J-Track, LLC 2 3 J-Track, LLC 2 3 J-Track, LLC J-Track LLC is the commuter’s equivalent of a masked superhero – frequently unseen, but instrumental in saving the day. As a company that specializes in end-to- end track and transit system construction services, J-Track is frequently the unsung hero in circumstances where flooding and water leaks threaten to grind to a halt the daily subway commute in metropolitan cities like New York and Washington, D.C. 4 Written by Gina Stephens his was the case recently when J-Track was hired to ensure that the Red Line of the Washington Metro rail Trapid transit system would be better able to cope with torrential rains and flooding, as well as frequent water seepage. Flooding has been a perennial problem for the Red Line – last summer, flash floods caused commuter chaos, resulting in passengers having to wade through shin-high water, and one of the Red Line stations, Cleveland Park, was being bypassed because the water inundation was so severe that water was cas- cading down the escalators, causing them to short out. Storms are a major cause of the Washington Metro flooding, but the geographic placement of some of the Red Line stations, placed at the bottom of a hill, create a structural weakness when it comes to water seepage. To address this issue in a more permanent fashion, Washing- ton Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) hired J-Track to commence work in July 2017 on a pilot project that would use one of the company’s proprietary techniques, employ- ing “curtain grouting” to add a waterproof membrane to the exterior of the Red Line’s tunnel walls using a polymer-based material that J-Track created. “Since this tunnel segment was constructed, Metro has fought a battle against Mother Nature, and Mother Nature has always had the upper hand. Just as we have addressed the root causes of track infrastructure problems and railcar reliability issues, I want to address the water infiltration problem head on and find a sustainable solution. Our Red Line riders deserve nothing chocolate syrup cascades down an ice cream sundae). less,” said Washington Metro General Manager and CEO Paul J.

  • Holliday Development and BRIDGE Housing Are Excited to Join Forces
    1 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT Holliday Development and BRIDGE Housing are excited to join forces with Lowney Architecture, Cannon Constructors, and Rhoades Planning Group to bring the Mayfair site to life with a vibrant, mixed income and mixed use development that sets the stage for additional innovative, infill growth at the entire El Cerrito del Norte BART Station area. The Holliday and BRIDGE (HDBH) team envisions a new, sustainable community well integrated into the existing El Cerrito neighborhood that provides a variety of housing choices, including live-work and flex space, with amenities to support transit-oriented development with access to alternative transportation, open space, and local and neighborhood retail. On the Mayfair site itself, we envision 200-240 units, with approximately 25% of the units affordable, built between two buildings that are joined by a central mews running from San Pablo to Kearny Street. Ground floor retail of 7,500-12,000 sq. ft. would orient towards BART on Cutting Boulevard and continue onto San Pablo Avenue to create an active street-front and provide more neighborhood serving retail to the community. Ground floor parking is anticipated to be at a ratio of 0.75/1, and the overall design would maximize features to encourage alternative modes of transit – among these features are a minimum of one-to-one secure bike parking, bike work stations and lounges, and multiple car-share spaces and charging stations. Expanding beyond the core Mayfair site, the Kearney Street and BART parking parcel will be integrated into the future Ohlone Greenway master plan. We envision a combination of greenspace, live-work, and flex/commercial that could bring Kearney Street and the BART parking lot into the project and bring in a new mix of uses and energy, including small, creative flex space that can serve as an incubator for local entrepreneurs.

  • 363-365 Bond Street – As-Of-Right Development CEQR No
    TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 363-365 Bond Street – As-of-Right Development CEQR No. 08DCP033K ULURP No. N130226 CMK March 14, 2013 A. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND This Technical Memorandum analyzes the environmental impacts of a proposed as-of-right project (the “As-of-Right Project”) to be developed in lieu of the previously approved development program (“Special Permit Project”) on the project site located at 363-365 Bond Street and 400 Carroll Street (“Project Site”) in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn. In addition, this Technical Memorandum assesses the potential for significant adverse environmental impacts utilizing the 2012 edition of the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, whereas the Special Permit Project was analyzed utilizing the 2001 CEQR Technical Manual. The analyses also utilize 2010 U.S. Census data, 2000 Highway Capacity Manual data, and data from the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP), Department of Buildings (DOB), Department of Education (DOE), School Construction Authority (SCA), Administration for Children’s Services (ACS), and Department of Finance (DOF). Thus, the analyses assess potential impacts from the As-of-Right Project, in the context of changes in CEQR methodology, where necessary. The Project Site is 146,152 square feet (sf), and includes portions of two blocks located along the west waterfront of the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn Community District 6. The Project Site comprises two separate zoning lots consisting of Brooklyn Tax Block 452 (Lots 1 and 15), and Tax Block 458 (Lot 1), and is bounded by the midpoints of Carroll Street to the north, Bond Street and a New York City EMS facility to the west, 2nd Street to the south, and the channel of the Gowanus Canal to the east (see Figure 1).
