M14 Select Bus Service

14th St residents:

  • concern about curb access that was

removed in Fall 2018

  • concern about potential restriction of

curbside bus lane in alternate design proposed by DOT in March 2019

Side street residents:

  • concern about through traffic, especially

trucks, on adjacent residential streets

14th St crosstown bus riders:

  • Concern about slow bus speeds as a result
  • f traffic congestion

What We Heard From The Community Design should meet the needs of 14th Street during night and weekend L train service reductions and regular traffic at other times

needs of local businesses

  • Designated pick-up/drop-off ensures

residents and visitors can access curb Benefits of TTP

  • M14A loop through Abingdon

Square requires tight turns and disruption to narrow streets.

  • Proposal removes M14A

from Abingdon Square and extends it to 10 Avenue, providing more service on the primary corridor of 14 Street.

  • Abingdon Square stops have

1/12 the ridership of the 14 St stops at 8 and 9 Aves.

  • Abingdon Square area

is served by 3 other bus routes connecting to 14 St: the M11, M12, and M20

  • Combined frequency
  • f these routes is 6

min northbound, 8 minutes southbound

  • M11 by itself has

almost the same frequency as M14A
