In response to the recent pedestrian accidents that took the lives of 23-year-old Ella Bandes and of 60-year-old Edwin Torres, the MTA has rerouted the B26 and Q58 in Bushwick and Ridgewood. The new route has been officially unraveled on June 28, and the buses now instead of running uninterrupted along Wyckoff Avenue, turn onto Putnam Ave, Ridgewood Place, and Palmetto Street. But the affected residents are not very happy about the reroute calling it “a mere a band-aid over a flailing artery” of accidents in the neighborhood.
