L B B a y N IA R E P S N E H HAYWARD 238 AC Transit East Bay BRT Project PROJECT VICINITY Map 2b SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The purpose of this document is to request concurrence from the State Office of Historic Preservation with regard to determinations of National Register eligibility or ineligibility for evaluated cultural resources and to document a proposed finding of “No Historic Properties Affected. The Alameda County (AC) Transit District proposes to upgrade bus service to a high- level express service, known as East Bay Bus Rapid Transit (EBBRT) along an approximately 18-mile arterial corridor through the cities of Berkeley, Oakland, San Leandro, California (Maps 1, 2a-2b). (Corridor length to BayFair BART is 18 miles; corri- dor length of revised project for FEIS terminating at San Leandro BART is 14.4 miles.) In 2004-2005, Archaeological/Historical Consultants carried out an archaeological survey and prepared an Archaeological Survey Report to encompass proposed alternative routes for the EBBRT Project (Baker 2005). At the same time JRP Historical Consulting carried out an historic property survey and prepared an Historic Properties Inventory and Evaluation Report (JRP Historical Consulting 2005). In 2010 final decisions have been made about project alternatives and a Preferred Alternative for the project was chosen. An Addendum Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) and Addendum Historic Properties Inventory and Evaluation Report (HRIER) were prepared in 2010 to address cultural resources in the new Area of Potential Effect (APE) that were not included in the 2005 reports. One new prehistoric archaeological site and 102 historical resources (i.e., those buildings, groups of buildings or structures that were constructed in or before 1965) are addressed in the addendum reports. Prehistoric archaeological site, P-01-010808, located in downtown Oakland in a deeply buried context, was recorded in 2006 based on newspaper accounts. It has not been formally evaluated because of its context. It can, however, be considered eligible or potentially eligible for the National Register under Criterion D, information potential, for purposes of the present undertaking only, if it is protected from any potential effects by the establishment and enforcement of an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA), in which cultural values are protected from adverse effects. The area of this site— Broadway between 13th and 14th Streets in Oakland, California—should be delineated as an ESA. An ESA action plan, probably involving archaeological monitoring during construction, should be developed for this and all other sites in the Preferred Alternative (see Baker 2005 for discussion of other areas of archaeological sensitivity). Of the 102 historical resources in the new alignment, eight are listed in the National Register or have been determined eligible for the National Register, or appear eligible for listing in the National Register. These properties are historical resources for the purposes of CEQA. The new APE also includes fourteen resources that do not appear to be eligible for the National Register but are listed or eligible for listing in a local register of historic resources; therefore they are considered historical resources for the purposes of CEQA.

  • Chapter 3: Description of Construction Methods and Activities A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 3: Description of Construction Methods and Activities A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the construction process for the Second Avenue Subway. Potential envi- ronmental impacts that could result from its construction, as well as mitigation measures to lessen their effects, are discussed in subsequent technical chapters. A preliminary sequencing plan for the proposed construction activities is also identified, although this plan could still change as engineering evolves and depending on the availability of funding. At this time, design of the Second Avenue Subway is still ongoing, and will continue to evolve over the next year. Consequently, this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) assesses the range of construction methods and activities that may be required, using a reasonable worst case approach throughout to describe potential impacts. In other words, where a variety of construction techniques could reasonably be used to build a particular project element, the method that would result in the worst overall impacts is the one that has been selected for analysis. The Second Avenue Subway would consist largely of twin tunnels with outside diameters of up to 23½ feet. (The tunnels described in the SDEIS would have had outside diameters of 21 feet.) Each tunnel would be approximately 8.5 miles long, running from East Harlem to Lower Manhattan. Sixteen new stations, numerous fan plants and ventilation cooling facilities, pumping stations, electrical power substations, new train storage yards, and various other elements would also be built. As described later in this chapter, where possible, construction would take place underground to minimize disruptions at the surface. Between approximately 92nd and 4th Streets (instead of 6th Street as described in the SDEIS), and again from Maiden Lane south, where Manhattan’s hard bedrock is relatively close to the surface, tunnels and stations would mostly be constructed underground in the rock, by one of several mining techniques.

  • Chapter 3: Socioeconomic Conditions
    Chapter 3: Socioeconomic Conditions A. INTRODUCTION This chapter analyzes whether the proposed actions would result in changes in residential and economic activity that would constitute significant adverse socioeconomic impacts as defined by the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual.1 The proposed actions would result in the redevelopment of an underutilized site with an approximately 214,000- square-foot (sf), 60-foot-tall commercial building currently anticipated to be a BJ’s Wholesale Club along with up to three other retail stores on the second level, 690 parking spaces, and approximately 2.4 acres of publicly accessible waterfront open space. The Brooklyn Bay Center site (“project site”) is located at 1752 Shore Parkway between Shore Parkway South to the east, Gravesend Bay (Lower New York Bay) to the west, and between the prolongation of 24th Avenue to the north and the prolongation of Bay 37th Street to the south. The objective of the socioeconomic conditions analysis is to determine if the introduction of the retail uses planned under the proposed actions would directly or indirectly impact population, housing stock, or economic activities in the local study area or in the larger retail trade area. Pursuant to the CEQR Technical Manual, significant impacts could occur if an action meets one or more of the following tests: (1) if the action would lead to the direct displacement of residents such that the socioeconomic profile of the neighborhood would be substantially altered; (2) if the action would lead to the displacement of substantial numbers of businesses or employees, or would displace a business that plays a critical role in the community; (3) if the action would result in substantial new development that is markedly different from existing uses in a neighborhood; (4) if the action would affect real estate market conditions not only on the site anticipated to be developed, but in a larger study area; or (5) if the action would have a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in a specific industry.

Astella will collaborate with the NYC Department of Sanitation, the Coney Island Board of Trade, and Mermaid Ave. merchants to provide these services. Members of the Coney Island Board of Trade, in which Astella helped to revitalize and provides technical assistance, have noted that while most merchants keep the sidewalk area in front of their stores free of liter according to city law, additional liter and sidewalk dirt and stains accumulate throughout the remainder of the day. In addition, according to a survey of Mermaid Ave. merchants conducted by an Astella intern in 2010, cleanliness of Mermaid Ave. was cited as the number one concern among merchants on Mermaid Ave. A cleaner commercial corridor will inspire confidence and pride in the neighborhood, provide a welcoming environment for shoppers, a boost for Mermaid Ave.

  • Chapter 23: Response to Comments on the SDEIS1
    Chapter 23: Response to Comments on the SDEIS1 A. INTRODUCTION This chapter summarizes and responds to all substantive comments on the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) published in March 2003 for the Second Avenue Subway. Public review for the SDEIS began on March 2003, with publication and distribution of the document. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) held two public hearings to receive comments on the document: on May 12, 2003 in the auditorium of the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House at One Bowling Green (Lower Manhattan); and on May 13, 2003, in the Hecksher Auditorium at El Museo del Barrio, 1230 Fifth Avenue (at 104th Street in East Harlem). The public comment period remained open until June 10, 2003. The SDEIS was circulated to involved and interested agencies and other parties and posted on the MTA’s website, and notice of its availability and the public hearing were published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2003. To advertise the public hearing, MTA published notices in the New York Post, Hoy, Amsterdam News, Chinese World Journal, and New York Daily News. In addition, information on the public hearing was posted on the MTA’s website, a notice of public hearing was mailed to all public officials and interested parties in the MTA service area; and a press release announcing the hearing was sent to all media outlets in the area. Bilingual signs announcing the hearing were posted in all MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) subway stations and on some buses. Brochures were handed out in major Manhattan East Side NYCT subway stations.

  • Chapter 2: Project Alternatives
    Chapter 2: Project Alternatives A. INTRODUCTION Numerous alternatives have been developed and analyzed for a new Second Avenue Subway since the project was first conceived nearly 75 years ago. Although routes continued to evolve during those seven decades, three major plans were developed: a 1929 plan with an alignment under Second Avenue and Water Street, 1940s plans with a similar alignment to the 1929 plan but with additional connections to the Nassau Street Line and the Manhattan Bridge, and a 1968 plan (also along Second Avenue and Water Street), which was partially constructed in East Harlem and the Lower East Side in the late 1970s before construction was suspended because of New York City’s fiscal situation at the time. Most recently, MTA/NYCT undertook an extensive Major Investment Study (MIS) and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), published in 1999, that analyzed a wide range of possible alternatives to ease transit problems on Manhattan’s East Side. That study, known as the Manhattan East Side Transit Alternatives (MESA) Study, was undertaken in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the MIS process established by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), now the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). For more information on the process and the extensive public outreach effort for the MESA Study, see Chapter 4, “Public Outreach and Review Process.” The MIS/DEIS evaluated a large number of possible alternatives, considering the project’s goals and objectives,

    APPENDIX E.1 SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Appendix E.1: Social and Economic Conditions OVERVIEW This appendix supports Chapter 6, “Social and Economic Conditions,” of the FEIS, with additional information on the small study areas, on methods of analysis, and on overall zoning and public policy in the entire study area, as follows. E.1: Station and Shaft Site Study Areas E.2: Maps and Photographs of Station and Shaft Site Study Areas E.3: Zoning Background E.4: Zoning Maps for Neighborhood Zones E.5: Methodologies E.1. STATION AND SHAFT SITE STUDY AREAS INTRODUCTION Section E.1 of the appendix focuses on the existing social and economic conditions in the smaller “station study areas,” which comprise those blocks surrounding a proposed construction site that could be most directly affected by construction activities (as well as the specific activities associated with new stations once the project is operational). Station study areas generally extend one avenue east and west of the subway alignment, and one block north and south of the station excavation area except where “superblocks” (combined city blocks) exist, in which case the station study areas may extend an extra block. If a shaft site or staging area is proposed within a station study area, one combined study area is used for both activities. In certain cases, a proposed station is located at the border of two neighborhood zones, with a portion of the station study area falling within each zone. In these instances, the station is analyzed within the northern of the two neighborhood zones where a portion of the station is located and this analysis is referenced in the southern neighborhood zone that also contains a portion of the station area.

  • Chapter 5B: Transportation—Subway and Commuter Rail A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
    Chapter 5B: Transportation—Subway and Commuter Rail As described in Chapter 1, “Project Purpose and Need,” Manhattan’s East Side is served by only one north-south subway line, the Lexington Avenue Line (456). As a result, the Lexington Avenue Line is crowded, and service delays occur. The proposed Second Avenue Subway Line would significantly expand north-south subway service on the East Side, improving transit conditions for residents, workers, and visitors. In addition to the benefit of the new subway line, the East Side would also see greatly improved conditions on the Lexington Avenue Line. This chapter describes the new Second Avenue Subway’s effects on the Lexington Avenue Line and on other elements of the city’s subway system, operated by Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) New York City Transit (NYCT), and other MTA-operated services. As described later in this chapter, these effects include temporary service disruptions that would occur during construction as well as the permanent benefits that would result once the project is operational. A. EXISTING CONDITIONS SERVICE PROVIDED NYCT’s existing subway system on the East Side of Manhattan is described below. PRIMARY EAST SIDE SUBWAY SERVICE Within Manhattan, southbound service on the Lexington Avenue Line (456) begins at 125th Street (originating from points in the Bronx). Local service on the southbound 6 route ends at the Brooklyn Bridge Station, and the last express stop within Manhattan on the 45 routes is at the Bowling Green Station. South of this station, service continues into Brooklyn. Nine of the 23 stations on the Lexington Avenue Line in Manhattan are express stops.
