  • F. Vehicular Traffic
    Chapter 9: Transportation (Vehicular Traffic) F. VEHICULAR TRAFFIC EXISTING CONDITIONS STREET AND ROADWAY NETWORK Traffic conditions in the study area vary in relation to a number of factors—the nature of the street and roadway network, surrounding land uses and the presence of major traffic generators, and the intensity of interaction between autos, taxis, trucks, buses, deliveries, and pedestrians. The study area contains five subareas, or zones—Lower Manhattan, the Lower East Side, East Midtown, the Upper East Side, and East Harlem—and each has different street and roadway characteristics along its length. East Midtown, the Upper East Side, and East Harlem are characterized by a regular street grid, with avenues running north-south and streets running east- west. Each of the major north-south avenues—First, Second, Third, Lexington, Park, Madison, and Fifth Avenues—are major traffic carriers. There is just one limited-access roadway, the FDR Drive, which extends around the eastern edge of the study area from its northern end to its southern end. A general overview of the character of the street and roadway network in each of the five zones is presented below. Lower Manhattan is characterized by an irregular grid pattern south of Canal Street. Except for a few major arterials, most streets within the area are narrow with usually just one "moving" lane. Travel is time-consuming and slow along them. Pedestrian traffic often overflows into the street space, further impeding vehicular traffic flow. Water Street and Broadway are the two key north-south streets in this area, and carry two or more effective travel lanes, yet are often difficult to negotiate due to frequent double-parked truck traffic.

    INNOVATIONS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS East River Bridges A $3.14 billion reconstruction program is underway to rehabilitate all four East River crossings. In 2005, these bridges carried some 498,213 vehicles per day. In 2002, working in coordination with the NYPD and other law enforcement agencies, the Division implemented enhanced security measures on these bridges. This work is ongoing. BROOKLYN BRIDGE The Brooklyn Bridge carried some 132,210 vehicles per day in 2005. The $547 million reconstruction commenced in 1980 with Contract #1, and will continue with Contract #6, currently in the design phase and scheduled for completion in 2013. This contract will include the rehabilitation of both approaches and ramps, the painting of the entire suspension bridge, as well as the seismic retrofitting of the structural elements that are within the Contract #6 project limits.

    New York City Independent Budget Office Fiscal Brief April 2014 Toward a State of Good Repair? City Capital Spending on Bridges, 2000-2012 Summary New York City’s infrastructure includes hundreds of bridges ranging from pedestrian crossings with just a few hundred square feet of deck space to the huge East River bridges such as the Manhattan Bridge with surface space of more than 1 million square feet. During the 1970s, when the city faced fiscal collapse, routine maintenance of the city’s bridges was deferred and capital repairs were inadequate, leaving many city bridges in deteriorated condition. The city changed course in the 1990s and began an investment program to restore the bridges. Still, in 1999, almost 13 percent of total bridge deck space was rated in poor condition by the New York State Department of Transportation, including all or parts of the Brooklyn, Macombs Dam, and Williamsburg bridges. Major city investment in bridge upgrades continued in the 2000s and this report looks at those efforts over the 13-year period from 2000 through 2012. This report examines the effects of the city’s commitment of $6.1 billion (2012 constant dollars) on 209 bridges citywide. Among our findings: • The average condition of the 209 bridges in this study improved over the 2000-2012 period, based on the state’s numerical rating of bridge conditions. Most of the increase in condition ratings came in the years 2000-2003, when commitments focused on repairing bridges with some of the lowest ratings. • Capital commitments for bridges initially ranked at the lowest condition rating tailed off after 2003 as the investments helped move these bridges closer to a state of good repair.

  • Bronx Arterial Needs Major Investment Study Executive Summary March 2004
    Bronx Arterial Needs Major Investment Study Executive Summary March 2004 New York State Department of Transportation URBITRAN Submitted by Urbitran Associates, Inc. In association with Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Douglas Howard / Stein-Hudson Associates, Inc. Eng-Wong, Taub and Associates Herbert S. Levinson EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES.1.0 INTRODUCTION The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) initiated the Bronx Arterial Needs Major Investment Study (BAN MIS) to identify and develop transportation solutions from a multi-modal travel perspective. The focus of the BAN MIS was on the arterial system in the Bronx and, in particular, the Cross Bronx Expressway (CBE, I-95) and Major Deegan Expressway (MDE, I-87). Improvement alternatives were developed to address concerns with traffic operations and safety, transit services, goods movement, and bicycle and pedestrian mobility in these congested highway corridors. Special consideration was given to the Highbridge Interchange, which provides a connection between the CBE and MDE and the George Washington Bridge (GWB). The purpose of the BAN MIS was to assess current and future travel conditions and problems and to develop projects, programs and strategies to improve the movement of people and goods on the CBE and MDE corridors. Figure ES-1 shows a map of the study area, which includes the CBE from the GWB to the Throgs Neck and Bronx-Whitestone bridges and the MDE from the Triborough Bridge to the Bronx/Westchester county border. The Final Report does not provide any formal recommendations or preferred alternatives. The strategy is to look at the existing program of projects and to find ones that could integrate some of the improvement alternatives from this study.
