic Avenue LIRR station. Moving this 2 blocks east, to a street that already has a bus route, seems to leave quite a gap between Nostrand Ave and Marcus Garvy for southbound buses.

Second, the "B" train should operate weekends to provide weekend Brighton express service and 6 Avenue local service along Central Park West up to 145 Street. Herb

Comment: In marine park neighborhood There is 1.3 miles between the 2 east/west bound bus routes, the B82 and B100. That is the longest distance in the entire Brooklyn redesign program. I cannot walk so far, the B100 should go down Ave R not Filmore ave.

Comment: The bus should stop directly across from the Bushwick bound stop on Gates Avenue instead of on Grandview Ave cause it causes conflicts when using check in apps to check in to to stop cause they claim it's a duplicate when it's not cause one direction Gates Ave is the main street and the other direction Grandview Ave is the main street and if I try to create B13 Bus Stop (Grandview Ave & Gates Ave it will claim it's a duplicate of MTA Bus B13 Gates Ave & Grandview Ave and it's not cause in the Spring creek direction Grandview Ave is the main street but apparently social media claims it's a duplicate and it would eliminate this issue if the MTA would just put the stop directly across from the Bushwick Bound one on Gates Ave instead of on Grandview Ave

For example, I live along the current B57 route and the proposed B27 and B57 Limited both have peak frequencies of only 14 minutes! This is just not often enough to provide high quality service.

Comment: This redesign would be a net loss for me and I would guess most in my area (around Stratford/Dorchester in Brooklyn). My most frequent bus ride, between Stratford/Dorchester and Douglass/3 Av would be impractical on the B81. The current B103 LTD route works well for this trip. Also, my nearest BM express bus stop (on Beverley instead of Cortelyou) would be too far and I would no longer use these buses. Currently I take them to connect with the PATH trains at WTC. Because of the increased walking time I would not be able to take these buses and would not experience any advantage from their increased reliability. I can only speak from my own standpoint, but I hope this redesign doesn't go into effect as currently planned because it would push me toward using car services more and public transportation less.

Comment: Too many senior citizens would have to walk 1/4 of a mile to get to the Neptune Avenue and West 33rd Street bus stop. Must consider demographics (age factor(s) with these decisions. Also should consider safety factors for young and old walking 5-blokcs for the bus stop due to the elimination of B74 stops at WEst 376 and Canal, Bayview and West 36, West 33 and Bayview, West 37 & Mermaid. . Fare Beaters: Should not the Mass Transit System (MTA) focus on the fare beaters, especially on the buses. This would help any financial deficit and speed up travel time due to the bus stopping for non-paying customers and no paying-customers at many stops. ALSO, often on the B74 bus line: Bus drivers instruct riders to enter the bus withoiut paying. THIS RESULTS in no record of customers that need this transportation in the community due to no record of them riding the bus.

Comment: When you make these bus stop changes on the BM2, you would be expecting less rider? I live on 86th street, in the winter, it is dark outside when I leave the house, with crime up so high, you want people to walk from 86th to 80th street to get the bus. Which would be leaving my house at 6am instead of 6:30. Please think about older folks who do not drive or have anyone to drive them and have to walk that far to get the bus.

Comment: In Greenpoint, the modifications to the B62 may appear minor, but they will have a huge detrimental impact on residents. This line is used by both kids coming to PS 31 and PS 34 and by many elderly residents. Reducing access impacts families with kids and is discriminatory to the many elderly who rely on this line. These are people are that are all harmed by having to walk many more blocks. Also, McGuinness Blvd is about to be destroyed by a "road diet". The entire blvd is about to be radically narrowed and incredibly more congested as a result of the narrowing. It will not be able to support a bus line. With the bus running on Manhattan, it is able to move around obstacles by using the other lane. There will be no other lane on McGuinness - a bus will be stopped the whole way down the blvd.

Comment: Please do not alter the B48 route. Nassau and Lorimer are crucial to the route in providing MUCH needed access to Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Bed Stuy, and Prospect Park. Losing stops on that route would be too restrictive. Transportation from Greenpoint is limited as is. Thank you.

Comment: I use thé B48 to commute to my school. I live in Crown Heights and work in Williamsburg. The change to this route will not only affect my commute and make it even worse than it already is, it will impact MANY of my students that take the B48 downtown to commute to IS318. They will have no way to reach the school easily, including my students with disabilities that travel on their own. There is already a staggering lack of accessible connection between Crown Heights and Williamsburg, and changing the B48 route is not the way to remedy this and would only further increase the problem and add to educational inequity in the neighborhood.

Comment: Removing the B2 line and the B100 E 37th Street stop will result in dozens of folks having to walk to the B100 stop on East 34th street. This could equate to an additional two blocks and an avenue for the folks that would normally access the B2 at E36th. Additionally those people won?t want to consider traveling along the Ave U B3 route b/c the Kings Highway Ave U station is only a local. Also by forcing the folks onto the B100 with all the students headed to Madison Highschool, the bus will be very crowded. By removing the Madison B100 stop you are going to have dozens of students walking additional ave each morning which could lead to other issues with those local residents. The B2 especially during rush hours needs to stay in place as the compounded effects of removing it along with the associated B100 mods will have a detrimental effect on the communities they serve. Finally any ridership data collected pre-covid should be re-analyzed as commuting patterns have changed.

Comment: Please do NOT reroute the B62 onto McGuinness Blvd! That street is SO unsafe? I have been almost hit by a car multiple times simply crossing the road there when it is the pedestrian right of way. Additionally, it is imperative that Manhattan Ave have 24/7 service? I heavily rely on it. It also doesn?t make sense to reroute it from Manhattan Ave when small businesses are already hurting? you would be taking away so much business in that corridor.

Comment: Traveling from EAST Manhattan will be very time consuming.  Coming from the 3 and 4 train, at Utica and Eastern Parkway, passengers would then have to take two buses to get to west of Remsen towards Paerdegat.  Currently only one bus is needed.  Seniors and people with disabilities especially will find the proposed changes inconvenient.  Also, the B17 bus is very crowded during rush hours.  Are you really going to have the buses running every 5 to 7 minutes as proposed to accomodate people coming from the train?

Comment: The current B48 northbound (being replaced by the B69) in Greenpoint is used my many young schoolchildren to get to PS110 The Monitor School, which is on Monitor and Driggs. The current bus stop closest to the school is on Monitor and Nassau, making it very convenient for little kids as the stop is just down the block, no need to cross streets, etc. It would be beneficial to the community to keep this bus stop, rather than creating a new bus stop at Nassau and Kingsland. It's only a block away, but why spend the resources to create infrastructure when the bus stop is already there?

Comment: The B48 bus line is a major part of the public transit living in this community, in this part of Greenpoint. Having it run down Nassau Ave has been a huge part of my travel logistics for work and overall daily needs for the past 10 years. It would be a major hit (in a negative way) to the community who lives over here if this was taken away from us. A lot of us rely on this bus route to get to where we need to go on a daily basis as we are not steps to a subway line. Please do not remove!!! It keeps this part of Greenpoint thriving to have access to a range of communities throughout Brooklyn.

Comment: I currently try to use the B48 at the Nasau and Kingsland Ave stop and I can accept the changes that would make it a B69 bus. The issue is that the current B48 service is very unreliable. Last two times I used it, I had either a canceled bus which required me to wait 20 more minutes for the next one making me scramble to get to my appointment. The other time the bus came early and I was there right on time. I would love to use the bus more but with the current service, I only use it when I have flexibility in my schedule because I don't want to be burned. I am sure other people are in the same boat as me.

Comment: I spoke with some folks outside of Assemblymember Emily Gallagher's office in Greenpoint today. Overall, I'm hopeful this redesign will reduce overall bus congestion and bus bunching on Manhattan Avenue. Some thoughts: - I live east of McGuinness Blvd and do sometimes take the B48 to Crown Heights, so I'm not crazy about having to transfer bus-bus to get down there. - When traveling via the L to Manhattan, I do benefit from the redundancy of train and bus options at Manhattan at Nassau. From there, I can take the B48, B62, B43 or G train to the L, depending on what will arrive soonest. - I'm in favor of the road diet on McGuinness Blvd, but moving the B62 over there may not have as many benefits as I'd hope after it goes down to one lane. - There's a - I sometimes travel from Court square to greenpoint, and it's really tough to catch the B62 going south. It seems like the bus often does not leave according to schedule, or even according to when MyMTA/Google Maps/Transit App predict.

Comment: At a time when cities should be prioritizing public transportation to help communities and combat climate change, it is unthinkable that the MTA would propose cutting vital intra-Brooklyn bus routes such as the B48. Intra-Brooklyn travel is already significantly difficult given the lack of north-south train lines other than the woefully inadequate G. I hope MTA seriously rethinks this plan.

Comment: The B103 stop is needed here (Beverley Rd and Coney Island Ave).  If the Manhattan to Canarsie BM2 bus has a change in schedule and does not arrive, a passenger can take one of the other express buses from Manhattan, and transfer to the B103 to Canarsie at Beverly and Coney Island Ave.  Also, the BM2 bus runs hourly during non rush hours.  If a BM2 bus is cancelled or late, a passenger can transfer to and from Manhattan from the B103 bus to express buses into Manhattan.  This is helpful especially for seniors, students, and those who are physically challenged.
(In addition. the B103 should continue its route to Cadman Plaza.)

Comment: I oppose the removal of the B38 stop at Dekalb and Ryerson. Our neighborhood needs that stop. I am frequently at that stop and it is used by many senior citizens and people that use walkers and canes to get around. Eliminating it will cause hardship and congestion.

Comment: The B103 bus is a unique bus line provides a critical crosstown link for Brooklyn residents and workers. I often find the buses full. The use of the highway allows quick access linking Downtown Brooklyn and Park Slope to other parts of Central Brooklyn. The proposed changes would sever that link and force people to two-seat rides and much slower service.

Comment: Terminating all B103 buses at Brooklyn College means no more access to Park Slope/Gowanus. I use this bus to see doctors at Brooklyn Methodist and to shop at Whole Foods. Please maintain some downtown Brooklyn service on this route. Also please consider that the B103 already gets very crowded during rush hour so extending the route will most likely exacerbate that.

Nicole Malliotakis (R-11), Assemblymember Michael Tannousis (R-southern Brooklyn) Assemblymember Alec Brook-Krasny (R-Coney Island), Councilmember Ari Kagan (Coney Island, Gravesend and Seagate) and Councilmember Kalman Yeger (D-Kensington to Bensonhurst) released a statement on Monday criticizing changes that, according to reports from Community Boards 10 and 11, would negatively affect locals, including the elimination of a bus that transports Xaverian students to and from their school.
Among the most critical changes: ...... changes to the B37 would remove heavily-utilized stops in both dir stions by the Foodtown supermarket.

Comment: Hello, my name is Sammi and I'm a Greenpoint resident. I use the B48 in the early mornings and late at night. Riding the B48 makes me feel safe, secure, and appreciated. This route helps me get through the borough and to an array of connections. An updated route would cause further congestion and anxiety about how to get by. I live off the Nassau/Morgan stop, and there are few ways to get around the area without the B48. I please ask you to revise your decision and keep the B48. I see firsthand how many people utilize the current route and its importance. I work two jobs and can not make it to tomorrow's meeting, but do hope the guidance of fellow Greenpointers assist you in making the correct choice. Thank you

Comment: Hello, I'm a resident of S11th Street between Berry Street and Wythe Avenue and my feedback is regarding the B62 and B67 redesign. The redesign eliminates safe and easy bus access for a large part of the South Williamsburg community between Kent Ave and Driggs Avenue and below Broadway. So many of my neighbors who use the B62, especially at the Division Avenue and Berry Street stop, are older members of our community for whom it would be difficult to easily access the proposed stop at Lee Avenue and Taylor Street. It's the difference between a few feet from their doorstep and a nearly half mile walk to the next stop. The stops along Division Avenue are frequently used to access the Metropolitan J/M/Z stop and the new bus route completely ignores the vitality of those stops to our community. As someone who uses the bus stops at Division Avenue and Berry Street, seeing those stops written off for the sake of a limited route is beyond frustrating. In addition, the redesign eliminates B67 service to that *exact same neighborhood*, severely decreasing bus access in an area where the closest subway stop is still a half mile away. The redesign leaves an entire four by five block radius without a bus stop where there previously were at least 5. This change does not serve our community, it serves only the MTA by allowing the agency to decrease service and presumably, costs. Eliminating these bus stops is going to actively harm this Brooklyn community and I sincerely hope the MTA reconsiders this redesign.

Comment: Please do NOT discontinue the B48 service from the Meeker Street and Stewart Avenue stop in Greenpoint to Wallabout Street and Wythe Avenue in South Williamsburg. Replacing this with a less frequent B69 reroute will leave commuters with no overnight service in that area, it will no longer go through Crown Heights or Bed Stuy, and west crown heights residents will not have a direct connection to Greenpoint or Williamsburg. This change is a mistake. I generally take the B48 in the morning between 7am and 7:30am and there are always school kids and elderly people waiting for the bus. It is especially important for ADA accessibility to the Nassau Ave. G stop for residents who live farther east in Greenpoint.

Comment: I am writing in strong opposition to the MTA?s plan to reroute the B48 away from Greenpoint as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network?s Redesign. This route provides a crucial connection between Crown Heights and Greenpoint that cannot be found elsewhere in the transit system. If it were removed, significant portions of Western Crown Heights and Western Bed Stuy would be left without a transit connection to North Brooklyn. I regularly use this route to travel between Crown Heights and Greenpoint and would have no other way to make this trip if it were removed. The proposal also proposes cutting overnight bus service on the B48, which would leave sections of Brooklyn along this route without buses after midnight. As a frequent rider of the B48 during the day and at night, I am writing in strong opposition of the proposal to cut overnight service as well. Please restore the initial B48 route to Greenpoint and 24 hour schedule in the final draft plan of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign. thank you Meghan Galewski

Comment: Regarding BM1 bus from Mill Basin, Brooklyn to Downtown Manhattan to be changed to travel on Water street in Manhattan only (currently going on Church Street in Manhattan): It is not convenient for people who need to take R or W subway or Path train to New Jersey after getting off the BM1 express bus. The subway and Path stations will be very far and will required an additional 15 min walk. it will result in the reduced number of passengers on BM1 bus heading to Downtown Manhattan from Brooklyn. What about people who can't walk at all ? Very disappointed in this redesign. Will have to seek other transportation alternatives.

I already have to wait 20-30 min between buses, and this will only make that worse. Many people live here because of the express bus stop and we will be negatively affected by this change.

Comment: B103 bus going towards Downtown Bklyn should continue.  From businesses, to schools; to court houses; to better quality food establishments; shopping areas are all conveniences for students, elderly, physically challenged and comfort after a long day.
In addition, Flatbush and Nostrand is currently a congested area - both B103 Downtown and Flatbush & Nostrand Avenue buses are a convenience.  Also, transferring to the B41 at Utica Avenue to go downtown is a complete inconvenience and time consuming - not to mention already congestion.

Comment: Hello! I am writing to propose that you please maintain an option for express bus service to downtown Manhattan on the West Side, from central Brooklyn. I currently take the BM3 or BM4 almost daily, and have for years. The proposed re-routing of these buses on Water St in all instances eliminates the ability of riders like me, from central BK, to travel on one bus to downtown Manhattan on the west side, without having to transfer and add an additional 15 minutes or more to the commute. It removes the benefit of the express bus altogether and lengthens the commute, making the fare unjustifiable for me (and life more difficult). Please bring back an option for downtown west side service. Thank you.

Comment: Please do not change the 103 service so drastically. I know many elderly and disabled people that are unable to make it to downtown Brooklyn without this bus service. It is an essential bus line. However a small extension closer to the L train 105 stop is also favorable but not necessary if it will harm the transport of those individuals.

Comment: Dear Bus Network Redesign Initiative, I am writing to express my concern regarding the current bus services connecting Staten Island to Brooklyn. The existing routes are overcrowded, causing significant delays and inconveniences for commuters. I strongly advocate for a brooklyn bus network redesign that incorporates additional bus alternatives and schedule improvements. Furthermore, increasing the frequency of buses on the existing routes would also alleviate the overcrowding issue. By adding more buses during peak hours, we can ensure that commuters have access to reliable and convenient transportation options. This would not only reduce congestion but also promote a smoother and more comfortable journey for all passengers. Additionally, I encourage the consideration of alternative bus schedules that cater to the diverse needs of commuters. This could include introducing early morning and late-night services to accommodate individuals with non-traditional work schedules or those who rely on public transportation for various purposes outside of regular business hours. By diversifying the bus schedules, we can enhance accessibility and meet the demands of a wider range of commuters.

Comment: Do NOT reroute the B52 onto Gates Ave. There is already so much street traffic, often one side of the street is obstructed and traffic backs up. The change would send the bus in front of multiple schools, and remove a vital bus network from communities that rely on it.

Comment: The B52 turns on Classon Ave and again on Greene Ave. The proposal is to bring it down Gates Ave, turn on Washington Ave, and again at Greene Ave. This would bring the bus past a school and 2 pre-schools on Gates Ave. Once on Washington Ave, it will pass another school. The public bus will be competing with a large number of school buses throughout its daily schedule. It also forces the people on Greene Ave to have to walk a long distance to get a bus. This is a lot for older and disabled folks. (Transcribed by staffers from the Office of NYS Senator Jabari Brisport).

Comment: On weekdays the service need sto be increased to every 3-4 minutes due to the students going to school at Madison High School and themajority of riders going to work, there many ways to solve this problem that creates overcrowded buses and resulting a dangerous and unsafe scenario.  1st creat a special school open and school closed schedule for the SS 82 2nd solution would be to create another route just to service the beginning of the SBS82 from Bay 37 to Ocean Avenue as this is where most of the cogestion is happenning.  The students at Madison High School in conjuction with most of the train station at 86th Street and Bay Parkway for the D train, The N line at West 7th Street and Kings Highway , the F line at McDonald Avenue, the B and Q trains at East 16th Street and Kings Highway and the connecting buses at 86th Street and Bay Parkway, Coney Island Avenue and Kings Highway, E16th Street and Ocean Avenue and Kings Highway.  The final way to provide relief would be to add extra busesduring the hours of 6am to 9am and 2pm to 6pm 7 minutes between buses in the morning rush hour is not safe and very unproductive as is creating the overcroded buses and frustation betweenriders specially with the students trying to get to school and the working people trying to get to work.  I believe this would be a a very welcome change on the line and would create and get a very positive response with all the customers ridingthe buses to the trains and the students to school.  The Select Service is used with more frequency than the local service, the majority of the B82 usage and ridership is in the Select Bus Service, increasing the Service would have a greater impact in ridership and great response from the public.

Comment: Hello, I am a student who will be going to Xavierian High School in September. By the time you guys put the changes into affect it will be 2024. I am here to suggest to you guys to please not reroute the B64 bus route. On weekdays, hundreds of students from Xaverian High School take the B64 to and from school. Students come from different areas and the only direct way to school is taking the B64 for most of the school. If service is removed to Shore Rd, it would be a hardship to everyone. It is great that the current route drops students off in front of the school and picks them up behind the school. I feel comfortable and safe with the B64's current route and with the change I would have to walk further, take another bus and would need extra travel time, especially if the weather is not the greatest. This would go for the hundreds of other students if something is not done. Here's a suggestion. I have an idea to keep the original route and also include the new proposed route. Make the B64 have 2 destinations. Make it go on its current route and then its new proposed route. Also you would have to add extra bus service to fill in for both routes. I hope you rethink this and I hope you guys can do something about this. I also have a suggestion for the B1 route as I take it besides the B64. Maybe try to make the B1 a Limited Bus service. Why? The B1 is always overcrowded due to kids getting on and off after school and people needing to get on and off at every single stop off the time. The B1 is also a busy bus route. The B1 should also have a more organized service pattern since I often see buses back-to-back and other times buses not coming until over 20 minutes. This happens on Off-Peak hours. Sometimes the buses are so packed that you will have to wait for the next one and have to wait in a long line to get on the bus. Even half of the time you ride the B1, you don't always get 2 car buses and sometimes you get 1 car buses. It causes overcrowding. I feel like more 2 car buses should be ran to make sure everyone is able to get on and off the bus along with extra service. I hope you guys can maybe consider this idea. After all, I hope you guys read this and think this out as the B64 needs to be reconsidered. I also hope you guys add the Limited Bus Service to the B1 that way there will be express stops for its route. Have a good day/night.

Comment: I think the B 55 route is an excellent concept connecting Brooklyn to JFK airport. I suggest extending the starting point to 50th St. and 14th Ave. to give access to this route to the Boro Park community that has many students who study overseas and use the JFK airport multiple times per year. Additionally, It can be extended further with one stop in Dyker Heights serving the surrounding community too.

Comment: Discontinuing the 18th Ave and 52nd Street Bus Stop as of Feb 2022 has created big hardships for our neighborhood. There is no southbound bus stop from 18th Ave and 50th Street to 18th Ave and 55th Street. The 16th Avenue bus was taken away years ago. There is no bus serving this neighborhood only on13th Ave and 18th Ave. Please help our neighborhood by reinstating the 18th Ave - 52nd Street bus stop ASAP.

Comment: I am writing about the proposed changes to the B63 bus route. I strongly disagree with eliminating the Garfield and Fifth Avenue/7th Street stops. The 7th Street stop is very close to Methodist and many people, including seniors, get off at that stop and walk over to the hospital on Seventh Avenue. This would make it harder for people who are unwell and/or have medical appointments in the building on 263 Seventh Avenue. Likewise, the Garfield stop is a very busy oft-used stop and would create congestion and force people to walk further at the other stops. These proposed cuts are wrong-headed, counterproductive and display a lack of knowledge and care for the welfare of the community that would be affected. I strongly suggest keeping these stops on the B63 route and I am not alone in my thinking about this.

Comment: This section of Gates Ave is much more narrow than the rest of the route heading East. It is a quiet residential street, and diverting the bus route would be a nightmare for traffic, which is already terrible during the mornings and afternoons due to the school buses dropping off at the school on Gates and Downing. This new route would be slower for the bus, and worse for the community. Please keep it running down Greene Ave bewteen Washington and Franklin, as it is now.

Comment: Good morning team,

We had a meeting this week with the new Brooklyn representative for the Governor’s office. In a follow up email, they sent me these comments about service to Floyd Bennet Field and the retirement of the B2. I informed them of our proposals and that I would flag their concerns for the team. Please let me know if you need anything else from me. Thanks!

2. They provided testimony on the redesign. The seniors only have the B2 bus near them and they heard this line is going to be eliminated. What can be done?

Comment: Redesigning the B103 route is the dumbest thing ever. Why eliminate stops and make it more complicated and to do unnecessary transfers when the b103 services so many different neighborhoods. It doesn't need rerouting. Provide more bus to run frequently.

I am almost going to be an elderly I am I am struggling with physical pain, so walking, long-distance and standing for long periods of time this bus line needs to be upgraded, not taken away the transportation, for the elderly around red hook and Hicks Street Please think of your mother and your grandmother. They would like to get around and see the city go to see their doctors think on it.

Comment: Please stop the removal of the B38 bus stop at Dekalb Ave/Ryerson (westbound) and Lafayette Ave/Grand Ave (Eastbound). This removal will cause hardship to the retirement community the lives in the three high rise buildings in the area that consists of approximately 1,000 families; danger to the Pratt students and others traveling at night who would have to walk even further in the dark to get to the next bus stop; and overcrowding at the surrounding bus stops making it impossible to access bus service. Please reconsider your redesign plan and stop the elimination of the B38 bus stop at Dekalb Ave/Ryerson (westbound) and Lafayette Ave/Grand Ave (Eastbound). Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Comment: This nonsense of taking away the B44 (especially when the 2/3 shut down on wkds) & B43 is bullshit. While youve already diminished ridership for many many seniors by removing the Jay St Hub for them to apply for their metrocards, now you want to completely disable them from comfortably going crosstown through BK. Think about the winters, Think about the shadow of night. Whats the plan for those time periods? You all in your ivory tower just ignorantly increased safety concerns for seniors, 2nd/3rd shift employees, young school kids, especially as you all likely DO NOT live in the borough and likely drive or get driven to your destinations. Inconsiderate and not strategically thought out. Your bottomline ($$$) in ridership will drop as people will be forced to arrange w consistently late Stress-a-Ride, Ubers & Lyfts. Newsflash, e'erbody don't use nor gonna use Citibikes neither! Brooklyn Bus Boycott could sooner than later be, a reality.

Comment: Moving the B49 to New York Ave and running it 24 hours is a PARTIAL support. The B44 runs now all the way to Williamsburg. How is it possible that folk using Kings County stops no longer have access to that entire B44 route? Moving B43 to Albany south creates an extremely wide dead zone, very very poor access south for thousands of residential dwellers in Bed/Sty and Crown Heights! New plan adds blocks of east/west walking or attempts to locate a convenient transfer along those blocks. While the demographics may have change to include a ?younger?? population, older residents sustain themselves and their independence with good public bus transport. Please don?t fail us now!!!

Comment: I think the B55 SBS would be slightly reliable. I would just make it extend to the planned terminal for Sunset Park as the buses start getting packed up around 8th and 9th Avenues during the AM Rush. You could also make this a rush hour extension or all time. However, the current plan eliminates the access to JFK Airport from the B15 bus with 1 transfer at the New Lots Avenue Stations on the L and 3 lines. However, I think just converting the B15 into a SBS bus route and eliminating the B55 SBS but make the B35 Limited a SBS bus route just like the B41 Limited. I believe this idea will be more effective than the current proposed B55 SBS and eliminating the B35 Limited

Comment: B69 is running at a very low frequency on weekdays. Every 20 mins doesn't help me get to work on time. Ask the city planning to re-evaluate having "open streets" on Vanderbilt Ave. Such a busy thoroughfare to be shut down. Hideous traffic situations as well as safety issues (EMT ambulances hindered). A half hour trip on Friday became 1-1/2 hours. Poor planning in favor of politics. My bus driver was clearly miserable.

Comment: Hello, I am a mother of two young girls who use the B38 to get to and from school. We live at the Ryerson & dekalb and Grand & Lafayette stop and eliminating that stop would not only negatively impact my daughters safety, it would also put all of the seniors in my building out of their way. There was recently a man who tried to rape a girl just a block over on Washington so having my daughters and these fragile seniors go one block over puts them in harms way. Also, a senior citizen was hit by a car and killed at the light at st. James and Lafayette recently. Taking away our bus stops will cause more deaths such as this one. Please do not take away our bus stops!

Comment: I would like to suggest that the bus stop on the corner of McDonald Ave and Ave C in Kensington be moved across Ave C to the other corner to greatly improve the safety of riders on the B69 and B67, many of whom are kids and families commuting to school. The stop is currently at the corner of McDonald Avenue and Ave C, on the B69 and B67 route, in front of Citi Hardware and Construction. During morning rush hour there are multiple fork lifts operating on the sidewalk, and trucks that block the bus stop. I've seen kids almost get hit by fork lifts, and moms with babies (including me) have to walk in-between idling trucks to flag down and board the bus.

Comment: Hello, I have lived at 824 Saint Johns Place between Nostrand and Rogers for 4 years. The B45 bus route should be moved up one block to Sterling, or down to Lincoln. Saint Johns Place is a two-way street, with parking on either end. Frequently during rush hour or afternoons, delivery trucks or other vehicles double park in the street, forcing traffic around them, blocking the other direction of traffic. The situation is regularly impassable for buses. At the bus stop at the corner with Nostrand, I regularly hear my neighbors complain about the clogged traffic and stalled buses, inching down the block towards them (of course, we could just eliminate street parking, and that would solve all of this, but if that's off the table, we should move the B45 to a wider, non-two way street).

Comment: I believe there should be 3 changes to my area in Brownsville. First, the B7 should be rerouted along Dumont Av to support service to the Junius St-Livonia Av station. Although the B14 is the closest route to these train stations, the route itself has an average 15 minute wait time at Dumont Av/Junius St. Second, we should extend the B42 towards Broadway Junction, via Mother Gaston Blvd. Having the route only going from Canarsie Pier to Rockaway Pkwy station and the B60 being one of the slowest routes, extending the B42 would be a great idea. Having it continue north along Rockaway Av to Linden Blvd, then turning east on Linden Blvd to Mother Gaston Blvd, north on Mother Gaston Blvd to Fulton St, finally going east on Fulton St to the Broadway Junction terminal. Finally, the B14 itself should have a limited bus service, running from Ralph Av/Eastern Pkwy to Crescent St/Sutter Av. Having this would improve service on the B14 during late nights and on weekends.

Comment: Regarding the B38 Route @Clinton Hill redesign: The removal of the Grand Ave/Lafayette Ave and Steuben/Dekalb Ave stops would be EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL to the Clinton Hill community as a whole. This community is made up of a diverse group of residents, MANY of whom are in the elderly stages of their lives. By removing two vital stops from the B38 bus route, you would be taking away from their ability to move about freely. Not to mention, each bus stop is already absolutely packed with people during rush hours. Without proper access for EVERYONE, the MTA is putting their bottom line above the needs of the people in the neighborhood. According to your own website, the MTA?s core values are: equity, accessibility, sustainability, and cost-consciousness; well it seems to me that your ?Bus Network Redesign initiative? is going against your own core values by reducing accessibility and equity in the public transportation system. This city is constantly preaching to stop using cars, to use the trains/buses, or to ride a bike, but removing bus stops is hardly the way to get people to use your service.

Comment: I ride the B103 a lot and it is very helpful for people with accessibility issues to have an express bus from this area to Barclays. This corner is a helpful hub. So if the B103 won't continue, is it possible to have another line that follows that or a similar route?

Comment: The B69 and B67 buses currently act as school buses in the morning and afternoon serving many schools in District 15: PS 230, PS 130, PS 154, PS 10, K-280, BUGS, 442, MS 88, MS 51, PS 295, the Hellenic Classical Charter School. This is not an exhaustive list. When you cut the B69 service from Avenue C to 19th street, you cut school bus service for many families along that route. The morning buses are already frequently crowded and often times it is impossible to get a seat by the Greenwood Avenue stop during the peak times to get to school on time. If there is only one bus serving that stretch of Kensington/Windsor Terrace every 12 minutes, the crowded bus situation will worsen resulting in more kids being late to school. Many of the families that rely on the bus in Kensington at the Avenue C and Church Avenue stops are from lower income families that don't have the option of taking a private family car to school. Please extend the B69 back to Avenue C. Additionally the changes in service to the B69 and B67 cut service from Kensington to the heart of Park Slope resulting in a person traveling from Kensington having to either walk much further to get the B69 or make multiple bus transfers to access the area of Park Slope that is north of 9th street which includes Methodist Hospital, many banks, stores and the main branch of the public library. I urge you to please reconsider the way you have limited access from these areas. Residents who live there will now have to spend much more time in transit or will be encouraged to use private transportation for time and convenience which will create more pollution and increase traffic challenges.

Comment: Rerouting of the B64 away from Shore Road is in effect a cut in service as the B9 cannot accommodate all the ridership. The reroute will also turn a 1-seat Ride into a 2-seat ride from people west of 3rd Ave who want to travel towards Coney Island.

Comment: I spoke with several people and they were generally ok with bus stop eliminations on the B37, B63 and the B70, but cautioned that there are schools to keep in mind where the stops should not be eliminated.  I forget exactly which locations, but when looking through the stop lists in the book, the stops were not recommended for elimination – but we should really double check that.

Comment: This letter is being sent to you on behalf of Shorefront Partnership Alliance and six of our partners, to wit: State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, Assemblymember Michael Novakhov, Councilmember Inna Vernikov, Menorah Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, Kingsborough Community College, and the Manhattan Beach Community Group.
We are united in our opposition to the proposed plan, submitted by your Agency, that would change the southbound portion of the B49 bus route whereby it would no longer come through Sheepshead Bay and into Manhattan Beach to its terminus at Oriental Boulevard. This plan would also change the northbound bus route whereby there would no longer be the B49 bus leaving the Oriental Blvd. terminus, going through Manhattan Beach and Sheepshead Bay to Avenue Z and, then, going eastbound on Avenue Z to Ocean Avenue and turning northbound onto Ocean Avenue.
To change any of the current route, as described above, would not only affect thousands of lives, it could, literally, cost hundreds of lives!!
Menorah is a large nursing home and rehabilitation facility. It houses hundreds of residents and employs, on a 24/7 basis, hundreds of employees. Many of these employees travel to and from Menorah via the B49 bus. The bus terminus is next to this facility. Of key importance is that Menorah has a special section in the facility known as the Memory Care Residence. This section houses 80 Alzheimer residents who are totally dependent upon the staff for their very survival. As it stands, Menorah, like virtually every other nursing facility and hospital, is understaffed, particularly since the pandemic. A large percentage of the employees who currently utilize the B49 bus would be sorely tempted to accept positions at other facilities (hospitals or nursing homes) if their transportation to and from work is extended by needing to take an additional bus and/or increasing their travel time. It would also decrease Menorah’s efforts to attract additional personnel. Bottom line – less available medical care for helpless residents, which could seriously increase the likelihood of residents needing hospitalization due to delayed care and yes, even death! Does the MTA wish to place itself into such a situation? I would hope not!! However, an experienced attorney could put the MTA, a “deep pocket” defendant, into the case by contending that difficulty with public transportation dissuades medical staff from working at Menorah.
Kingsborough Community College is located next to Menorah. KCC, as it is known, is considered by many to be the jewel of the CUNY system. Prior to the pandemic, it had thousands of students who were attracted to the school, despite the lack of simple public transportation, because of the opportunities offered to them for a bright future upon graduation. One of the highlight choices was a degree in Nursing – which requires an internship at a medical facility as part of the course of study. How wonderful that one choice of a facility was Menorah, right next to the KCC campus! The pandemic caused the campus to be closed. It is now open and KCC is working hard to rebuild its student body, giving students, many from lower income households, the chance for successful futures! Part of the successful opportunities, the Nursing program, also provides Menorah with a lifeline for very much needed employees upon a student’s graduation. However, the school becomes jeopardized if students, who need to work hard at their courses, need to work even harder just to get to and from KCC due to extreme difficulty with public transportation. Any diminishment of KCC also negatively affects Menorah.
Manhattan Beach is the home for several thousand residents. A large proportion of these residents are Senior Citizens. Many of them are under the care of multiple physicians who have different specialties. The physicians utilized by many of these residents have their offices in Sheepshead Bay or along Ocean Avenue (or, just off same), particularly between Avenue “Z” and Avenue “P”. Parking is virtually impossible in these areas. Thus, the Manhattan Beach residents use public transportation – the B49 bus. The current bus route takes them from their home, to the doctor’s office, and back home. Simple and helpful. Travel is not something that is difficult, nor does it cause stress. Any change in the current route will cause stress by complicating their ability to reach their doctors and very well may cause many of them to reduce or, worse, eliminate needed medical appointments. Such actions, clearly, would be detrimental to their health and could result in serious medical complications to these Manhattan Beach residents.
All of the City and State elected officials are also adversely affected by the proposed route change as their Manhattan Beach constituents would be virtually prevented from using public transportation to get to the community offices of these officials. The current B49 route has a bus stop about two blocks from the office of Councilmember Inna Vernikov. The current B49 route, southbound, also has a bus stop about two blocks from the Brooklyn Community office of State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton; the current northbound route out of Manhattan Beach has a bus stop across the street from her office on East 14th street at Sheepshead Bay Road. Assemblymember Michael Novakhov is the most hard hit. His office is on Sheepshead Bay Road at Emmons Avenue. The southbound bus stop is in front of his office, while the northbound bus stop is across the street from it. In addition, Mr. Novakhov resides in Manhattan Beach and, thus, he personally will lose the ability to take public transportation from his home to his office and back to his home from his office! Talk about how to keep the public from reaching their own elected officials in person!!!
As you can clearly see, any changes in the B49 route, southbound and northbound, in the Sheepshead Bay and Manhattan Beach portions of the current route will have extremely detrimental to life threatening effects. On behalf of Shorefront Partnership Alliance and our aforementioned partners, we implore you to NOT make any changes to the southern end of the B49 route.

Comment: B103 to Tillary DownTown Brooklyn is much needed. Especially for those who wouldn?t have to connect on busy junction. The B103 is extremely over populated route by it self in the Canarise area. Many people rely on nonstop bus service from Canarise to downtown Brooklyn. It?s the only service we have in the Canarise area. Please do not stop this route it?s also needed for my city agency commute to work daily.

Comment: The first benefit you list in the redesign is: ?Improved connections and a simplified network to decrease travel times and make trips simpler? B49 The B49 to Manhattan Beach will be a mess. It was a simple line to Manhattan Beach for the elderly and all the moms with kids and beach equipment. Manhattan Beach is perfect for that demographic due to less walking and easier access to playgrounds and restrooms. Now folks will have to get off with kids and gear to wait for another bus to access Manhattan Beach. It removes the quick beach trip in late afternoons by making it more cumbersome and taking longer with a transfer! Q35: Getting rid of the Avenue S transfer point doesn?t make sense. It had a bench and shelter, as well as feeling safer when transferring from the B9 to the Q35. And upon return from Rockaway, getting rid of the Utica Ave also removes a little safety and seating when transferring from the Q35 to the B9. It?s the one place I felt safe transferring from one bus to another when returning to Midwood at night as well as having a bench!

Comment: Dear MTA, I am writing in strong opposition to the MTA?s plan to reroute the B48 away from Greenpoint as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network?s Redesign. This route provides a crucial connection between Crown Heights and Greenpoint that cannot be found elsewhere in the transit system. If it were removed, significant portions of Western Crown Heights and Western Bed Stuy would be left without a transit connection to North Brooklyn. I regularly use this route to travel between Crown Heights and Greenpoint and would have no other way to make this trip if it were removed. The proposal also proposes cutting overnight bus service on the B48, which would leave sections of Brooklyn along this route without buses after midnight. As a frequent rider of the B48 during the day and at night, I am writing in strong opposition of the proposal to cut overnight service as well. I would have no other way to travel if these changes were made. Please restore the initial B48 route to Greenpoint and 24 hour schedule in the final draft plan of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign. Thank you, Kimberly DeRose

Comment: Hello, I am a resident of St. John?s Place, and I often take the bus to get my child to and from school. It can sometimes take 15-20 minutes to go the two avenues between Rogers and New York Ave, because there is simply not enough room for the buses to get through. One double parked delivery vehicle can cause a huge traffic jam, resulting in a firestorm of honking that regularly wakes up my child while she is taking a nap. Our family wants more efficient public transportation and safer streets. Therefore, we support the MTA?s proposed change to reroute the westward traveling B45 bus off of Saint Johns Place between New York Avenue and Rogers Avenue. The MTA has cited the need for the change because this stretch of Saint Johns Place is too narrow for two-way bus traffic. Eastward and westward traveling b45 are constantly stuck, unable to pass each other, creating delays for riders throughout the bus network and dangerous congestions for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Thank you for your time.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): 
Comment: The primary problem on the B63, which is incredibly slow between 36th and 60th during most hours of the day and evening, is traffic from double parked cars and cars making left turns. The route will stay slow as long as the city is not bold enough to restrict car traffic. This is a heavily trafficked street with lots of businesses that receive deliveries at all hours of the day and it does not seem practical for this route to have so many parking spaces. Prohibiting daytime parking in the most congested and commercial parts of the route could at least increase the space for temporarily stalled vehicles, including delivery trucks. Left turns could also be banned from this street. Other than that it will help to move the bus stops to be after the light wherever possible, so they don?t have to stop at a green light to make pickups. Signal priority for buses will also be very helpful. As a bus rider, I would also like to have more covered stops for rain and very hot days. This street is busy and narrow so I think this route deserves priority for investment. There are many restaurants and other businesses along this route that are be well-served by this bus line.

Comment: B48: Do NOT remove B48 service from North Brooklyn (Williamsburg/Greenpoint). The connection between North Brooklyn and western Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights is a vital one. It will make it much more difficult to get from most of Williamsburg to these parts of Crown Heights and Bed Stuy without connecting to the B44 at Williamsburg Bridge Plaza, adding much more time to the trip. The problem with the B48 is that is is currently unreliable. It needs to be made reliable for the people it currently serves and not made reliable by completely changing the route to avoid its current problems. Better service will attract more riders!

Comment: Please do not re-route and/or eliminate the B69 bus! We live in Kensington and our son attends school in South Slope and we take the B69 bus daily! It?s the most efficient way to commute from home to school for our son, and is convenient for myself and my spouse additionally to get to and from our own jobs. Not only do we use the B69 bus on weekdays, we often use it on the weekends, also! We take the bus to the library, the Brooklyn Museum, and to other areas hard to reach by the subway. We strongly love having access to reliable public transportation. Please consider the many people whose lives would be negatively impacted by the plan to eliminate the B69. Thank you for reading my comment and considering other redesign options.

Comment: I am a user of the Oliver St stop in Brooklyn and can vouch for its usage. The stop is always packed with passengers and removing the stop will be detrimental to the convenience of many. Also, adding a stop at 3av/Bay Ridge av may cause additional congestion in that intersection, one already plagued with traffic as long buses try to make the sharp turn and pull directly into the stop. Adding this stop at what I?m assuming to be the current B37 stop would also be risky because many cars double park at the B37 stop on a daily basis and thus would make an express bus stopping there even worse, given it?s already turning at an angle to pull in.

Comment: I am a Canarsie resident and rely on the B103 to get to work. I am an educator and administrator at St. Francis College now located next door to Macy's. Cutting service on this line would isolate many of my fellow Canarsie residents who ride to and from work and school on this bus! It is integral to our daily commute that our service not be limited to Brooklyn College/Flatbush Junction. Please know that I am submitting this comment, as I ride to work with approximately 25 other passengers, headed downtown Brooklyn. The alternative bus lines that you are suggesting to get Canarsie residents to downtown Brooklyn by using one busline are unacceptable! They are inaccessible to most of the popular destinations in the downtown area. Do the right thing and keep our beloved, efficient and effective B103 in place, as is with regular service to downtown Brooklyn from Canarsie! With kind regards, Dr. Michelle P Steven Keep

Comment: The B16 needs to be broken up. 1 line need to go 13 and 14 ave and another line need to go down fort hamilton parkway...maybe labeled as B18. The B16 currently terminate at flatbush ave. This should go down empire blvd left on troy ave , right on Eastern parkway and into new term at utica ave...then right on utica, right on empire blvd ...this line would connect two Orthodox communities .. The new B18 can terminate at parkside ave and ocean. It can return on parkside ave around park circle into fort hamilton parkway right on 86 str..left into Verrazano bridge to new empire stores mall

Comment: Eric Adams himself deemed Canarsie ?a community in true need of transit equity,? and as a resident I can say that there are very poor transit options in this neighborhood and it is very difficult to get ANYWHERE. That being said, the B42 bus is a One mile long straight line. There is no reason to wait 10-25 minutes for a bus on a route that is only ONE mile long. Sometimes there will be three buses parked across the street just waiting while hoards of people stand at the bus stops cursing these bus drivers for just sitting there for 20 minutes when AT LEAST ONE of them could be taking the people to the L train. But instead the drivers are taking a 15 minute break every time they drive a single mile. No one understands why. Please fix this. The drivers taking excessive breaks and piling up at the end of the route is the reason my commute into the Manhattan is 1hour 30 minutes instead of an hour. Removing a stop will NOT fix the bus drivers weird time schedule.

Comment: I am writing in strong opposition to the MTA?s plan to reroute the B48 away from Greenpoint as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network?s Redesign. This route provides a crucial connection between Crown Heights and Greenpoint that cannot be found elsewhere in the transit system. If it were removed, significant portions of Western Crown Heights and Western Bed Stuy would be left without a transit connection to North Brooklyn. I regularly use this route to travel between Crown Heights and Greenpoint and would have no other way to make this trip if it were removed. The proposal also proposes cutting overnight bus service on the B48, which would leave sections of Brooklyn along this route without buses after midnight. As a frequent rider of the B48 during the day and at night, I am writing in strong opposition of the proposal to cut overnight service as well. I would have no other way to travel if these changes were made. Please restore the initial B48 route to Greenpoint and 24 hour schedule in the final draft plan of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign.

Comment: I writing on behalf of myself as well as a number of my coworkers at NYP Brooklyn Methodist Hospital who take the B69 into Windsor Terrace and all the way to avenue C on a daily basis. We rely on the B69 as a crucial means of getting to and from the hospital. As you know, healthcare workers do not work 9-5. We are often traveling to and from the hospital at all hours. At night and on the weekends, when buses run less frequently, having the B69 often means the difference between getting home quickly after a long shift taking care of the community's most-in-need, and waiting at a bus stop for so long that we might as well walk home. If you discontinue B69 service into Kensington, you will make the lives of those of us who work at Brooklyn Methodist Hospital far more difficult. I implore you to not alter this service. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Comment: Hello. As a Brooklyn born and raised resident now living in Upstate, New York, I would like to offer my reactions to the proposed. Bus Network design. Overall, there are many positive aspects. Borough-wide on finally updating the Brooklyn bus network. With that said, here are my reactions and counter-proposals that.I would hope operations planning would consider. 1)Maintain at least daily "B82 Local" service operating between Stillwell Terminal/Coney Island and Canarsie/Rockaway Parkway station running from about 530am-1230am 7 days a week on its existing routing. 2)Keep the "B4" route along it's existing routing except for a short route reduction on it's Western Terminal. The new "B4" route would run between the 4th Avenue/86th Street "R" train station and Knapp Street in Sheepshead Bay. 3)Keep Existing "B68" and "B49" services with minor changes. The "B68" would be shortened to it's new Northbound terminus at the Church Avenue/McDonald Avenue "F" & "G" lines station. While the "B49" would run along New York Avenue(Northbound) and Nostrand Avenue(Soundbound)between Fulton Street and Forster Avenue. The "B44" Select service replaces the "B49" along Rogers Ave. 4)Maintain Weekend X28 service (renamed the "BM8) between Sea Gate and 57th Street/Midtown Manhattan. Other than that, I agree with most of the other proposed changes and updates in the Bus Network redesign. If anything else,please contact me. Thank You. Larry Bordon Smith

Although it would bring more traffic to the block I like the convenience of the bus stopping on the corner. I grew up with a bus stop on the corner. My neighbors have brought many, many arguments against the proposal but having heard them discuss it behind closed doors, it's all about parking. They are only worried about losing parking spaces.

Comment: I support the proposed rerouting of the B65 bus to Atlantic Avenue in both directions between downtown Brooklyn and Washington Avenue. This is because when there are events at the Barclays Center, buses can be delayed. I was on one bus that took about 25 minutes to travel two blocks on Dean Street near the Barclays Center! I am hopeful the rerouting will decrease delays on the line. I usually take the bus eastbound from Smith Street in downtown Brooklyn and sometimes see three or four B61 buses at the stop for every one B65 bus. Delays on the line have led to me losing subway-to-bus transfers on my MetroCard!

Comment: I have video and photos of the congestion that typically occurs on Sterling Place between Nostrand and Rogers. There is a dialysis facility on one side of the street in a medical facility on the other. This afternoon there were no fewer than five ambulance transports, waiting to take people home as well as cars double parked on both sides of the road as well as in the bike lane representing families waiting to take patients home. As it is the bike lane is obliterated and cars have to weave from the right to the left to pass the double parked cars on either side. There is absolutely no room for a bus to pass. Pulling out of the garage mid block is already dangerous as one has to nose out blindly past 2 rows of double parked vehicles and hope a bike or car isn?t coming because oncoming traffic is completely blocked by the double row of cars and ambulances.

Comment: I oppose the reroute of 52 bus along Gates Avenue. This creates dangerous traffic too close to PS 56 an elementary and middle school . This will eliminate much needed parking spots, also more noise, and more fumes. Finally Gates already has nearby transit options, while Greene has less.

Comment: Dear MTA, Please do not eliminate BM1 bus weekend service. In fact, I am writing to request BM1 bus service on Sunday as well as keeping Saturday service. I live in Mill Basin in the borough of Brooklyn. The nearest subway station for me is 50 blocks away. BM1 is the most convenient means of commute to my work in Manhattan. Once again, I am requesting BM1 service to be kept, and Sunday to be added. ×28/×38 buses run daily; I am requesting the same for BM1 bus. The next best alternative for me is BM3 and transfer to local B3 bus. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, BM1/BM3 rider

Comment: The removal of the 36th Street/5th Avenue stop on the B63 is not well thought out. There is a brand new public school open on this corner, and it is a transfer point to the D/N/R trains at 36th Street / 4th Avenue, as well as Industry City on 36th Street / 3rd Avenue. It doesn't make a lot of sense to have a gap between 39th Street and 33rd Street, when the most heavily traffic (pedestrian and car) is on.

Comment: Hello, ending the B57 here cuts off a vital line from Queens, Ridgewood, and RED HOOK. This bus line is a vital connection for our community which RELIES on bus convenience since we are isolated from subway service. If we are to get to these neighborhoods w/o the B57, we'd have to take a bus to Smith/9th then the G to the L, instead of simply the B57. Service has already been severely cut to our community. Please do not cut us off even more. Current stop: DIKEMAN/DWIGHT

Comment: I have looked at all the re-design plans and the bus desert from Carroll Gardens to Park Slope and to the B41 persists. Where is the UNION STREET BUS! For older citizens like me, that bus was a lifeline to the Botanic Gardens, the Library, the Museum and Grand Army Plaza in general. Getting the F train to 9th St and 7th Ave does NOT help. Deactivation of that bus line has limited my and other older resident's ability to access any of the services (including doctors, etc...) in the Slope. What is the MTA thinking?????

Comment: Red Hook is like a mini suburb like Coney and Staten Island, in fact, it's a peninsula. Red Hook's community members consist of an aging population, people that have respiratory and mobility issues, other disabilities, and families with small children. Because Red Hook sits on a peninsula they are exposed to extreme heat during the summer months and extreme cold in the winter, walking is a challenge. There is major construction happening throughout the Red Hook development residents have learned to navigate the maze of construction to the current bus stops. Now is definitely not a good time to start changing the current bus stops. Occasionally I have noticed that when wheelchair passengers or parents with baby strollers are unable to get on the bus on Columbia Street because there is not enough room for them to get on the bus. Moving the bus stop to Columbia street will lessen the chances for this population to get on the bus.

Comment: I am complaining about the Brooklyn Bus Redesign plan on behalf of myself and my family. First and foremost, the MTA's representatives claim that the redesign was spurred by low ridership on these Brooklyn bus lines. That is a false premise. Only half of the riders pay their fare. The MTA is working with the wrong number of passengers riding these buses. My complaints regarding the redesigned map include: 1) The redesign of the B64. This is an important line to get to the 69th Street Pier and the NYC Ferry there. Also, the new senior center will be opening by the 69th Street Pier. 2) The redesign of the B6. The B6 presently travels to Shore Road Parkway and stops in front of the shopping centers of Caesar's Bay and BJ's food store. The redesign will force passengers who want to go to Caesar's Bay and BJ's to have to walk one block down that includes crossing the on and off ramps to the Belt Parkway, which always has heavy traffic and drivers traveling dangerously fast and recklessly; A few improvements that we would like to see to the local Brooklyn Bus lines include: 1) The B70 and B4 - run more frequently such as every 10 to 20 minutes; 2) The B9 - make this fleet accordion buses to serve the huge ridership on this line; 3) Offer two transfers on the local Brooklyn buses as the MTA does on Staten Island buses; 4) The B64 - keep the 69th Street and 6th Avenue stop so passengers can transfer easily to the B70 on 6th Avenue and Ovington Street.

Comment: The B61 route would need an increase in service to service people that live between van brunt street through Columbia St heading downtown. There is a heavy volume of people that take the bus on van brunt street everyday including the weekends that rely on the 61. On Columbia Street their is a decent amount of people especially on the weekdays and Saturdays that rely on this bus.

Bus routing/schedule theme (primary, secondary): New route proposal, Service type (suggests different than proposed), Frequency (different request than proposed)
Comment: This is more a proposal than a comment. The Select Bus Service for the B82, the problem with SBS82 is mainly during the a.m. rush hours between the hours of 5am to 9 am from Starret City to Bensonhurst and 530am and 930am from Bensonhurts towards Starret City and the p.m. rush hours of 2 to 6 and 2 to 6 in both directions. The issue is that the buses are transporting students and working people in the morning and in the evening rush hours., there is not sufficient bus service to carry the amount of customers creating overcrowded buses, frustration and anger not only with the students but with the bus operator itself. Either increase more service or create a set of buses that will travel easterly towards Bedford and Avenue P, terminating there and that would solve the overcrowds in the morning and facilitating the student travel to Madison High School and have them turn back or deadhead to Cropsey and 24th Avenue to have them make an extra service trip towards Seaview and have these extra buses terminate at Rockaway Parkway Station and Station. Have some of the same bus operators comeback during the rush hours in the evening and provide the extra service for the evening rush hours. I think having this issues addressed would have a great impact on the public and in turn raise great praises from them.

Comment: If the B37 had more buses, it might get more ridership. It is a bus you must plan to catch rather than just catch because it's almost never there, unlike the B63 which is almost always a few stops away. Why was it a good idea to spend millions to build a tram line down 3rd ave but it was never a good idea to spend much less to put more buses on the line?? There are a lot of stores along 3rd and taking the bus gets you closer to them than taking the subway does.

Comment: To speed up the B63, instead of reducing the number of stops, reduce the number of cars. Get rid of parking spots. Enforce tickets for standing and double parking. Cars are the problem, not buses. With the money from the tickets we can invest in more and better buses, figure out how to make hauling packages easier so people don't think they have to drive to stores on 5th ave to haul their groceries or bagels or whatever. Cars use on avenues like 5th should be reserved for delivery trucks (at certain hours), disabled people, and the elderly.

It is absolutely ridiculous and yet again, we in Bay Ridge continue to suffer with excessive bus cancellations and no shows. Your ?schedule? is a joke and the way you dispatch services is unfair and x27 and x37 riders are victims of your poor and uneven service to our neighborhood both coming and going.

You need more buses peak pm when kids get out of Murrow High School that is a must in both directions and early evening lots of people going home from Flatbush to Sunset Park and in the morning many people going from Sunset Park to Flatbush. The B9 bus is always packed from 3-7pm. Re B11 there is not enough service during peak pm and early evening in both directions. Re B11 You may as well cut service on Saturday Sabbath Shabbos. No yidden using the bus at all from Fri night sundown early evening unil Saturday evening and we do need B11 buses Saturday evening for travel. B8 needs serious help I will get back to you about B8

Comment: Looks like MTA designers keep forgetting how many people live in the area from 24th Ave/Cropsey Ave to Coney Island loop that they decided to eliminate all stops through this line altogether! Or they do not take us for the citizens of Brooklyn and you, gentlemen, think we can fly back and forth, from 24th/Cropsey Ave to Highlawn Ave and back. Thanks, but NO, thanks.

Comment: The B103 should not be eliminated from downtown Brooklyn but should be split into 2 different lines. The B103 from downtown to williams ave, but the new terminal will be where B60 use to terminate..the new B104 can go from fountain Ave/ seaview Ave/Erskine st to Brooklyn college. This way your giving your customers the best of both worlds. Downtown Brooklyn limited or Brooklyn college local...don't have it going to Ashford and new lots...the b6 has that covered

Comment: I am a Brooklyn resident who lives on Nassau Avenue near the very beginning of the B48 route in Greenpoint. As such, the B48 is my primary link to the rest of Brooklyn. This route provides a crucial connection between Crown Heights and Greenpoint that cannot be found elsewhere in the transit system. Many of the regular trips that I take on the B48 will now require a lengthy detour to downtown Brooklyn and a transfer to a second bus. The proposal also proposes cutting overnight bus service on the B48, which would leave sections of Brooklyn along this route without buses after midnight. My wife and I are frequent riders of the B48 at night so I would also like to add my strong opposition to the part of the proposal that cuts overnight service as well since I worry about my wife not being able to get home safely at night if these changes are implemented. These are dramatic changes to the line I use the most and there really are not good substitutes for what we would be losing. The B24 and the B43 are the only other buses even remotely close to where I live and they go to very different places. The G train is also not a good substitute. Believe me, if it were, I would use it more enough because the B48 is unfortunately quite unreliable. I assume after these changes it will continue to be unreliable while also being less useful. Please restore the initial B48 route to Crown Heights and 24 hour schedule in the final draft plan of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign.

Comment: Please, please, PLEASE create more space between bus stops. I appreciate there is a need to accommodate those who cannot walk long distances against overall service efficiency, but the current system of frequent stopping and starting is painfully sub-optimal for most passengers. I recently visited London for the first time last year and I was blown away by the quality of their bus network ? and I believe a huge factor in that is the distribution of bus stops. Please learn from their example ? thank you!

Comment: Eliminating the 103s down town route turns a 1 fare zone into a 2 or 3 fare zone. As it is the only route that alows you to get to certain neighborhoods without taking the train unnecessarily. There is also a safety concern of forcing more riders on to the 2 train or waiting for connecting bus lines in an already over crowded area

Comment: Wow. I've just begun digging into the redesign initiative and have concerns. First and biggest - I understand folks want quicker and more frequent bus service. As do I. But I fear the voices not being heard are those of the elderly and disabled. Before and during my rehab after knee surgery, I learned, for the first time, how difficult public transit was for those with difficulty walking. And those are folks who are less likely to speak up. Getting rid of stops is not helpful because this population is more apt to take a bus than the subway. My knees are healing and I'm doing better, but from my experience, I've become acutely aware every time I wait for a bus or take a subway...and see all the ways it's more difficult for many in our city.

Comment: I am very glad that there will be public outreach events where MTA personnel will actually talk face-fo-face with riders in the local communities. However, I am dismayed that this has not been publicized in any meaningful way. If I were a cynical person, I would say that this is being designed to make it look like riders were given an opportunity to speak in person to MTA people in our local neighborhoods, so that if people don?t come or don?t speak, someone can point to this initiative and say that they had this opportunity but voiced no opposition, Publicity is needed! Thank you.

I would urge the MTA to consider going further and eliminating additional stops along this route. A bus stop every 2 blocks is unnecessary.

Comment: The corner of St John's Pl and Classon Ave will lose both of its B45 and B48 bus stops as part of this proposal. There is a major development currently being constructed on the corner. While the intent to remove some bus stops to speed up service is understandable, the current plan creates an outsized burden on the residents (current and future) living near this corner. Removing only one bus stop would more fairly spread the shock of these changes throughout the community. Ideally, the B45 stop could be preserved --- but regardless, I am asking the MTA to consider the outsized burden of losing both bus stops on this block. There is a large senior residence at 549 St Johns Pl with significant numbers of mobility impaired people that rely on the bus for transport --- forcing them to walk farther and cross more streets for both of the bus routes they rely on will make the bus less accessible to them. Thank you for your consideration.

Comment: I've said it before and I will say it again. This Bus Network Redesign Project must not be done. Having to walk a few extra blocks or Avenues to catch a bus if your bus stop is taken away is not convenient. There are a lot of elderly, people with canes, walkers, wheelchairs or just can't walk a few extra blocks or Avenues. Taking away bus stops is not going to make the ride any faster. What should be done is add more busses, stop double parked cars and trucks and cars and trucks parking in bus stops. Bus drivers need to stop deliberately missing lights, sitting at bus stops for no reason. Fix Omni so that folks don't have to keep swiping their card or device a few times. I can go on an on what should be done.

Comment: I am sending this note to firmly express my opposition to the rerouting of the B52 bus along Gates avenue. When I moved to the neighborhood I viewed a number of homes and purposely selected a home that was not along a bus route. That was an integral part of my purchase decision. I did not want to deal with the noise, the fumes, the traffic and the difficulty it adds to parking, not to mention the people who gather in from of homes while they wait for a bus. It was my choice to avoid that and if the bus is moved to Gates Ave that choice is taken away from me. A choice I spent a ton of money to avoid. Please protect your constituents and help us to avoid this from happening.I wanted to send this message immediately. A bus traveling along Gates will change my way of living. A bus stop on Gates/ Grand will change the make up and atmosphere of my block. I enjoy my brownstone neighborhood and I chose my block because of it?s neighborly feel. Adding a bus makes it like any other street across the city. So much so that if it goes though I would have to seriously consider moving. I do not want to raise my daughter with a bus driving by her house and people standing on the corner waiting for one. Not judging those that due but I made a choice to avoid that and I very much want it to stay that way. This is a fight we need to win. Thank you

Comment: I am sending this note to firmly express my opposition to the rerouting of the B52 bus along Gates avenue. When I moved to the neighborhood I viewed a number of homes and purposely selected a home that was not along a bus route.That was an integral part of my purchase decision. I did not want to deal with the noise, the fumes, the traffic and the difficulty it adds to parking, not to mention the people who gather in from of homes while they wait for a bus. It was my choice to avoid that and if the bus is moved to Gates Ave that choice is taken away from me. A choice I spent a ton of money to avoid. Please protect your constituents and help us to avoid this from happening.

Comment: Fulton/Lafayette/South Portland- The B38 LTD stop used to be located at Fulton and Lafayette but was recently moved due to bus turning issue. Now, those who come from the supermarket don't realize when its close and wind up having to wait for the bus. The LTD stops are now too far apart as a result of thise change. Would like the LTD stop to be at South Portland instead.

Comment: Dear Sarah, I'm Moshe Rezmowitz father of 4 living on 37 st. In Boro Park, Brooklyn. I am just dropping here some lines I'm hoping it will have the best results. Basically I live on 37th Street between 12th Avenue and 13th Avenue, we have on our block 60+ families average family here has 4 kids (some have 8 kids) which totals to about 240 kids on our block! You can imagine how this block looks on a nice sunny day, it's so cute to see those kids playing outside! We also have a huge school in the center of the block but they play mainly in their own yard. We have 2 bus stops on my block for the B16 bus, I would like to ask if you can consider removing one of them and merging it with the other one since it is very dangerous for our kids. I wish to get a positive response! Thank you very much Moshe Rezmowitz917.870.7017 [email protected]

Comment: You need to RESTORE the B71 along Eastern Parkway and Union Street. It used to stop at the Whole Foods and near the Park Slope Food Coop. It used to go down to Carroll Gardens. Look at Park Slope on the map: there is NO getting across except at the angle of Flatbush Avenue and then not until 9th Street. That is ridiculous!

Comment: Good morning team,

We had a meeting this week with the new Brooklyn representative for the Governor’s office. In a follow up email, they sent me these comments about service to Floyd Bennet Field and the retirement of the B2. I informed them of our proposals and that I would flag their concerns for the team. Please let me know if you need anything else from me. Thanks!

1. Floyd Bennet Field is going to increase programming for them and they only have the Q35 that goes there. Is that going to be effected in any way? Are there any discussions about increasing services or providing a shuttle to Floyd Bennet Field? Are they aware of the increase of services to the field?

·         B22: Avenue J & Coney Island Av to Gateway Center (replaces B5 LTD)
·         If B6 operates to Canarsie, then both B21 and B22 can operate LTD between Canarsie and Coney Island Avenue (maybe call them B91/B92 instead). If B6 terminates at Flatbush Junction, then B21 and/or B22 would have to make local stops

Comment: Y?all really screw south Brooklyn bad. When I?m up in downtown those buses come like ever 8 damn minutes. Meanwhile I?m at this stop and there?s like 20 people waiting for a bus that hasn?t come for half an hour and is still 20 min away. Cause we ain?t rich like those gentrifiers in north Brooklyn we don?t get good tránsit? It?s not just this stop either, it?s the buses, the trains, the routes, everything. It?s fucked up and we?re all tired of it. But ooooohhh let?s drop hundred of grand on digital ads on trains and cop some 4 million dollar mosaics for the upper east side, and while we?re at it let?s drop more money than any of us waiting in the cold will ever see in our lives on new trains no one asked for. I?m such a damn advocate for public transit but y?all make it hard af forreal when the only people you advocate for are the people with the means to not wait hours for buses and just take a damn cab. Fix your shit.

Coming from Ikea it should us 14 st into bartell Pritchard....this is giving more customers a north and south way to get to ikea and the red hook section of brooklyn

Comment: I object to the elimination of the Bond St. stop on the B41. I understand the desire to keep the Nevins St. stop on the buses headed to Downtown Brooklyn. It is, after all, a long distance to Nevins St from the stop before at Atlantic Terminal. And I get the desire to eliminate bus stops where possible. However, in my experience, after decades of riding the B41, more people exit the bus at Bond St than at Nevins. The two-block hike from Nevis to Bond or from Hoyt to Bond feels far, particularly in inclement weather. I don't think that keeping this one stop on Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn would make that big a difference in travel time, but it would make a big difference to those of us who commute to Downtown Brooklyn. Thank you for your consideration.

Comment: I am writing to support the plan to reroute the westbound B45 off of St. Johns Place between New York and Rogers Avenues. The block between Nostrand and New York is extremely narrow for two-way traffic and almost unworkable for a two-way bus. When B45s traveling in both directions cross on the block they regularly become stuck and cannot pass each other. The resulting traffic jams cause huge delays and often require drivers to dangerously reverse their vehicles into the busy avenues to try to make room for the bus to proceed.This is a hazard for pedestrians, cyclists, drivers and MTA riders. Thank you for your consideration and assistance.

Comment: I learned that the B45 bus route might be relocated to Sterling Place between Albany and Rogers and I want to voice dissent to this proposal. On my block alone there was just a citibike set up which takes up a significant amount of the block and parking spots especially. This has made it hard for residents to park AND there is a new building being built on New York and Sterling Place that will have significant occupancy. If a bus stop is added, there will be further reduced parking for an increased population of residents. Additionally traffic regularly is fully blocked on Sterling between Nostrand and Rogers because of pick ups and drop offs at the dialysis center. A bus on Sterling at this spot were regularly be in traffic and unable to move ,and adding stops would only increase delays. This is not a functional solution.

Comment: Please retain the B103 Limited line. The B103 is an essential route providing important intraborough service with connections to numerous bus and subway lines. It is well-utilized and with good management its reliability can be improved. Also it replaces, in part, the previously eliminated Cortelyou Road line and would connect with the proposed MTA passenger service along the freight right-of-way.

Comment: I am writing in strong opposition to the MTA?s plan to reroute the B48 away from Greenpoint as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network?s Redesign. This route provides a crucial connection between Crown Heights and Greenpoint that cannot be found elsewhere in the transit system. If it were removed, significant portions of Western Crown Heights and Western Bed Stuy would be left without a transit connection to North Brooklyn. I regularly use this route to travel between Crown Heights and Greenpoint and would have no other way to make this trip if it were removed. The proposal also proposes cutting overnight bus service on the B48, which would leave sections of Brooklyn along this route without buses after midnight. As a frequent rider of the B48 during the day and at night, I am writing in strong opposition of the proposal to cut overnight service as well. I would have no other way to travel if these changes were made. Please restore the initial B48 route to Greenpoint and 24 hour schedule in the final draft plan of the Brooklyn Bus Redesign. Thank you, Nathan

It costs U.S. passengers millions of hours a year! All this new plan won?t help us passengers unless you stop it. Please!

Comment: Hello, please do not redirect the bus line through Sterling Place (near the cross streets of New York Ave, Nostrand, etc). There is too much traffic already on this street due to multiple parking garages, schools, a diabetes center, etc. This will cause a total traffic jam and our street is already small enough. Also it will interfere with the safety of the bike lanes to have a bus going down this small street. Please do not redirect to our street. Thank you.

Comment: hope all is well. I?m inquiring about the MTA proposal for new bus routes in south Brooklyn. The B4 bus is being rerouted, granted it?s a small section of its route however making a significant impact on daily commute for individuals commuting to/from from Big Apple Academy, heading to/from Success Academy, or attend Matchpoint. A great amount of people with kids and elderly with walkers, reside in the area and rely on the B4 going the route it currently goes. I currently take the B4 on my daily commute to and from work. I live on Ocean Parkway and Shore Parkway, a very convenient location for 3 separate bus routes, to my surprise, especially in the morning when I leave to go to work, the B4 has been the most reliable at 0530AM as appose to the B1 that closely services a similar area, I?m waiting for more then 20 minutes for a bus in the dark. Please keep the bus routes as they are you?re hurting a lot of elderly and family with kids

Comment: Most of the redesign involves the removal of bus stops. I think that this is a poor idea. Many riders are senior citizens. If it is too far to walk to the bus stops, using the bus may not be an option for them. Either there are people at the stops, in which case there would just be more people at the remaining stops, which would cause the bus ride to take just as long, and these stops should be considered necessary, or there are no people at the stops, in which case the bus does not actually stop but passes the stops by, so that it does not take extra time. I am not sure how ridership was counted; if a ride is recorded when a rider pays, given that unfortunately many riders are not paying, the statistics would not be accurate. Also, without the B49 bus going to Manhattan Beach, including Kingsborough Community College, there is no way to go from Sheepshead Bay to Manhattan Beach by public transportation, although people do want and need to go back and forth between these two adjacent neighborhoods.

Comment: There are still plenty of people that need the B71. Cutting something due to fewer riders is a copout excuse. At a presentation there is always a person doing sign language, for the few if any who benefit. That is the sign of a civilized society, providing for and including ALL. You need to lobby for more funding instead of accepting the bs of "austerity'--tax the wealthy, provide mass transit for ALL at no or low cost like they do in civilized countries in Europe and elsewhere.

In addition there are several senior buildings and residences near Dekalb and Ryerson and Lafayette and Grand. They cannot walk that many blocks especially at night.

Comment: Regarding the proposed plan of eliminating the B38 bus stops at DeKalb Ave & Ryerson St and Lafayette Ave & Grand Ave, please do NOT get rid of these stops. We have three co-op buildings that house a good number of seniors and folks in the neighborhood that have mobility issues that use canes, wheelchairs, and walkers. For these people to walk to the other bus stops, if you eliminate the bus stops as mentioned earlier, would be too much for those with mobility issues. It is also a safety concern if these people are traveling at night. They could be subjected to crime.

Comment: The 3 cooperative buildings on Dekalb between classon and Ryerson Ave needs a bus stop near Pratt College for the three co-ops and Pratt. Also Lafayette Ave. near grand needs a bus stop across from emporium. Its very crowded and busy over here. this is a major hub.

Comment: I support of the proposed changes to the B64, which support a growing core of residential blocks, and industrial employers and employment centers like Brooklyn Army Terminal, and NYU Brooklyn Hospital. The new Sunset Park routing adds sorely needed 24-hour service to the residential blocks of 60th St, 61st St, and 62nd Street, and supports a new 50-unit apartment building, four District 20 schools, a daycare center, a planned second daycare, and a physical therapy rehab center. The D20 schools served by the new routing include both Sunset Park and Bay Ridge students, so it supports families, especially on 4 Ave and beyond. As it stands now, the only 3rd Ave crossing is the B11, which does not support the whole district and requires traversing hilly blocks, replete with dangers like blocked sidewalks and forklift/truck loading. MTA should ensure that both an eastbound and westbound stop are at 3 Ave on the western side, next to PS939 and 6020 Third Ave. Families with young children are scared to cross 3 Ave on foot, and local seniors struggle to cross its 10 lanes in 40 seconds, so stop placement can address those safety concerns. Adding stops here also daylights a dangerous intersection, increasing safety for all road users. Given that this redesign emphasizes improvements for multimodal connectivity, I also urge the MTA to explore the possibility of routing the B64 to use the loop at Brooklyn Army Terminal's 58 St entrance to provide a more direct route to the NYC ferry.

Comment: The new routes look great. This comment applies to both the proposed b1 and b68 -  instead of having stops at Falmouth and coleridge why not just have a single stop on the corner of ocean ave and oriental? Half the time the buses skip a lot of the stops anyway. There's no point in having so many. And that way if they need to reroute from oriental for some reason they can go to shore Blvd

Comment: Good Morning, I heard about the updated plans for the B48. I think it?s important to keep the current route through Nassau Ave. I use the bus between 2-10 times a week. I would use it more often but most of the time the timing isn?t the same. It doesn?t match the schedule that is posted. I would track the bus through the MTA website and wait to see when it?s coming cause it isn?t very reliable on time. If that was fixed I believe more people would use the bus. I am always with plenty of others on the 6:40 bus. Eastern Greenpoint has a lot of elderly people who use the Nassau/Manhattan route to get around. Please don?t remove it in the new plan. Thank you!

Comment: Earlier this month, we had a constituent stop by on behalf of the numerous seniors living in three large Brooklyn Heights apartment buildings at 101 Clark St, 140 Cadman Pl, and 75 Henry St. These seniors are very concerned that the CADMAN PLZ W/CADMAN TOWER stop that serves these apartment buildings (which have a high proportion of older residents with mobility issues) will be eliminated under the proposed redesign.
Their concern is heightened given the often icy conditions at Cadman Plz E/Tillary St -- a bit of a one-two punch that they feel would doubly deprive them of nearby bus service in the winter months.
These seniors were unaware of and unable to access the MTA's virtual workshop. We'd like to request a town hall for these three large buildings on their behalf, ideally in April. Attendance would likely be in the 50-person range. It'd be great to get someone from the MTA here ("one of the suits", was the specific ask -- I'll leave that interpretation to you) to answer questions and hear/address residents' concerns.

Comment: Please do not cut the B48 bus route as it currently extends into Greenpoint! Our bus and subway options here are already limited and cutting this bus line would be a huge disservice to Greenpointers. I love this bus line to get down to the Prospect Park east area. Many Greenpointers would feel it?s absence. In recent years many of us feel much safer on the bus system rather than the subway and having a bus line that goes directly to Prospect Park east has been so useful for us.

Feels the bus system is good

They are frustrated with limited cash payment options at subway stations (seems to prefer when they could buy from the station agent); not comfortable with using their card for OMNY either

B63
The bus is good, speed is alright

B11
The bus is not frequent and is slow. In the past, when they attempted to ride the bus, the 20-30 min wait has made them opt to walk to their destination instead

It’s okay

B11
Since they live in a building with an aerial view of a B11 bus stop, the B11 arrives too close together, especially at 3pm (understands this is school dismissal time) and at night. When this happens, the next bus will arrive 20-30 minute, which makes the wait way too long

Comment: B60 and B35
In Canarsie and East New York area, they can never catch (wait is too long) the B60 bus and would rather walk (~6mins) to the B35 for a faster commute (shorter wait time)

The service is not frequent and usually has to wait 10-20 minutes for a bus

While this is the BkNR, they would like to suggest that SI-79 should have articulated buses or more frequent service. Currently, since the standard buses have lower capacity, many people have to wait for a second or even third bus to come before they could get on

Comment: The B48 is the only bus that comes near my house and also the only public transportation method that isn?t a 20+ minute walk. If it came more regularly or on time I would take it much much more regularly. Still, I do take it and really desperately do not want to see it go away

Comment: I live on the B48 line. It is a super convenient bus line that I would take all the time if it came more often than every 15-20 minutes. I?m worried about the removal of this line where I live (20 Hausman St) - I wish it instead ran more often. The bus ride replaces a 15-20 minute walk so it just doesn?t make sense to wait for it most of the time, but that would really change if it ran more often.

Comment: The proposed B48 plan is illogical and detrimental to areas of Greenpoint with low transit access. The proposed route takes away the connection to eastern Greenpoint and removes the direct route between Greenpoint and Prospect Park. The current route is well designed but suffers low ridership due to inconsistency, with the bus often leaving earlier than scheduled. Improve the consistency and you will likely see more ridership.

Comment: As a Greenpoint resident living close to the Kosciuszko Bridge, the B48 is essential. It assists the elderly and disabled population in being able to continue living life as part of the community, provides a climate controlled way to get groceries or to the subway, and helps shave some precious seconds off of your commute if you rolled out of bed a little late. Public transit is a public good, and should not be expected to be profitable. ?Redesigning? the B48 service?s service map would alienate even more people who live in our wonderful neighborhood, due to having less convenient stops. I take the bus every chance I get, and would take it more if the frequency was more than every 20-27 minutes

Comment: The removal of the b48 is abhorrent. This bus NEVER comes on time. If it came on time more people would use it. The treatment of this part of Greenpoint is awed. First the superfund site - meeker Avenue plumber and now you?re removing bus service. Not acceptable.

Comment: I rely on the b48 bus to get from my apartment on Morgan and Nassau every day to work. Unfortunately, the service right now is incredibly unreliable and often the bus does not show up at its designated time. I?ve often been left waiting for upwards of 45 min, making me late for work. A large chunk of the community depends on the northern portion of the route, but making the service more reliable is a must.

Comment: Eliminating the B48 portion in Greenpoint/Williamsburg would eliminate the safest and most efficient way for the many students who commute from Greenpoint to Williamsburg for school. Our children rely on the B48 daily. The only other options require them to cross many dangerous intersections or use the subway. Removing the B48 will create a far less safe commute for many children.

Comment: B48 is essential for many in greenpoint area, it provides connection to subway for those living in remote parts of the neighborhood like that past McGolrick part. Reducing or cutting the service would add 15-25 minutes to morning/rush hour commute. Adding more buses would attract more customers and prove the reliability of the service

Comment: PLEASE do not suspend service on the B48. I live in eastern Greenpoint off the Morgan Nassau stop and depend on this bus. It?s one of the main ways I get home from work late at night. It plays a big role in making me feel safe. I just wish it was more reliable. Since I live at the top of the route, it?s unreliability going south affects me greatly. It?s hard for me to know if it?s going to be there or not and MTA workers have told me in the past that the first few stops get immediately skipped because the driver is sometimes running behind. The MTA app will say that there won?t be a bus for half and hour so I walk away only to see the bus drive past a few minutes later. It doesn?t make any sense and is very frustrating. It?s much more predictable riding north on the route. Also I know MANY older greenpointers use and rely heavily on this bus. PLEASE don?t take away one of our main sources of transportation. It connects us to our neighborhood and gives us freedom through transportation. PLEASE instead make it more reliable and I guarantee ridership will increase tenfold.

Comment: The B48 is a lifeline for those of us in Brooklyn- I live almost a full mile from my nearest subway stop and I rely on the B48 to get me there. Unfortunately service is so bad that I often find myself waiting over 25 minutes at rush hour so I have to give up and take an expensive uber. The service needs to increase- 28 minutes is too long at rush hour

Comment: B48 - I think this like would be so much crowded if it was more reliable. I used to take this bus every single day. However, last past years this line become so unreliable, I would be standing at the bus stop around 7.30-8.30 AM and no bus would come. That would cause me being late for work on daily basis

Comment: I would like to comment on the b48 bus route. You are proposing cutting back due to low ridership. The problem is your existing frequency is so low and unreliable that virtually every time I try to use it, it is a cancelled bus. Two weeks in a row I have attempted to get a bus around 6pm and the scheduled bus was either delayed by 20 minutes or it skipped it all together forcing me to walk to our destination. The few times I have made the bus I noticed it shows up early so I have to plan accordingly now. Oh and on weekends, forget it. I never see the bus. I feel like your claim that there is poor ridership is a self fulfilling prophecy. You provide poor service no one uses it. If you provide a reliable service that people can count on, I would use it regularly!

Comment: The bus network has been a foundation upon which communities have been built. It's unacceptable for it to suddenly be redesigned without regard for the people who rely on it. It's important to note that the majority of the MTA's revenue, upwards of $7.5 billion annually, is derived from the taxes of the very people who depend on this service. Changes that negatively impact the most vulnerable members of our society will be perceived as a direct assault on the community by the MTA.

Comment: I am writing to voice my strong objection to the redesign of the B52 route on Gates Ave, between Washington and Franklin Avenues. Currently, the bus runs down Greene Ave, which is a much wider street that can handle buses running in both directions. Gates Ave on these few blocks is much more narrow than the rest of Gates Ave heading East, as it is tight for two cars to pass each other, let alone two buses. This stretch is also already a nightmare in the mornings and afternoons with the school bus pickup/drop off at the school on Gates and Downing. Adding a permanent bus route to this section of Gates would be just terrible. It would be slower for the buses, and worse for the community. Keep it on Greene!

Comment: The City of NY is actively trying to do away with private car ownership, yet the MTA is doing away with the bus stops and rerouting lines. How are we going to get around especially in bad weather? Bus lines are essential for the elderly and disabled! Frequent bus stops are essential for the elderly and disabled. We are a dense population and NEED our public transportation. Lines should be running 24 hours/7 days a week. (Transcribed by staffers of the Office of NYS Senator Jabari Brisport).

Comment: The B48 is the only source of public transport for most of eastern Greenpoint. The lower ridership reflected is mostly due to unreliable service. To cut the line altogether would severely deprive this neighborhood of a vital public service. Do not cut the B48. Increase service so more people will use it, knowing they can count on it.

Comment: B52 - Please do not reroute in Clinton Hill and more stops from Greene Ave to Gates Ave. I and many other senior citizens can't walk another 6 minutes on top of already 4.5 blocks to get to the current Greene/Clinton Hill stop. I will lose the use of the B52 if these changes go through. I also use the B38 but the B38 stops in Fort Greene (where I also go for medical visits) stops are maybe 5 - 6 blocks turn the B52 stop and I would have to walk those extra 5 - 6 blocks if it changes to go to the BAM/Fort Greene area.

Comment: Eliminating the Ryerson/Grand bus stop on Dekalb Ave would be a disruption to the lives of people living in 21st James, 309 Lafayette Ave, and 333 Lafayette Ave which represents at least 2,000 residents. And a higher percentage of them are seniors. It's great for them to age in place and have the mobility to go and come with the buses.

Comment: We need the B52 bus to continue on Greene Ave. It serves a community and has been serving the community for a very long time. Without it, we would have to walk at least 2 more blocks over from Greene Ave to Gates Ave. Many elderly people in this community ride the bus. Also, the B38 bus stops at Ryerson and Grand Ave are also needed and important. There are many elderly people who will severely be inconvenienced and they have to walk to and from the next stop.

Comment: The bus stop on the B38 at Ryerson on Dekalb, Grand St, and Lafayette Ave is essential to seniors who live at 309 Lafayette Ave, 21st James Place, and 333 Lafayette Ave. These buildings are filled with seniors who are disabled, cane users, people who use walkers, and those who are on scooters to name a few.

Comment: No person wants the B52 to move. NOT ONE. It is near Greene Ave servicing businesses. Gates Ave is a small narrow street. It is a one-way between Classon Ave & Franklin Ave and leads to an incredible amount of noise, pollution, and trash. Having the B52 each way would be a major impact on the homes and residences of that line. The bus currently supports businesses on Greene Ave. LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Comment: As an NYC citizen and active member of the community that relies on public transportation, I am very disappointed in the MTA's decision to reroute the bus lines on the B38, B48, & B52, etc. This choice would be actively detrimental to not just seniors but many of us who do not possess private transportation such as cars. Furthermore, the decision would be deleterious to businesses in the area whose workers rely on public transportation. It would seem to me that the MTA does not care much for the social welfare of its commuters or even decent urban planning. (Transcribed by staffers of the Office of NYS Senator Jabari Brisport).

Comment: The B48 is a vital lifeline connecting Crown Heights, Western Bed Stuy, and Greenpoint. It must be saved. Simply connecting at the Classon G subway station is not right. The Classon G subway station is NOT ADA Accessible at all. (Transcribed by staffers of the Office of NYS Senator Jabari Brisport).

Comment: Please do not change the B52. Gates is too narrow to support the B52. Greene is more commercial and elderly communities rely on the bus stops on Greene. There are several schools and pre-Ks along the western stretch of Gates as well that are all very concerned about the increased traffic that a bus will create. The western stretch of Gates is also closer to Fulton, which has several buses and the C train. The bus is not needed on Gates, but it is very needed on Greene!

Comment: I strongly strongly protest the proposed elimination of the B103 bus service. This is one of the few ways for people from Kensington to travel both into areas around Utica Ave and into Ditmas Park Courtelyou easily from Church Ave and McDonald ave area. As many people in the neighborhood are getting older we rely heavily on the variety of bus service choices. I use that bus not only to get to the gym along Coney Island, but also to get to do business in other areas of Brooklyn in the Utica Avenue area without having to pay huge Uber fees. All of the changes you are making lately, including disruptions to the B69 into Park Slope, changing the frequency of bus stops at East 5th St and now proposing eliminating the B103 are making life increasingly difficult for many of us in the Kensington Avenue who have given our lives to paying taxes, educating New Yorkers and running New York City. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Dr. Pamela Ransom

Comment: I wanted to add one more point about my protest of your elimination of the B103 in terms of impact on Kensington. I just went to investigate the proposal rationale for the elimination of the line and see that you argue it will increase racial equity. Please note that this will actually have the opposite impact since that bus route is one of the few that increases mobility between diverse populations groups--e.g. transit between Kensington and areas with a higher black/minority populations and Caribbean communities.

Comment: We are at a community meeting right now and the ENTIRE community is opposed to moving the B52 bus route. Folks on Greene ave don?t want it moved away from them. Folks on Gates Ave don?t want it moved to their street. It is the rare UNANIMOUS issue. Everyone hates this redesign. It will adversely impact the whole community. It will be a serious challenge to seniors and people with mobility issues. It will put young school children at risk. DO NOT MOVE THIS ROUTE!

Comment: Removing bus stops in Red Hook would only further inconvenience residents who rely on them, like stops on on the Lorraine strip, an example being the Lorraine/Hicks Street bus stops. Furthermore making the only form of transportation in the Red Hook area inefficient to the residents and restricting accessibility to people with disabilities and elderly people. Red Hook does not have a train station, which means the elderly and people with disabilities have no other option but to rely on the bus and its stops. Perhaps if the MTA wants to increase efficiency and better schedules, the MTA should reconsider the stop they have for IKEA which was put there to only accommodate that business and not the community. Thank you.

Comment: I think that I makes sense for the stops along the route to be the same each way. For example, if on the route to Brooklyn, you're going to still start at Church St and Park Pl and go to Park Row, Frankfort St., Peal St., Water St., the route should be the same coming into downtown, ending at Church Street instead of just stopping at Pearl and Frankfort. A good majority of the people on any BM1 I take get off at Church and Barclay. Not providing service to that area of downtown in the morning would not allow many people from getting to work who are coming from Mill Basin, which isn't readily accessible to buses or subways that can get them downtown.

Comment: MTA is about to change buses route the B103 first stop in Canarise last stop avenue H and Fatbush avenue . I transfer to B103 at Beverly Road and Coney Island Avenue to get to work at Jay Street. every day. we need the B103 to keep the original schedule. You have to take in consideration individuals who are Senior Citizens ,walk with a cane, children who need to go to school ,individuals who have wheel chair that needs to go their destination downtown. Their are too many felonies happening every day the trains are not safe. I feel safer on a Bus. People are tired of the trains, getting killed for no reason. By cutting back service and re routing doesn't make sense. Your high-frequency network is a waste of time and money. Bus driver gets penalized for being to early. Rather MTA wants Bus to be late. I urge you to please consider and adapt to the needs of customers. who take mass transit. Downtown Brooklyn is high light of New York City . Restaurants, Lawyers, all the Courts Supreme, Family, Civil ,Surrogate Courts. School, Colleges. You need us. that is how MTA makes money.

We will need better policing of traffic.

Comment: I hope you will not cut/alter B48 bus service in Greenpoint. My daughter and I use the B48 regularly, to go to Crown Heights and the Prospect Park area. It is the only bus that runs near us and it takes us to many places, including my daughter's school, that we travel to frequently. Replacing it with another bus that doesn't follow the same route and only comes twice an hour would make our lives harder. Please do not cut this route. Thank you.

Comment: I would like to first suggest that the B49 and B68 remain unchanged. Next, the B100 should remain unchanged however, the B100 should be redesignated B50. There is no need for 3 digit bus route designations. The B103 should be redesignated B30 The 2 new bus routes in Crown Heights should be designated B18 and B19 respectively. The B31 should be rerouted along Quentin Road. When the B31 makes a right turn onto Gerritsen Avenue, you cover the whole length of that street The B2 route should remain unchanged but the western end should be extended. I read in the papers that on and off there has been a demand for local bus service along 65 Street. Extend the B2 by the following routing: , instead of terminating at Kings Hwy-,E 16 St station, the B2 would travel along Av R, right on Ocean Av, left on Kings Hwy, right on E 15 St, left on Av P cutting onto 65 St after crossing McDonald Av , left on 4 Av, right on Bay Ridge Av, left on Shore Rd terminating with the B16 at 4 Av. On the way back to Kings Plaza, the B2 would follow the B16 turnaround and operate via Shore Rd, right on Bay Ridge Av left on 4 Av, right on 65 Street cutting onto Avenue P after crossing McDonald Av, right on E16 St, then regular B2 route to Kings Plaza. The B2 would remain in Flatbush Depot. Has there been a demand for Express bus service in areas formerly served by "Metro Apple Express" or ,"Erin Tours"? Please look into this. Herb

Comment: I want the B81 to go onto coney island avenue as the B103 LTD did. I think it should be this way because I can take the bus from church ave and 7th street stop, also I have friends that would use that bus to go home from their school at the coney island and Beverley stop, there is a middle school right there and many kids use the B103 to get to school. It would be good for the B81to go along coney island av for a bit, as sending it to McDonald Avenue would make those kids commute much more complex. Another reason is that when my grandma comes to my house to visit she takes the B103 because it goes by her apartment and my house. If this is changed she will no longer be able to visit without having to transfer buses. I do like that it the B81 will go to Red hook because I can use it to go to Redhook when I am visiting my friends and use it instead of taking the B61 to the B68, however I wont be able to do that if the bus doesn't go to coney island avenue. Thank You

Comment: We need the B15 buses to stay on Lewis and Marcus Garvey and the B38 to make limited stops. The B15 on Lewis is critical for those with disabilities and with the stop at Myrtle Avenue is a vital link to the M/J express trains. The B15 services folks who actually work at JFK. Re the B38, local stops are a necessity for the many seniors and families with kids. Reconsider these changes. We need more service not less in Bed- Stuy and beyond.

Comment: Well wishes for your redesign, however, the plan to move the B43 Southbound to Albany Avenue, a narrower street will be interesting as Albany experiences the same bottlenecks as Brooklyn between Atlantic and Eastern Pkwy. Additionally, the expected construction at Albany and Union St, the school school buses at Crown Street, the businesses with double parking should be an exciting and challenging as it is on Kingston Ave on the B43 route. Good Luck in your endeavours!

Comment: Re proposed B62 changes. While I understand why you would switch the B62 to McGuiness instead of Manhattan ave to speed it along, I feel this ignores the fact that most people take it precisely to get to places on Manhattan Ave. Manhattan ave is much closer to other transit connections, especially the G, shops, services and people's homes than McGuiness, which is also a dangerous road to cross, and requires extra time to make sure the crosswalk light allows one over in time for northbound buses. Given most B62 users are often seniors or children this especially egregious. While the B43 also serves Manhattan Ave that would often require a transfer to use it for just a few blocks. Given that the number of homes is tiny east of McGuiness, and you also plan to remove the B32 this will remove two vital bus services for north Greenpoint. The B62 might be on time more often if it runs on McGuiness but the whole usefulness of the service will suffer massively. The Manhattan Ave bus corridor is an essential part of what makes north Greenpoint work, please reconsider this shift.

Comment: Dramatically changing the B48 route to eliminate service to williamsburg and greenpoint would be a huge mistake. Riders rely on this bus to go north and south particularly when the G train isn't running and there are no good bus options south of the Classon Avenue G stop. There are few other options if the B48 is re-routed. Eliminating this vital North/South connector is shortsighted at best. Instead, buses need to run more frequently as the B48 is notoriously unreliable which routinely depresses ridership. I've lived off the b48 for 12 years and use it several times a week, however half of the time the bus doesn't even come and I've seen hundreds of riders give up and leave bus stops. Ridership numbers are an imprecise metric when service is so shoddy. Instead, the MTA should keep the route and increase service. Ridership would increase if New Yorkers knew the bus would, at a minimum, adhere to its public schedule and, ideally, increase with more reliable and frequent service.

Comment: hello, I agree with the creation of the B81 - I think it's a very useful commute to reach to a part of Brooklyn that would often require numerous transfers. I do however wish the B9 New York Av and other stops in that area would not be removed. - it's a very heavy residential area and gets very packed during the school year so the stops are useful. I would also hope for some version of a express or limited bus for commuting between south Brooklyn to Queens - maybe around elmhurst/woodside/Jackson heights to Midwood/MarinePark - those commutes require entering a whole other borough (Manhattan) and feel there is untapped potential in creating some express or limited bus service to that area.

Comment: Any Brooklyn bus ?redesign? without the reintroduction of the B71 route for me personally and the citizens who vote, pay taxes and ride the bus in this neighborhood of Red Hook is a non starter. Your ?plan? will fail just like it has failed for the past decade w/o the B71 making a simple short trip to Gowanus, Park Slope and Crown Heights impossible and FORCING residents to endure the insufferable amount of time on the B61 bus and connections it now takes to replace what was an excellent bus route loved by the neighborhoods it served. Why doesn?t the MTA listen to reason? BRING BACK THE B71!

Comment: I don't know how there were any workshops as this is literally the first time I'm hearing of this, but I just wanted to say that you people ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Your own data claims that after running the pilots in the Bronx eliminated over 200 stops for a mere 4% improvement in time. All for what, so a bunch of elderly and minority groups can be disproportionately effected? To actually reduce our mobility? Quit reinventing the fucking wheel and ruining regular peoples lives just to justify your own existence. This "redesign initiative" is just another excuse to waste taxpayer dollars on another financial sinkhole that will do nothing but decrease the collective quality of life. Im sure all the old ladies in my elderly mothers bridge club are going to be THRILLED with the fact they have to walk 15 blocks because the bus service their tax dollars funded their entire lives no longer services their area. You want to fix the problems with the roads? How about we re-enlist the help of a police force that ACTUALLY punishes people for not observing reckless driving and not observing traffic regulations? How about finally implementing some form of enforcement for all the drivers with fake plates and no licenses? How about instead of ruining the layouts of the community with throwing random bus lanes where they aren't needed and redirecting all the crazy traffic on to residential and pedestrian side streets, we preserve the natural flow of traffic? HOW ABOUT MAKING THE SUBWAYS AND THE STREETS SAFE AGAIN SO PEOPLE AREN'T SCARED TO RIDE, MAYBE THEN YOU WONT HAVE TO HIKE THE FARES AND SUCK UP MORE OF THE PEOPLES MONEY? Yeah, I know this will never reach anywhere of value and that at this point I'm basically screaming off into the abyss - not like the soulless elite ever cared about what we think. I don't know to what end all of this is, and by this I mean the slew of recent changes in legislation and city affects, I just know this isn't in the interest of the average Joe. I would like to underline the fact that no one is fooled by any of this. It's stupid legislation and programs like this, designed by people that don't live here or have to take advantage of this infrastructure - that undermine the peoples confidence in the leadership. I can only hope that this erupts much in the same way it did in France in the 18th century. Thanks for nothing from Greenpoint, D

Comment: The new route of the b43 bus as planned will take it into a bottleneck at the corner of Crown and Albany where there is a school with a lot of school bus drop off some pickups and also a vent hole that has many late night events where the street is blocked with double parked cars. It would probably be better to avoid that intersection

Comment: I am a Greenpoint resident. I and others have been depending on Bus B 62 for the past 26 years. It is convenient for me to transfer at Queens Plaza. With the B 62 Bus Route redesign, we stand at disadvantage. First, we will have to walk a long distance to Mc Guinness Blvd. and B 62 doesn't stop anywhere near the Queens Plaza or Queensborough Plaza train stations where most Greenpoint and Williamsburg residents transfer to the trains or many buses around. This redesign will adversely affect us. Some residents will likely be unemployed. I therefore appeal to You to reconsider the B 62 Bus Route Redesign Plan so that our lives will not be badly affected. Please do the right thing to provide us with a bus service that not stress us out. Keep the service as it is. This is the worst Brooklyn Bus Route Redesign ever. Malgorzata Kuzniar

Comment: This is the worst Brooklyn Bus Route Redesign. My opinion is based on B 62. I traveled over 20 years with B62 to Queens Plaza where I transfer to subway N or E going to and from work. I am at Queens Plaza before 1 am. Always I take B62 at 12:50 heading to Greenpoint where I live. What should I do with your redesign? Should I walk from Queens Plaza to Greenpoint at night or quit my job? It is worthy to notice that I am not the only one. It looks like this all is planned to harm Greenpoint and Williamsburg residents I suggest the MTA should create another route ( even express, limited route) for those dedicated workers or riders from Downton Brooklyn to Corona. Thus leaving B 62 route without any changes. Also, B 62 Is like an icon on Manhattan Ave., where are stores, doctors offices, banks, bussiness,B43 and subway(G) station located. I hope my opinion will be considered. Thank you.

Comment: The x27 route should maintain its current hours of operation or span, as riders like myself rely on off-peak service for an enjoyable commute. Furthermore, the Oliver St bus stop should be maintained as it sees great ridership/usage numbers, equivalent to that of the following 91st stop.

Comment: By removing bus stops on Court Street in Brooklyn (the new B27) you removed any efficacy of transportation between the homes and shopping district at the heart of Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens. If the move was to speed up bus movement on the route it is ill-founded. The bus will move at the same rate that it does now, stopping only when a passenger is waiting at a bus stop, or when a passenger on the bus signals that they want to exit at a bus stop. The speed that the bus travels down Court Street is determined by the speed of traffic on Court Street, the number of double-parked personal and delivery vehicles, and the cycle of the traffic lights. No bus ever speeds down Court Street. Smith Street is even narrower, down to one lane not two, and the bus travels slowly whether it stops or not. People who live in the neighborhood use the existing route for local shopping, travel to the subway, and connections to other buses (on Smith and 9th Street and in Brooklyn Heights). Choosing to use surface transportation is not always a personal choice, but reflects that the subway stations along Court Street and Smith Street are not ADA compliant. The only "neighborhood" subway station that is ADA compliant is the Jay Street station, which can only be reached by the bus. In this new plan bus riders are expected to travel to Smith Street to catch the bus every 7 blocks. Preposterous. If these buses now stopped at every stop on Court Street and Smith Street, then the bus would indeed travel slowly because of the numerous bus stops. But they don't now stop at every stop, and they still travel slowly because of the rate of traffic. Why inconvenience the neighborhood that relies on the local bus route for local and long-distance travel. We're waiting for the MTA to show us improved schedules because they reduced the bus stops on the local route. It cannot happen because the stops are governing the travel schedule, the road traffic is governing the travel schedule. This is a very bad plan, for the community, for the businesses along the route, and for those of us who rely on surface transportation on a daily basis.

Comment: There needs to be a bus route between Cobble Hill / Carroll Gardens and Park Slope. The best street this bus could run on would be Union Street. This route would connect to the F/G at Carroll St, the R at Union St, and the 2/3 at Grand Army Plaza. It could continue East along Eastern Parkway to the Brooklyn Museum. Right now there is no public transit options between these neighborhoods.

Comment: Since returning from remote work post-pandemic, I have noted that a good number of fellow BM3 express bus riders use the Trinity Place and Church Street stops. Likely there are more riders on this leg of the route than when any surveys or counts were made for the redesign project. The bottom line: The plan to eliminate Trinity Place and Church Street stops in the morning rush hour must be scrapped. The convoluted (and actually unclear) substitute service undermines the premise of the express bus: Getting passengers to their destination safely, directly, and without the need to change buses.

Comment: Please keep the B70's northern terminus at 1st Av and 39 St. I as well as many other Sunset Park residents rely on this terminal to go shopping at Costco, which is already packed with vehicles. If ridership was deemed to be too low to continue being served by the B70, it is likely because a lack of clear signage and poor road conditions. I believe this would outweigh extending the B70 a couple blocks north of 3rd Av, especially when 3rd Avenue is a pretty dangerous stretch to be crossing as a pedestrian towards the Costco.

Comment: B48 route redesign ? the current B48 route is the only way to get from Franklin Ave/crown heights to get to greenpoint in a reasonable time period and with few transfers. The only alternative path that makes sense without going into manhattan is taking the 2/3/4/5 to Atlantic, exiting the station and walking to the G station; in effect paying twice to travel the few miles to greenpoint. Please maintain the current route as it serves as a vital connection between these neighborhoods, and there are many ways of connecting crown heights to downtown Brooklyn otherwise

Comment: i just found out about the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Plan i had no info from my Community Board No. 1 about hearings on this matter. Therefore, I am submitting this request online for myself, as a senior citizen, as for other seniors who find walking to be an important health issue.. i ask that you NOT eliminate the B43 stops at Graham Ave/Ainslie St and Manhattan Ave/Norman Ave. Here are my reasons for each: (1) Graham Ave/Ainslie St stop is only one block from the Swinging Sixties Senior Center which services many seniors; and (2) Manhattan Ave/Norman Ave stop is only one block from the Greenpoint Brooklyn Public Library. Williamsburg residents have lost use of the Leonard BPL for 18-24 mos. due to renovations. Thus, seniors now must travel to Greenpoint for library services. I believe these are reasonable requests for the MTA to change its plan to eliminate those two stops, so as to help seniors who use these bus routes for accessible travel to help ease walking challenges. I hope that you will take my request under consideration. Thank you. Sincerely, A. DiGiovanna

Comment: Please, leave B62 as it is. We need this bus in Williamsburg and Greenpoint, on Manhattan Ave. and at Queens Plaza where it is easy to take transfers. The customers needs are not considered in your new and worst plan. Do you care of the riders at all? It looks like MTA is working together with those who are doing everything to make people's life miserable in New York and USA.

Comment: I work at Madison Square Garden. I also live in Brooklyn. The Bm3 express bus is the only way I travel to and from work. Since the majority of my events are at night I take the last Bm3 express bus which is around 11:41pm home. The subway is a very dangerous place and I don?t feel comfortable riding the train late at night. So I?m asking to please take into consideration that most people who work late shifts ride this bus. Please don?t stop this service at an early time.

Comment: Riders on the B35 won?t have LTD Stop Service Anymore with the Proposed B55 Crosstown. It is better for the B35 to be an SBS Route to JFK Airport starting from the 36th St D, N, and R lines the B70 would then replace service on 39th St south of 4th Ave. The B35 SBS would be a better proposal than the B55 as that code could be used for a new route along Fort Hamilton Pkwy to serve the Maimonides Medical Center. The B55 route would start from Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center via Clarkson to V.A Hospital via Fort Hamilton Pkwy giving riders more options. The B70 route would take over the current B8 route to Bay Ridge 95th St to where the B8 bus would be cut back to V.A Hospital. The B16 route would now be straightened along 13th and 14th Ave until 86th St instead of 60th St as the Fort Hamilton Pkwy Corridor would be served by the B55. Considering an extension further east the route could stretch along Linden Blvd Instead of Clarkson reducing Turns, and delays. It would continue along Linden Blvd until Rockaway Ave where it would turn south to Rockaway Pkwy L Station in Canarsie. The B16 would now be a Limited Route as a result of this change but keep stops to where riders can change to the proposed B35 SBS to JFK Airport. B15 Service to JFK should be kept instead of Eliminated as riders of North Brooklyn use that route to get to the Airport. To Conclude B15 Service should be converted to LTD Stop Service B16: LTD From Canarsie Rockaway Pkwy Sta to Bay Ridge Shore Rd via Linden Blvd and 13th/14th Aves local stops served by B64 on 13th Ave up to Bay Ridge Ave B35 SBS: Sunset Park 36th St Sta to JFK Airport via Church B55: Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center to V.A Hospital via Fort Hamilton Pkwy B70 Sunset Park 1st Ave to Bay Ridge 95th St Sta

Comment: Extend B37 to the Fulton Landing and have it operate at all times as a LIMITED. The B38 should be a LIMITED route. The B103 should be an XT route operating between Downtown Brooklyn and Gateway Mall. The B5 route will not be necessary. The B60 should operate between Williamsburg and Canarsie as a LIMITED route. The B67 should be extended along 16th Avenue to the New Utrecht Ave-62nd St station. The B69 should be rerouted back along Prospect Park West, 8th Avenue, and Union Street. The B71 route should be reinstated.

Comment: B4 In terms of stops, Bay Ridge residents are very vocal about bus service. It is a heavy residential and elderly neighbourhood. The distance between Narrows Ave and Ridge Blvd is a 7min walk(0.3mi). In residential areas in particular, removing bus stops is the WRONG SOLUTION. As a reminder, BUSES DO NOT STOP AT ALL BUS STOPS IF NO ONE IS THERE NOR WANTS TO GET OFF. I do not think keeping the residential bus stops will marginally impact riders and slow down buses by much. As I mention again below, keeping residential bus stops is just a courtesy for riders and residents. Buses do not have to stop there all the time. I hope this is clear. Also, a deeper analysis has to be conducted to determine all of the associated impacts and concerns with removing bus stops in the neighbourhood of Dyker Heights. Moree specifically at Bay Ridge Parkway and 7th&11th Aves. From my personal experience, the B4 bus stop at Ave Z and E15th St is a crowded one. Lots of people get off and on. Keeping this stop ables to better even out distribution around the Sheepshead Bay subway station.(Voorhies Ave and E14th St, E14th St and Sheepshead Bay Rd and Ave Z and E15th St). Finally, please DO NOT remove the westbound stop on Sheepshead Bay Rd and Emmons Ave. You have left it in the eastbound direction. A lot of residents of Sheepshead Bay and nearby Manhattan Beach via the Ocean Ave pedestrian bridge use this stop to get to Brighton Beach and Bay Ridge. Also a lot of school kids frequent this stop. Especially because you plan on removing the bus stop on Emmons Ave and E16th St as well. Please reconsider this. Look out for part 5

Comment: B6 The Rockaway Parkway and Glenwood Rd bus stop distributes out rider levels from overcrowding at the L train station, however I am not opposed to removing this stop. Switching the B6 routing along Shore Parkway to the B82 is fine although I would recommend not implementing this. Read down further for an explanation as to why. I would recommend keeping the stop on Bay Parkway and W10th St/Bay Ridge Ave to provide alternative access to the Bay Pkwy. N train station. B6-LTD In my comment above on the B6 local routing, I am okay with keeping the B6LTD bus service along Ave H instead of Glenwood Rd between Bedford Ave and Albany Ave. The B6 LTD is a limited bus, so keeping a direct routing is important to speed up travel times. However, continuing to run the B6 local along Glenwood Ave between Bedford and Albany Aves., retains local service for the residents of East Flatbush. This is important. Travel times are not as much of a concern as connectivity and connections are with local buses, because their purpose is to provide neighbourhood residents convenient, reliable and accessible service. The bus will be slower, hence a local. For faster and direct service, riders can use the B6 LTD along Ave H. I feel that this provides more options for riders and doesn?t make everyone?s trip slower etc. Connections are a very important factor in bus network redesigns. Please consider this. I would not remove the B6LTD bus stops on Glenwood Rd and E100th, E 102nd St and E103rd and E108th Sts. B8 I would keep the B8 bus stop on 18th Ave and 53rd St to connect to my nearby proposed IBX train station at 18th Ave to serve Mapleton. If the station is not needed, the stop can be removed. I would keep the B8 bus stop on Beverley Rd and E57th St as it provides access to the nearby It Takes A Village Academy, Samuel J. Tilden Educational Campus, Swim4Life and K629 Cultural Academy for the Arts and Sciences. B11 For the B11 bus, 56th St is fine if it doesn't slow the route down much. 52nd St appears to be wider and less trafficked. I would recommend keeping the B11 bus running overnight to provide continual service to and from Maimonides Medical Center and Calvary Hospital/Lutheran Medical Center/NYU Langone Hospital Brooklyn. Buses can run every 40min between 12am-2am and every 60min between 2am and 4:00am. B11 buses would then follow their normal frequency. Look out for part 9

Comment: B5-LTD The new B5LTD route is fine. I would suggest an alternative routing through Canarsie, East New York and Spring Creek. Instead of taking the about 20min 3.6mi route along Glenwood Rd, Cozine Ave, Flatlands Ave, Fountain Ave, Vandalia Ave and Erskine St, I propose the B5LTD travelling via the Belt Parkway with a possible stop in Starrett City at Pennsylvania Ave if feasible. Following Starrett City, the proposed B5LTD will follow the routing of the existing B83 bus. This provides more options and is about 5-8 min faster. I propose LTD service along Rockaway Parkway with stops at Rockaway Parkway and Flatlands Ave, Ave M, Seaview Ave and Shore Parkway. Following this, the proposed B5LTD bus will travel via the Belt Parkway from exit 13 to exit 15. It can make an added stop at exit 14 at Pennsylvania Ave and Shirley Chisholm State Park if feasible and current ridership levels warrant it. Then, the proposed B5 LTD bus will make existing B83 bus stops at Gateway Drive and Erskine St and Gateway Center Terminal. I feel that this would provide new options for riders. I also recommend rerouting the proposed B5-LTD bus off of Glenwood Rd/Flatlands Av between 7:15am and 11pm Mon-Sun and onto Rockaway Pkwy, Av D, Foster Av and Kings Hwy to serve the Brooklyn Terminal Market and Canarsie Plaza. Service would end at 12am on Saturdays and can be decreased to end instead at 11pm or earlier based upon (community input/opposition). Proposed B5-LTD buses would stop at Rockaway Pkwy and Glenwood Rd, Rockaway Pkwy and Foster Av, Av D and Remsen Av for Canarsie Plaza and the B17/proposed B76 bus, Foster Av and E87th St for the Brooklyn Terminal Market, Foster Av and Ralph Av for the B47 and to connect to the IBX(providing a direct bus service to Canarsie and Spring Creek from the IBX Ralph Av station), Kings Hwy and Glenwood Rd for the B7 bus and Target/Five Below and for the B46 on Utica Av and Av H and Albany Av for the B6, B6-LTD and the proposed B103-LTD. Proposed B5-LTD buses would then resume their regular proposed routing, (paralleling the B6/B6-LTD bus). Look out for part 6

Comment: For the B13 bus, I would prefer it if no stops were removed. however if stops must be removed, the following stops ALONG THE CURRENT ROUTING can be removed. Stops to be removed: -Fountain Av and Flatlands Av -Crescent St and Flatlands Av -Crescent St and Wortman Av -Stanley Ave and Autumn Ave -Postal Facility Rd and Brooklyn General Mail Facility. (B13 buses would indirectly serve the Brooklyn General Mail Facility at Stanley Ave and Sheridan Av until after 10:30PM when they would turn into the Gen. Mail Facility) -Eldert Ln and Loring Ave -Linden Blvd and Sheridan Av -Linden Blvd and Crescent St -Linden Blvd and Euclid Av -Euclid Av and Dumont St -Euclid Av and Belmont Ave -Sutter Av and Crescent St -Crescent St and Glenmore Av -Euclid Av and Glenmore Av -Crescent St and McKinley Av -Crescent St and Weldon St -Crescent St and Etna St -Jamaica Av and Hemlock St -Cypress Hills St and Machpelah Cemetery -Cooper Av and 64th Ln -Cooper Av and 62nd St -62nd St and 75th Ave -61rst St and 75th Ave -Fresh Pond Rd and 70th Ave -Fresh Pond Rd and 68th Ave -67th Ave and 60th St -Putnam Ave and Fresh Pond Rd -Forest Av and Woodbine St -Gates Ave and Onderdonk Av -Gates Ave and St. Nicholas Ave -Wyckoff Av and Menahan St -Wyckoff Av and Bleecker St -Wyckoff Av and Grove St. I am keeping the stop at Eldert Ln. and Linden Blvd and Linden Blvd and Eldert Ln. becuase Linden Blvd is a very dangerous road to cross, so having a bus stop on both sides of NY rt 27(linden Blvd) is a courtesy to riders so that they don?t have to cross 8 lanes of traffic. Total number of stops, including stops removed in both directions is 42 including the Brooklyn Gen. Mail Facility. (If a stop is removed in both directions, it counts as 2 stops). B14 The B14 bus rerouting will remove convenient crosstown East New York, Brownsville and Crown Heights service to Lindenwood and the Hole. I do not find that the reroute of the proposed B14 bus to directly serve Euclid Ave is needed. It adds 3 unnecessary turns. It is only a 4 min walk from the Sutter Ave and Euclid Ave bus stop to the Euclid Ave A/C subway station along Pitkin Ave. Look out for part 12.

Comment: Please see below in detail my complete thoughts and feedback on the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Draft Plan B2/B100 Please do not discontinue the B2 bus. It may seem like a useless route, however it is a useful DIRECT connector(albeit a bit short)between the Kings Highway B and Q train station and Kings Plaza. Until the Utica and Flatbush Ave subway extensions are complete(4 train to Kings Plaza and/or Floyd Bennett Field and the 5 train to Kings Plaza and/or Floyd Bennett Field via Flatbush Ave), the B2 bus should remain. The B2 bus is an important bus route for the residents of Marine Park, Homecrest and Madison. The frequency can remain the same at 15min during rush hours and 20min during off-peak. I propose 30min headways and 20 or 15min peak service. Also, the walk is a little on the longer side for people who need to quickly and effectively get to Kings Plaza. (50min 2.4mi). The walk from the B100 bus is 11min or 0.5mi. A walk most people wouldn't want to make. Especially on the heavily congested Flatbush Ave. The bus route is also for residents as well. Marine Park, Homecrest and Madison riders can quickly get to Kings Plaza for Sunday morning shopping without having to walk up or down to Fillmore Ave and then make the 11min walk each way. (22min roundtrip). Accounting to at most 1.5mi of JUST walking. Elderly people wouldn't be that inclined to do this just to shop. Carrying home heavy bags, an added load. Especially during inclement weather. If after a month or year of study and ridership metrics review, it is found to be a heavily underutilised bus route, then and ONLY then a case can be made to discontinue the service. I would recommend contacting Marine Park, Homecrest and Madison residents as well as Old Mill Basin residents to see what their views are on this topic. Also, the B100 bus routing swap from Quentin Rd to Ave R should NOT be implemented. It is an important bus route connecting students to James Madison High School. An article expressing similar views from the residents of Homecrest, Marine Park and Madison-https://canarsiecourier.com/mta-proposes-to-change-b-bus-route-cut-b-line-p8930-199.htm Look out for part 2.

Comment: Part 2 B100 I would leave the B100 routing unchanged. The B2 would not be discontinued(as discussed above). The B100 is an essential bus route connecting Mill Basin to Kings Highway and Midwood through Marine Park. The B100 has good stop spacing along Quentin Rd. The proposed B100 bus would add a stop on Ocean Av and would no longer serve the busy James Madison High School. The B100 bus stops on Filmore Av and E32nd/ E37th/Coleman Sts should not be removed. It provides convenient access to the Marine Park tennis courts and the B2 bus(which I propose to NOT be removed. More details above) as well as P.S. 207 Elizabeth G. Leary. I would leave the B100 bus stop on E66th St and Strickland Av and Mayfair Dr. N. B3 The B3 bus stop at 25th Ave and Bath Ave I think should remain. The stops planned to be removed in Gravesend at Ave U and W11th, W9th St, E.4thSt and E 8th St, should be first confirmed by residents that they are okay with this change. The B3 bus can be extended to its old 2010 terminus of E73rd St and Av X (pending community input/opposition) from Bergen Beach and Georgetown residents. I would propose stops at E73rd St and Av V, Av W and Av X. In the westbound direction, buses can follow either E74th St or Bergen Av. (pending community input/opposition.) I propose westbound stops at either E74th St and Av W, Av V and Av U and E73rd St(an infill stop. It can either be included or not) or Av X and Royce St(an infill stop. It can either be included or not), Bergen Av and Av W to serve the McGuire Fields in Paerdegat Basin Park, Bergen Av and Av V(an infill stop. It can either be included or not), Bergen Av and Av U to serve Ecology Park and the Hudson River Yacht Club and Av U and E73rd St(an infill stop. It can either be included or not).

Comment: B4 The B4 bus routing should NOT CHANGE. It provides residents of Sheepshead Bay in particular with a direct and fast connection to Coney Island Hospital. Severing this vital connection is foolish. Also, Neptune Ave is already served by the B36 bus. I do not think duplicate bus service is the best alternative. Also, even though rerouting the B4 bus to travel via Neptune/Stillwell Aves reduces turns from 5 to 1, which in theory is good, Neptune Ave gets heavily congested during rush hours. The nearby Ave Z and Shell Rd are much less travelled, so during the heart of rush hour, rerouting the B4 bus to follow its current routing, could actually in practice, speed up travel times. At least rerouting the B4 bus to follow its current routing during rush hours and weekends is the bare minimum that is acceptable. As a reminder, BUSES DO NOT STOP AT ALL BUS STOPS IF NO ONE IS THERE NOR WANTS TO GET OFF, so the argument that removing them will speed up bus speeds is unfounded. Data from the Bronx bus network redesign has shown that the speeds of buses are pretty much the same, because traffic patterns are the same. This shows that bus stop removal and or consolidation of bus stops, may not be the best solution to improving bus speeds. Traffic signal priority and dedicated ENFORCED bus lanes would help much more. Look back to the M14A/D SBS bus. The 14th St busway has really sped up travel time with no stops along 14th St, at least, removed. Riders would be most displeased with a rerouted bus route that ends up slowing down their commute. Please rethink this proposal. Look out for part 4

Comment: B5 Infill stops can be added where needed at Rockaway Pkwy and Av D, Foster Av and E83rd St, Kings Hwy and Av H to more directly connect to the B46-SBS and B46 and wherever else based upon (ridership wants/needs). Proposed B5-LTD buses can also run westbound along E96th St to Av D instead of Rockaway Pkwy or Foster Av(east of Remsen Av) as an alternate routing to reduce turns and slowdowns along the congested Rockaway Pkwy. Associated stops would be added at E96th St and Conklin Av, E96th St and Foster Av and Foster Av and Remsen Av. Buses would operate in the eastbound direction only along Rockaway Pkwy. B84 In this proposed reroute of the B5 LTD, I would have the B84 bus still running. The B84 bus is a vital connector that brings riders from East NY, Queens and the 3 train directly to Spring Creek, the Gateway Center and Shirley Chisholm State Park. Until the 3 train extension to Spring Creek is built through Livonia Yard( plus either ending at Stanley Ave or extended to Flatlands Ave), the B84 bus should continue to run. It provides supplemental service. With this change, an extra transfer is required. The 3 train to Junius St, connect to the L train at Livonia Ave, wait for the L train(however long that may be), get off at Rockaway Parkway and then finally wait for the B5LTD bus. This could unnecessarily add at least an extra 30min or more of travel time including wait times. The other alternative is to take the B83 bus from Pennsylvania Ave. However, the route is longer as it travels through East NY and Starrett City instead of directly serving the Gateway Center. The B83 bus takes 25 min whereas the B84 takes half of that time or 9-12min. Much faster. Providing more options for riders is useful and convenient. Also, the B5LTD doesn't follow the B84 routing as is stated in the draft plan. It will not travel on Fountain Ave and Seaview Ave. The stop at Fountain Ave and Seaview will be non-existent under this draft plan. This stop is very useful for accessing Shirley Chisholm State Park's Fountain Ave entrance. Please reconsider this. Look out for part 7

Comment: B84 The B84 bus DOES NOT HAVE LOW RIDERSHIP. Many people use this bus as a fast option to get between the 3 train and the Gateway Center without travelling on a circuitous neighbourhood routing that is good for residents of the area to access the Gateway Mall, but is in turn, slower for visitors. If you must remove bus stops, I propose for 2 out of the 12 stops to be removed in both directions. 1 at Ashford St and Wortman Av and the other at Flatlands Ave and Essex St. It will not help service to remove the B84 bus. I also propose for the B84 bus service schedule to change slightly. Service would end on weekdays at 10:30PM instead and service would begin at 8AM on weekends. Weekend service would also end at 11:15PM on Saturdays and 10:15PM on Sundays. However, after 10PM on Saturdays only, there would be two buses for the evening. One at 10:45PM and the last one at 11:15PM. On Sunday, following 8:30PM, buses would operate every 45min with the last bus leaving at 10:15PM. This is to provide more service for shoppers. B6 The B6 routing shouldn?t change on Glenwood Rd. The B6 is the only bus route that serves the Glenwood Rd corridor west of Albany Ave for the most part. There are a lot of shops along Glenwood Rd as well as St. Vincent Ferrer Church. The Ave H corridor is more residential and is not directly close to the shops and stores along Glenwood Ave. Also, the Glenwood Rd corridor provides local service for Ave. H riders instead of riding the B103LTD with wider stop spacing. With the B6 bus running on Glenwood Rd, if you must remove stops, Glenwood Rd and E34th and E38th Sts can be removed. I wouldn?t remove the stop on Flatlands Ave and E84th St because it provides convenient access to the Great Legacy Auto School, Canarsie Animal Hospital, Exxon Mobil gas station, BH Auto Group Inc., Eglise Laverite, Square Pharmacy and the Bollla Market store. The stop on E88th St however, can be removed. I would not remove the stop on Glenwood Rd and E102nd St as it provides more service and options for riders in Canarsie and near E105th St without having to make a transfer from the B82 bus at the Rockaway Park L train subway station. Look out for part 8.

Comment: B12 I would not remove the B12 bus stop on East New York Ave and Rockaway Parkway and Portal St. it provides convenient access to the nearby Lincoln Terrace/ Arthur S. Somers Park, the Lincoln Terrace Park Tennis Courts and PS 189 The Bilingual Center. It is close to the Pioneer Supermarket of Brownsville and serves busy Rockaway Parkway. It also removes the 7min walk between Ralph Ave and E 94th St. B13 The new B13 bus routing is more direct, but I am not sure if this is the best option. The B13 bus is very useful for residents of Fresh Pond, Ridgewood and Glenwood to get to Brooklyn and Highland Park. Also Vermont Pl. is more congested than the nearby Cypress Hills St. because of the main parking lot for access to Highland Park. Buses would travel faster along Cypress Hills St, although running buses along Vermont Pl provides more options for riders and is closer to Highland Park?s athletic fields and lawns. Potentially, two routes could be run. The B13 unchanged and the B13+ SBS. The proposed B13 + Select SBS would run from Gateway Center Mall at Gateway Center Terminal and Gateway Dr. Service along the B13SBS would make stops to Bushwick at Seaview Ave/Erskine St, Fountain Ave and Vandalia Ave, Euclid Ave and Linden Blvd(NY State Route 27), Euclid Ave and Sutter Ave is an infill stop(it can either be included or not), Crescent St and Pitkin Ave to connect with the A and C trains, Crescent St and Liberty Ave is another infill station(it can either be included or not), Crescent St and Atlantic Ave, Crescent St and Fulton St to connect with the J and Z trains, Jamaica Ave and Cypress Hills St, Jamaica Ave and Highland Blvd/Norwood Ave is an infill station(it can either be included or not), Vermont Place and Highland Park Greenway, Vermont Pl and Cypress Ave is another infill station(it can either be included or not), Cypress Ave and Cooper Ave, Cypress Ave and Myrtle Ave, Cypress Ave and Gates Ave, Gates Ave and Wyckoff Ave to connect with the M and L trains and the final stop of Wyckoff Ave and Stanhope St for Dekalb Ave, the L train and the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. This is to reduce terminal congestion. Total number of stops, 13. Look out for part 10.

Comment: Buses would turn around using Stockholm St. A stop could be added in the southbound direction at Seneca Ave and Palmetto St, although this may be proven to be difficult due to added turns. Also, buses can use Hemlock St between Jamaica Ave and Atlantic Ave to reduce congestion. If so, a new stop would be added at Hemlock St and Fulton St to connect with the J/Z at Crescent St. The next southbound bus stop would be Euclid Ave and Liberty Ave. Followed by Euclid Ave and Pitkin Ave for the A/C trains. Following this, all stops remain the same. I think Brooklyn and Queens riders would be most pleased with this change. Providing fast and convenient intra and inter-borough bus service in advance of the Interboro Express. B13+SBS service would operate 7 days a week unlike the B82SBS. B13+SBS would run from 5am-10:30pm weekdays and from 6:30am-10:30pm weekends. B13+SBS buses would operate every 10min and every 5min between 6:30am-9am and 3:30-7pm on weekdays. After 8:30pm on weekdays and weekends, B13+SBS bus service will be reduced to run every 20min. After 10pm, the next bus will be the last bus at 10:30pm. B13 local service will continue to operate 24/7 under my proposal. The B13 bus will operate every 8 min during weekdays and weekends and every 6 min during weekday peak hours. B13 bus service will operate every 15 min between 8:30-10:30PM and every 20min after 10:30PM on weekdays and every 25min after 10:30PM on weekends. B13 buses would operate every 40min between 12am and 4am and every 30min between 4am and 6am. Look out for part 11.

Comment: B20/B7 I support running B7 service to Ridgewood. Instituting a new north-south connection and providing new north-south connection to residents of Liberty Park in particular. I propose to still have B20 buses run to Ridgewood though. At the very least during weekday peak hours between 5:45am-10am and from 2:15-9PM. Proposed B20 Rush frequencies and service spans can be adjusted (pending community input/opposition). This retains bus service for Brooklyn General Mail Facility workers and schoolchildren coming from or going to Bushwick or Ridgewood. The proposed B7 route will NOT follow the existing B20 bus routing and will skip 22 different schools. (4 along the proposed B7 bus route). (Bushwick Ascend Middle School Charter School, P.S./I.S. 045 Horace E. Greene School, Public School 45, P.S. 068 Cambridge, Achievement First Ujima High School, W. H. Maxwell Career and Technical Education High School, PS 149 Annex @ Danny Kaye School, Thomas Jefferson High School, K507 Performing Arts and Technology High School, P.S. 013 Roberto Clemente, P.S. 190 Sheffield, P.S. 36, P.S. 213 The New Lots School, Pathways to Graduation School, P.S. 306 The Ethan Allen School, Achievement First Aspire Middle School Charter School, G Gershwin Junior High School, Imagine Me Leadership Charter School, P.S. 273 Wortman, Friends of Crown Heights Educational Centers, P.S. 202 Ernest S. Jenkyns and P.S. 224 Hale A. Woodruff). 17 of these schools are along or close to the proposed B20 Rush bus route, but there would be no direct or convenient service to school kids living in Bushwick or Ridgewood. This gap isn?t okay for Brooklyn General Mail Facility workers, schoolchildren and other workers who use the B20 bus route to get from Bushwick/Ridgewood to get to their jobs, eastern queens(via a transfer at Broadway Junction), etc. Look out for part 15

Comment: B62 DO NOT discontinue B62 bus service along Kent/Wythe Aves. It is an essential route connecting South Williamsburg residents to North Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn and Greenpoint among other neighbourhoods. It conveniently serves the NYC Ferry East River route. (A 6min walk). The proposed B62 rerouting would turn a 6min walk into as long as a 26min round trip walk. That is unacceptable. It serves the waterfront of South Williamsburg. It also serves the Roberto Clemente Ballfield, Schaefer Landing, Jacob?s Ladder playground, Epiphany Playground, the Y.M. & Y.W.H.A. of Williamsburg, Inc. preschool, Kent Village housing, Taylor-Wythe houses, Bedford Gardens housing, Central Market, Williamsburg Montessori Elementary School, Wallabout Channel, the Naval Cemetery Landscape park, the Taylor Wythe Community Center and multiple stores, bakeries and the Khal Beis Yisroel Derish Shul Orthodox Synagogue as well as the north end of the Navy Yard also served by the B67 bus,(but not the proposed B67 bus, which I oppose). With this change, South Williamsburg would no longer have convenient waterfront access bus service. That is not okay especially as New York is trying to reclaim its waterfront and make it more accessible to people. A 26min round trip walk does not achieve this. Also, the B67 bus will not run to its present terminus of Wythe Av and Division St and the Navy Yard. There will be NO South Williamsburg waterfront bus service. Please reconsider this. The point of a bus route is to serve its residents. NOT to bypass them. That is what the subway and SBS buses are for. I also do not feel that Rutledge St is the best street for buses. Cars are frequently double-parked and there are trucks offloading for deliveries and other purposes. In particular at the One Stop Kosher Supermarket between Wythe and Bedford Aves and the Factory NYC and Philips Bedding Inc. It is also a narrower one-way street. I feel that this would unnecessarily slow buses. Even more than making extra turns onto wider streets. Buses would be much quicker during late nights when fewer people would get on or off. I do not think that this is the best rerouting decision. Please reconsider this. Look out for part 29.

Comment: B48/B69 The B69 routing should NOT change. The B48 bus better serves Greenpoint.(Read up for more details). It provides Vanderbilt Av riders direct service to Downtown Brooklyn. I would first confirm with Kensington residents that they are okay with their bus route being shortened. Also, with this change, Greenpoint riders would NO longer have OVERNIGHT bus service along Lorimer/Nassau Sts and along Franklin/Classon Aves(in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights and Clinton Hill). This isn?t okay. Leave the B48 bus in Greenpoint and running overnight. B69 buses can continue to end at midnight ONLY IF they run to their present terminus at Sand St and Pearl St. North-south overnight connections are important. The B48 bus connects to more neighbourhoods and better serves East Brooklyn. I would leave the B69 bus stop on Vanderbilt Av at Plaza St E to better serve Grand Army Plaza. Keep Vanderbilt Av and Prospect Pl/St. Marks Av. It provides service to Park Slope Ophthalmology LLC, Lightbridge Academy, Unnameable Books, Church of God Victory and Public School 9 The Sarah Smith Garnet School. B49 The B49 bus routing should NOT be rerouted to Coney Island from Manhattan Beach. It is a vital and crowded route providing service along Ocean/Bedford Aves to Sheepshead Bay and Manhattan Beach. The B49 bus provides riders of Sheepshead Bay direct access to Manhattan Beach. Under the draft plan, you would have to go to Brighton Beach and take the proposed B68 or the B1 bus. It would take at the very least 19 min(NOT INCLUDING CONNECTIONS, WAIT TIMES, TRANSFERS OR TRAFFIC) to get between Ave Z and Oriental Blvd and Mackenzie St. This is almost double the time it would take the B49 bus today.(10min). Walking is 1.4 miles and is 27min. Factoring in wait times and traffic, a 10min bus ride today could take you easily 30 min or more. This is unacceptable. Currently, the configuration is excellent. Riders bound north and to Sheepshead Bay can take the B49, riders bound west and to Brighton Beach, can take the B1 bus. This PREVENTS additional overcrowding on multiple bus routes and retains options for riders. Please leave the southern B49 bus routing unchanged. The riders and customers served along the B49 bus route aren?t interested in accessing Coney Island and riders on the B68 bus aren?t interested in accessing Manhattan Beach. The current routing is best served for each community. Brooklyn council members and CB 13 also oppose this terminal swap. 23

Comment: B15 I would not remove the B15 bus from Troy/Lewis Aves/Marcus Garvey Blvd because it provides closer convenient service to the nearby Utica Ave express station on the A/C trains and the B46SBS. The B15 bus currently crosses Utica Ave at a non-SBS stop, so retaining the close and convenient connection to a vital north-south bus route is important. Otherwise, riders would have to walk up to an additional 12min each way if going to the Eastern parkway or Fulton St stop. Also, I don?t understand the reasoning behind putting two bus routes along the same corridor. I see this as adding congestion and increasing potential delays. Please consider this. I am not opposed to extending the B15 bus to connect with the L train and the B57/B60 buses. I would remove the B15 bus stop at Linden Blvd and Crescent St and keep the bus stop at Linden Blvd and Autumn Ave in both directions. It is closer to the Brooklyn Scholars Charter School. I would also keep the stop at Eldert Ln and Linden Blvd for the reason I put above. So that riders do not have to cross 8 dangerous lanes of traffic rushing to their bus and potentially getting hit in the process. B16 I propose for the B16 bus to keep a straighter and more direct routing along Ft. Hamilton Parkway between 57th St and McDonald Av. Providing a new connection to the Maimonides Medical Center and (speeding up travel times and reducing turns). There is currently no north or southbound service to the hospital. (The closest is the B70 bus which does not serve as many neighbourhoods as the B16 nor is as useful for riders). Also 57th/56th Sts are less congested than 60th St and provide more options for riders instead of having duplicate bus service along 60th St. I would keep the B16 bus stop at 60th St (in both directions)to provide a connection to the B9 bus. New stops along Ft. Hamilton Parkway would be placed at 59th St, 54th St, 52nd St, 50th St(mid-block with a shelter), 48th/49th Sts for Maimonides Hospital(with a shelter)(49th St if feasible with a shelter), 45th/43rd Sts for the D train at Ft. Hamilton Pkwy at the current B110 bus stop, 41rst/42nd Sts, 39th St for the B35 bus, 36/37th Sts(are infill stops. They can either be included or not), Chester Av and Caton Av and McDonald Av where proposed B16 buses would resume their normal routing and stops. Look out for part 13.

Comment: B60/B66 If B60 rush buses were to make local stops between the Williamsburg Bridge Bus Plaza and Union Av, buses would make stops along with the proposed B66 bus in the westbound direction at Meserole St and Union Av to connect with the G train at Broadway, S4th St and Hooper St to connect with the J and M trains at Hewes St, S4th St and Rodney St and then Broadway and Marcy Av and the Williamsburg Bridge Bus Plaza. In the eastbound direction, B66 and B60 rush buses would make stops at Broadway and Marcy Av, S5th St and Rodney St, S5th St and Hooper St to connect with the J and M trains at Hewes St and S5th St and Montrose Ave to connect with the G train at Broadway. I would leave the stop on Wilson Av and Woodbine St to provide access to the Achievement First North Brooklyn Prep Middle School. I would leave the proposed B66 northbound service on Decatur St to avoid additional congestion with the proposed B7 bus and to provide more service. B60 rush buses would use Cooper Av. B61 I would NOT remove Downtown Brooklyn bound B61 service from the IKEA terminal at Beard St and Otsego St. It is a heavily utilised stop and useful for customers boarding the bus especially with heavy furniture etc. from IKEA that is difficult to lug a few blocks. Keeping this stop is a courtesy to riders carrying heavy items. Please consider this. The proposed B81 bus that is proposed to replace the southern portion of the B61 bus in South Slope and Windsor Terrace will NOT operate 24 hours like the B61 does and does not serve 20th St/19th St west of Prospect Park West and 8th Ave. I am okay with the B61 shortening to the 15th St-Prospect Park station(Bartel-Pritchard Sq), but would still run B61 bus service to 20th St/8th Av and 19th St overnight when the B81 bus is not running. This is important for Windsor Terrace and South Slope residents. Look out for part 27.

Comment: B61 I would leave the B61 bus stop on Van Dyke St and Richards St for the Redhook Gospel Tabernacle Church. (If Red Hook residents are okay with this stop being removed, I am okay with it). DO NOT remove the B61 bus stop at Beard St and Van Brunt St. It proivdes convenient access to the Waterfront Museum, Red Hook trolley, the Brooklyn Crab, numerous shops along Van Brunt St, Scanlan Glass, art galleries and the Pier 44 Waterfront Garden. It is a heavily utilised stop from my personal experience. I would leave the B61 bus stops on Van Brunt St and Sullivan and Verona Sts because there are a lot of elderly residents in Red Hook that have difficulty walking long blocks. B62 I am not opposed to switching B62 and B57 service from Park Av to Flushing Av, but feel that since the B57 bus serves the Flushing Av corridor, it might be better to leave it on Flushing Av for the entirety of its route rather than reroute it in Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and Downtown Brooklyn. Also the proposed B62 LTD bus might be slowed down slightly by making a turn onto Flushing Av in the southbound direction in particular. The current routing of the B62 bus runs along Williamsburg St W which turns into Park Ave. (No turn required). This would certainly speed up travel times and reduces turns! (Also the proposed B62 bus stop on Bedford Av and Taylor St is a 15MIN WALK from the previous stop on Classon Av and Flushing Av. This is NOT within walking distance. It is almost a 1mile walk between bus stops. This is not limited bus stop spacing. This is select bus service spacing. At least a stop at Bedford Av and Hewes St would be good.(If the B62 proposed routing is unchanged in South Williamsburg, which I am opposed to). Even adding one at Rutledge and Bedford at the corner or at the B110 bus stop would be good. DO NOT make riders walk 15min for their bus. Please). I would leave the eastbound stop at Flushing Av and Steuben St to provide access to the Steuben playground. However, if residents of nearby South Williamsburg and Clinton Hill are okay with removing this stop, I am fine with it. Look out for part 28.

Comment: B62 I would remove the B62 bus stop on Kent Av and Williamsburg St E, Williamsburg St W and Kent Av, Havermeyer St and Division (pending community input/opposition), Bedford Av and Broadway(pending community input opposition), Bedford Av and S 2nd St(pending community input/opposition), Bedford Av and N 5th St(pending community input/opposition), Bedford Av and N 9th St(although it is close and provides access to Bushwick Inlet Park(pending community input/opposition).(The proposed B53 will skip this stop as well). Do NOT skip N 9th St. Especially on Kent Av in particular. Keep the B32 bus please. If a stop must be removed, Driggs Av and N 9th St I am okay with removing. Only after (pending community input/opposition). Driggs Av and S 2nd St and Driggs Av and Broadway can be removed (pending community input/opposition). I would keep the stop on Driggs Av and N 4th St to serve Metropolitan Ave. I would leave the stop on Bedford Av and Lorimer St as it is closer to McCarren Park and provides more convenient park access. The stop on Nassau Av and Manhattan Av can still be kept though to connect to the B43 bus. I would NOT remove the stop on 11th St and Jackson Av.(It is being kept in the northbound direction). It is a half-mile walk from the previous proposed stop on 21rst St and 44th Dr. The next proposed stop following is McGuinness Blvd and Freeman St is a 14min walk over the Pulaski Bridge. 22min is too far to walk between stops. Do NOT remove this crucial Hunters Point/Long Island City bus stop. I would keep the B62 bus stop on Jay St and Willoughby St as it is closer to the accessible entrance to the Jay St-Metro Tech(Lawrence St) complex. I would leave the B62 bus terminus on Boreum Pl at State St as it appears to be less crowded/congested with the B57, proposed B27, B45(if the terminal is not changed) and B61 buses. Look out for part 30.

Comment: B60/B66 The B60 bus route is good and doesn?t necessarily need to be shortened and replaced with the B66 bus, however I am okay with running weekday peak and weekend service to the Williamsburg Bridge Bus Plaza to provide additional service and retain a Williamsburg-Bushwick-Brownsville-Canarsie connection. B60 buses would terminate at Broadway Junction after 12:30am on weekdays and 1 am on weekends stopping at the B25 bus stop at Fulton St and Rockaway Av. I would adjust schedules so that B66 buses are timed with B60 bus departures to ensure a relatively seamless transfer between the two proposed routes so that riders don?t have to wait another 20 or 30min+ for their next bus. I would propose for the B60 bus to operate as a rush route between Rockaway Ave and Fulton St and Union Ave or the Williamsburg Bridge Bus Plaza. B60 buses would make rush stops at Rockaway Av and Fulton St, Rockaway Av and Broadway to connect with the J/Z trains at Chauncey St station, Wilson Av and Decatur St/Cooper Av to connect to the L train and future IBX station at Wilson Av, Wilson Av and Halsey St to connect to the proposed B26 rush bus and the L train, Wilson Av and Gates Ave to connect to the B52 bus, Wilson Av and Himrod St to connect to the B54 bus and the M train at Knickerbocker Av, Wilson Av and Dekalb Av to connect to the B38 and B28 rush buses, Wilson Av and Flushing Ave to connect to the proposed B57LTD, Johnson Av and Bushwick Ave to connect with the L train at Montrose Ave and the proposed B15 bus, Graham Av and Johnson/Montrose Av to connect to the B43 bus, Meserole St/Montrose Av and Lorimer St to connect to the B48 bus, Broadway and Marcy Av to connect with the J/Z and M trains and the B24, B46, Q54 and the proposed Q68 bus and the final stop at the Williamsburg Bridge Bus Plaza to connect to the B39, B44, B44SBS, and the Q59 bus. 13 rush stops(including Fulton St). Look out for part 26.

Comment: Part 41 is a continuation from part 40-03754925. Q59 I would first confirm with Williamsburg residents to see if they are okay with removing a critical Brooklyn-Queens crosstown route from the waterfront and Metropolitan Av. This rerouting would remove the direct connection to the G and L trains at Metropolitan Av-Lorimer St station and the B24 or proposed Q68 bus. With this change, East Williamsburg, Maspeth and Rego Park riders would no longer have a direct ride to the waterfront/East River. Riders would have to transfer at the Williamsburg Bridge Bus Plaza or walk 17min. This is not ideal. Please reconsider this. Also with this change, there would NO LONGER be a bus serving the waterfront 24 HOURS a day. The B32 and the proposed B53 bus do not run overnight. The proposed B62-LTD bus runs infrequently overnight. The Q59 bus stop on Broadway and Kent Av can be removed. The stop on Kent Av and S6/S5th Sts can become night-time only stops(pending community input/opposition). I would move the Q59 bus stop on Metropolitan Av at Rodney St to Union Ave to provide a closer connection to the G and L trains at the Metropolitan Av-Lorimer St station, the B24/proposed Q68 and the B48 bus. I would leave the Q59 stop on Grand Av at the Queens Midtown Expressway/Borden Av to connect to the Q67/proposed Q39 bus. I am okay with removing the westbound Q59 bus stop on Broadway at Bedford Av(only after pending community input/opposition) to allow buses to arrive at their terminal of Roebling St quicker. Look out for part 42.

Comment: B16 Southbound B16 buses would stop at 58th St after 54th St. B16 buses would skip 54th St (southbound stop pending completed sidewalk construction). Buses would stop at 52nd and then 58th St(southbound only) until construction is completed. Following 58th St, proposed B16 buses would resume their regular route and stops. 9 additional stops(minus the infill stops). If riders want the B16 bus to directly serve the Church Av Subway station and can not tolerate a 4min to the nearest subway entrance at Albermarle Rd, B16 buses would travel along McDonald Av, Church Av and 36th St. (37th St/14th Av(in the northbound direction). Proposed B16 buses would make all proposed rerouted B16 bus stops plus 36th St and 12th Av(southbound) and 37th St and 13th Av(northbound). Existing service along 56/57th Sts and 13/14th Avs would be discontinued. Nearby service would be available on 16th Av with the proposed B23 bus(more info below). I would leave the southbound B16 bus stop on Shore Rd and 88th St. It serves Michelle Bailey, DDS Periodontist - Shore Road Dental and 8801 Shore Road Building Corporation. There are a lot of elderly residents here, so the stop is left as a courtesy to them and so that they don?t have to walk uphill from 91rst St. I would leave the B16 bus stop on 4th Av and 100th St to serve the NYU Lutheran Associates 4th Ave OB/GYN(Obstetrician-gynecologist), ProHEALTH Urgent Care of Fort Hamilton, Music Lessons of Bay Ridge John Paul Jones Park with the Fort Hamilton Cannon and the Dover Patrol Monument and the Last Stop Deli. It is the penultimate terminal stop, so removing it would do marginally nothing to speed up bus speeds. B16 buses would now run 24 hours a day to serve Maimonides Hospital. frequencies would remain the same. Proposed B16 buses would run every 50min between 12am and 4:30am 7 days a week. B17 I would not remove the B17 bus stop on Remsen Ave and Linden Blvd as a safety precaution. So that riders do not have to cross 12 lanes of traffic. I would not remove the B17 stop at Remsen Ave and Seaview Av as it provides convenient access to Canarsie Park and the Canarsie Park House. I don?t think the stop on Seaview Av and E91rst St should be removed because it provides convenient park-side access, however the stop on Remsen Ave and Seaview Av is more important. Look out for part 14.

Comment: B7/B20 The proposed B7 bus stops at P.S. 88 - The Seneca School but provides no connection for schoolchildren wanting to get to East NY, Broadway Junction and Spring Creek. The proposed B7 bus will also not serve the Halsey St L train station. I would leave the B7 bus stop on Saratoga Av and Sutter Av in both directions to serve P.S. 156 Waverly and Adult and Continuing Education. I would leave the B7 bus stop on East New York Av and Strauss St to serve the Interfaith Medical Center, the Marcus Garvey Tenant's Assoc. Garden and the Sunrise Postal Center. (I would add a B7 bus stop on Cooper Av at Central Av in both directions to serve P.S. 45 if the B20 bus doesn?t run along Decatur St and also(pending community input/opposition). This would give P.S. 45 students a new bus to access the Saratoga Av/Kings Hwy corridor and Midwood). I would move the proposed B7 bus stop on Cooper Av at Irving Av to Knickerbocker Av in both directions to provide closer service to the nearby P.S. /I.S. 384 Frances E. Carter, P.S. K053 and the Ultimate Gym Bushwick. I would keep the B7 bus stop in both directions on Kings Hwy at New York Av to provide closer access to Mount Sinai Brooklyn. (An injured person is less inclined to walk long distances out of pain even if that is only a few hundred feet). I would leave the B7 bus stop on Kings Hwy at E13th St to provide access to CityMD Midwood Urgent Care - Brooklyn. I would leave the B7 bus stop on Kings Hwy at E22nd St to provide access to P.S. 197 - The Kings Highway Academy, Brooklyn Pain Doctors, Mid City Dental Group, Kings Condominium and the Wyckoff-Bennett Homestead Landmark. I propose for B20 Rush stops north of Broadway Junction at: Broadway and Aberdeen/Cooper Sts, Decatur St and Evergreen St and Central/Wilson/Knickerbocker/Wyckoff/Cypress(to connect to the IBX) and Myrtle( to serve the USPS Ridgewood station) Avs, Fresh Pond Rd and Myrtle Av to serve the IBX, B13 and the proposed B7, Fresh Pond Rd and Catalpa Av, Putnam Av and Fresh Pond Rd to serve the M train, Q58, QM24/25/34 and the proposed Q98-SBS and Putnam Av and Fairview Av to serve the M train, Q39/proposed Q67 bus. 13 northbound stops.

Comment: B35/B55-SBS I would leave the B35 stop on 39th St and 6th Av. The blocks on 39th St are long and there is a hill on the approach to 6th Av. I would keep the B35 bus stop at Church Ave and Ralph Av to connect with the B47 bus. The B55SBS is a solid route. However, I propose terminating the B55SBS at 39th St and 1rst Av in Sunset Park with the B35 instead of at Church Ave and McDonald Ave. The B55SBS would operate to Sunset Park 7 days a week between the hours of 4:30am and 10pm on weekdays and 5am-10:30pm on weekends. Between 10/10:30pm and 4:30/5am, B55SBS buses would terminate at Church Ave and McDonald Ave. B35 buses would run to Sunset Park at all times. This is to provide residents and employees of Borough Park and Sunset Park direct SBS service to JFK airport and East NY. After Church Ave and McDonald Ave, B55SBS buses would stop at 39th St and 9th Av, 4th Av and 1rst Av only. Providing fast SBS service to east Brooklyn and JFK. Eastbound B55SBS service would start at 39th St and 2nd Av. If ridership levels warrant it and there is demand, infill stops can be added at 39th St and 13th Av and Ft. Hamilton Pkwy(to serve the proposed B11 and provide a connection via the B16 to Maimonides Hospital) in both directions. This truly makes the B55 SBS into a true east-west crosstown SBS. B36 Do not remove the B36 bus stop on W 5th St and Sea Breeze Ave and Avenue Z and E22nd St. There are a lot of elderly people in Brighton Beach, Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay and they can not afford nor are as able to walk long distances even if it is only 5min. It is important to cater to the elderly even if it means bus stops are closer together, because buses are meant to serve the communities the route runs through. Not all areas have the same people and so therefore, bus service and stop spacing has to be adjusted accordingly. B37 I propose to increase B37 frequencies to every 15min during weekday peak, every 20/25min during weekend mornings, every 20min during weekdays midday and every 25min during weekends midday and every 30min after 8:30PM all days. Look out for part 18,

Comment: B28/B38 Westbound the B28 bus would make rush stops at Metropolitan Ave and Starr St, Metropolitan Ave and Grandview Ave, Stanhope St and Grandview Ave, Stanhope St and Woodward Av, Seneca Ave and Dekalb Ave, Dekalb Ave and Wyckoff Ave, Dekalb Ave and Wilson Av, Dekalb Ave and Myrtle Ave, Dekalb Ave and Broadway, Dekalb Ave and Malcom X Blvd, Dekalb Ave and Marcus Garvey Blvd, Dekalb Ave and Nostrand Ave, Dekalb Ave and Classon Ave, Dekalb Ave and Vanderbilt Ave, Dekalb Ave and Ft. Greene Pl, Dekalb Ave and Flatbush Ave Ext., Fulton St and Duffield St, Fulton St and Jay St, Cadman Plaza W and Montague St and the final stop of Cadman Plaza W and Tillary St. 20 stops westbound. Buses would operate from 6am-12am weekdays and Sundays and from 6am-12:30am Saturdays. I propose to decrease planned B38 service to every 6 min instead of every 3 min and from every 14 min to every 18 min. Every other bus will be a B28. B40 I support the B40 bus. I do however recommend keeping the B41, B45 and B67 local stop at Livingston St and Bond St. It provides easy access with minimal walking to the nearby Albee Square and the City Point retail area. Buses would not make all stops if no one got on or off. This also evens out and better distributes the load of riders along the Fulton Mall corridor. Please reconsider this. We want people to ride the buses. Not avoid them because of unfavourable changes. Also the MTA is facing a budget deficit so added revenue is visceral for buses to continue to function and be operational. B43 I would NOT remove the B43 bus stop at Manhattan Ave and Norman Av. It is the only bus stop to serve the Brooklyn Public Library?s Greenpoint Branch. This stop is important for residents to access the library. Please don?t remove it. I am not opposed to the southern rerouting of the B43 bus, however Tompkins and Brooklyn Aves are less trafficked and therefore might speed up travel times. Marcus Garvey Blvd on the other hand, has an extra lane of traffic. So? We don?t want buses to slow down and become more congested because of duplicated service. Look out for part 20.

Comment: Part 23 is a continuation from comment-03754484. B52 I would keep the B52 bus stop on Gates Ave and Ralph Av to connect with the B47 bus. B53/B32/B24/Q68 The B53 bus routing is odd to me. The route seems to not be direct and take much longer. It does not provide a direct ride from Broadway Junction to Sunnyside via Bushwick, Ridgewood and Maspeth(a route that currently does not exist). Instead, it goes all the way along Broadway underneath the J/Z and M trains(for a portion of its route) to the East River. Then it takes a diagonal shot up to Sunnyside through Greenpoint. It does not seem to me that this route was created for riders to travel between Broadway Jct. and Sunnyside. It was created to consolidate two routes into one. In doing this, the result is not a direct and fast bus ride, but a slow and indirect one. If the B53 bus route will be added to the network, it should not be at the expense of the B32 and B24 buses. Both extremely useful interborough connector routes. The B32 is a very useful bus route connecting Williamsburg to Greenpoint and Long Island City via the waterfront. The B62 bus is nearby and has a similar routing to the B32, but does not serve the waterfront and 11th/21rst Sts. The B62 bus is a half mile walk each way from the waterfront. This is too long for customers who want to quickly get to the waterfront. A 20min round trip walk could all be avoided with the B32 bus. It is useful for Williamsburg residents to get quickly to Greenpoint/LIC and vice versa. Also the B53 bus stops are placed much too far apart for waterfront users to get to the Williamsburg Bridge Bus Plaza or Long Island City for instance. Each stop is a 7min walk apart. This is further than some other proposed brooklyn bus route stops. Why? A waterfront route is meant to serve the waterfront, not to bypass it as a limited route. Stops are key for the waterfront. Current ridership metrics do not warrant a limited bus service along Kent and Wythe Aves. Please leave all bus stops along Kent and Wythe Aves at Kent Ave and S6th St, S3rd St, Metropolitan Ave and N9th S and N14th St and Kent Ave, Wythe Ave and N9th St, Metropolitan Ave, S3rd St and S5th St. Especially Kent/Wythe Aves and N9th St to connect to Bushwick Inlet Park. I would prefer it if no stops were removed. If stops must be removed, I am okay with removing Kent Ave and S6th St and Wythe Ave and S5th St. Look out for part 24.

Comment: B44-SBS I do not have a major issue with the B44SBS rerouting. However, Avenue Z is frequently congested and jammed especially during rush hours. It can sometimes take 15-20min just to loop around from Sheepshead Bay Road and Shore Parkway to get to Av. Z and Ocean Ave. I think installing bus lanes on Av. Z would help, but since Av. Z is only 1 lane, it might mean taking out the parking lanes or something. Signal priority is another possibility that leaves the parking lanes, although I don?t know if that works best in 2 lane roads. B45 I would keep the B45 bus stop in the eastbound direction at Flatbush Av and State St as it provides convenient access to the LIRR Atlantic Terminal station. The bus stop on Atlantic Ave and Flatbush Av provides convenient access to the Barclays Center. I would keep the B45 bus stop on St John?s Place and Classon and Bedford Aves to provide connections to the B48 and B49 buses. If a stop has to be removed, I would keep St John?s Pl and Bedford Ave, but remove St. John?s Pl and Rogers Ave to provide southbound service on the B49. This would be the same in the westbound direction to provide access to B49 southbound service. I don?t know why you plan on relocating the bus stop. The bus stop on Sterling Pl and Bedford Av is in a convenient location. I wouldn?t be against placing the bus stop in between Rogers and Bedford Aves, although it looks like parking spaces would have to be relocated. Connecting the B45 to the C train at Ralph Ave and Fulton St is a fine idea. In terms of the Buffalo and Crown Heights realignment, read down further to my comments on the proposed B65 bus below. Look out for part 21.

Comment: B20 Southbound B20 Rush buses would stop at: Putnam Av and Fairview Av, 67th Av and Fresh Pond Rd, Fresh Pond Rd and Catalpa/Myrtle Avs., Summerfield St and Myrtle Av&Cypress Avs, Covert St and Wyckoff Av for the L train and nearby proposed B26 Rush bus, Schaefer St and Knickerbocker/Wilson/Central and Evergreen Avs, Broadway and Rockaway Av/Granite St and Van Sinderen Av and Fulton St(where proposed B20 Rush buses would make all proposed rush stops south of Broadway Junction). 14 stops southbound. B20 Rush buses can add two more stops in both directions on Decatur/Summerfield Sts and Seneca/Forest Avs to serve Evergreen Park and P.S. 068 Cambridge (pending community input/opposition). B25 I would not remove the B25/B38 bus stop on Fulton St and Ashland Pl. It provides convenient access to the Brooklyn Health Center and indirect access to the Barclays Center. I also would continue to run overnight B25 service to Downtown Brooklyn. The A and C trains are a fine alternative, but they do not directly serve DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, the Fulton Ferry District and the Brooklyn Waterfront. The B25 is the only bus to service these areas during the night. Removing it would be a mistake. The B26 bus only goes so far. It is a good 17min walk from Cadman Plaza W and Montague St(the proposed terminal of the B26 bus) to Water St and Main St. This would be unacceptable for riders who want to get to the Fulton St corridor later in the evening. Retaining this service allows for more flexibility. If need be, buses can alternate between Fulton St and Franklin Ave and Front St and York St. As in every other bus serves Downtown Brooklyn. Buses would operate to Downtown Brooklyn approximately every 25-30 min. Every 40min following 11:30PM. This ensures riders along the waterfront won?t be stranded and have to walk a mile or more to their bus. B31 I would leave the B31 bus stop at Gerritsen Av and Gerritsen Beach because it provides easy beach access and it is the only logical place the bus can turn around because there is a turn around loop. If the proposed B31 bus does terminate at Gerritsen Av and Lois Av, it will still have to travel down to the proposed former bus stop at Gerritsen Av and Gerritsen Beach in order to turn around for northbound service. To me, this doesn?t make any sense. Leave the stop where it is. It also connects more directly to the Marine Park Salt Marsh Nature Trail. Look out for part 17.

Comment: B37 I would remove the b37 bus stop on 3rd Av and 90th St and keep 92nd St to serve the Bay Ridge Foodtown. (If one stop has to be removed). I would keep the B37 stop on 3rd Av at 88th St to serve the Brooklyn Dance Center III. I would only remove 3rd Av and 80th St(pending community input/opposition) as it is closer to the Centers Urgent Care of Bay Ridge. I would only remove the B37 stop on 3rd Av at 42nd/41rst Sts (pending community input/opposition) as it serves Sunset Park Prep, IS 136 Charles O. Dewey, the Gonzalo Plasencia Playground, LC Supply and Food Universe Marketplace. I would leave the B37 bus stop on 3rd Av at Carroll and Douglas Sts to serve the Brooklyn Music Factory, The Little Brooklyn Pre-K Center, Gothams Green HQ, Extra Space Storage, The Environmental Recycling of NY (Bottle and Can Redemption Center), New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital - Degraw Street Pediatrics, Brooklyn Workforce Innovations, EPIC Academy, Fresenius Kidney Care Park Slope Dialysis Center, Thomas Greene Playground, South Brooklyn Weightlifting Club, Goldfish Swim School - (Gowanus), ACME Bicycle Co., Gowanus Fitness, Cross Fit Brooklyn and the BluePearl Pet Hospital. I would leave the B37 bus stop on 4th Av and 100th St to serve the NYU Lutheran Associates 4th Ave OB/GYN(Obstetrician-gynecologist), ProHEALTH Urgent Care of Fort Hamilton, Music Lessons of Bay Ridge, John Paul Jones Park with the Fort Hamilton Cannon and the Dover Patrol Monument and the Last Stop Deli. It is the penultimate terminal stop, so removing it would do marginally nothing to speed up bus speeds. B38/B28 I propose the B28 rush. Running between Downtown Brooklyn and Metropolitan Ave and Starr St. The B28 would make eastbound rush stops at Tillary St and Cadman Plaza E, Fulton St and Smith St, Fulton St and Hoyt St, Fulton St and Flatbush Ave Ext., Fulton St and Lafayette Ave, Lafayette Ave and Vandebilt Ave, Lafayette Ave and Classon Ave, Lafayette Ave and Nostrand Ave, Lafayette Ave and Marcus Garvey Blvd, Lafayette Ave and Malcom X Blvd, Kossuth Pl and Broadway, Dekalb Ave and Myrtle Ave, Dekalb Ave and Wilson Av, Dekalb Ave and Wyckoff Ave, Dekalb Ave and Seneca Ave, Woodward Av and Stanhope St, Starr St and Woodward Av and the final stop at Metropolitan Ave and Starr St. 18 stops eastbound.

Comment: B46 I DO NOT think that the proposed B46 bus should be truncated to the Flushing Ave J/M local station and be removed from from the Williamsburg Bridge Bus Plaza and the Marcy Ave express station. It is a vital bus route in Brooklyn serving one of the most transit(subway)-deprived corridors in the city and is the busiest bus route in Brooklyn with over 7 million riders. Until at the very least, the Utica Ave subway line is built to either Kings Plaza or Floyd Bennett Field or even Jacob Riis Park, I would NOT shorten the B46 routing. Removing the B46 bus from the Williamsburg Bridge Bus Plaza removes Utica Ave riders direct service and access to Williamsburg, the bridge, nearby Manhattan, the East River, the Q54, Q59, B32, B24/proposed Q68, B44SBS, B39, B62 and B60 buses as well as the Marcy Av EXPRESS J/M/Z station. Connections are what make good bus systems, so severing these connections to numerous bus and subway lines, doesn?t make sense to me. Also the B47 and B15 buses would both terminate at the Flushing Ave subway station, so I would not not terminate B46 buses here to reduce congestion. B47 I would keep the B47 bus stop on Ave U and E56th St to better even out the load of Kings Plaza riders so that there isn?t crowding at a single bus stop. The Ave U and E59th St bus stop provides access to the Monsignor Crawford Field although I am not opposed to removing this stop. I would keep the Ralph Ave and Chase Ct. bus stop for the Ralph Ave IBX station. I would leave the Bus stop on Ralph Ave and Tilden Ave for connections with the B8 bus and to serve I.S. 285 Meyer Levin. B48/B69 I would NOT have the proposed B48 switch terminals with the proposed B69. They are both perfectly good bus routes. Please leave the routing as is. The idea of providing central Brooklynites access to the Navy Yard is good, but I do not feel that this new service should be provided at the expense of Greenpoint riders. I propose for some of the B48 buses during peak hours to run to Downtown Brooklyn via Flushing Ave. Every 40min, a bus to Downtown Brooklyn would be provided. Weekends, B48 buses would not run to Downtown Brooklyn. This would be a part time extension only. This provides new service/connections whilst retaining north-south service to Greenpoint. I would leave the B48 bus stop on Classon Ave/Franklin Ave and St. John?s Pl to connect to the B45 bus and provide service to Crown Heights and the Ralph Av subway station. Look out for part 22.

Comment: B62 The proposed B62 bus is NOT a replacement for the BQX. The BQX would run from either 27th Av and 2nd St or 21rst St and 20th Av in Ditmars-Steinway or Ditmars Blvd. It would then follow the proposed B62 and B32 routing to Downtown Brooklyn, pick up the B61?s routing and head down 3rd Av from 9th St to Industry City and Sunset Park.It could end at either 36th St,39th St Bush Terminal Park, 58th St or the Brooklyn Army Terminal to connect to the NYC Ferry, the IBX and the B11 bus. I am a huge proponent of this project. B63 I would leave the B63 bus stop on 5th Av and 77th St to connect to Atlantic Pyramids Insurance Agency Inc, Lu's Laundromat, Insurance Depot Inc, the 77th Gourmet Deli and the R train 77th St subway station on 4th Ave. (Pending community input/opposition). I would leave the B63 bus stop on 5th Av and 54th St to serve the Citi and Chase banks, the Health Max Pharmacy, the EmpireBlueCrossBlueShieldHealthPlus insurance agency, numerous stores and the LEEP Dual Language Academy. I would leave the B63 bus stops at 5th Av and 41rst St, 36th St, Garfield Pl and on Atlantic Av and 3rd Av, Bond St and Boreum Pl. The stop on Boreum Pl connects to Marshalls, Michaels, TDBank, Pet Smart and PM Pediatric Urgent Care as well as the B62 bus on nearby State St. Bond St connects to Citizens Bank, Apple Gourmet Farm, Humble House, Michele Varian, Iglesia De Dios Pentecostal, Templo Christiano de Brooklyn, House of the Lord Pentecostal church and Mud Australia Store. The 3rd Av stop serves NY State Senator Velmanette Montgomery's Office, Atlantic Dental Care, Halle Housing Associates(Muhlenberg Community HDFC), Forefront Church Brooklyn, Brothers For Progress - Food Distribution Center, Park Ave Radiology, the post office and BrooklynYMCA. The Garfield Pl bus stop serves the Park Slope Family Dentistry, PC. The 36th St stop is to serve ACTS Christian Church, PS 958 and to connect on 4th Av to the D,N&R. The 41rst St stop serves the United Tae Kwon Do Center, Atlantic Travel (5th Avenue), Hardware store N discount corp, Pantomima Theatre Based Care For Kids INC. preschool, the north end of Sunset Park and the Gourmet Deli Grocery. I would keep the B63 bus stop on 5th Av and 48th St to connect to the Fifth Avenue Pharmacy Inc and the Lutheran Family Health Centers Hospital. I would leave the B63bus stop on 5th Av and 58th St to serve the DHL Express ServicePoint, Sunway and Medina Pharmacies and to connect to the N&R trains on 4th Av at 59th St. 32

Comment: BM7/37/7c Keep the stop on Shore Rd and 88th St. It is unacceptable to walk 9MIN UPHlLL between stops and is too far to make elderly people walk to catch their bus. 88th St is a critical stop for many Bay Ridge residents serving Michelle Bailey, DDS Periodontist - Shore Road Dental, 8801 Shore Road Building Corporation, Harbor View Towers Tenant Corporation, multiple houses and apartment complexes along 88th/89th Sts/Narrows Av and for entering Shore Road Park Gazebo. DO NOT remove this stop especially as Bay Ridge has a lot of elderly/retired residents who can not walk long distances to catch their bus. Bay Ridge is a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community. We must cater to the needs of each neighbourhood. Not all changes will suit every single neighbourhood in Brooklyn. Adjustments need to be made where needed. BM8/38/8c I would only remove Cropsey Av and 25th (pending community input/opposition). 10min is a long walk between bus stops. Bay 31rst St/Bay Parkway provides the closest access to Bensonhurst Park and Bay Pkwy with the B82/B82-SBS/B6/B6-LTD and the proposed B5-LTD. BM35 The proposed BM35 bus SHOULD NOT have a decrease in frequency. Especially on Saturdays. It is an important express bus route serving Starrett City/Spring Creek and provides midtown riders a quick ride to Shirley Chisholm State Park. Please consider this. Decreasing Saturday service on express buses provides limited options for riders. Weekend express buses are important. With the Staten Island Express Bus Network Redesign changes, it is very hard to get anywhere on the island during weekends now without a car or a very slow local bus. Shirley Chisholm State Park would become even harder to get to without a car. Especially if the B84 bus route is discontinued which I am opposed to. It involves taking the 3 train, transferring to the L train and then taking a B82 or proposed B5-LTD bus or taking a B83 bus from Pennsylvania Av. If any of these transfers are late or if there is planned work etc, this trip can take over 2 hours. Otherwise, a walk from the 3 train takes 39min. Just under 2 miles. Please leave the proposed BM35 bus running on Saturdays to provide more options for riders. Look out for part 45.

Comment: On a side note, I would recommend for both the Brooklyn and Queens Bus Network Redesigns to evaluate local and express bus routes separately instead of at the same time. I feel that this helps to get more detailed and specific feedback relating to proposed local/express bus route changes. Also I do understand the reasoning behind labelling all buses with the BM prefix, but the X prefix is also good because it quickly identifies to a rider that this is an express bus ie: X. BAY RIDGE RESIDENTS: For all specific Bay Ridge resident concerns, refer to this detailed stop breakdown-https://www.radiofreebayridge.org/community/bay-ridge-bus-changes/?ref=bklyner.com#b16-97th. New routes I would propose: The B34: The B34(route number can be changed and doesn't matter). This route would start around either E14th St and Sheepshead Bay Rd or E16th St and Ave Z(based upon feasibility). An alternative would be to start the route around Ave U. At The present terminus of the B36. Gravesend Neck Rd and E29th St. This route would then travel down Nostrand Ave using existing bus lanes or down Bedford Ave to provide additional service. B34 service would make B44SBS stops until Knapp St and Shore Pkwy.(Ave X and Shore Pkwy&Nostrand Av). Additional stops can be added at Ave Z and Voorhies Ave as well as along Shore Pkwy based on customer input. Also, if there is no customer demand for this route, it can be shelved. The B34 bus would then travel along the Belt Pkwy(similar to the B83 bus in Spring Creek) to Flatbush Ave( Exit 11S). The B34 would then follow the existing Q35 bus routing to Rockaway Park making associated Q35 bus stops. Look out for part 46.

Comment: B62 Do not remove the Q18 bus stop on 30th Av and 14th St. I propose for the proposed B62 bus to stop here overnight only. I am not sure why the Q18 bus will skip 27th Av and 4th St because that is to be a proposed B62 bus stop. Overnight, proposed B62 buses would not skip so many stops to compensate for the lack of local service and the proposed discontinuation of the Q102(which I am opposed to. More details are in my queens bus network redesign overview comments). B62/Q102 buses overnight and Q18/Q19/Q103 buses during the day would stop at 8th St and 27th Av, 27th Av and 4th St and 27th Av and 2nd St. I would propose for Q18/Q19/Q103 and Q103 buses to terminate at 27th Av and 2nd St instead of the proposed B62 LTD terminal of 26th Av and 1rst St to avoid terminal congestion from layovers. Some buses could terminate instead at Astoria Blvd and 1rst St. (These buses would skip 27th Av and 2nd St to reduce congestion). For the sole purpose of explaining this, Q103 buses could terminate at Astoria Blvd and 1rst St and Q102/Q18 and Q19 buses could terminate at 27th Av and 2nd St and the proposed B62 LTD can terminate at 26th Av and 1rst St. The proposed southern realignment of the B62LTD should NOT be implemented, however if it is, an infill stop should be added at Williamsburg St W and Bedford Av. 11 min is too far to walk between stops. It seems to me that the proposed B62LTD bus is just a remodelling of the BQX route. I am not opposed to it, but do not want the route to be so long that it ends up having to be cut in the future or becomes unreliable. A prime example is the M5 bus in Manhattan. (The M5 is an essential bus route serving many different communities and neighbourhoods. It should not have been truncated to Herald Sq. The route in its original form was the longest bus route in Manhattan(12mi). It ended at Greenwich Village late nights. I feel that at least the M5 should have been truncated to Houston St(its overnight terminal) if it would be truncated at all or extend the M55 up to Central Park S to bring back the M6). Look out for part 31.

Comment: B24/Q68 in relation to the B32 and proposed B53bus The B24 bus is another useful interborough route connecting Williamsburg to Greenpoint via Sunnyside. It provides residents of Greenpoint and Williamsburg direct access to Sunnyside. The stop on Greenpoint Ave and Hunters Point Ave should NOT be removed. The LIE is a busy expressway and so having a stop on either side of I-495 is a courtesy so riders don?t have to cross the expressway. It is also is safer. The service roads are HEAVILY trafficked. A lot of drivers and trucks coming into Manhattan use the Queensboro Bridge which is accessed from Exit 15 Van Dam St and drivers coming from Manhattan and points west use Borden Ave to connect to the LIE(I-495) and the BQE(I-278). The Q68 bus is a good route. It is a nice edition to have a bus running 24 hours connecting Sunnyside/Steinway and Williamsburg. I do feel thought that the Q101 should NOT be discontinued. Running service to Manhattan is important. It has more riders than the B24 and B32 buses. The proposed Q68 bus also will not have the same route in Steinway as the Q101. It will not serve 20th Av, Hazen St or 49th St. The proposed terminus of the Q68 bus is about a 15min walk away from the Q101 terminus. I propose to leave the Q101 bus and the proposed Q68. The Q101 bus would no longer run 24 hours. It would end service at 12:45am. Service would begin at 5am. B54 I would keep the westbound B54 bus stop on Myrtle Ave and Wilson Ave and the bus stop on Franklin Ave to connect to the B60 and B48 buses. B57 I would keep the B57 bus stop on Flushing Ave and Franklin Av to connect to the southbound B48 bus. Providing a connection to Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and Flatbush as well as the proposed B55SBS and a direct transfer to the Brighton line. I would leave the B57 bus stop on Flushing Ave and Tompkins Ave if the southbound B43 routing is unchanged B60/B66 I would leave the B60 bus stop on Rockaway Av and Sutter Ave. There are a lot of shops in the area and it connects to the Brownsville post office, P396K, PS 284 The Gregory Jocko Jackson School of Sports, Art, and Technology, the Langston Hughes senior center, the Student Farm Project, the Greg Jackson Center for Brownsville and the Langston Hughes houses. Look out for part 25.

Comment: B67 Keep Livingston St and Bond St. It provides easy access with minimal walking to the nearby Albee Square and the City Point retail area. Buses would not make all stops if no one got on or off. This also evens out and better distributes the load of riders along the Fulton Mall corridor. I would only remove the B67 bus stop on Market St at 5th St (pending opposition and feedback from Navy Yard employees). B68 I am strongly OPPOSED to the southern rerouting of the proposed B68 bus as are residents of CB 13 especially. It is an essential bus route that best serves the shops and restaurants along Coney Island Av and through Brighton Beach. NOT the residential areas of Manhattan Beach and Kingsborough Community College. KCC students mostly use the B1 and B49 buses. B49 buses are much more crowded from my experience. It serves more neighbourhoods and has better connections to East Brooklyn and Queens as well as the Sheepshead Bay subway station and Sheepshead Bay. The B68 does not do any of this. It ends at Prospect Park. East NY, Flatbush and Flatlands are a long bus ride away under this proposal. DO NOT do this please. Riders on the B68 want to go to Brighton Beach and Coney Island. NOT Manhattan Beach. Riders on the B49 bus want to go to Manhattan Beach and KCC. NOT Coney Island. The subway does that. B68 bus service should retain its 24 hour service. There will be no bus route running 24 hours in the vicinity of Coney Island Av. Do NOT adjust the frequencies of the proposed B68. Having the B49 is an excellent idea. It provides more service to Central Brooklyn in particular. Riders won?t have to walk for 1 mile between Coney Island Av and Nostrand Av to find a bus. They can pick up the B49 on Ocean Av. B70 I would leave the B70 bus stop on Ft Hamilton Parkway and 77th St to better serve the McKinley Park tennis courts. I would keep the B70 bus stop at 8th Av and 67th St to serve Leif Ericson Park and the tennis and pickleball courts. I would leave the B70 stop on 39th St and 6th Av. The blocks on 39th St are long and there is a hill on the approach to 6th Av. B74 I would leave the B74 bus stop on Mermaid Av and W19th St to connect to the Brooklyn Public Library Coney Island Branch. I would leave the B74 bus stop on Mermaid Av and 30th/31rst Sts to serve P.S. 329 The Surfside School and the small strip mall and the fine fare on Mermaid Av.

Comment: B65 I would leave the B65 bus stop on Atlantic Av and Bond St to connect to Citizens Bank, Apple Gourmet Farm, Humble House, Michele Varian, Iglesia De Dios Pentecostal, Templo Christiano de Brooklyn, House of the Lord Pentecostal church and Mud Australia Store. Proposed B65 buses would parallel B45 buses between Flatbush Av and Washington Av and Dean St. This would remove direct Crown Heights-Boerum Hill service as well as connections to the 2,3, F and G trains at Bergen St and the proposed B27 bus on Smith St. Bergen St is also significantly wider than Dean St because of the added westbound bike lane. B65 buses running along Bergen/Dean Sts provides additional service and more direct neighbourhood connections. Please consider this. I would remove the following stops on Bergen St west of Washington Av: Bergen St and Flatbush Av(west side, Flatbush/New Lots entrance) and Bond St(pending community input/opposition). I would only remove the B65 bus stop on Dean St and 6th Av (pending community input/opposition) as it serves the nearby Dean Playground and the NYPD 78th Precinct. I would leave the B65 bus stop on Dean/Bergen Sts and Brooklyn Av to provide more service to Crown Heights residents. I would NOT remove B65 bus service from Buffalo/Ralph Aves south of St. Marks Av. Proposed B45 and B15 bus service would be removed from Buffalo Av. Under this change, Buffalo Av would no longer have any bus service. Leave the east end of the B65 bus routing unchanged. I would remove the bus stop on Ralph Av and Sterling Pl and Buffalo Av and St Marks Av. B67 DO NOT remove B67 buses from the Navy Yard and South Williamsburg. The B67 is the only bus route to serve the Navy Yard directly and connect to the NYC ferry Astoria route. The proposed B62LTD bus will no longer serve Wythe/Kent Aves(which I am opposed to. More details above). With this change, there would be no South Williamsburg waterfront bus service, no bus to serve the NYC Ferry East River route South Williamsburg stop and no overnight bus service. This is NOT okay. Also, the B67 bus doesn?t serve the navy yard and South Williamsburg at all times. Only on weekdays between 4:30am and 7pm for the most part. This is fine. The B67 bus is a solid route that does not need rerouting. Please consider this. Look out for part 34.

Comment: Q55 I would leave the Q55 stop on Myrtle Av and 70th St to serve Forest Park Dental and the USPS Glendale Station. I would leave the Q55 bus stop on both sides of Woodhaven Blvd in both directions to provide closer access to southbound Q52/53SBS, Q21 and Q11 buses and to prevent traffic collision fatalities from riders crossing the road to catch their connecting bus. I would add a stop on Jamaica Av at 121rst/122nd Sts to provide a closer connection to the J and Z trains at the 121rst St subway station. I would either add a stop on Jamaica Av and the Van Wyck Expwy to provide a closer connection to the E train at Jamaica-Van Wyck and Jamaica Hospital and the Q24 bus and keep 134th St or remove it. I would keep the Q55 bus stop on Myrtle Av and 85th Av to provide a closer connection point to the southbound Q37 bus. I would leave the westbound Q55 bus stop on Myrtle Av at Seneca Av to connect to the B38 and Q58 buses. Q56 I would keep the stop on Jamaica Av and 75th St as it is closer to the 75th St-Elderts Lane J&Z train station. I would keep the Q56 bus stop on Jamaica Av and 85/86th Sts to provide a connection to the J train at the 85th St-Forest Parkway Station. I would keep the stop on Jamaica Av and 104th St to connect to the J&Z trains at the 104th St station. I would keep the Q56 bus stop at Jamaica Av and 121rst/122nd Sts to provide a connection to the J&Z trains, the proposed Q55 bus and the Life Storage-Jamaica and the CubeSmart Self Storage. I would also keep the following stops along Jamaica Av: Jamaica Av and 132nd St, Van Wyck Expwy and 139th St. With the proposed Q55 bus making proposed Q56 stops, Q56 buses won?t be slowed down by a stopping Q55 bus because they are stopping in different places and vice versa with the sole exception of Jamaica Av and the Van Wyck Expwy to provide closer service to the E train at the Jamaica-Van Wyck subway station and Jamaica Hospital and the Q24 bus. Q56 buses would no longer stop at Jamaica Av and 134/138th Sts and 144 Pl. I would keep the Q56 bus stop on Jamaica Av at 168th Pl to serve the New York State DMV - Jamaica, the Workforce1 Industrial&Transportation Career Center, the Social Security Office, Q381 District 29 Pre-K Center, Marshalls and the NYPD 103rd Precinct. I would keep the Q56 bus stops on both sides of Woodhaven Blvd to provide closer access to southbound Q52/53SBS, Q21 and Q11 buses and to prevent traffic collision fatalities from riders crossing the road to catch their connecting bus.

Comment: Part 32 is a continuation from part 31-03754664. B64 Do not reroute B64 buses in Gravesend. The only reason for the reroute is to cover for the loss of the proposed B82 Gravesend shortening, which I am heavily opposed to. (Read down below for more details on the proposed B82 bus). B4 bus routing should NOT be changed either(for the reasons I stated above). I would first confirm with Bay Ridge residents if they are okay with this change. This would remove a direct Coney Island-Bay Ridge connection. I would leave the B64 bus stop on Bath Av and 19th Av/Bay 20th St to connect to Nathan?s Pharmacy, Appliances Connection, New York City Church of God, Professional Water Technology Inc(EZ Water Pure, Inc, the New York City Police Department - 62nd Precinct, the Bath Beach Driving School and the New York State Council - Knights of Columbus corporate office. I would keep the B64 bus stop on 13th Av and 84th St to connect to the United States Postal Service Dyker Heights station. I would leave the B64 bus stop on 13th Av and 77th St to serve Chase Bank, Express Line Services-Shipping & Wireless and Pollina Pharmacy.(pending community input/opposition). I would leave the stop on 13th Av and 73rd St to connect to Q Laundromat Inc and Dyker Heights Radiation Oncology. (pending community input/opposition). I would only remove Bay Ridge Av and 13th/10th/6th Avs (pending community input/opposition from Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge residents. The blocks on Bay Ridge Av are long). Look out for part 33.

Comment: B34 If the Q35 and B34 run as a non-stop express route to Rockaway Park from Floyd Bennett Field, they could instead terminate around the vicinity of 138 Beach 116th St to avoid terminal congestion and provide closer beach service for beachgoers. If the B34 and Q35 buses were to terminate here instead of B. 116th St & Newport Ave or Rockaway Fwy and B.108th St, they would travel via Rockaway Beach Blvd.(Either as a non-stop express, local or LTD service). The Q35 or B34 could terminate at this new proposed terminal around the vicinity of 138 B.116th St. Another option is to have both buses alternate terminals. Similar to the B38 bus. (A practice you seem to be doing away with). Either way, this is another way to provide a terminal in Rockaway Park whilst also reducing terminal capacity and congestion. If the proposed B34 bus is discontinued, all Q35 rush buses would follow their current routing routing on Newport Av making all stops. (Beach 147th St and Neponsit Ave, Newport Ave and Beach 145th St, B. 143rd St, B.140th St, B. 139th St, B.137th St, B.135th St, B.133rd St, B.132St, B.129th St, B.127th St, B.125th St, B.123rd St, B.121rst St, B.119th St and B.116th St). As a reminder, A BUS WOULD NOT BE SLOWED DOWN IF NOBODY GOT ON OR OR OFF, so these stops are just left as a courtesy to residents. Q22 buses would continue to run to Roxbury at all times to retain service.(More details below under Q22). Look out for part 48.

Comment: B76 The proposed hours of service would be decreased compared to existing B17 bus service. Do not do this. Leave the service unchanged. I would propose for a few B17 or the proposed B76 buses to run to Crown Heights-Utica Av to retain current B17 part-time service. I would propose for B76 buses to operate between 5:45am and 9am and 2pm and 11pm to Canarsie Paerdegat Basin and between 6am and 10:15am and 2pm and 11:15pm to Broadway Junction/Crown Heights-Utica Av. 20 or 25 of the buses would run to Crown Heights and the remainder will run to Broadway Junction. This increases service options for Canarsie residents. I would add a stop on Rockaway Av and Sutter Av(more details under the proposed B60). B82/B82-SBS The B82 bus should NOT end in Bensonhurst. The B82SBS already ends in Bensonhurst, so I am not sure what the reason is behind terminating both routes in Bensonhurst along Cropsey Ave., increasing terminal congestion. The B82 bus in its current form is an excellent and essential cross-brooklyn route. It provides residents of Flatlands, Canarsie, East NY and Spring Creek in particular with direct service to Coney Island. This would change and would require a transfer under the proposed draft plan. I would not remove the bus stop on Flatlands Av and E 80th St to connect to the B103LTD bus. Also under this change, Coney Island residents would no longer have 24 hour crosstown bus service along Kings Hwy/Flatlands Av. This is not okay. Under the proposed draft plan, Coney Island residents would have to walk 31 min(1.5mi to catch a proposed B82 bus running infrequently due to it being in the middle of the night. Riders could have to wait up to an hour or more depending on the when the bus is PLUS the 1.5mi walk in each direction. 3mi to walk for a bus is unacceptable. This is longer than some proposed bus routes). Please leave the B82 local in Coney Island. B83 I would first confirm with East New York and Starrett City/Spring Creek residents to determine if they are okay with this change. I would propose for B83 buses to follow its proposed routing, but to also have the B83A run along its current routing to serve residents along Vandalia and Van Siclen Aves. B83A buses would not operate 24 hours. They would run every 15 or so minutes during weekdays and every 30min during the evenings and weekends between Broadway Junction and Gateway Center. If ridership demand is not high, the route can be shelved. (It would be a pilot route running for 6 months). 36

Comment: Part 36 is a continuation from part 35-03754815. B103-LTD The B103-LTD bus is an essential central/east brooklyn route connecting Canarsie to Downton Brooklyn, Flatbush, Flatlands and Kensington. It should NOT be shortened or at least slightly modified to still ensure direct Canarsie-Downtown Brooklyn service. I don?t have an issue with running the B103LTD bus to the New Lots Av 3 train station, but do not feel that it should be at the expense of Kensington, Flatbush, Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn residents. It is an extremely useful option for cross-brooklyn travel when the subways aren?t running because of planned work and/or maintenance. Please consider this. I would propose for the B103 LTD to operate between Downtown Brooklyn Tillary St and Cadman Plaza West and Canarsie Williams St and Flatlands Av. I would propose for weekday rush hour service to run to the New Lots Av 3 train station.(Service spans and frequencies can be increased to run to East New York at other times of the day based upon community feedback/wants and needs). If the proposed B103-LTD must be shortened, proposed B103 LTD service would run at the very least, to Downtown Brooklyn during weekday peak hours between 5:30am and 10:30am and between 2:15PM and 11PM. Proposed B103-LTD buses would also run to Downtown Brooklyn on weekends. I also am okay with removing the B103-LTD bus stops on Coney Island Av and Beverley Rd in both directions, the eastbound B103 stop on Church Av at Ocean Pkwy and/or relocating the eastbound stop on McDonald Ave and Caton Av to Albermarle Rd(solely pending community input/opposition) to more directly service the F,<F> and G trains at the Church Av subway station and the Kensington Foodtown. Look out for part 37.

Comment: Q24 The Q24 should NOT be rerouted away from Jamaica Hospital. The proposed Q42 that would serve the hospital, does NOT run 24 hours like the Q24 does, so there will be a drastic reduction in service during the late night periods. The Q24 is also more frequent than the proposed Q42 bus. The Q24 bus should continue to serve the hospital because it brings Brooklyn, Ozone Park, Woodhaven and Richmond Hill riders directly to the hospital. The Q42 does not do this. Under the proposed Queens Bus Network Redesign Draft Plan, brooklyn and western queens riders would have to transfer buses in Jamaica, but not later than 10pm, because the Q42 doesn?t run after or walk 8min from Atlantic Av and 134th St alongside the dangerous and narrow Van Wyck Expwy service road sidewalk with constant car fumes and exhaust lingering in the air, impacting people with respiratory issues and potentially worsening their condition that is also NOT IDEAL FOR RIDERS WITH AN INJURY THAT HAVE TROUBLE WALKING etc. Please reconsider this. I still propose on keeping the proposed Q42 bus running to Jamaica Hospital. This provides new service for riders. Riders from eastern queens and western queens and brooklyn can access the hospital. (A side project would be to construct an over or underpass across I-678 to provide closer access to the hospital(decreasing walking times)). I am okay with removing the following stops along Broadway only (pending community input/opposition): Broadway and Granite St(westbound), Broadway and Jefferson Av, Broadway and Grove St, Broadway and Lafayette Av, Broadway and Chauncey St(eastbound) and Broadway and Van Sinderen Av. Look out for part 39.

Comment: Q24 I am okay with the westbound shortening of the proposed Q24 bus, however having duplicate bus service under subway tracks is extremely useful at the event of a service disruption or if there is planned work. Getting shuttle buses to riders along an impacted line takes much longer than if riders could hop on an existing bus route. This is the trade-off I see with shortening the proposed Q24 bus. I would only remove the Q24 stop on Atlantic Av and Berriman St/Shepherd Ave(pending community input/opposition) as it serves the nearby Jamaica Hospital(Medical Center), St. Rita's Roman Catholic Church and the Followers of Jesus Mennonite Church. As a reminder, buses do not stop at all stops if no one is there nor wants to get off. I am proposing on keeping this stop as a courtesy for injured/handicapped/etc. riders who have a difficulty walking long distances because of an injury and/are in pain, etc. I would remove Atlantic Av and 86th/90th Sts and keep Atlantic Av and 88th St to serve the London Planetree Playground and skate park as well as Beacon Building Products and Atlantic Av and 92nd St to more directly serve the Clocktower Plaza shopping mall and the Stop&Shop. I would only remove the Q24 bus stop on Atlantic Av at 106th St(pending community input/opposition) as it serves the Maurice A. FitzGerald Playground and the American Byelorussian Orthodox Church. Look out for part 38.

Comment: Q54 I would keep the Q54 bus stop on Metropolitan Av and Starr St to connect to the proposed B57-LTD and the B28 Rush bus(more details above under B38). I would also leave the stop on Metropolitan Av and Woodward Av (pending community input/opposition) to remove the 13min walk between stops and to serve the Western Beef Supermarket, the Brooklyn Badminton Center, the Brothers Fishmarket and the Manhattan Fruit Exchange. I would leave the stop on Metropolitan Av and 79th St (pending community input/opposition) as it serves the Integrated Internal Medicine Medical Center, A Animal Clinic of Queens and NYU Langone Cardiovascular Associates. I am not against removing the Q54 bus stop on Metropolitan Av and Aubrey Av, however it provides closer access to southbound Q52-SBS, Q53-SBS, Q11 and Q21 buses and prevents people from having to cross the busy Woodhaven Blvd to catch a connecting southbound bus, also reducing traffic collision fatalities. I would keep the Q54 bus stop on Metropolitan Av and Selfridge St to serve the AdvantageCare Physicians - Forest Hills Medical Office and the Forest Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Inc. I am not opposed to the realignment of the Q54 onto Hillside Av, however that removes the connection to the E train at Jamaica-Van Wyck and lengthens the walk to Jamaica Hospital. I am okay with removing Q54 Bus stops (only after pending input/opposition) at Metropolitan Av and 132nd/131rst Sts, Jamaica Av and 134th, 138th Sts and 144th Pl. I would only remove Jamaica Av and 150th St (pending community input/opposition) as it serves Rufus King Park, the Queens County Family Court and ALC - JAMAICA ACADEMY. I would keep the stop on Jamaica Av and 168th Pl to serve the New York State DMV - Jamaica, the Workforce1 Industrial & Transportation Career Center, the Social Security Office, Q381 District 29 Pre-K Center, Marshalls and the NYPD 103rd Precinct. I would leave the Q54 bus stop on Metropolitan Av at 70th Av for the Queens Public Library North Forest Park Branch. I would leave the stop on Metropolitan Av and Eliot Av to connect to the Q39 or the proposed Q67 Rush. I would leave the stop on Metropolitan Av and Nurge St to connect and provide closer service to the B28 Rush bus on Grandview St. I would a stop at Grand St and Lorimer St to the B48 bus to ensure a transfer if the stop at Union Ave must be removed. Look out for part 40.

Comment: Q8 I am not opposed to rerouting the Q8 bus to the New Lots Av 3 train subway station, however this is only okay if and only if the B84 bus is NOT discontinued. I propose to run weekday peak Q8 bus service to the Gateway Center Mall. Q8 buses would operate between 7am-10:30am and from 2pm-11pm to Gateway Center Terminal/Gateway Dr. Morning Q8 buses would operate every 16min to the Gateway Center Mall. Every other Q8 bus would either run to New Lots or Spring Creek. Evening Q8 buses would operate every 8min from the Gateway Center Mall and every 12min from the New Lots Av subway station. After 9PM, Q8 buses would operate every 20min from Spring Creek and every 15min from New Lots. Weekends, Q8 buses would run to New Lots only. (If ridership levels permit and (pending community input/opposition), every other weekend Q8 bus can operate to the Gateway Center Mall. The buses would run until 10:30PM every 25min after 8:30PM). I would leave the Q8 stop on 101rst Av and 127th St if the Q41 bus route is not discontinued and (pending community input/opposition). The Q8 stop on Euclid Av and Blake Av can be removed. Q58 I would only remove the Q58 bus stop on Fairview Av and Forest Av(pending community input/opposition) as it provides access to the Forest Av M train station, the Q39/proposed Q67 bus and the B13/B20 bus/proposed B7. I would leave the Q58 bus stop on Fresh Pond Rd at 59th Dr/61rst St. to serve Reiff Playground. I would leave the Q58 bus stop on Broadway at Justice Av/Queens Blvd to connect to the Q53/proposed Q52-SBS and to serve the Queen Public Library Elmhurst branch as well as westbound Q60 bus service. This is to reduce traffic collision fatalities where riders run across the road to catch their connecting bus. I would leave the Q58 bus stops on Putnam Av at Myrtle and Wyckoff Avs to provide connections to the B55 and B26 buses. This is to reduce terminal transferring. These stops can be removed (pending community input/opposition). Look out for part 43.

Comment: EXPRESS BUSES: BM1/31/1c I am against the removal of stops in Mill Basin(only pending community input/opposition). Mill Basin is the terminus of the express bus, so removing stops in the specific neighbourhood it is supposed to serve isn?t logical. The bus is already close to its terminus, so it won?t be slowed down by much and it serves more residents this way. Please reconsider this. As a reminder, buses will NOT be slowed down if no one gets on or off. Please leave these stops in particular:(E66th St and Strickland Av, Mayfair Dr. N&S, National Dr and Mill Av, 56th Dr. and E63rd St and E66th St and Dakota Pl.) as a courtesy to all Mill Basin residents. Especially with a bus that comes very infrequently, every ~30-60min, if stops are too far apart and riders miss the bus, they could have to wait up to an hour or more(if the bus is late/stuck in traffic) to get to their destination. Compared to a maximum of 20-30 min for a local bus. Decreasing Saturday service on express buses provides limited options for riders. Weekend express buses are important. I would only reduce service at the weekend (pending community input/opposition). BM2/32/2c I would only remove Av. M and E85th St and Canarsie Rd/ E93rd St (pending community input/opposition). 9min is a long walk between bus stops. I would not remove Pennsylvania Av and Flatlands Av as it serves the Brooklyn Public Library Spring Creek Branch. Decreasing Saturday service on express buses provides limited options for riders. Weekend express buses are important. I would only reduce service at the weekend (pending community input/opposition). BM4c/34 Decreasing Saturday service on express buses provides limited options for riders. Weekend express buses are important. I would only reduce service at the weekend (pending community input/opposition). With the Staten Island Express Bus Network Redesign changes, it is very hard to get anywhere on the island during weekends now without a car or a very slow local bus. Look out for part 44.

Comment: B34 To avoid congestion at Beach 116th St, the proposed B34 bus would terminate at Rockaway Fwy and Beach 108th St or Beach Channel Drive and Beach 108th St(based off of feasibility). A stop would still be maintained at Newport Ave and B. 116th St. or Newport Ave and nearby B.118th St to reduce terminal congestion. In this proposal the Q22 would still run to Roxbury B.169th St. Refer to my Proposed Queens Bus Network Redesign comments down further for an explanation as to why. Based upon rider input, the proposed B34 can also travel via Rockaway Beach Blvd. Having the B34 travel via Newport Ave would be to provide additional service in the communities of Neponsit, Belle Harbor and Rockaway Park. If demand isn't there nor justified, duplicated service along Rockaway Beach Blvd as a new Rockaway trunk can be implemented. With the Q22 continuing to travel south of B.116th St or at least only during peak hours and weekends, the Q35 and B34 could operate as non-stop express routes only stopping at Rockaway Beach Blvd and B.147th St and possibly Memorial Circle or operate non-stop from Floyd Bennett Field to Rockaway Park. If the B34 were to travel along Newport Ave instead of Rockaway beach Blvd following former Q35 service, it would make the following stops: Beach 147th St and Neponsit Ave, Newport Ave and Beach 145th St, B. 143rd St, B.140th St, B. 139th St, B.137th St, B.135th St, B.133rd St, B.132St, B.129th St, B.127th St, B.125th St, B.123rd St, B.121rst St, B.119th St and B.116th St. A bus would not be slowed down if nobody got on or off, so these stops are just left as a courtesy to residents. The next stop on the proposed B34 would be Beach Channel Drive and Rockaway Fwy(although a case can be made to not have a stop here). The next stop would be B.108th St and Rockaway Fwy(a case can be made to not have a stop here either). The terminus would overlap with the proposed Q35 at Beach Channel Drive and B.108th St. So to alleviate congestion, I would suggest terminating one route at Newport Ave and B.116th St and the other route at the NYC Ferry Rockaway terminal ferry stop. Buses would terminate at the same stop as the NYC Ferry RWS and RES routes. If this proves to be an issue, the B34 or Q35 should terminate instead on B.108th St and Beach Channel Dr. Look out for part 47.

Comment: The OLD B71 Bus: I propose reinstating the cut B71 bus due to budget cuts. This 3mi bus route from the Columbia Street Waterfront District to Crown Heights is a vital east-west crosstown connection. Connecting riders to the waterfront, Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Residents of Park Slope in particular are extremely vocal about this and WANT THEIR BUS BACK. I propose for this bus route instead of terminating at Van Brunt St and Sackett St, to continue via the Hugh L. Cary (brooklyn battery) Tunnel to Lower Manhattan. This provides Red Hook residents in particular, a direct connection to Lower Manhattan. A similar option to the discontinued B51 bus. Faster and more convenient than going through congested Downtown Brooklyn or the NYC Ferry. This extension would provide the same benefits mostly as a 1 or W train extension to 4th Ave/9th Sts for a fraction of the cost. The Lower Manhattan terminus I propose would be around Rector St or Murray St. An exact location can be determined at a later date by lower manhattan and Red Hook/Brooklyn residents. There is also a proposal to make this a SBS+ route. More details on reintroducing this cut bus route is available at this link-https://bklyner.com/rally-bring-back-new-improved-b71-bus-service-friday/. It also at the time, 5/6 years ago, had the approval of then Brooklyn borough president Eric Adams. The Old B23 bus. I propose reinstating the cut B23 bus. The B23 bus would run for 1 year as a pilot bus to see if ridership levels warrant an additional bus between 13/14th Avs and 18th Av. Also, if the B23 bus is reinstated, I propose for the B16 bus to keep a straighter routing along Ft. Hamilton Parkway between 57th and 37th St. Providing a new connection to the Maimonides Medical Center. (Speeding up travel times and reducing turns). Also 57th/56th Sts are less congested than 60th St and provide more options for riders instead of having duplicate bus service along 60th St. Look out for part 49.

Comment: Queens Bus Network Redesign Draft Plan Comments: Q22 I propose to have Q22 bus service operate 24 hours. I am very opposed to the proposed shortening of the proposed Q22 bus to Roxbury-Beach 169th St. This section of the Q22 bus DOES NOT HAVE LOW RIDERSHIP especially on weekends and during the summer months in particular. The Q22 is an essential feeder route for Jacob Riis Park and Rockaway beach/Ft. Tilden visitors to get to the NYC Ferry and the Rockaway Park Shuttle/A train and as a companion route the NYC Ferry RWS route which runs less frequently.(Roughly every 30-60min). Many beachgoers use this route from my personal experience. Buses are frequently crowded during weekend periods. It is also a useful route to access the Ft. Tilden Gateway National Recreation Area. Please leave the proposed Q22 bus in Roxbury. If the route must be shortened, I propose running at the very least Q22 bus service to Roxbury-Beach 169th St at the weekends with an increased frequency between May-Oct. I propose to run all weekend buses to Roxbury every 20min or run 2 buses an hour to Roxbury and 1 bus an hour to Beach 116th St. There would be a Q22 bus running every 20min all weekend. Overnight, buses to Roxbury would run every 60-75min and buses to Beach 116th St would run every 40min. Q22 weekend bus service between Nov-Apr would run every 30min. Q22 weekday buses would run to Roxbury every 20min during the weekday peak(5:30-10am and 2:30-9:30pm). There would be no Q22 service to Roxbury between 9:30pm and 5:30am on weekdays. Look out for part 51. The continuation of my Q22 comments.

Comment: Q22 The stop locations in Nassau County are very unclear and weirdly spaced. I think there may be some typos in the Q22 draft plan document. Nevertheless, I would add a stop in the southbound direction on Bawview Av at Lawrence St to connect to the LIRR Far Rockaway Branch in particular. I would certainly add a bus stop on either Doughty Blvd and Redfern or Brunswick Avs (based upon feasibility) to serve the LIRR Far Rockaway Branch. I am not sure if it is intentional or an accident to have Q22 local bus stops 24min(1.2mi) apart from each other. This is certainly too far to make riders walk to their bus. I would add additional stops at Mott Av and DeSibio Pl to serve the Nassau Tennis and Sports Center, Mott Av and Doughty Blvd (for the Rockaway Home Care and Advanced Dermatology PC Inwood) and Doughty Av and Bayview to provide a transfer to the Q114 bu(routing unchanged) to reduce the walk times between Central and Virginia and Mott and Lawrence. I would then add stops along Central Av at Nameoke St to provide a connection to the LIRR Far Rockaway Branch and to serve P.S. 253Q - The Randolph Holder School for Social Justice, Adult and Continuing Education, the Church of God Christian Academy, Far Rockaway Community Church-The Nazarene and the Arverne Church of God and at Central Av and Mott Av. to serve ACQC - Far Rockaway Site, TRI-MED Home Care Services, Challenge Charter High School, Central Assisted Living and the Jewish Community Council. I would not have proposed Q22 buses run along Sheridan Blvd. Northbound Q22 buses would stop on Central Av at Neilson St to provide a connection to the LIRR Far Rockaway Branch, N31 and N32 buses and P.S. 253Q - The Randolph Holder School for Social Justice, Adult and Continuing Education, the Church of God Christian Academy, Far Rockaway Community Church-The Nazarene and the Arverne Church of God, Central Av and Virginia St, Lawrence Av and Bayview Av to provide a connection to the LIRR Far Rockaway Branch and the USPS Lawrence station and Mott Av and Lawrence Av to provide a transfer to the Q114 bus(routing unchanged) where proposed Q22 buses would make all proposed northbound stops listed in the draft plan. Infill stops can be added at Central Av and Beach 12th St and Doughty Blvd.(They can either be included or not. Pending community input/opposition). Also proposed Q22 buses can make all existing N31/N32 bus stops along Central Av to Lawrence Av (pending community input/opposition and riders? wants). End

Comment: B23 Proposed northbound B23 buses would stop at 60th St and 14th Av(for a transfer to the B9 bus), 16th Av and 60th St, 56th St, 53rd St, 50th St(mid-block)(for tranfer to the B11 bus), 46th St, 44th St, 41rst St, Cortelyou Rd and McDonald Av(for the B67/B69), E3rd St, Ocean Pkwy, E8th St, Westminster Rd, E16th St, E19th St, Ocean Av and Beverley Rd and Flatbush Av and Beverley Rd. (19 stops northbound). Infill stops can be added at 60th St and 15th Av and Cortelyou Rd and Coney Island Av(for the B68 bus)(pending community input/opposition). Southbound proposed B23 buses would make the following stops: Cortelyou Rd and E21rst St, E19th St, E16th St, Argyle Rd, Stratford Rd, E7th St, E5th St, E3rd St, Cortelyou Rd and McDonald Av(for the B67/B69), 16th Av and 42nd St, 44th St, 47th St, 49th St(for the B11), 53rd St, 56th St, 60th St(for the B9 bus), 62nd St, 65th St and 16th Av, 15th Av, New Utrecht Av and 63rd St (for the D and N train) and New Utrecht Av and 61rst St(or another terminal around the vicinity of the 62nd St-New Utrech Av terminal station complex). Buses can use 14th Av as an alternative instead(based off of feasibility). If so, an associated stop would be added at 14th Av and 65thSt. Infill stops can be added at Cortelyou Rd and Coney Island Av and 14th Av and 63rd St(pending community input/opposition). Proposed B23 buses would run between 5am and 1am 7 days a week. Buses would run every 25min between 5-6:40am, every 15min between 6:40am and 9am. Every 20min between 9am and 2pm, every 12min between 2pm and 6:35pm, every 15min between 6:35 and 8:40pm, every 30min between 8:40pm and 10:10pm and every 45min between 10:10pm and 1am. If you would like any further details on my bus route proposals, let me know. I?ll explain in more detail. I hope that my comments are clear and that the different parts aren't too confusing. Follow the parts in numerical order for the easiest understanding. I didn't expect a character limit. -Alfred Look out for part 50 for the Q22 bus route comments.

Comment: Q22 I would leave the Q22 bus stop on Rockaway Beach Blvd and Beach 112th St to serve P.S. 047 Chris Galas, the Beacon Rehabilitation Nursing Center and the Waterside Children?s School. I would leave the Q22 bus stop on Seagirt Blvd and Camp Rd as it serves P.S./M.S. 43Q The School by the Sea, P.S. 043, the Child Center of Ny, the Church of Pentecost, Far Rockaway Assembly and the Ocean Blue Luxury Apartments. I would leave the Q22 stop on Beach 19th St and Seagirt Blvd to provide convenient access to the Long Island Ophthalmology & Eye Surgery, P. C., Transition Center, Naushir I. Lalani, DDS (Rockaway Dental Group), Jasa Israel Sr Citizens Housing, Ocean Park Apartments, Mesivta Chaim Shlomo, O?Donohue Park, Clipmode Park, Far Rockaway Skate Park, West Lawrence Care Center, Brookhaven Rehabilitation & Health Care Center, Urgent Care Far Rockaway | Far Rockaway Urgent Care | Urgent Care 11691 and the Ocean Park Drugs&Surgical Pharmacy. I would leave the Q22 bus stop on Beach 19th St and Gateway Blvd as it provides access to the Beach Gardens Rehab&Nursing Center, Bishop Charles Waldo Maclean Nursing Home, Queens Nassau Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, Rockaway Home Care - Far Rockaway Office, Rockaway Rehabilitation, the Long Island Living Center and an alternative entrance to St. John?s Episcopal Hospital. I would leave the Q22 stop on Beach 20th St and New Haven Av to serve St. Mary?s Star of the Sea Church and Peninsula Preparatory Academy as well as the Key Food Supermarket. I would leave the stop on Beach 20th St and Planview Av for the same reasons above for the Beach 19th and Seagirt Blvd stop. I would leave the Q22 stop on Seagirt Blvd at Crest Rd in the southbound direction to serve the Wavecrest Gardens Apartments. This stop can be removed (pending community input/opposition). I would keep all Q22 stops between Beach 116th St and Beach 169th St as a courtesy to the residents of Belle Harbor, Neponsit and Rockaway Park. Buses do not stop at most of these stops in both directions(because no one is there nor wants to get off), so removing these stops would do nothing to speed up bus speeds. Buses would only stop here if a person is waiting at a bus stop or if someone onboard wants to get off. Look out for part 52. Part 3 of my Q22 comments.

Comment: This is a request to reinstate the B51 bus that was discontinued many years ago. The B51 bus connected riders from downtown Brooklyn to the City Hall area. It serviced riders who made connections from other bus lines and riders with mobility problems who found riding the subway difficult. The bus was discontinued due to scheduling and poor ridership. With congestion pricing, many riders would welcome this bus to take them to lower Manhattan where they could transfer to other bus routes without having to ride the subway. Also with an influx of tourists in both areas, I feel the bus would be heavily utilized. I am a senior with osteoarthritis of the knee and would be grateful if this bus was reinstated. Please consider this.

Alt B has B71/B71-SBS buses originating on St. Marks Av at Brooklyn Av. Following Franklin Av, eastbound B71 local buses would stop at Eastern Pkwy and Nostrand Av(for the 3 train, B44 and B44-SBS), New York Av and Eastern Pkwy (at the northbound B44 bus stop), New York Av and St. John?s Pl(for the B45), New York Av and Sterling Pl, New York Av and Prospect Pl and St. Marks Av and Brooklyn Av(SW corner/terminus)(for the B43, Brooklyn Children?s Museum, Brower Park and the Brooklyn Public Library Brower Park Branch). (An infill stop can be added at Eastern Pkwy and Rogers Av(based upon feasibility and pending community input/opposition)). Westbound B71 buses using Alt B would stop at St. Marks Av and Brooklyn Av, Brooklyn Av and Park Pl, Brooklyn Av and St. John?s Pl, Eastern Pkwy and New York Av, Eastern Pkwy and Nostrand Av. Following Nostrand Av, B71 buses would follow Alt A to Red Hook/Carrol Gardens. (Infill stops can be added at Brooklyn Av and Eastern Pkwy and Eastern Pkwy and Rogers Av(based upon feasibility and pending community input/opposition). B71-SBS buses using alt B would stop at: Eastern Pkwy and Nostrand Av, New York Av and St. John?s Pl and St. Marks Av and Brooklyn Av. Westbound, B71-SBS buses would stop at St. Marks Av and Brooklyn Av, Brooklyn Av and St. John?s Pl and Eastern Pkwy and Nostrand Av. Part 56 is Part 3 of my B71 comments.

Comment: B71 Westbound B71SBS buses would stop at following Alt. A: -Bedford Av and St John?s Pl -Bedford Av and Eastern Pkwy -Eastern Pkwy and Franklin Av -Eastern Pkwy and Washington Av -Eastern Pkwy and Flatbush Av -Union St and 7th Av -Union St and 4th Av -3rd Av and 3rd St -Smith St and 2nd St -Sackett St and Henry or Clinton St(is an infill stop to serve Carroll gardens residents and the Carroll Gardens Brooklyn Public Library Branch. It can either be included or not). -Hicks St and Sackett or Carroll Sts(based upon feasibility and pending community input/opposition). -Hicks St and Woodhull St. -Trinity Pl and Rector St -Church St and Vessey St -Murray St and Church St(last stop) 15 stops westbound(including the infill stop). B71 and B71SBS buses can also use the Eastern Pkwy Service Rds(based upon feasibility). B71SBS buses following Alt C would stop at Columbia St and Sackett St only between Sackett St and Henry St and Hicks St and Woodhull St. B71SBS buses following Alt D would stop at Columbia St and Sackett St, Verona St and Richards St, Lorraine St and Columbia St and Lorraine St and Henry St. Infill stops can be added based upon feasibility and (pending community input/opposition) at Van Brunt St and Hamilton Av or Commerce St and Verona St and Van Brunt or Dwight Sts. I would recommend reconfiguring the roads and exits around Hamilton Av and Columbia St to allow eastbound B71/B71SBS buses to exit onto Columbia St at Hamilton Av (where the eastbound entrance is to I-278 East from Hamilton Av) to allow for a faster bus ride and approach to Carroll Gardens pending DOT feasibility. If the Red Hook deviation is wanted, buses would continue down to 9th St. Proposed B71/B71SBS buses would operate between 5:30am and 12am Mon-Sun. Extended to 12:30am on Saturdays. A bus would come every 25min and every 15min during peak hours. If the B71SBS alternative is chosen, B71SBS buses would operate every 25min until 7:10am(weekdays; 8am weekends) where buses would then run every 15min(weekdays; 20min weekends) until 9pm. Buses would then operate every 30min until 12/12:30am. For the proposed B71 bus, buses would only follow one alternative(A,B,C, D or E) or a combination of both.(Ie: Start using alt. B end with D), etc. Please consider reinstating this budget cut bus route. I feel that my proposed routing would offer many new connections for riders, provide similar benefits to a Red Hook subway extension and would serve many neighbourhoods as a crosstown route).

Comment: B71 Alt E(for eastbound buses) is the same as Alt B except buses use Kingston Av instead of New York Av to approach Brower Park. B71 buses using alt E would stop at: Eastern Pkwy and New York Av, Eastern Pkwy and Brooklyn(infill stop. It can either be included or not), Kingston Av and Eastern Pkwy(new stop location NEcorner), Kingston Av and St John?s Pl, Kingston Av and Kingston Av and Prospect Pl, Bergen St and Kingston Av(B65stop) and Brooklyn Av and S. Marks Av(terminus)(stop on NW corner). B71SBS buses using Alt E would stop at Kingston Av and Eastern Pkwy(NEcorner), Kingston Av and St John?s Pl and Brooklyn Av and S. Marks Av(NW corner). I opted for a more direct route to get riders to Lower Manhattan quickly, however if a Red Hook deviation is demanded by Brooklyn residents, proposed B71 buses would use one of two alternatives. Alt C doesn?t go to Red Hook, but provides a transfer opportunity to the B61 bus at Columbia St and Sackett St. Alt C buses would skip(Hicks St and Sackett St, Hicks St and Summit St or Carroll St(pending feasibility and community input/opposition). An additional stop would be added as part of alt C at Columbia St and Carroll St. Following Carroll St, B71 buses using alt. C would make all additional proposed stops to Murray St. Alt D runs into Red Hook. B71 buses using alt. D would follow alt. C?s routing to Columbia St and Summit St. Alt D buses would then follow the southbound B61 bus routing making all associated stops until Commerce St. Additional B71 bus stops would be placed at Verona St and Van Brunt St, Verona St and Richards St(for Coffey Park), Verona St and Dwight St, Lorraine St and Columbia St(at the B57/B61/proposed B27 bus stop), proposed B71 buses would make all associated B57/B61 bus stops along Lorraine St until Clinton St. B71 alt D buses would then make a left turn onto Hamilton Av and proceed to Manhattan. If the proposed B71 bus were to operate as a +select SBS route, B71-SBS buses would only stop at: -Murray St and Greenwich St -Seabring St and Van Brunt St -Columbia St and Carroll St -Union St and Smith St -Union St and 4th Av -Union St and 7th Av -Eastern Pkwy and Flatbush, Washington and Franklin Avs(3 stops) -Rogers Av and St. John?s Pl and -the final stop of Sterling Pl and Bedford Av. This is on route alternative A. 11 stops eastbound. (An infill stop can be added at the proposed B71 local bus stop on Columbia St at 9th St (pending feasibility and community input/opposition).

Comment: Dear MTA, I've been a big fan of your trains and bus routes as a transit fanner, as a rider. I wanted to say my own feedback on your B57/B62's redesign... For the B57, I do adore your route (few) improvements and it's becoming a Limited route, but a few criticisms are the terminal for the B57... honestly, people who took the (F/G) [when there are problems on the (F/G)] Lines need to take the B57 (as a life-saver) to their places like it's a complete backup route, for your IKEA/Red Hook terminal - I think that you should spare the B57 to stay at Red Hook because sometimes you might need them to go to the subway at the same time, also you got (almost every of) your LaGuardia routes that cover up Jackson Heights and its subway route (E/F/M/R & 7). The B57 should be a life-saving bus route for anybody who wanted to go to Queens or Brooklyn when they need them at a rush hour. And the B62, I do appreciate your service improvements on this route and as a Limited route! But, I have an issue why is the B62 being extended to Astoria... when you got (almost) every LaGuardia routes that cover up the route in Astoria and its subway route (N/W). The second problem is that the drivers who are being assigned to the B62 would have to deadhead ALL the way to Northern Queens (from Brooklyn) if they get called to cover another route right after or something, this probably can be a bigger problem for and as a bus operator; I think it's easier to spare the B62 to stay put at Long Island City since it's easier for a driver to deadhead a route from place to place without any problems. And as a bus rider who enjoys Grand Avenue's routes and its route... try to be a little fair for the B62 honestly, I understand how much almost every pain is (almost) every driver who operated the B62 struggles with traffic and double parking in Downtown Brooklyn when they tried to be on time and tone down the turns on that route since they could get into accidents or something. I personally enjoyed the best part of the B57 hauling on the tunnel at Flushing Avenue and the B62's Pulaski Bridge. If you can make both of these routes balanced, I would like to hear your redesign for both routes. Regards, KEVIN DING / nyc_alstomvincent4562

Comment: Please reconsider the B44 SBS having two termini on the Northern end - Flushing and Williamsburg. All B44 buses should go all the way to Williamsburg (bus depot). I use this bus route to get between crown heights and Williamsburg (the bus depot stop). If the bus frequency was high enough or anywhere near what is advertising on the bus stops, this would not be an issue. However my wait times are usually on the order of 20 minutes for a bus on both weekdays and weekends! On one saturday (July 22 2023 around 1:00PM) the wait time was over 45 minutes for the williamsburg bus!!!!!! How is that acceptable for public transportation? In that same 45 minutes 3 different B44 SBS buses ending at Flushing passed by. 45 minutes is outrageous. I would gladly take a subway instead, but that is not an option - there is no subway route connecting crown heights to Williamsburg. Yes it is great that the B44 SBS is faster because fewer stops, but waiting 45 minutes for the bus negates any benefits of the bus being faster. Also, the advertised "average frequency" times posted on the bus stops during the weekdays are 8 minutes. That is absolutely not true in my experiences taking B44SBS between williamsburg (bus depot) and crown heights. As I said, its more like 20 minutes. Maybe the fact that you have buses bunching up really throws off the average and creates a smaller average time that is not reflective of the reality. Waiting 20 minutes, just to have 2 buses show up back to back is NOT good public transportation. Please redesign this route.

Comment: I?ve been living in Bed-Stuy for about a decade now and I take the multitude of buses and trains in the area. Living here for this time, I?ve noticed how bad the traffic is in the area so my question is, how do you plan on terminating the B46 and B47 at Woodhull on Marcus Garvey Blvd while also providing through service for the B15 and B43 with all the heavy traffic that moves on Broadway as well ? The B15, B46 and B47 already have a hard time even getting down Broadway half of the time along with the amount of terminating buses just stacking up on each other at that stop. I can?t imagine a bunch of buses stopping there for their last stop on top of 2 other buses trying to continue down that same block.

Comment: The Express bus service is very important to Kensington. Since the pandemic, many people split their time between working from home and commuting to their Manhattan office. Some of us who are older and who have health concerns prefer the bus because it is easier. The proposed changes, particularly reducing service to one of the busiest stops on Ocean Parkway & Church Avenue, would be devastating. Splitting the BM3 and Bm4 lines would mean that fewer buses would stop on this corner and riders will be waiting longer. Unless the plan would increase the number of buses on each line, this would mean that there would be times during the day when many in Kensington would not have service as the BM4 does not generally operate very often during non-peak hours. I would ask the MTA to reconsider this proposal.

Comment: I'm excited by looking at the philosophy and proposed changes for the BK Bus Network Redesign Initiative. Something I wasn't fully able to grasp from the (very robust) document (full disclosure, I haven't finished all 400 pages), was the ways in which the Bus Network interface with and support the variety of other transportation networks in the city. It's good to see that Queens and BK are on speaking terms and collaborating, for sure. What I'd like to know more about is: how does the bus network mesh with the subway and with bikes? Both personal bikes and bikeshares like citibike? One of the constant thorns in the side of improving NYC's transportation network is that bikes, taxis, rideshares, bikeshares, trains, and buses all feel like completely separate entities, serving different populations for different purposes. It makes sense from a specialized silo standpoint, but to a commuter, it's confusing and unwieldy. Recently, Citibike dropped like five stations in our small area of Flatbush and PLG. Three are on bike lanes (all of them are located at the beginning/end of a bike lane), at least one is on super-busy Flatbush, with regular buses, express buses, dollar vans, and endless commercial and private traffic, and two are within throwing distance of a subway station/bus stop. I would like to understand how all of these different systems are being considered together, to create a redundant, robust, but seamless transportation experience. Also: can we get more bike racks on buses?

Comment: The b65 should continue to run along Bergen and Dean streets. There are enough buses on Atlantic Avenue and the B65 provides an important connection to the G and F train at Bergen street and Smith St. Moving this route up to Atlantic would make it in inconvenient for those who live further south. People with limited mobility will be the most affected by this change, as many bus riders choose to take the bus to minimize walking, not because it is the fastest more of transportation.

Comment: I live a block away from Vanderbilt Ave on the Clinton Hill/Fort Greene border, and I?m concerned about the proposed rerouting of the B69 bus route. I regularly take the B69 to get from my house to Dumbo, and a redesign of this route would leave me with no direct way to make this commute. The proposed B69 route is redundant of the G subway line which already connects the Park Slope area to Greenpoint and which I also use regularly to access both of these areas. Additionally, the alteration of the B48 bus route to have a terminus in Dumbo rather than Greenpoint would fail adequately connect Prospect Heights, Clinton Hill, and Fort Greene to Dumbo and would furthermore remove a vital connection between central Crown Heights to Greenpoint. I believe the B69 and B48 bus routes should be left as they are with their termini in Dumbo and Greenpoint respectively.

Comment: As a passenger on the B52, we support this new route. The right turn on to Classon and left onto Greene is one of the biggest slow downs on my route. Classon is frequently full of cars stopped at traffic lights in the morning, making it difficult to turn right. By contrast, continuing to go forward on Gates would be less congested. The bus hits the same problem again on the current route turning left on Greene - lots of cars and a difficult turn just a few blocks away. Continuing onto Gates and making just one left hand turn on Washington will speed things up quite a bit and make the commute quicker to the C Train. Thank you.

Comment: Ending the northwest bound express B103 at Flatbush Junction puts more pressure & overcrowding on the already overburdened #2/5 trains and B41 bus lines. Discontinuing southeast bound service on 4th Ave limits transit access to those who live east of 4th Ave where there are no trains. These plans also cut off a viable transit option for those of us who live in Kensington, and/or either prefer to take the bus or cannot navigate multiple staircases in the nearby train stations. Lastly, commuting on the express bus, I can participate in virtual meetings which is not an option on the subway. I STRONGLY URGE the MTA to reconsider the proposed B103 redesign.

Comment: - B13 and B20 buses not stopping around the Eldert Lane and Linden Boulevard corrider is a massive hassle for the people that have been living the the neighborhood for decades. It is a local transit hub where all the buses in the area stop and it?s a shame that they would be rerouted. Some limited B20s would be nice fir a more express seevice to Broadway Junction and as for the B13 it is rarely packed before reaching Euclid Ave. I understand that Linden Boulevard is a busy street, but it is a very known route that the B13 only takes for a short time and the B20 frequents without much busy traffic after crossing Fountain Av/Linden Boulevard. I hope y?all reconsider.

I also use it to get to and from Shore Road as well as the Belt Pkwy Promenade when it is warm outside. I was hoping this bus redesign would improve or increase service, but instead, you?re removing the bus stops closest to my home and then entirely changing the route of a bus I use regularly. It is wild that the MTA is charging $2.90 for worse service. I am considering moving to NJ where my paycheck would be taxed less.

The new B36 would be a split depot operation. The B2 should be kept! Herb

Comment: The B71 bus, which was taken out of service 13 years ago, was, and remains the best and shortest route between Columbia Waterfront, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus, Park Slope and Crown Heights and vice versa. Why the MTA can?t figure this out and actually listen to riders who ride the system is beyond me. If the B61 is the go to ?redesign? the MTA has already failed and doomed riders to a bus route that is poorly managed and takes much more time than the B71 did and could, especially with the explosive development in Gowanus. I?m ready to just give up because no one at the MTA will read this survey, or if they do it doesn?t seem to make any difference anyway.

Yes it would be a long pine, but a line serving many communities and many connections. Instead of southbound bus turning on dean st, it needs to continue on albany ave to snyder. Right turn on synder, left turn on flatbush ave, rt on cortelyou rd, into 16 ave, rt on crospey ave to va hospital. This line is now serving 3 hospitals and many train, bus connections. The B 65 bergen street bus can take over eny portion of the line as well the new b55 limited to jfk. Coming back the line can access troy ave from eny ave.

My family regularly uses these buses to commute home from Manhattan. My kids take it on the way home from school when traveling solo. The next available proposed stop is significantly further away and a hardship for youth traveling solo and seniors navigating between Manhattan and Brookyn.

Comment: Hi, Oftentimes the B64 bus timing is not in alignment with D train timing. When i get off the D train at Bay 50th, the bus has just left and therefore have to wait almost 15 minutes or more for another B64 bus. Please consider making the B64 bus time align with when the D train pulls into station so commuter can catch the bus. The same thing happens with the B82 bus where if the D train drops me off at Coney Island, the B82 bus timing is not in alignment and is missed by minutes, forcing commuters to wait for another B82 bus.

Comment: The B44 Local dumping people at Flushing Ave has never worked and will continue to strand people. It's only a few stops from the depot under the Williamsburg Bridge. What happens is the bus driver tells everyone to get off at Flushing Ave and they have to wait for the next Select Bus (do they even get a free transfer?). This route is the ONLY way to get to Williamsburg west of the Bedford subway stop. Otherwise there is no way to travel between Williamsburg and points south. Your B69 proposal does not remedy this for people east of the B69 since the route jogs wildly. In conclusion: The B44 NEEDS to continue to the depot under the Williamsburg Bridge. Flushing Ave makes NO sense as a terminus from this route.

Comment: I feel like the MTA isn?t really listening to riders about the redesign of Brooklyn routes. Sometimes it seems it would be better to not have public commentary or meetings if the MTA and it?s ?experts? are just going to redesign the bus system and disregard riders suggestions, then at least the disappointment would be less when the redesign doesn?t work. Ever since the B71 bus left Columbia Waterfront we have been cursed with the inefficient and poorly managed B61 route, which is awful for getting to Park Slope when the B71 took riders there in 12 minutes versus a minimum of 30 on the B61. Our family has bought a small economical car and will continue to use that if the B71 or equivalent is not reinstated. Sorry this comment is so negative, but it is a response to not having efficient and viable transit (bus) in Columbia Waterfront other than the B61. Why doesn?t someone respond by addressing my or other riders? concerns? Why ask for emails or phone numbers if the MTA doesn?t respond. What does the MTA do with these comments? Write or call me and explain exactly how bus transit will be improved in Columbia Waterfront w/o reinstating the B71. Thank you.

Comment: I just heard about a push to add a direct bus route from Red Hook through the tunnel to Manhattan. I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea and the MTA should add this into the Brooklyn Bus redesign. It is pretty outrageous how difficult it is to get to/from Red Hook on public transit, in particular because of the extreme traffic on Columbia St. Because of the ongoing traffic in Red Hook it takes ages to get to the subway. And a bus route through the tunnel to Manhattan is an obvious, quick fix. Please, create a bus route to Manhattan from Red Hook. This neighborhood deserves better public transit options and it has been largely ignored up to now. Thank you.

Comment: Can you share some updates on when the bus redesign will actually be implemented? I live in Park Slope and have school aged children. Midwood and Murrow High schools are currently extremely difficult to get to from our area, but if the plans for the B81 an B68 changes were implemented, both would become far more accessible. It would be helpful to parents looking at both high schools to have a sense of the timing. Are these changes going to happen within a year? 5 years? 10 years? The initiative is very vague on timeline so please provide more concrete information to temper expectations.

Comment: I do not think the changes suggested in this proposal do much to address the problems I have that keep me from relying on MTA bus service. I live in the Columbia Street Waterfront District in Brooklyn and primarily ride the B61 bus, and my comments will pertain mostly to service to my neighborhood. The route of the B61 takes it directly through a heavy traffic bottleneck during peak periods: where Atlantic Avenue and Columbia Street meet the Brooklyn Queens Expressway at Exit 27. During peak hours on weekdays, traffic on Columbia Street heading towards Atlantic Avenue backs up almost as far as Hamilton Avenue, and traffic on Atlantic Avenue heading towards Columbia Street backs up at least as far as Boreum Place (where the B61 turns onto the street) if not farther. This kills the reliability of the line during rush hours. It doesn't matter how many buses the MTA runs if they all back up in the same traffic jam near the northern end of the line. The bus redesign plan does nothing to address this issue, keeping the B61 route virtually unchanged. Even if traffic congestion wasn't an issue, the MTA doesn't run enough buses on the line, especially outside of peak periods, which makes the line unreliable for me during evenings and on weekends when traffic congestion is low, and the proposed plan not only doesn't increase service frequency: it slightly decreases it. 11 minute being the most frequent headway during peak periods is not very good, and after 8 pm or on Sundays (times when I often have to commute as my job days/hours are variable) 20 minute headways make the B61 simply an unattractive option compared to taking my bike or even walking. Sometimes it is faster to walk half an hour home from Downtown Brooklyn than to wait for the B61. These issues wouldn't be as big if my neighborhood had any other direct public transportation links, but it does not. The closest other bus route is the B57 on Court and Smith Streets, and the closest subway line is the F and G trains on Smith Street, about a 15 minute walk away. Before 2010, my neighborhood had one additional bus connection, the B71 via Union Street and Sackett Street, but that route was discontinued during the MTA's 2010 budget crisis. A bus corridor along Union Street would provide a direct connection to the F and G trains at Smith Street, as well as a more direct connection to Park Slope than the B61 provides, but this plan continues to leave a Union Street-shaped hole in the bus network.

Comment: Thank you for the draft plan for the change of the b16 bus route, we are very excited about this change because we will be able to transfer to the f train which we ride frequently. And another thing, that it won't be turn as much in those narrow streets which can a lot of time congested and disturb the bus from turning or just traffic. Looking forward for the change I hope it will happen soon

Comment: This redesign privileges the able-bodied. Increasing the distance between stops puts a hardship on people with disabilities who currently ride public buses, which are far more reliable and accessible than access-a-ride. As one such rider, I implore you to consider adding a stop on the B-52 near Carlton Ave. or keeping the stop at Carlton Ave. on the B38. The distance to my home from the proposed stops is too far to walk on crutches. I am sure I am not the only person in this situation, and probably there are people with disabilities who will be impacted by all bus stops that are being removed. The subways are not a viable option for people with mobility issues because most stations in Brooklyn and many in Manhattan do not have elevators. Access-a-ride is not an option for anyone who needs to keep to a schedule.

Comment: As a resident of Red Hook my only suggestion with the proposed new bus routes would be the usage of familiar route numbers. The B27 can easily revert back to the B75 since it ran up and down court and smith streets respectively. And for the B81 it can be changed to the B77 because once again it covers the entire route that bus once ran. That?s it just customer familiarity. Everything else I?m in agreement with.

Comment: I am an older adult and am a customer on the B103 bus line boarding at Cortelyou Rd and E19th Street exiting at Livingston st and Hoyt. The rerouting of the B103 will put me back on the Q Train at Cortelyou Rd. Exiting at Atlantic Ave. When exiting I use 3 elevators to leave the subway system. The Subway stairs is what drove me to the bus in the first place, it was perfect. My arthritic knees feel so much better since I?ve been taking the B103, it?s been over 2 years. The redesign of the B103 line has set me back and I feel very disappointed.

Comment: There has to be more reliable and more frequent bus service between Brooklyn and Staten Island. Currently only the s53 is 24 hours. The S79 should be 24 hours and run every 30 minutes to provide an option for us to travel without car. Brooklyn buses should also go into Staten island. A bus line like b8 should start by the flatbush junction by the 2 and 5 lines. N continue making limited stops along all the way to ETC in Staten island. It would serve all train stations and major hubs and Should be 24 hours. Minimum every 30 minutes over night. This provides a much needed service for us to go to work or home.

Comment: Move B11 section between McDonald Av and Coney Island Av to Foster Ave from Av I. Reason: more buisinesses and publuic services (schools and houses of worship at/near Foster Av than the residential area on Av I). Also, make cerain that all bus stops have traffic lights (B6 at E. 45 Street), seating and enclosures. Reason: safety and weather issues.

The eastbound B6 after Albany ave, needs to run eastbound on Ave H , which turns into Glenwwod rd and continue to cozine to new lots train station. Westbound needs to go via cozine, glenwood rd...make a bus wayfor one block after rockaway pkwy to E96 st, right on E96 st, left on farragut rd, which turns into glenwood rd and the continue regular route....by making it oneway in each of those directions will make the flow of traffic easier and less congestion on flatlands ave

The people who live on Gates do not want this and nor due the older communities serviced on Greene. I have never seen such a public showing to OPPOSE as I did at the last community meeting. The Bus Stop on Gates/Classon is already disgusting, littered with trash, heroin addicts hanging out and few actual riders. Want to improve the B52? Cut down on the non-stop service that causes 3-4 buses to be empty and back to back. NO TO REROUTING THIS LINE and introducing 2-way traffic ON GATES!

Comment: It would be good to space out the bus stops a little more. Frequent starts and stops makes busses feel slower. Also, it would be a good idea to have more bus routes that directly connect south Brooklyn(Coney Island, Bensonhurts, Fort Hamilton, etc) to North Brooklyn(Bushwick, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, etc). Currently, the trips from north to south require multiple bus transfers or taking the subway into Manhattan.

Comment: I am commenting on the B49 re-route plan. I agree that the service will be improved by moving the southbound B49 off of Bedford Ave. I think that putting the southbound B49 and B44 on Nostrand Ave will put too much service on that one street and reduce the service between Flatbush and Nostrand unnecessarily. Please consider the feasibility of creating a southbound bus only lane on Rogers for the brief length the B49 currently traveled on Bedford. This would keep southbound service closer to the existing service and improve the timeliness of the route by having a dedicated lane. Thank you for your hard work improving bus service for those of us who do not live close to subway stations.

We here in cypress hills would love a better connection to ridgewood and bushwick and bus access would alleviate some of the awful parking situation at the reservoir. It would increase park access, attendance, and therefore safety in the long run. So many people support the reroute around here it is crazy. The current b13 only seems to serve dead people lol. Yes!

Comment: Hello, I have been looking into our recent Queens Bus Network Redesign Final and looked more into this route. I really think it is a good idea merging the existing B35 LTD route and the B15 route with a more efficient SBS service. However, I still don't think it is a great idea letting it run along the New Lots Avenue corridor. Considering that the B55 would need to be long in length just like the existing B35 LTD, I think it would be much better for it to serve Linden Blvd between Church Avenue and JFK Airport. With the bus being dedicated to Linden Blvd, it allows for a couple of things, giving local B35 and B15 busses the right of way instead of diminishing their service to enhance B55 service. This would also eliminate a difficult turn at the intersection of East 98 St and Church Avenue which currently causes buildup of traffic, time consumed as well as potientally holding up B15 busses that continue along East 98 St. B55 buses will be much more able to make a turn at the intersection between Church Avenue and Linden Blvd due to designated traffic light as well as a designated lane to turn that the B8 currently does along its route. With the B55 predominantly on Linden Blvd, it eliminates a common holdup in traffic approaching the New Lots Avenue L Train station. I understand that this plan would eliminate the direction connection between the New Lots Avenue 3 Train station and their riders for JFK Airport. To solve that issue, we can also consider one of the projects discussed in the capital plan where we extend the 3 Train to Spring Creek but without even doing all that and utilizing our existing Linden Yard and possibly expanding the yard and also turning some of the yard into a station similar to the 3 trains' other terminus in Lenox Terminal, we can solve those issues as well. Overall, I feel that the B55 will prosper if begins its Linden Blvd route a lot earlier while also introducing better transfers to other bus routes like the B13, B14, B20, the newly proposed B76, B83 and can also be seen as a common transfer route for passengers coming from Spring Creek and their bus routes. Thank you for your time and listening.

Comment: Good day, I am submitting a comment in regards to the B13 proposal plan. I understand that the new proposal will completely scrap the bus routes alongside Glendale entirely. As a lifelong resident of Glendale for 35 years, this proposal will not be good for the Ridgewood/Glendale residents at all. There are many people here that rely on this bus. The only other bus we have to get to a train station is the Q55. Sometimes, we take the B13 if we miss the Q55 or if the Q55 is not coming at all. If we don?t have the B13, residents would either have to take an uber/lyft to the train station or walk to the M station and many residents do not have the capabilities nor the funds for this alternative arrangement. I am satisfied with the B13 the way it is and so are many of the Glendale/Ridgewood residents that live here. Removing it would be detriment to the people who live here who are already living here with limited transportation options. Please reconsider this proposal and think about the residents who are already satisfied with the B13. Thank you. Tinamarie Amore

If I had to take the subway it would add almost 40 minutes to my commute each way and have to take 3 subways one of which id have to walk out of the station to another to make the transfer in East NY. I implore that this proposal be revised to keep the original route

Comment: I live in the Gateway Center Mall area with a couple of concerns after looking at the new December 2023 revision of the Queens Bus Redesign. First, the original Q51 route from the Brooklyn Bus Redesign plan from 2022 had the route run from Gateway Center to Cambria Heights. From the December 2023 Queens Final Plan, the Q51 has been shortened, now running from Rockaway Blvd to Cambria Heights. Why was the connection to Gateway Center removed? It can run to Gateway Center while still having a connection to the Rockaway Blvd A train station. With the Q8 bus also removed, there appears to be no way to get to the east from Gateway Mall. Riding the B13 bus all the way north to the J train is inefficient, as the J train has bad frequencies and that B13 bus ride is long enough. The Q51 looks wise would be a much faster ride to get to the east from Gateway Mall, running along Belt Parkway for over a mile. Additionally, it would be able to use the existing bus lanes on Cross Bay Blvd that the Q52 and Q53 Select Bus Services use already. The Q51 only has 15 stops from Gateway Center to Cambria Heights, which gives it an impressive average 3,000-foot distance between stops. Riders in the Cambria Heights area have the Q4 as well, and it has been upgraded to a "Rush" route, being able to get to the Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer station and the Rockaway Blvd station with the Q51. Next, I'd like to address the B5 route, which is just a B6 to Gateway Mall. The issue with this: there are three different variants of the B6 route, which just is strange. Why can't there be just one or two routes? The B6 local oddly ends at Canarsie station, which already bothered me. I know the B103 has been proposed to run to New Lots Av station, but that's only for the connection to Canarsie and doesn't help Gateway residents. I think the B82 bus should run to Gateway Mall. It can easily get there by following the existing B83 path, and if needed, the B83 can be shorted to Seaview, the B82 SBS's terminal. This is a much better attempt at a crosstown line, running on Belt Pkwy straight to Pennsylvania Av with minimal stops, and also going to Canarsie station. On the other hand, the B5 loops around going via Erskine St and running via Flatlands. I can walk from the Gateway Center/Gateway Dr terminal to Cozine Av/Jerome and beat the B5 there if we leave simultaneously. B6 LTD should run to New Lots, and the B103 can serve Flatlands and end at Fountain, by the depot it uses. Thank you.

Comment: On the Q54 line going west, it is a bad idea to remove the Woodhaven boulevard and Alderton st. stop. The Woodhaven and Metropolitan avenue stop will get more congested. It is near homes and also causes us home owners to get tickets from sanitation because of peoples trash. They also recently added a traffic light near Metropolitan avenue and Aubrey ave., so the Q54 stop near there backs up traffic.

Comment: With regards to service in the Marine Park area, the removal of the B2 and the removal of stops on the B100 seem sensible, although the end result is most of the Marine park neighborhood will now be loaded onto the B100. The B100 is already packed in the AM and PM with everyone trying to get to and from the BQ kings highway station, so this change would need to be accompanied by more frequent B100 service. I suggest that the B100 frequency be updated to Midwood from 6-9am every 4-5 minutes instead of every 4-6 minutes (adding only one or two extra runs) and every 7-10 minutes from 9-10:30 instead of every 15 minutes (adding a few more runs), when many still use the B2 to take their children to daycare or still commute to work during that time. Service to mill basin in the PM is already what I would expect though would be reasonable to expect more local stops (and fewer removed) when going back home, though I would understand if that would be too confusing for riders. Thanks for taking the time to collect and read feedback and feel free to reach out if I can provide additional input: [email protected].

Comment: Hello, overall I support your plan for the Brooklyn bus redesign, but one thing I would love to see is an east-west bus route linking Cobble Hill & Carroll Gardens, Gowanus, Park Slope, etc. with Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, etc. It is currently very difficult to use public transit between these two areas: you either have to take the F/G to the R to the 2/3, or the G to Hoyt, then exit the system to get on the 2/3 (incidentally, there should be a tunnel here, or the transfer should be free!), or take two separate buses, to downtown Brooklyn, etc. I usually bike, which takes 10 minutes. On public transit, because of the roundabout way you have to go, it takes nearly 45 minutes. These areas are not even that far apart, and it seems trivial to add a bus route down, say, Union St. This would be a really really big help for those of us living in these neighborhoods and traveling between them who do not own cars. Thank you.

Comment: I live in Ozone Park Queens and take the BM5 on Crossbay & Pitkin Ave. While I do not see redesign for the route (which is fine, as I like the route). However I would like to raise that the frequency of this bus is very poor. In the morning I have only 3 scheduled buses (5:48am, 6:22am and 6:52am) in order to get to work on time. The bus is late daily, always packed and in some instances there are riders that have to stand as the bus approaches the Long Island Expressway. I feel the MTA should disperse more buses on this line to alleviate the congestion.

Comment: This may be a lesser issue, but just for the sake of uniformity and clarity across the system can certain routes that have the same number for both a local and limited option receive separate route numbers instead? Such as the B6/B6 LTD, one of which should be renamed for greater clarity. It is not always easy to tell the two apart.

Comment: What is status of comments for 2023 Brooklyn Bus Redesign, particularly Retaining the B103 route from Canarsie to Downtown Brooklyn. Reroute B103 to put bus stop at E105 and Farragut Rd. closer to ?L? subway line. Retain BM2 weekend service to downtown add at min. one stop downtown to proposed BM32. Thanks

Comment: Why has the B103 route been truncated at Midwood rather than continuing on to downtown Brooklyn? this has been a fast connection between my neighbhorhood south of the park and points along the stretch of 4th ave between the prospect expressway and downtown. Based on the new network it appears I would now take the B81 local bus to the R at 4th/9th - switching from one LTD bus to a bus that appears to make a LOT of stops plus a transfer to a train that frankly isn't know for high frequency will significantly increase the trip time. This route is useful in reaching points south of downtown and frankly in going downtown given the frequent service suspension on the Q train north of prospect park during nights and weekends, times when people still go places. The B103 has been a regular band-aid in making up that service in addition to serving as a connection to gowanus for my household.

Comment: I don?t like how the Q51 will go to Rockaway Blvd instead of gateway mall, I also don?t like the B5 will go via the B6 route, there should be a B114 SBS route that will go to gateway mall to downtown Brooklyn, this is a faster connection to the city, and since the Q8 won?t go to gateway mall anymore, you guys should make the Q112 to gateway mall since the Q8 will go to new lots avenue station, and a route that would be called Q109 that will go to Gateway mall to the Rockaways so people from gateway mall can go to the beach, and a new route called the B23/LTD that will go to gateway mall to Atlantic Avenue Barclays Center

Comment: Good morning- I am thankful to have the express bus service so close to where I live, however I do have a couple of complaints regarding the service. 1) There seems to be three X27 for every one X37, I find myself waiting for the X37 while the X27 bus keeps coming 2) There is barely any buses to NYC outside of work hours, Friday evening barely has any routes I appreciate the service and your time, hopefully my feedback is considered

Comment: I am not in agreement with the proposal to move the B65 down Atlantic Avenue after Washington Avenue. Many middle school and elderly people currently take the B65 and making them have to cross the 4 lanes of Atlantic Avenue to get to their bus stop is just not ideal, to say the least. For persons with disabilities, the B65 is the only bus route that cuts in the E/W direction across Prospect Heights and Park Slope. In addition, traffic at the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush is frequently backed up and would only slow the B65 service further. When forced to take the B45 because of delays on the B65, I'm often late because of this intersection. I urge you to reconsider this design.

Comment: Hi. I travel to and through Bklyn on occasions. I love what you've done and what your doing. But could it be possible to advertise the best apps to use when traveling with MTA? Also the B12 needs an up grade like a limited bus like the B44, and since we're on the subject of improving commutes the 52 Limited would be nice as well. Like fast ways to the Malls' people travel on off days too. I mostly use the Q52 & Q53 bus routes I very happy that these buses a around and hope they stay around thank you very much MTA.

Comment: B13: This rerouting would supposedly provide desired access to the Ridgewood Reservoir, however, there are multiple problems with this plan. ? First, this idea was proposed by bicycle activists, not bus commuters. ? It eliminates bus service for Liberty Park. ? Highland Blvd prohibits all but passenger cars and may not be safe for regular bus traffic. ? There are speed humps on Highland Blvd. These are prohibited along bus routes. It would be a bad idea to remove them. ? There is no room along Vermont Place for the bus to pull over. Installing a stop here would either require a costly redesign with destruction of parkland or have the bus come to a dead stop in the middle of the road backing up traffic. A better option to provide bus service to the reservoir might be to leave the route along Cypress Hills Street and add a bus stop south of the Jackie Robinson Parkway to eliminate pedestrians crossing over the highway. It?s a 5-minute walk from there to the reservoir?s northern entrance. B38: The MTA claims that the discontinued Metro Ave branch of the B38 would be ?served? by the two other bus lines that it currently connects with. The B38 provides more frequent service than the B57 does to western Maspeth residents. The Q54 along Metro Ave and the B57 along Flushing Ave will not be rerouted to cover parts of this route should this proposed change take effect. This branch serves the Linden Hill section of the area, so named because it?s on a giant hill ? one that?s difficult to ascend. It also serves hundreds of students at Grover Cleveland High School as well as visitors to Grover Cleveland Park and Linden Hill Cemetery. Eliminating this segment is just a bad idea. We hope that the MTA continues to hear the community and that this process ends in a more efficient and reliable system for those who rely on MTA bus service. Thank you.

Comment: For the 38, I oppose removing the limited service and replacing with local only with fewer stops than current but still more than the limited and would support to maintaining the current route limited and local routes. The current local with many stops is great for seniors because it limits their walking to a stop (would be nearly doubled in proposed plan) so that is needed as is. The current limited is great for folks going long distances who are willing/able to walk a bit farther to skip stops on the route and have a faster ride. The limited is especially ideal because it skips the majority of the Clinton Hill stops which is a long and traffic heavy stretch to get downtown where most rider are originating or going. Skipping those stops nearly completely is ideal because there is rarely more than 1 person boarding or leaving at those stops but the delays for that person on getting downtown/east nearly double the length of the ride given traffic to merge in an out for each stop. Currently folks who want those stops can choose a local but folks who are going farther can opt out on a limited. The proposed plan though reducing stops would not provide the same efficiency as the limited.

Comment: 1/2 Good morning. I am submitting this comment on the bus network redesign, with a focus on changes to the B62 and B32, as a resident of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I am in my mid-20s and for years, I have taken either the B32 or B62 from northern Greenpoint into Long Island City as part of my commute into midtown. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and hard work that has gone into the redesign, and I recognize that considered efforts were made to improve service on high-traffic streets such as McGuinness Boulevard. However, the current status of traffic safety on McGuinness Boulevard is precisely why I am submitting a comment. To make my position clear, I am fully supportive of the city?s efforts to make McGuinness more safe for pedestrian traffic, including whatever steps deemed necessary to implement a ?road diet.? Unfortunately, I am concerned that directing a high volume of pedestrian traffic from bus passengers will put innocent riders into harm?s way. The risks to pedestrians on McGuinness Boulevard are not being addressed quickly enough to justify adding bus service on McGuinness yet. The MTA Bus Network has much to celebrate with their current coverage in northern Brooklyn. I?ve found that the bus service is quicker and more reliable than the G train, and I am part of an often bespoke community of bus riders that feel similarly. What the MTA may have missed in their approach to redesigning bus service in Greenpoint is intimate knowledge of the community?s approach to pedestrian-friendly north-to-south streets. It?s fairly straightforward: Franklin and Manhattan (and West) are pedestrian friendly, McGuinness is not. On more pedestrian-friendly streets, such as Manhattan and Franklin, you can expect bus service, with the local B32 that picks up passengers on the quieter Franklin Street often serving as cleanup for the B62.

Comment: 2/2 McGuinness Boulevard is ultimately not the right fit for where to redirect the B62 ? it is risky, logistically challenging, and doesn?t provide a clear or meaningful improvement to B62 service. To usher this bloc of bus riders eastward to cross McGuinness Boulevard every day engenders a significant amount of risk. There are also logistical constraints with building out safe bus stops on McGuinness. I have celebrated the significant progress the city has made to build protected bike lanes on McGuinness. However, these safety milestones are at risk of getting undermined by weaving in bus traffic through these protected bike lanes. Placing bus stops on the center median of McGuinness would require many years of construction, and would be building out a potentially infeasible and ultimately unnecessary solution. Having reviewed the extensive Draft Plan proposed by the MTA, I recognize the competing goals of providing ample routes and providing a high frequency of buses. If the B32 is deemed extraneous in pursuit of providing a higher frequency of buses along the B62 route, I suspect that the community will eventually be able to accept this change. (And to that end, I hope sufficient investments are made in coordinating dispatching to reliably deliver better frequencies.) However, where I think the MTA goes too far is in selecting McGuinness Boulevard over Manhattan Avenue for the northbound ?corridor? that connects this segment of Brooklyn to Queens. Maintaining B62 service along Manhattan Avenue is far better, for the aforementioned reasons. The ongoing traffic safety issues on McGuinness make it an inhospitable environment for bus riders and provide insufficient advantages to justify the challenges associated with implementing the switch.

Comment: I believe there should be a express brooklyn bus or limited bus that goes into Staten island, especially the major transfer points. There is no ferry between Brooklyn and Staten island. There is a lot of customers that travel between Brooklyn and Staten island. Staten island population is no longer under 1 million like it used to me. Also there should be a B8 limited bus for faster travel times. It takes nearly 45 minutes to get from 92 St and fort Hamilton Pkwy to McDonald ave via bus. Its about a 15 to 20 minute drive. So please take this into consideration. Thanks

Comment: Interborough: Queens-Brooklyn - Route: Proposed Q68 | Proposal: Terminate northern end at 74th St / Roosevelt Av - Jackson Heights Terminal via 75th St | Reasoning: The current proposed terminus is Elmhurst Hospital. Having a bus route that connects 74th St / Roosevelt Av - Jackson Heights, a major transit hub in Queens, with Williamsburg Bridge Plaza via East Williamsburg may serve as both a good alternate to the G line and the current B24 bus. - Route: Proposed B53 | Proposal: Terminate the southern end at Williamsburg Bridge Plaza rather than East New York-Broadway Junction and terminate the northern end at 61st St - Woodside OR 74th St / Roosevelt Av - Jackson Heights OR current Sunnyside proposal | Reasoning: A longer route will increase wait times, especially if such a bus were to use Broadway in Brooklyn, a constantly congested thoroughfare. Shortening this route to Williamsburg Bridge Plaza will reduce bus wait times and better serve the communities of Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Sunnyside, and possibly Woodside and/or Jackson Heights with a connection to LaGuardia Airport and points east in Queens, as Greenpoint Av is Roosevelt Av east of Queens Bl. Interborough: Brooklyn-Manhattan - Route: B39 | Proposal: Extend to East New York-Broadway Junction | Reasoning: The current B39 only has 6 stops total - it solely runs across the Williamsburg Bridge as a shuttle and alternates to the J, M, and Z lines. Therefore, it may better serve Brooklyn by following the proposed B53 route and extending past Williamsburg to East New York-Broadway Junction via Broadway, therefore truly serving as an alternate to the J, and Z lines. This appears to be a very lightly used route and can benefit from extending to serve more areas in Brooklyn. Passengers can still transfer at Williamsburg Bridge Plaza for connections to Queens.

Comment: Hello, As a regular user of the B103 that lives in Kensington/Windsor Terrace, I am requesting that the B103 line's express service be maintained. It is the quickest, most efficient way for people living in Kensington/Windsor Terrace to reach or return home from Downtown Brooklyn destinations like Atlantic Terminal. I also frequently take it as a back up if subway service on the F/G is not running correctly. I also use the bus for grocery shopping, and enjoy that I don't have to lug my groceries up multiple flights of stairs at the 4&9th station, which is my subway alternative. The redesign would no longer have any buses use the Prospect Expressway to shorten their trips, which seems like a missed opportunity to reduce travel times to and from Downtown Brooklyn for people in central Brooklyn, and Canarsie. Thank you for your consideration. Rachael

Comment: My comment is about the rerouting of the B49 from its current alignment along Bedford to Nostrand and New York. While the shift may speed up wait times along the route but moves coverage away from key landmarks along Medgar Evers College and Ebbets Field. These are key points of interest that bring hundreds of riders to the line and provides a bus to many of the seniors at Ebbets Field. I would recommend that the bus route remain on Bedford and to move east after Empire Blvd. before it continues on its proposed alignment. It would connect these seniors with a one seat ride to Kings County Hospital Center and the local post office.

Comment: As part of the Queens Bus Network Redesign Proposed Final Plan released 12/12/2023 the Q51 route was cut back from the Gateway Center Mall in Brooklyn to the Rockaway Blvd. Subway Station in Ozone Park plus the route frequency was cut as well as converting the route from an SBS/Crosstown route to now a limited route. I believe the Q51 route still needs to till travel to the Gateway Center Mall in Brooklyn but have another routing path via North Conduit Avenue(w/b) & South Conduit Avenue (e/b), Linden Blvd., Fountain Avenue & Gateway Drive. This revised routing will also provide access to the Linden Center Mall as well located at 79th Street/Linden Blvd. as well. (Please note the w/b direction the Q51 could travel into the center lanes of Linden Blvd. after stopping at the Eldert Lane stop to make a left turn at Fountain Avenue.) I'm sending this information through this forum because the Queens Bus Network Redesign Contact page cannot accept files as I have a PDF file showing the suggested routing. It is also important that the frequency of this new route be increased to a minimum of every eight minutes during the rush hours and every ten minutes at most other times except overnight which could be every twenty minutes including extending the operating hours to 24/7 as this route will primarily be a feeder route connecting riders from one route to another route or to the subway. This route should also allow riders that transfer to it from a bus or from the subway to be able to transfer again to another route or to the subway. as this would allow greater flexibility for riders wanting to transfer to this route to access another adjacent route to a desired subway or to a desired bus line pus increase transit accessibility by bus between Brooklyn & Queens. The MTA needs to put more funding into this route as it would reduce some automobile travel thus reduce pollution.

Most Coney Islanders are mass transit users, and a good deal have limited mobility (canes, wheelchairs, infant strollers). Coney Island Tax payers are not due the short end of the stick in getting services taken away, when in fact we need MORE express bus service that comes over the Cropsey Bridge -- and does not end before entering our community in Bensonhurst leaving us to wait for a bus that usually comes once an hour to get into Coney Island, only then to take another bus to get home. It's incomprehensible to me how we need less service, when we indeed need more -particularly for our seniors and children. NO REDUCTIONS IN SERVICE! INCREASE EXPRESS BUS SERVICE NOW!

Comment: Restore the B71 (Union Street, Eastern Parkway Crosstown). Instead of terminating at Rogers Avenue, it could be extended to Broadway Jct., providing residents of Gowanus and Carroll Gardens connections to the (A)(C)(J)(L)(Z) Trains, and buses to Queens. On the day of the West Indian Day Parade, service would be rerouted via Union Street Eastbound and President Street Westbound. Another route that should be restored is the B23 (Cortelyou Road Local, 16th Avenue), but instead of terminating at the New Utrecht Avenue-62nd Street (D)(N), extend it to Shore Road via 86th Street, and 4th Avenue. In doing so, the B23 would directly serve the 71st Street Station on the (D) Line. Another proposal would be to extend it's eastern end to directly serve the Beverly Road (2)(5) Station.

Comment: The proposal to re-route BM1, BM2, BM3, and BM4 buses down Beverley Road instead of Cortelyou Road is incredibly misguided. I take a BM bus every workday morning from the Cortelyou & Stratford Road stop to my office in Manhattan at Broadway & Vesey St (I get off the bus at Church St & Barclay St). The buses move quite well up and down Cortelyou, even when there are double parked vehicles, including delivery trucks (I question whether the speed of the buses has been measured?). Beverley Road is significantly narrower than Cortelyou Road, and it is without question the buses will move at slower speeds on Beverley (will you then go back to Cortelyou?). Also, the turns for the buses onto and off of Coney Island Avenue will be no easier at Beverley than they are at Cortelyou. But more importantly, most of the morning passengers who get on the BM buses on Cortelyou come from the east, west, or south. They do not come from the north. Indeed, there are far fewer people to the north. To the north are the Parade Grounds and Prospect Park. So, you will lose many riders in the BM buses go down Beverley. This is a guaranty. I walk from Westminster Rd & Ditmas Ave to the bus stop on Cortelyou. If you move the buses to Beverley, you lose me. It would be too far and not time effective for me to walk to Beverley. Beverley is like 2 long blocks to the north of Cortelyou. I have also heard that it is proposed that the downtown BM buses would go north from the Battery along Water Street, instead of along Church Street. If you do that, you will lose ALL the riders (including me) who get off on Church St (at Rector, Liberty & Barclay). And I mean ALL. The people who get off at these stops are not going to walk west from Water St. If you believe there are riders who need service to Water St, then create a separate bus line. I am really having a hard time understanding what the goal(s) is/are here for these changes to the BM bus routes. With all due respect, they have not been thought out well. It's not broken. Don't fix it. Thank you.

Comment: I am concerned about the elimination of the express bus service on Saturdays along with the reduction of service during the week. With congestion pricing going into place, I do not understand why public transportation is being eliminated rather than improving the structures currently in place to serve the needs of people that live in "Southern Brooklyn". The majority of us live in what is a "two-fare zone" which results in us having to take a bus ride to a train to get into Manhattan. The express bus provides a quick service to access Manhattan in a way that the subway does not always provide living in an outer-borough.

Comment: Hi. I heard this plan includes a reduction in service for the b82 bus ? that?s insane. I work all over the borough, so rely heavily on many buses to get me around. The B82 is consistently the most crowded by far, I was hoping the redesign would actually include MORE b82 buses, not less. There have been many days where I?ve had to wait over half an hour because the buses that come every 12 min or whatever are too crowded to board. South and east Brooklyn always get the short end of the stick when it comes to transit ? this bus connects countless areas that don?t have trains and is already not enough. The b82 bus is a lifeline for all of the neighborhoods along its route, and that?s reflected by the fact that it?s highly occupied at every hour of the day. I?m appalled that reducing service on this line and along this corridor was even considered, let alone proposed. Born and raised brooklynites are being pushed further and further out into the borough, please don?t make it even harder for us to get around and live in the city we?re from by reducing service on a vital transit line we rely on. Please listen to us.

Comment: The B8 route needs major service improvements. There has to be a limited B8 all along the route. And it should not terminate at the VA hospital at all. Because majority of people have to get to 92nd st for Staten island buses. Things have changed significantly. It's a lot more people going into Staten island for various reasons. A limited B8 would stop at all transfer points either to another bus or train. That would greatly help ridership and traveling times along the route. The constant bunching and missing buses.

Comment: B13 bus redesign route removing Erskine & Vandalia stop does not make sense. There are new project developments in the area where we already have to walk long block at nigh alone with no illumination on the bus stops and the stops are far away from each other. And taking away q8 bus also from this stop is really not going to work for residents. I have actually made request to add stops along Erskine Street, no one lives on Seaview that street does not have not even one apartment or house is grassland and water.

Comment: The elimination of the express bus on Saturday?s particularly when congestion pricing is being implemented does not help people that live in the outer boroughs. The BM4 provides service to the city when the Q train is not running on the weekend which is happening during several weekends in March 2024. There is no other transportation for people from Mill Basin, Gerritsen Beach and Homecrest to access the city without the express bus on Saturdays. If ridership is low coming back to Brooklyn on Saturdays, the times can be every 2 hours instead of hour. This past Saturday there were over 27 people on the BM4 since there was no Q train service on Saturday, March 16th

The B train doesn?t run on the weekends and the Q train is always undergoing maintenance therefore not running and eliminating all routes from south Brooklyn into manhattan.

Comment: The bus stops that run along Halsey st do not need to be placed further apart because most of the people who take the buses in "least used" areas are children and the elderly. Specifically beginning at Halsey and broadway and stretching to Halsey and Nostrand. The blocks that make up Halsey st. are very long blocks which basically combines two blocks into one and it would be inhumane to force people to walk basically 4 blocks (2 xl blocks) to catch the needed bus. This is the reason that currently along the route there are two bus stops along each cross streets. One at the beginning of the block and one at the beginning corner of the next block. Drivers continue to drive past people who need to get on the bus daily and removing stops from the route will 100% make that ten times worse. Halsey St. also does not have heavy foot traffic in the evening. Removing and making bus stops "further apart" will cause crimes to rise along the entire Halsey st route being that people will be forced to walk longer distances to their destinations in the dark. Every single stop currently on the route is an "important" stop being that the people who mainly take the B26 are residents of HALSEY STREET. It is safer and more convenient for people who live along this route to have access to bus stops available on their blocks vs 3-4 block walk when they get off at their stops.

Comment: I think the B65 would serve the public much better it it were re-routed to Atlantic Ave. I am a 25 year Bergen St resident and frequently use the B65. That said, the bus rarely picks up any passengers along the four or five block stretch near me. The road is narrow and already congested. The right turn onto Smith is hazardous and awkward. The bus should be on a route where more passengers will use it.

Comment: B62 - proposed route eliminates easy commutes between Greenpoint and LIC. Doubling stop spacing doesn?t confer any benefit as walks to get to stops are much longer. Elderly people are negatively impacted. The only stop between LIC and Greenpoint Ave is on McGuiness blvd at Freeman st - you cannot cross McGuiness here - there is no pedestrian crossing. Getting to Franklin Ave (NYU Langone clinics located here) is also a problem with elimination of B32 and rerouting of B62 to McGuiness combined with increased stop spacing on B62. Many of us will stop using public transportation and rely on Uber/Lyft or private cars. Please consider routing B62 on Manhattan Ave to make access to Franklin and Box st easier, as well as reducing stop spacing.

Comment: B35 Bus: Please make the B35 bus SBS and have it run from Sunset Park 1 Ave to the New Lots Avenue (L) train station in Brownsville. Currently, commuters have to walk 10 minutes from the B35's current Mother Gaston Blvd terminus to the station or transfer to the B-15 bus (which would mean another fare to board the L train). Please extend the B-12 bus' Lefferts Gardens terminus from Parkside/Ocean Ave to Ocean Ave/Empire Blvd where the B16 terminates. Currently commuters have to walk the massive block (the equivalent of 8 blocks on Flatbush Ave) to get from Parkside Ave to Lincoln Rd where the B/Q Prospect Park station is. This extension would give commuters a one-seat ride up that long block which is poorly served by the infrequent B16 bus. Please return limited stop service along the b44 on New York Avenue. It's a great alternative to 2/5 trains service and prevents commuters traversing all the way to Rogers Ave for B44 SBS service.

Comment: Eliminating the B65 along Bergen Street from Park Slope to Smith Street is a significant disservice to the large number of people, many of us seniors, who depend on that route to reach the subway. There is no alternative that crosses Brooklyn south of Bergen in this neighborhood, and walking to Atlantic Avenue (where there is already ample bus service) adds many blocks for those of us seniors least able to walk safely, constantly at risk from bikes speeding the wrong way and through red lights. Please reconsider this change due to the serious negative impact it would have on a vulnerable population. The alternative- driving- will also become untenable due to the charges for congestion pricing, already significantly impacting the senior population that cannot possibly bike from Brooklyn to Manhattan museums, theater, etc. We rely on the B65 for safe passage to the subway.

Comment: The new suggested bus design for the B103 is so wrong and will not service the residents of Canarsie as it should. Rather than extending ?our? B103 to East NY, let the B 6 local continue to East NY rather than ending its run at Rockaway Parkway. I suggest the B103 be extended to Gateway Mall as some residents in Canarsie have to pay 2 fares to get there?B42/103 to B82 and then transfer again to B83. Lots of seniors and visually impaired persons depend on the B103 to get downtown. Eliminating that part of the B103?s route will leave us the option to take the train or B41. We will be back to square one dealing with over crowded buses and a not so safe subway system. Seniors depend on this bus when coming from downtown BK. Have you been to Flatbush Junction to see how crowded it is and seniors have to wait for 4-5 buses to go by before they are able to board without the shoving and pushing. I can meet a representative at the Junction so they can see what actually happens. The B103 LIMITED should make limited stops during am and pm rush hour at transfer points?starting from Williams Ave, Flatlands & E 105, Rockaway Parkway, E 80 M etc. B 103 local will make all stops . Why is my bus stop @ Canarsie Road being removed?when there is a school at the corner or Avenue M & Canarsie Road? I am a senior citizen, my land lady is visually impaired ?if this proposal goes through we will have to walk to Remsen Avenue or E 98 to board the bus. What happens to visually impaired or wheelchair bound passengers when we are experiencing inclement weather? Please review my suggestions and feel free to contact me at 7182727187 or 3473884368 so we can start a conversation. I anxiously await a response from you. Let?s work together!! Best, Eulalee Fox

Comment: Hi, I want to offer full throated support of the route change of the B 65 bus off of Bergen street and onto Atlantic. As a resident of Bergen street we are not able to put in speed bumps to protect residents. We are the only street in the neighborhood that does not have them. It makes it dangerous for my kids to walk around, because people are speeding. If the bus were moved to Atlantic Avenue, people could transfer more easily, because they would be both closer to other buses and closer to additional subway stops. Finally, the stop on our block is seldom used. There are almost never people there. It makes much more sense to have it on a street where it would get more use. Thank you for your time.

The route needs to be streamlined, yes (mainly Cortelyou rd. onto Flatbush is a traffic nightmare) But a bus line to downtown Brooklyn is imperative for people who work downtown Brooklyn who live in Canarsie.

Comment: B62 rerouting: PLEASE ADD A THIRD STOP ON MCGUINNESS BLVD. BETWEEN NASSAU AND NORMAN AVENUES.There is good logic in the current plans to reroute the B62 to McGuinness Boulevard rather than along congested Manhattan Avenue, as it also increases access beyond the G train for public transit. However, current plans to only have 2 stops on McGuinness is short-sighted - it would be wise to add a third stop on McGuinness at either Nassau Avenue or Norman Avenue to better serve the eastern residential side of Greenpoint, which currently has very limited public transit access. Adding a stop at Nassau and Norman would alleviate G train congestion and massively improve connectivity for the densely populated residential area of Greenpoint that is east of McGuinness, north of Meeker Avenue, and south of the IBZ along Calyer Street.

Comment: I am overall concerned about the re-routing of the B62 to McGuinness Blvd and the removal of so many stops for it to become a "limited" line, as it's a major connection between Greenpoint and the trains of Long Island City. I am also specifically nervous about the new bus stop at McGuinness Blvd and Greenpoint Avenue and how that will interact with the new protected bike lane on both sides of McGuinness Blvd, from Calyer Street to the Pulaski Bridge. I also hope that this new route wouldn't preclude potential future improvements to McGuinness Blvd to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, as we need this more than we need these MTA route adjustments.

Comment: B46-SBS needs better scheduling and better adherence to bus schedules (as do most lines tbh). Bus drivers sometimes don't show up anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes after their scheduled time and then show up with 2 other select buses as if they were socializing together and then decided to drive together. It's not helpful for 3 buses to show up back to back; it's preferable for those buses to show up at regular intervals.

Comment: Hello - please keep the b49 bus route to manhattan beach and kings borough college. This line is crucial for students that go to kingsborogough and Leon M. Goldstein high school. Please do not lose this route. It is critical to arriving to school on time.

Comment: Having the B65 on its current route is an convience for people to get downtown and don't have to walk that far for a bus. Plus there's already two other buses going down Atlantic Avenue already. There's tons of traffic because it's a main road. Now you add more traffic to that street. There's elderly that depends on this bus stop due to convenience.

Comment: If the new bus (B62) route is going to moved to McGuinness Blvd from Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint. I would recommend moving the current bus stop at Nassau Ave - Between Lorimer and Manhattan Ave To be relocated to Nassau Ave - Between Manhattan Ave and Leonard St This bus stop is in a better equidistant position between McGuinness and McCarren Park and this bus stop is also more ADA accessible because the curb is much higher allowing easier wheelchair access The current stop at Nassau Ave - Between Lorimer and Manhattan ave is not ADA accessible because the curb is too low.

Comment: I am an elderly woman with arthritis. I will really miss having the B65 bus just one block from where I live. Also I don?t think I?ll be able to use a transfer between B65 and B63 if the B65 route changes route from Bergen to Atlantic Ave.

Comment: No one is asking for a "new" B55 bus route, which is appears to be a combination of the existing B35 and the B15 bus routes. The customers who use the B35 are not in dire need of an extended bus route to get into JFK to the point where the entire bus route needs to replace the B15. This is unnecessary.

Comment: Dear Chair Lieber, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing in regards to the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign and how the MTA should improve interborough service. Currently, there is no subway option to Staten Island and the only way to get from Brooklyn to Staten Island is to take the R Train to Bay Ridge and take another bus to Staten Island. Along with the problem of an absence of the Staten Island Subway, residents are also demanding the MTA to reinstate the B71 bus route, as a result of changed demographics, since the discontinuation of the B71. In order for the MTA to fix the problem of not having subway connections into Staten Island due to the absence of a subway in Staten Island as well as to further improve bus service throughout Brooklyn, I suggest that the MTA should launch three new bus routes, with these routes being: B71 (Red Hook - Crown Heights) West End: Ikea Terminal East End: Medgar Evers College Bus Depot: Grand Avenue B86 (Manhattan Beach - New Springville) East End: Kingsborough Community College West End: Staten Island Mall Bus Depot: Jackie Gleason & Castleton B87 (Midwood - New Dorp Beach) East End: Brooklyn College West End: The Boulevard (Hylan Plaza) Bus Depot: Ulmer Park & Charleston Before the MTA can proceed with the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Plan that is being implemented, it would need to add these three additional bus routes to its draft plan, in order for the MTA to proceed with the redesign. Suggested routing details will be written in a separate letter, but these are the details I can provide at the moment. Along with the reinstatement of the B71, the MTA should make further changes to the route, in terms of routing and bus stop alignment, meaning that the route would not look the same as it was more than 10 years ago. Despite the B71 expected to start in Red Hook, instead of Cobble Hill, it should also make stops in Cobble Hill, in order for the MTA to increase the daily ridership on this upcoming route. Hope to see these plans happen and hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Tran Jacinto

Comment: Moving the B62 from Manhattan to McGuinness is going to cause massive issues for parents commuting to the local school with their children. Each B62 that comes down Manhattan between 7:30 and 8:15 is completely full, mostly of parents dropping their children off at PS31 or another school down Manhattan Ave. This redesign is going to cause chaos on the B43, which are already also completely full themselves by the 2nd stop on the route.

Comment: Hi, Wouldnt be convienent if the B6 bus just went from east lots ave to Mermaid and stillwell ave bus loop. Instead of the B6 last stop is Cropsey Ave/ Bay 38 St and Bay 37 St. The route would not only make it faster but also very reliable. Lots of commuters take the B6 and if the bus went to Coney Island lots of connections to trains and to new bus routes. There is only one bus that comes from spring creek to coney island ave that is the B82. People who are on the B6 have to transfer to the B82 to coney island. Its super unreliable that you have take the B82 when your on the B6. Its not a drastic change its 0.9 miles added to the B6 route. The new B6 proposal should be just like the B82 but Express stops. The Local B6 last stop is at Cropsey ave 37st and 38st. My suggested proposal is the B6 runs on some of the existing B82 stops Cropsey Ave/ 26th ave, Cropsey ave/ Bay 44st, Cropsey Ave / Bay 49st, Cropsey Ave / Hart Pl, Mermaid Ave / W 17st and , Mermaid / Stillwell Ave. My suggested b6 proposal adds 7 more stops and this make it more reliable and convient to all commuters that take the B6 and B82 bus. It will be the second bus that goes from the east lots ave to bay pkwy to Coney island. Please take consideration on my suggested proposal. Thank you

Comment: Regarding the cutting of the midday / weekend service hours for the X28 (redesignated as the BM8c) route, I would strongly advocate for the maintenance of existing service hours. The parts of the X28's route in Dyker Heights in particular serve transit deserts that are otherwise a 20 minute walk or an unreliable bus ride from the nearest subway station, making the X28's rapid service into midtown a savior for weekend escapades and midday / after-work trips. One reason for the current low ridership would simply be the poor (hourly) frequency at these times. Increasing frequency to make the X28 a viable option at more hours would naturally improve ridership.

Comment: I like the idea of the B10 bus running from Prospect-Lefferts Gardens towards Utica Avenue, but what I dislike is the amount of frequency. Why is it not gonna run on the weekends? Weekend service from Prospect-Lefferts Gardens to and from Utica Avenue is needed at all times along Empire Blvd. Why is that not being provided as the plan? It's unfair for many of us who have to deal with a very long walk towards Utica from Brooklyn or Kingston Avenues. The new B10 bus needs to be local and not limited with no stops skipped. DO BETTER BECAUSE IT'S SHAMEFUL WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED!!!

Comment: This bus never runs on time. When I check to see if it's coming it would give me a time and it never showed up. I did it 2x within the past 45 minutes and I'm still waiting. I'm disabled with a knee brace and a cane and it's not easy for me to stand up this long. Please do something about this bus line. It's getting out of hand. Thank you.

Comment: Hello MTA, I would like to talk about gateway mall and how it needs help, so my plan make the Q8 back to gateway mall, (since in the queens network redesign it said the Q8 will go to new lots, Make it go back to Gateway mall, so the Q7 can go to new lots to Jamaica, So my plan is to make the B103 LTD go to gateway mall for a connection for downtown Brooklyn so a lot of people can come to the call,And make the B103 go back downtown Brooklyn since it said it won?t be going to downtown Brooklyn, Then make the Q112 extend to Gateway mall so bus routes can go to Jamaica and a lot of people will also come to the mall, the Q112 will be added to the existing Q8 bus stop since there both queens routes, the B103 LTD can go to the B83 bus stop for more space for the B13,Q112,Q8 to go to their terminals,And a route that passes gateway mall,like how the Q53 SBS passes queens mall, so a new route called the B50 it will pass gateway mall by doing this, It will go to Greenpoint to starret city, this good connection from the northwest to the southeastern Areas, It will pass Broadway Junction,Atlantic Avenue Barclays Center since it will have a lot of transfers to trains,the B50 will pass Gateway mall on Erskine street then it passes Seaview Avenue to The belt parkway to Starret city and transfer to the B82 SBS and a connection to Coney Island,And that is my Idea for the gateway mall area (since I go there all the time and I feel like more that aren?t near any malls should have a route that goes to nearest mall near them)

Comment: For the B47 to make the route even more direct after running on 98th street, the route should just straight up run on Ralph ave instead of continuing on 98th street then using E New York ave then turn on Ralph because it is more indirect and doesn?t make sense and from Ralph you can still have transfer to buses on E New York ave from Ralph and making the B47 run straight up on Ralph would improve the route better overall. Please consider this.

Comment: What is the status of the Brooklyn bus redesign? It's been many months since any update at all, and lots of community outreach has already occurred. I am especially in favor of the proposed changes to my local B45 and B65 routes as they should both be much faster routes than they currently are.
