Eric Adams' 'ambitious' bus lane plans on NYC's Fordham Road hits roadblock
DOT’s plans to convert segments of Fordham Road to bus and delivery-only “will send thousands of cars onto nearby residential neighborhoods,” Feliz claimed in a letter dated Sept. 12.
“This partnership is the definition of ‘Get Stuff Done,’” Hizzoner said at the time. Yet with just three months left in the year, the city has installed just 6.7 miles of the 20 miles Adams promised for 2022, a DOT spokesman said on Friday. In meetings with local community boards, DOT has touted a poll by the business group Association for a Better New York that found 70% support among locals for the “busway” restrictions on private vehicles. The agency also points to surveys that showed 86% of shoppers on the strip arrived by foot or mass transit.
