The city and the MTA are considering working with Citi Bike to figure out where more bike depots can be added across North Brooklyn in strategic locations. Others are calling for street to remain permanently shut down to private traffic even after the L train reopens. Some politicians and city planners had suggested the city shut down 14th Street to all private traffic to allow for increased bus service, bike lanes and pedestrian traffic for the duration of the L train shutdown to allow for faster crosstown commuting through the center of Manhattan. ► 14th Street Pedestrian, Bike, Bus Thoroughfare: The city is planning on adding a new dock at 20th Street and adding direct service between it and North Williamsburg. The MTA has said it will provide additional crosstown select bus service across 14th Street, 23rd Street and 34th Street, as well as increased connections to ferry stops on the East River.īut according to an independent estimate, the city would have to build another bridge over the East River to accommodate enough buses for all of the people who currently use the L train to commute. Commuters have called for a dedicated bus lane over the bridge, but the details still need to be worked out. The MTA will work with the city to provide bus service from Bedford Avenue to the Delancey Street F, J, M and Z stop in Manhattan over the Williamsburg Bridge.

The MTA will give free above ground transfers at Livonia Avenue to the 3 train and from the G to the J, M Z trains at Broadway and Lorimer Street.

Riders should also head to transfer points like Broadway Junction, Myrtle-Wyckoff, or to the Broadway G stop where you can get onto the J, M and Z trains. G train service will also be increased, adding more train cars as well as adding additional service.

The J and M trains will absorb most of the displaced L train commuters, according to the MTA, and officials say they plan to beef up service along those lines. Crown Heights, Prospect Heights & Prospect-Lefferts Gardens.Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens & Red Hook.
