M5 Split *REVISED* (Page 128-Page 133)
The M5 will be split into two routes: the M5 and M55. However, the initial proposal has change. Under the old change, the M5 would terminate somewhere around Herald Square, and the M55 on 37 Street (coming from the south). The M5 will now run between 178 Street and 31 Street. The M55 will now run between South Ferry and 44 Street. Limited-stop service will be retained on the M5 only. The proposal will increase operation costs by $1,131,000 annually. The M5 split will occur in January 2017.
B26/Q55 reroute in Ridgewood (Page 134-Page 138)
Some public plaza is being built, which will result in a change in bus service in the area. The reroute is as follows:
B26- Buses will now terminate on Wyckoff Avenue at Palmetto Street. Service north of Myrtle Avenue discontinued.
Q55- Ridgewood buses will not turn onto St. Nicholas Avenue, but continue onto Myrtle Avenue, then turn left on Gates Avenue, left on Irving Place, left on Palmetto Street, and continue onto Palmetto to the terminal. The Q55 bus stop at Ridgewood terminal will be moved across the street. Richmond Hill buses will go up from the terminal on Palmetto, then make a right on St. Nicholas Avenue, then merge left on Myrtle Avenue. This is cost-neutral
Q59 reroute in Rego Park (Page 139-Page 142)
Rego Park buses will now turn left at the Horace Harding Expwy from Queens Blvd, right on Junction Blvd, and right on 62 Drive, and terminate at Queens Blvd. From the new stop on 62 Drive at Queens Blvd, buses will turn right at Queens Blvd, and continue on the regular route. Junction Blvd stop at Queens Blvd is discontinued, but service directly serves Rego Park shopping (North Side). It is cost-neutral.
