Manhattan Bus Lane Plan for 34th Street May Be Stuck in Gridlock Months after Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the city would proceed with a redesign of 34th Street that had been halted by the Trump administration, the plan is no closer to completion.

The Trump administration already forced this project to a halt. The Mamdani admin can’t let federal interference keep 28,000 daily bus riders stuck with slow, unreliable buses. Enough delays. Build the 34th Street busway! www.nytimes.com/2026/09/12/n...
