Senator Biaggi's Week in Review: 6/6/22-6/10/22


 Senator Alessandra Biaggi

Dear Community,

The MTA announced this week that the Bronx Local Bus Network Redesign Plan will be implemented beginning on June 26th, and the maps and schedules for the new routes are now available onlineThis transformative project will make bus service in the Bronx faster, more reliable, and more accessible. Thirteen bus routes will change, two new routes will be implemented, and other bus routes will have frequency improvements that bolster off-peak service and enhance network connectivity to other bus routes and subway lines. 

Beginning on June 12th until the 26th, the MTA will also have customer ambassadors at key bus stops in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan to explain the route changes and increase familiarity of the new bus network. The customer ambassadors will provide maps and route-specific brochures outlining the changes and highlights of the new local bus network.

I am also excited to share that the New York State Senate and Assembly have both passed S9340, my bill which authorizes Pelham Manor with approval from DOT to install a red-light camera to capture vehicles on Boston Post Road which fail to stop for a red light at this intersection.

Affording this authorization to Pelham Manor will improve the safety of all who travel through or across the Pelhamdale Avenue/Boston Post Road intersection and ensure safer streets for all.

If you have any questions about any of these changes, please feel free to contact my office at biaggi@nysenate.gov or 718-822-2049. 

With Gratitude,

State Senator Alessandra Biaggi
