The site is mostly developed with commercial uses along Straight Path, industrial uses on multiple lots between Booker and Wyandanch Avenues, and residential uses along Wyandanch Avenue, with about 1 acre of vacant land on or near Garrison Avenue. A church is also located on-site. On of the site’s buildings is vacant and another is partially vacant. Assessment of Overall Importance and Ranking: High Medium Low Property Description: (Describe physical characteristics of the property, buildings, and natural features based on field observations and/or aerial photographs.) The site is generally characterized by underutilized commercial properties fronting on Straight Path, blighted oil tank services properties along Garrison Avenue, and a large industrial cement manufacturing plant on lots bounded by Wyandanch Avenue to the north, Booker Avenue to the south, and Straight Path to the east. The industrial use is incompatible with the adjacent residential uses. Description of Adjacent Land Uses: (Describe existing adjacent land uses.) The site is surrounded by residential uses to the north and south, commercial, municipal, and residential uses to the east, and residential properties to the west. Use and Environmental History: (Based on existing available information, describe the site's operational history, potential contamination issues, and ground water conditions.) Historical uses of the site are unknown. Many of the site’s lots have no environmental concerns. However, the lots associated with industrial uses, including the cement manufacturing plant and oil tank services, are of concern due to the nature of their use. In addition, lot 78-2-48.5 has serious environmental contamination implications due to its industrial land use; petroleum USTs and ASTs removed or with permits expired (potentially in service); three closed spills; and is a RCRA hazardous waste generator/transporter. (See Table 1 for a summary of environmental conditions on each of the site’s individual lots.) Status of Remedial Investigation: (Describe type and status of investigation undertaken and whether or not a remediation strategy has been defined.) An extensive environmental data collection effort was undertaken for the brownfields identified on the site, including a summary of available environmental reports, a review of regulatory records, and limited street-level site inspections. 2 Use Potential and Redevelopment Opportunities: (Describe the type of future use and redevelopment most appropriate for the site.) With over 9 acres, Site E provides ample space for major residential redevelopment and the opportunity to create a more attractive southern gateway into the Straight Path corridor. Currently, a large concrete plant occupies much of the site; however, its location in close proximity to residential uses is inappropriate and should be moved to other nearby industrial areas. In addition, the plant detracts from this southern entryway to Wyandanch and the Straight Path retail corridor. Site E is too far from the train station to be considered part of the transit-oriented development efforts, and is not likely to attract pedestrians from downtown Wyandanch. Therefore, residential uses should be developed throughout the site. In total, up to 197 multi-family housing units are proposed. Ranking Explanation: (Assessment of overall importance and ranking.) Site E is an important potential redevelopment site, due to the presence of underutilized commercial properties and incompatible or blighted industrial properties that detract from the vitality of the area, and its location at the southern gateway to downtown Wyandanch.

  • Waiting and Watching
    Waiting and Watching Results of the New York City Transit Riders Council Bus Service and Destination Signage Survey February 2007 Introduction The members of the New York City Transit Riders Council (NYCTRC) maintain a keen interest in bus and subway operations and use both services extensively. Over the years the NYCTRC has conducted several surveys to monitor bus service. The members have conducted these studies in response to bus service that does not adequately serve transit users’ needs. One of the major complaints of bus riders is that they do not find service to be reliable. Many bus riders complain to the Council that a long wait for service, followed by several buses in quick succession, is a frequent experience. As a result the NYCTRC addressed the problems of bus bunching and unacceptable waiting times between buses in this project. In this survey, the Council members collected arrival and departure times for each bus observed at a survey point. This information allowed us to calculate headways, or the period of time between consecutive buses serving the same route recorded at a given point, for most of the bus runs observed and to make comparisons between actual and scheduled headways. The comparison between actual and scheduled headways was used as an indicator of correct spacing of buses. This indicator is different from a measure of schedule adherence, in which we would have collected run numbers of buses observed and matched them to schedule information. We chose to use the headway comparison rather than schedule adherence in our analysis because riders are primarily concerned with having a bus available at a stop within a given period of time and are less concerned whether a particular bus is operating according to its schedule.

  • Chapter 12: Noise A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 12: Noise A. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to document potential impacts related to noise and vibration due to the operation of the LIRR Expansion Project, along with any potential noise reduction measures that have been included as part of the Proposed Project. The operation of trains results in noise and vibration. Also, when trains approach grade crossings, warning bells and train horns are utilized, temporarily but repeatedly creating significant noise. This chapter assesses the changes to current noise and vibration levels that would result from the Proposed Project. Chapter 13, “Construction,” includes an assessment of noise levels resulting from construction activities associated with the Proposed Project. B. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS AND IMPACTS The results of the noise and vibration assessment indicate that impacts are not predicted under the Proposed Project as a result of several noise and vibration control measures that are integrated into the proposed track design. In fact, with those measures in place, noise and vibration levels would be significantly reduced in virtually all locations compared to existing conditions and the Future Without the Proposed Project. Although LIRR operations are expected to increase between the Future Without the Proposed Project and the Proposed Project, this increase of 6 percent is insignificant compared to the 19 percent increase in operations expected between the Existing Condition and the Future Without the Proposed Project. Compared to the Future Without the Proposed Project,
