A Long-Stalled Plan to Improve New York City's Congested Streets Takes a Step Forward. New York City's transportation commissioner, Ydanis Rodriguez, has announced that the city is moving forward with a plan to create bus lanes on several major highways. The proposal, which has been in the works for years, was initially blocked by the Trump administration, citing concerns over traffic congestion and parking. Now, with the Biden administration's shift in priorities, the plan is gaining momentum, and city officials are optimistic that it will help reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in the city. The proposed bus lanes are expected to benefit thousands of commuters who rely on public transportation to get to work and school.
