We're looking forward to seeing the city and state execute on this plan for the sake of everyone who relies on the bus, both here and across NYC!

A paragraph of text reading, "Faster, more reliable buses will deliver greater opportunities for all New Yorkers who rely on the bus. With dedicated bus infrastructure, riders spend less time waiting for or traveling on a bus, and more time reaching opportunities that enhance their lives." Below is a photo captioned "The B103 stuck in traffic on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn," taken about a block north of the Applebee's and Target at Flatbush Junction.

Flatbush Streets for People @flatbushstreetsforpeople.com · 11/07/2026

But we're also very happy that the city and state understand WHY this is important. Bus service is an essential lifeline in parts of the city like ours where subway stations cannot be found every few blocks, and improved bus service is an equity issue.

A table of commute mode by demographic characteristic. 75% of people of color take the bus, 62% take the subway, and 52% take a personal vehicle. 55% of women take the bus, 54% take the subway, and 41% take a personal vehicle. For households with <$100,000 income, 76% of them take the bus, 58% take the subway, and 44% take a personal vehicle. The chart is sourced to the MTA Customers Count Survey Fall 2025.

Flatbush Streets for People @flatbushstreetsforpeople.com · 11/07/2026

We're happy to see the commitment to bus service improvements on the full length of Flatbush Ave called out on their summary page, and of course we're also looking forward to the numerous city-wide improvements, including all-door boarding, better bus stops, and newer buses.

Beyond the above rapid bus corridors, we can also look forward to general investments across 50 total "Priority Corridors." In our area, this additionally includes Avenue J and Kings Highway. For this year, DOT is committing to capital work on the Kings Highway corridor.

Flatbush Ave is one of five corridors where DOT plans to bring "world-class rapid bus service." Utica Ave is another, and a third will expand on the small segment of bus lanes installed on Church Ave in 2019, running through Kensington, Flatbush, and East Flatbush.

Most notably, "NYC DOT and MTA will deliver new rapid bus service along the full length of the Flatbush Avenue corridor by 2030." We're pleased to see them recognize that riders all along Flatbush Ave, especially where subway stations are rarer, need fast and reliable buses!

A block of text is next to it, titled "Central Brooklyn Bus Planning," which reads:
NYC DOT and MTA will study bus priority and complete street improvements on three critical, high-ridership, and Vision Zero corridors in Central Brooklyn: Church Avenue, Flatbush Avenue, and Utica Avenue. Together, these three corridors serve over 150,000 bus riders on 13 bus routes each day. NYC DOT and MTA will begin project coordination and community engagement on these corridors in 2026.

Mamdani to Resurrect Bus and Bike Lanes Killed by Eric Adams

Flatbush Streets for People @flatbushstreetsforpeople.com · 13/02/2026

We are excited to hear that @mayor.nyc.gov is prioritizing the long-delayed bike lane network in Flatbush, East Flatbush, and Midwood. We have been advocating for this network for years, both to protect cyclists and to improve safety for all road users in our neighborhoods.

Screenshot of NYT article:

Mr. Mamdani is also expected to announce that the city will build a bike lane network through the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Midwood, Flatbush and East Flatbush, and add protected lanes to Dorchester and Cortelyou Roads in Ditmas Park, and along Brooklyn and Kingston Avenues, also in Brooklyn.

“These projects will improve the quality of life for so many New Yorkers — but until today many were stalled because of politics,” said Mike Flynn, the city’s new transportation commissioner, in a statement. “This is just the beginning.”

Protected bike lanes are proven solutions that make streets safer for everyone: pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers.

Slide from NYC DOT presentation titled "Safety Benefits of Protected Bike Lanes":

Street designs that include Protected Bike Lanes increase safety for all users.

15% decrease in all crashes with injuries
15% decrease in motor vehicle occupant crashes
21% decrease in pedestrian injuries
Injuries to cyclists increase only 3%, despite a 61% bike volume increase

Data from 25 separate protected bicycle lane projects installed from 2007-2014 with 3 years of after data. Includes portions of 1 Ave, 2 Ave, 8 Ave, 9 Ave, Broadway, Columbus Ave, Hudson St, Lafayette St / 4 Ave, Sands St, Allen/Pike St, Kent Ave, Prospect Park West, Flushing Ave, Bruckner Blvd & Longfellow Ave, Imlay St / Conover St, Paerdegat Ave. Only sections of projects that included protected bike lanes were analyzed.

In addition to completing an important missing connection in the bike network in our area, the proposed redesign is also intended to reduce speeding and improve pedestrian safety. You can see DOT's full presentation about the redesign and its goals here: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow...

The title slide of an NYC DOT presentation "McDonald Ave Two-Way Protected Bike Lane, Presentation to Brooklyn Community Board 7, June 10, 2025," with a large photo of the intersection of 20th St/10th Av/McDonald Ave just after the existing protected bike lane ends.

A slide from the presentation with a photo of the existing street (two vehicle lanes in each direction with parking) and a diagram of the new proposal (a two-way bike lane, a 3' buffer, one vehicle lane in each direction with parking, and a turn lane in the middle). The slide reads

Making It Work
McDonald Ave
• Traffic volumes peak roughly equally in the AM northbound
(750 vehicles) and PM southbound (650 vehicles) directions
• Signal cycle lengths of 60, 90, and 120 seconds are all present
on McDonald Ave between Ft Hamilton Pkwy and 10th Ave,
preventing the signals from coordinating efficiently
• Coordination of the signal cycle lengths will allow the same
amount of vehicles that currently need two lanes on McDonald
Ave during peak times to fit into one lane

The DOT is also proposing hardened daylighting at nine particularly dangerous intersections in our district, improving visibility for pedestrians and cyclists and promoting safer turns.

Responding to strong public feedback at the last few meetings, the DOT is proposing an east-west pair of parking-protected bike lanes on Cortelyou and Dorchester Roads, providing safety and badly needed connections:

A slide titled "Proposed Protected bike Lanes - Cortelyou Rd and Dorchester Rd," with images showing an eastbound protected lane on Cortelyou from Coney Island Ave (the west of the district) to Flatbush Ave, and a corresponding westbound protected lane on Dorchester a block south. Both replace a previous plan for unprotected lanes, and connect to unprotected lanes to the east. The slide reads:

• Protected bike lanes create a better bicycling environment for all-ages and all-abilities
• Installing protected bike lanes has a 34% reduction in risk of injury
• Requires some trade-offs
