EAST NEW YORK \u2014 CITY OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED on Tuesday plans to install new bus lanes and safety upgrades along Linden Boulevard, from Fountain Avenue to Conduit Avenue in East New York. <\/p>\n

In a release, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn described the stretch<\/a>, which serves 60,000 bus riders, as one of Brooklyn\u2019s most dangerous corridors. The redesign<\/a> is meant to deliver faster, more reliable buses, while improving access to nearby subway lines and reconnecting neighborhoods long divided by the boulevard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Main improvements include eight new bus boarding islands, which will also serve as pedestrian refuge islands, and two new signalized intersections at Pine and Emerald streets. Five slip lanes will be closed or redesigned to improve safety and support bus operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DOT projects the reconfiguration will benefit riders on six routes: B13, B14, B15, B20, BM5 and Q8. The work will begin in late 2026 and is expected to be completed in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the nearest subway a far walk away, residents here must cross 10 lanes of vehicle traffic just to board buses that end up stuck in traffic, behind double-parked cars \u2014 that is going to change under the Mamdani administration,\u201d Flynn said.<\/p>\n
