Restoring the B71 Bus RESTORING THE B71 BUS You can get there from here! BACKGROUND Route B71 originated circa 1900 as a streetcar from the ferry at the foot of Hamilton Avenue along Union Street to Grand Army Plaza In the 1980s the B71’s western terminus was moved to Van Brunt and Union Streets and the eastern terminus to Rogers Avenue in Crown Heights Heavy traffic on Union Street east of 8th Avenue and on the Eastern Parkway side roads led to frequent delays of service The last end-to-end trips left the termini at 9:00 PM Citing declining ridership, the MTA eliminated the B71 as part of service changes in June 2010 RESTORING THE B71 Elected officials, advocacy groups, and community organizations have urged the restoration of the B71 ever since its discontinuance. The proposal before you starts from the premise that the B71’s route was so problematic, so prone to delays, as to make the route highly unreliable, deterring its use and leading to low ridership. With service ending at 9 PM, the B71 was never an option for people going to other communities for dining, entertainment, or other evening activities. SERVICE GOALS FOR A NEW B71 Frequent, reliable service Connections to many bus and subway routes Increase the number of trip generators; connections to many Schools and Houses of Worship, Parks and Cultural Institutions, and Shopping, dining, and entertainment venues PROJECT GOALS FOR A NEW B71 Eliminate causes of unreliable service on old B71 Avoid Union Street east of 7th Avenue Minimize use of Eastern Parkway Piggyback on existing bus stops as much as possible Utilize B71 bus stops that are still existing Eliminate the minimum number of parking spaces Minimize capital cost THE PROPOSAL Restore the portion of the pre-2010 B71 between Columbia Street and 7th Avenue. Extend the western portion to Pier 6 - Brooklyn Bridge Park. Extend the eastern portion to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. Provide service at 20-minute headways from 5:00 AM until 11:30 PM, with additional trips during peak hours.

This report measures the state of parks in Brooklyn. There are many different kinds of parks — active, passive, and pocket — and this report focuses on active parks that have a mix of amenities and uses. It is important for Brooklynites to have a pleasant park in their neighborhood to enjoy open space, meet their neighbors, play, and relax. While park equity is integral to creating One Brooklyn — a place where all residents can enjoy outdoor recreation and relaxation — fulfilling the vision of community parks first depends on measuring our current state of parks. This report will be used as a tool to guide my parks capital allocations and recommendations to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), as well as to identify recommendations to improve advocacy for parks at the community and grassroots level in order to improve neighborhoods across the borough.
