    1. The revised rules don’t make it clear how loading and unloading should be handled for busways when loading/unloading is done for buildings that have no other entrances other than on the busway. Example: restaurants and grocery stores getting food deliveries, people moving in/out of residential buildings, contractors loading/unloading materials for building maintenance/renovations, etc.
    2. Exceptions should be allowed for people with mobility disabilities. Any vehicles carrying such people should be allowed to load/unload their passengers at a curb in front of their doors.

    This is a travesty! Please do not get rid of the Q102. Do you know how many people ( especially the elderly people) rely on that bus? You all have taken all the buses that run through QB away from the QB residents. WHY? This is not fair to the people who live there. I see people all the time who sit on their walkers waiting for that Q102 to go do their shopping. The same for the folks in Astoria housing. You all do not care about the long term residents and the people who have to get to the other side of the area. You all want to create fights with all these people piling up at one bus top. Do you guys see how crowded it becomes at 30th ave? This doesn’t make sense. Taking a way our bus stops and buses to accommodate the “new folks”. We see right thru it. Please don’t make these changes and leave our q102 alone. We need it and keeps the neighborhood moving. Thank you.

    We need buses to go to Manhattan from Astoria like they do now. Your plan does not include any buses from Astoria to Manhattan without having to make a transfer. Residents from the Ditmars area will only have 1 train to get to Manhattan with no transfer, while Elmhurst, Sunnyside, Jamaica have multiple routes to Manhattan and now all the buses go directly to Manhattan from those locations but are cut from Ditmars area via Steinway street. This creates congestion for people trying to get to the Ditmars Blvd N station especially with the DOT changing traffic patterns and narrowing streets for bicycles.

    Please stop the changes on the the q101. Residents near 20th avenue view it as a lifeline to get into the city. Not everything needs to change. Dont make the life of the elderly difficult
