This is not the first bus rapid transit project the city has stalled on. The city was slow to add early or extended green lights for No. J14 buses traveling between 73rd to 84th streets along Jeffery Boulevard, the city's first major foray into bus rapid transit. A controversial $160 million proposal to designate bus-only lanes on 16 miles of Ashland Avenue between Irving Park Road on the North Side and 95th Street on the South Side has gone nowhere.
