M60 Select Bus Service
MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) and the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) plan to upgrade the M60 to Select Bus Service, featuring off-board fare payment, dedicated bus lanes, limited stops and transit signal priority in Manhattan. As part of the project, DOT would also make improvements to curb regulations and pedestrian safety along the corridor.
Begininning in September 2012, as part of their public outreach and engagement efforts for the project, NYCT and DOT have held a series of public workshops and convened a community advisory council to assess community concerns and suggestions for improving bus service along 125th Street. For more information on this project, please visit DOT's M60 Select Bus Service web page.
Representatives of CB11 have participated in each of the public workshops and a representative of the Public Safety & Transportation Committee sit on the community advisory council.
The CB11 Public Safety & Transportation Committee will review the project.
