Rose leads delegation to increase federal funding for improvements on South Brooklyn buses
U.S. Rep. Max Rose has joined a group of fellow congressmembers to push for increased funding for improvements on South Brooklyn buses.
The push for federal funding is in support of a New York City Department of Transportation project to increase safety and accessibility through the creation of 15 bus bulbs and 15 bus pads at priority bus stops in South Brooklyn along 86th Street and Bay Parkway.
Bus bulbs are curb extensions that allow buses to stop and board passengers without exiting the travel lane. Bus pads are more-durable sections of pavement installed at bus stops which prevent the common problem of deteriorated asphalt in areas where buses make frequent stops.
