No Virginia, there is no bus priority.
The Adams administration has slammed the brakes on a highly-anticipated busway that the Department of Transportation was set to install on 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan this year, Streetsblog has learned.
A pair of administration officials confirmed the decision to Streetsblog, saying that even after a successful round of outreach that saw every single elected official and all three community boards in the neighborhood support the proposal, the whole thing is now in limbo.
“We’ve been told we shouldn’t continue work on it,” said one frustrated official with knowledge of the project.
The proposed 34th Street busway is supposed to be a 14th Street-style project that would prohibit more drivers from going all the way across 34th Street between Third Avenue and Ninth Avenue in either direction. A similar idea once proposed by the Bloomberg administration in 2008 also died at the community board stage.
