"We are bringing the streets master plan back to life, Mamdani said, announcing the resumption of construction on four critical street redesign projects. The plans include new offset bus lanes along Fordham Road, the Bronx's busiest bus corridor. About 130,000 riders use buses on the route, where speeds can drop to roughly four miles per hour, the mayor said. To improve travel times, the city will install dedicated lanes set off from the curb, a design intended to reduce conflicts with parked and turning vehicles."
"It's part of Mamdani's early push to speed up transit, expand cycling infrastructure, and fulfill a campaign pledge to make buses faster and eventually free. Speaking at a Bronx bus depot alongside transit officials and advocates, Mamdani said the projects were aimed at giving riders quicker trips and safer streets, particularly in neighborhoods that rely heavily on buses and bicycles."
Zohran Mamdani restarted four halted bus and bike lane projects to speed transit, expand cycling infrastructure, and advance promises to make buses faster and eventually free. Construction will resume on critical street redesigns including new offset bus lanes along Fordham Road, the Bronx's busiest bus corridor, used by about 130,000 riders where speeds can fall to roughly four miles per hour. The city will install dedicated lanes set off from the curb to reduce conflicts with parked and turning vehicles and aims for at least a 20% increase in bus speeds on priority corridors. The administration will measure results and adjust designs as needed.
