Proposed Final Plan: Q59 Local

For languages other than English, use the Google Translate tool at the bottom of this page. 

As part of both the Queens and Brooklyn Bus Network Redesigns, the proposed Q59 would be streamlined at both ends of the route. On its eastern end, the route would not divert off of Queens Blvd onto 90 St or 56 Av. 

On its western end, the route would travel directly to Williamsburg Bridge Plaza instead of looping around Metropolitan Av, Grand St, Kent/Wythe Avs, and Broadway. This would provide faster, more direct routing and focus resources on the Grand St corridor. Service on Kent/Wythe Avs and Broadway would be provided by the proposed B53 with an increase in frequency as compared to the B32. Service on Metropolitan Av and western Grand St would be discontinued, but alternative service would be available via the proposed B62 or Q68. Queens-bound in East Williamsburg, the proposed Q59 would use Gardner Av to connect to Grand St to avoid a difficult turn. Bus service changes in Brooklyn are still being reviewed and will be finalized as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Proposed Final Plan.

To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q59 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability. 

No frequency or service span changes are being proposed at this time.
