First/Second Ave SBS Open House
M15 Select Bus Service (SBS) is coming to First and Second Avenues starting October 10, 2010.

In addition to new bus lanes for SBS, First and Second Avenues will also have 6 miles of new or upgraded bike lanes, as well as pedestrian refuge islands that will help shorten the distance when crossing the street.
