Join us at Fordham Plaza on Tuesday, July 11 at 11am to rally with NYC Council Member Pierina Sanchez as we call on Mayor Adams to stand up for riders and deliver a new busway on Fordham Road!
When more than 85% people traveling on Fordham Rd do so via transit, transit should be the priority on the street! But right now, the 85,000 riders that depend on buses along Fordham Rd are stuck slogging through traffic on congested streets.
So, imagine the excitement when DOT proposed a new busway on Fordham Road. A new streetscape that would allow buses and emergency vehicles to travel freely and give riders confidence that their commutes will be reliable and consistent every day. It’s a dream come true!
But, due to a bit of pushback from a handful of wealthy, well-connected business owners and board members of local institutions, the busway has been stalled. That’s why riders are hitting the streets to make sure Mayor Adams and DOT follow through and deliver the busway we deserve!
