City announces new Broadway bus lane in Queens to improve LaGuardia access
Wednesday, May 13, 2026 · Queens, NY
New York City announced a dedicated eastbound bus lane on Broadway in Queens between 69th Street and Roosevelt Avenue to speed Q70-SBS service for LaGuardia Airport travelers, airport workers, and local riders. City officials said the corridor serves about 9,000 daily Q70 riders and that buses there can slow to 2.7 mph during evening rush hour. For real estate professionals, the update matters because transit reliability and airport access are important quality-of-life factors in western Queens neighborhoods including Jackson Heights and Astoria, and the project signals continued public investment in transportation infrastructure ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
