Review the B7 route summary
The proposed B7 would be extended north to Fresh Pond via Cooper St/Av, 61/62 Sts, and Fresh Pond Rd for a new interborough connection. The new extension would replace a portion of the existing B13 in Glendale and would travel a path similar to a portion of the existing B20 in Bushwick. A connection to the J train would be available at Chauncey St Station instead of Halsey St Station.
As a Local route, stops would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
No frequency or service span changes are being proposed at this time.
