ICYMI; The Adams administration has been too slow to construct new bus lanes across the five boroughs, in violation of city law, say transit advocates pushing the mayor to put the pedal to the metal on their implementation.
“We are calling on this administration to get it done,” said Queens Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas at a Tuesday rally on Northern Boulevard in Jackson Heights, where advocates called on the mayor to speed up construction. “We only have two more months left of this year. We demand to get our 20 miles of bus lanes.”Photo by Ben Brachfeld
That’s to the detriment of Jackson Heights bus riders, whose commute on the Q66 bus averaged a pitiful 8.1 miles per hour as of July, according to MTA statistics. Overall, New York City is home to the slowest buses of any city in the nation. Giovanni’s father, Raul Ampuero, has since then channeled his grief into advocacy for safer streets, first and foremost Northern Boulevard.
