  1. SI Railway Bustitution; New Dorp Plaza North & Beach Avenue - 08-15-2020
  2. SI Railway Bustitution; BeachAve & South Railroad Ave 08-15-2020
  3. Is the MTA intentionally trying to use residential streets for bus routes now? I'm not a Bronx resident but I've been following the Bronx redesign just to see what may be in store for the SI local route re-design in two years.
  4. As more employers settle in Downtown Brooklyn / MetroTech / Dumbo an express bus service will become necessary. Maybe even a Bay Ridge-Park Slope-Downtown Bklyn route for Brooklynites too. But with the MTA's new express bus numbering scheme the route may be designated 'SIB-1'. We will then have SIMs and SIBs. Let's say that Long Island City is eventually included. Can you say 'SIBQ-1'? 🙂 https://www.bisnow.com/new-york/news/office/brooklyn-office-market-97168
  5. The numbers are for passenger vehicles only. The info is from the two pdfs I linked to. I'm assuming that the 'Standard' column in the pdfs means passenger vehicles. There is a separate 'Taxi' column which again I'm assuming includes traditional taxis as well as Uber/Lyft vehicles with 'TLC' plates. The DMV should be clearer but this is the only info I have.
  6. Here are the registration numbers for passenger vehicles only in 2012 and 2017 (last year DMV stats available). My own theory is that as more New Yorkers become more well-off they buy cars for the freedom and convenience. A 7.61% (+146,505) increase in passenger car ownership between 2012 and 2017 is pretty impressive when you consider how expensive and potentially difficult it is to own a car in NYC. The Alternate Side Parking rules alone are an impediment to car ownership nyc 2012: BRONX 227,105 KINGS 408,007 NEW YORK 221,916 QUEENS 671,816 RICHMOND 247,692 NYC 2012 TOTAL 1,776,536 nyc 2017: BRONX 249,216 KINGS 457,980 NEW YORK 225,179 QUEENS 725,906 RICHMOND 264,760 NYC 2017 TOTAL 1,923,041 https://dmv.ny.gov/statistic/2012reg.pdf https://dmv.ny.gov/statistic/2017reginforce-web.pdf
  7. Notice of bus stop elimination on Mill Road at Ebbitts Avenue. Effective 08/2018 as part of SI express bus redesign. Similar notification at Mill Road & Tysens Lane.
  8. S76 Oawkood - bound diversion on 10th Street between Princeton Ave & Cannon Blvd due to New Dorp Lane restaurant 'crawl'. 10-15-2017.
  9. S76 St. George - bound diversion on South Railroad Ave & Princeton Ave due to New Dorp Lane restaurant 'crawl'. 10-15-2017.
  10. Amboy Road is narrower than even Clove Road. Amboy basically an old Indian path that over the last 125 years grew into an arterial roadway. Rosebank SIR station one of those things talked about for years, doubtful it will ever happen. Staten Island Bus Study report overdue. At the end of October Jimmy Oddo said meeting with MTA was a few weeks away but nothing yet. Happy Thanksgiving!
  11. Amboy Road between Clarke Avenue and Wilson Avenue is for the most part too narrow for a bus route. Only one lane each way, bus stops would slow up traffic considerably as there is no safe way for vehicles to pass them.
  12. Speaking of the ever grungy Hylan Plaza. It is to be demolished over the next year and replaced with a modern shopping center to be called 'The Boulevard'. There will be a new entrance/exit on the Mill Road side. Shop-Rite is rumored to be the center's grocery store, their current space on Hylan Blvd & Burbank Ave is awkward. No other retailers have been announced. http://www.theboulevardstatenisland.com/ http://www.kimcorealty.com/the-boulevard-brochure
