NYC plans 'busway' for 34th Street that would ban most car traffic
City transportation officials plan to ban most passenger vehicle traffic from 34th Street as part of an effort to speed up one of Manhattan’s slowest and busiest bus routes.
The transportation department said it would propose the “busway” to a Midtown community board on Monday night. The plan would impose new traffic restrictions along the corridor between Third and Ninth Avenues, only allowing buses and trucks to drive along the street. Under the changes, any passenger vehicle that turns onto 34th Street in the area would have to take the next required turn off the street.
Officials said they plan to implement the changes later this year. The M34 bus route that runs along 34th Street is used by roughly 28,000 daily riders, but averages a speed of just 3 mph during peak periods, according to the transportation department.
