The plan would add new offset bus lanes between Watts Street and West 34th Street, upgrade existing bus lanes from West 34th Street to West 58th Street, and widen protected bike lanes along much of the corridor. The improvements are intended to benefit more than 51,000 daily bus riders and enhance safety for cyclists and pedestrians on one of Manhattan’s busiest transportation corridors.
