1. REVISE B13 SERVICE IN RIDGEWOOD
Service Issue
The B13 route passes through the Ridgewood Bus Terminal in both directions. In order to reach the terminal it makes a turn through the complex six-point intersection of Wyckoff Avenue, Palmetto Street, and Myrtle Avenue. Rerouting the B13 from Palmetto Street to Gates Avenue will help to alleviate congestion in the terminal. It will also eliminate a turning movement from the intersection at Wyckoff Avenue and Palmetto Street.
Recommendation Revise B13 bus service in Ridgewood.
Budget Impact There is no increase in operational cost for this reroute.
Proposed Implementation Date This reroute will be implemented by bulletin upon approval.

2.REROUTE OF SOUTHBOUND M4 AND WESTBOUND Q32 NEAR W 32ND ST TERMINAL
Service Issue
The New York City Department of Transportation is making changes to the street geometry on West 34th Street that will reduce the westbound through lanes from two to one (in addition to a dedicated offset bus lane). These changes include a left turn ban from westbound West 34th Street to southbound Seventh Avenue for all vehicles at all times. As a result, the current left turn lane on West 34th Street at 7th Avenue will be eliminated and southbound M4 and westbound Q32 buses will no longer be able to make this turn to reach their terminal on West 32nd Street. Northbound M4 and Eastbound Q32 service is not affected by this change.
Recommendation
Reroute southbound M4 and westbound Q32 service to travel west on West 37th Street to 7th Avenue and proceed to terminal. Three bus stops will be eliminated along the discontinued segment of the M4 and Q32 routes and they will be replaced with new stops along the rerouted segment on West 37th Street and 7th Avenue.
Budget Impact There is no increase in operational costs for this reroute.
Proposed Implementation Date November 1, 2015
