""With the nearest subway a far walk away, residents here must cross ten lanes of vehicle traffic just to board buses that end up stuck in traffic. That is going to change.""
""The project will cover Linden Boulevard from Fountain Avenue to Conduit Avenue, aiming to speed up bus service for about 60,000 daily riders while reducing crashes along the corridor.""
""Between 2021 and 2025, the corridor recorded 443 injuries, including 15 severe injuries and one fatality.""
""The upgrades will affect six bus routes - B13, B14, B15, B20, BM5 and Q8 - and improve connections to multiple subway lines and key destinations including JFK Airport and Brookdale Hospital.""
The redesign of Linden Boulevard in East New York will introduce dedicated bus lanes and safety features to enhance public transportation. Covering the stretch from Fountain Avenue to Conduit Avenue, the project aims to expedite bus service for 60,000 daily riders and reduce the frequency of crashes. The area has seen significant injuries, with one person injured every four days. The plan includes new bus boarding islands, signalized intersections, and improvements to bus routes, with construction set to begin in late 2026 and completion expected in 2027.
