Fordham Road, Major Deegan Expressway to Boston Road

NYC DOT is investigating transit improvements along Fordham Road between the Major Deegan Expressway and Boston
Road. Fordham Road is a vital crosstown Bronx corridor. Nine bus routes (Bx9, Bx12 SBS/Local, Bx17, Bx22, Bx34,
Bee-Line 60-62 buses) carry 93,700 daily riders, with connections to the A, B/D, 1, 2/5, 4, and 6 subways, and
Metro North Harlem, Hudson, & New Haven Lines. In 2008, NYC DOT and MTA launched the first Select Bus
Service (SBS) route on the Bx12, which included curbside bus lanes and off board fare payment. Between 2008 and
2014, Bx12 bus speeds and ridership increased. In recent years, bus speeds have declined, which has led to long,
unreliable commutes and declining ridership. NYC DOT will evaluate a range of potential design improvements to
improve bus speeds and reliability, while also improving curb management and traffic safety.

Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway

The Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway is a planned 14-mile pedestrian and bicycle route connecting communities along
Brooklyn’s waterfront. Separate paths for bicycles and pedestrians will allow cyclists and walkers to commute,
exercise, explore, and relax from Newtown Creek in north Brooklyn to the beginning of the Shore Parkway Greenway
in Bay Ridge, creating a full 27-mile greenway along Brooklyn’s waterfront. The Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway is
a trunk segment in New York City’s expanding network of greenways, which includes the Manhattan Waterfront
Greenway, the Queens East River Greenway, the Shore Parkway Greenway, and the Jamaica Bay Greenway. Over the
past decade, New York City has truly opened public access to the waterfront with over 60 miles of public space
planned or under construction. The completion of the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway is a crucial part of this
vision. Several segments of the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway are already in place and include some of the most
popular bicycle and pedestrian routes in the City. Altogether, this unique set of pathways, green spaces, and
public programs is transforming Brooklyn’s waterfront.

Broadway Vision, Union Square to Columbus Circle

Since 2009, NYC DOT has continued to promote the use of Broadway as public space by promoting walking and
biking as the primary mode of transportation on this world-renowned corridor. As part of this ongoing work, NYC
DOT has developed a comprehensive vision for a vibrant and safe Broadway from Union Square to Columbus Circle
which supports local commerce, community, and culture. Through a flexible toolkit, the Broadway Vision includes
block typologies from basic, to slow, to shared, to pedestrianized plazas that can be organized to meet a
variety of stakeholder needs, amplifying the public realm of each unique neighborhood while building a cohesive
transportation network.

In 2024, NYC DOT implemented a new plaza between East 17th Street and East 18th Street, as well as shared
street blocks from East 18th Street up to East 21st Street using in-house resources. NYC DOT is currently
working on design concepts for Broadway between West 35th Street and West 38th Street.

In coordination with NYC DDC, NYC DOT is currently in the design stage for capital improvements to the existing
plaza and shared street blocks between West 38th and West 40th Streets. Additional capital projects are in the
early stages of development and more information on those projects will be added as they progress.

Flatiron Plaza & Shared Street

The Flatiron Plazas were implemented using interim materials in 2008. The plazas (Broadway/5th Avenue between
21st and 25th Streets) were an important milestone in NYC DOT’s efforts to enhance pedestrian accessibility and
have transformed what was a congested, traffic dominated and hostile environment into a landmark public
space.

In 2017 NYC DOT refreshed the plazas and implemented a series of enhancements focused on public space,
pedestrian safety and circulation whilst maintaining vehicular circulation. These proposals simplified the
complex intersection of Broadway/5th Avenue/24th St, added a new protected bike lane on Broadway and 5th Avenue
and converted the block of Broadway between 25th and 24th Streets into a Shared Street.

NYC DOT is now working with NYC DDC to develop the preliminary design for the permanent reconstruction of the
plazas, shared street and Worth Square. This design was presented to Community Board 5 on March 4th, 2019 and
can be viewed at the following link.
