Construction crews were on Emmons Avenue and Nostrand Avenue today, beginning the installation process of sidewalk bulbs – or bulges that stick out into the parking lane – and payment machines. The work is being done to prepare the [B44 route for Select Bus Service (SBS)](/b44-select-bus-service-sbs-part-1-of-3-its-too-late-to-make-changes/), which features off-board fare collection at nearby payment machines, and dedicated bus lanes on certain parts of the strip.

Community Board 15 has [expressed opposition to SBS along Nostrand Avenue](/video-bus-rapid-transit-details-for-nostrand-avenue/), saying that the parking spaces it will cause to be eliminated are more valuable than the few minutes the MTA says riders will save over current B44 service.

A contractor on-scene said work at each stop takes just a couple of days. They will be working their way up the line over the next few weeks.
