Changing the B25 to the new route is excellent. As a B25 rider, I realized that some of the bus drivers don’t even turn down to Water Street because they feel the route is either too short or they don’t think there are riders. By extending the line, you will have many more people using the bus (including those riding the F Line subway). That connection in itself is a big bonus! This will increase public transportation ridership.

I think the bus stop is fine where it is. Front Street traffic is already crazy at Main and Washington. It is a very narrow street, and big city busses will just be loud, noisy and polluting.
Anyway, isn’t this all being proposed because the residents at 30 Main (The Sweeney Bldg.) don’t want the big, noisy bus outside their windows. Sounds like a case of NIMBY to me.

In addition to being better for people living in the projects, the new route would be much better for people who commute TO dumbo to work in the various deli’s etc — most of whom come from other Brooklyn neighborhoods and the subways don’t serve particularly well.

The bus now really rips into those two sharp turns onto Main and then Water, driving too fast and often swinging out over the sidewalk. I’d love to see the route changed.

The proposed route would make access to the bus much better for the tenants who live off of York Street in the projects. The BID should try to include them in the petition because it would get greater attention from the MTA.
