” Bike Lane” Rutishauser will just add another lane for buses. What color will he pick for the bus lane. The Mayor should have a contest for the best color.
A bus lane or bus-only lane is a lane restricted to buses, often on certain days and times, and generally used to speed up public transport that would be otherwise held up by traffic congestion. Bus lanes are a key component of a high-quality bus rapid transit (BRT) network, improving bus travel speeds and reliability by reducing delay caused by other traffic.
A dedicated bus lane may occupy only part of a roadway which also has lanes serving general automotive traffic; the related term busway describes a roadway completely dedicated for use by buses.
Chris’ idea to move the bus station to the train station is lunacy.
300 NJT buses every weekday at the tiny and already overcrowded Garber Square intersection.
Up to 20 NJT buses an hour in rush hours.
900 new pedestrians in the morning rush and 900 new pedestrians in the afternoon rush.
Buses acting as 40 foot long walls obstructing line of sight for drivers and hundreds of pedestrians alike.
Each bus = 3 car lengths so traffic that already backs up Franklin and down to Monroe will back up more. Fewer cars will get through each light cycle

…the new Ridgewood.
Welcome to upscale Hackensack
Council, if you are reading this, please just say this is not happening and drop it forever.
The council loves Bike Lane they will do it.
So many people are still attacking the Council. If you don’t like the way they do things, run for election next time. It is so much easier to sit on the sidelines and complain than it is to actually do the job. That old cliche “Put up or shut up” still passes the test of time.
