""This project will deliver faster, more reliable buses for the 60,000 New Yorkers who rely on them every day," said Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani in a statement. "And redesigning this historically dangerous corridor will make it safer for everyone who has to cross it.""
"The overhaul will start rolling out later this year, with construction wrapping up in 2027. When it's done, the corridor will look noticeably different: eight new bus boarding islands (which double as pedestrian refuge islands), expanded medians and additional crossings that will shorten the distance people have to walk across traffic."
Linden Boulevard in Brooklyn will be redesigned to enhance safety and transit efficiency. The project will introduce pedestrian refuge islands, dedicated bus lanes, and expanded medians along a high-crash stretch between Fountain Avenue and Conduit Avenue. With an average of one injury every four days, the redesign aims to reduce risks for pedestrians. Construction will begin later this year and is expected to be completed by 2027, improving travel times for the 60,000 daily bus riders and making crossings safer for all.
