The redeveloped corridor is intended to deliver tangible long-term mobility and economic benefits. “With the implementation of the dedicated bus lane, the efficiency of public transit will be optimized, resulting in more consistent travel times. Time savings are expected over time, particularly during the afternoon rush hour southbound, which will be beneficial for the economy.”
