The city unveiled on Thursday three blocks of new bus lanes and a bus-priority traffic signal at Battery Place near the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel in Lower Manhattan, which officials say will relieve congestion for commuters heading to Staten Island.
“Bus improvements at Battery Place will save valuable time for Staten Island bus riders,” said Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Hank Gutman in a June 10 statement. “In a year’s time, each commuter will have gotten more than a full day of their lives back.”
The DOT added a curbside bus-only lane to three westbound blocks of Battery Place, between Broadway and West Street, along with a traffic signal allowing buses a head start when turning right toward toward the inter-borough tunnel.
