Description
Description | The project involves implementing a dedicated bus lane on Elm Street in downtown New Haven as part of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) initiative. The plan includes replacing parking and loading spots along Elm Street with a bus lane to improve public transportation reliability. The city proposes moving existing parking from one side of Elm Street to the other and eliminating some on-street parking, with new parking spots created on nearby Chapel Street, resulting in a net loss of 44 parking spaces downtown. The project aims to enhance bus service frequency and efficiency but has raised concerns among local small business owners about the impact on parking and loading access. |
