Description
Description | The project aims to improve crosstown Bronx bus service and enhance street safety near Yankee Stadium by adding westbound bus-only lanes, converting the 161st Street underpass to bus-only use, and including pedestrian safety upgrades and new amenities for bus riders such as shelters, benches, and leaning bars. It involves reconstructing East 161st Street from Ruppert Place to Morris Avenue, sections of East 163rd Street between Washington Avenue and Tiffany Street, and portions of the Bx6-SBS route in Manhattan. The project also includes creating a fully protected, center-running bus lane along East 161st Street, converting the existing eastbound bus tunnel under Grand Concourse to bus-only in both directions, installing full-length concrete boarding islands, sidewalk extensions, new curb extensions, medians, pedestrian refuge islands, and upgrading infrastructure such as water mains, sewers, streetlights, and fire hydrants. |
