| The broken line indicates the proposed extension of the B67 bus. |
The MTA wants to extend weekday B67 bus service to Williamsburg, starting in September 2013, having concluded that public transportation in that neighborhood is inadequate for an area whose population is growing rapidly. The bus would still begin its route in Kensington on McDonald Avenue at Cortelyou Road and travel to Downtown Brooklyn.
The extended part of the route would stretch from Jay Street to Front Street in DUMBO to York Street to Gold Street to Sands Street, go around the edge of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, to Kent Avenue, and end at Division Avenue. Riders could transfer to the York Street subway station or to the B62 bus on Wythe Avenue.
The new service would operate every thirty minutes between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on weekdays.
A public hearing about the proposal will be held on Monday, April 29th, at 6:00 p.m.in the Brooklyn Borough Hall Court Room, 209 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn.
People who want to speak at the hearing can register between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Everyone who registers will be permitted to speak for up to three minutes.
Online registration is also available. Register here to speak at the hearing.
