As the incorrect entry location is often difficult to ascertain, effective prevention of this type of crash must involve systematic treatments at all possible access points. NYSDOT has issued a directive to implement standard and enhanced packages of traffic control countermeasures at all expressway ramp termini under DOT maintenance jurisdiction. Also, the ongoing issue of bridge strikes has significant safety and economic impact on the State of New York, with a particularly high level of occurrence on the State’s Parkway System. To address this issue, NYSDOT has issued a directive to implement a standard package of countermeasures and enhanced countermeasures at all low clearance bridge locations under DOT maintenance jurisdiction. PROJECT OBJECTIVE(S): To bring expressway ramp termini and low clearance bridge locations into compliance with Statewide design standards, Federal MUTCD Section 2B.41, NYS MUTCD, and Section 1621(c) of NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law by providing effective signing to promote safe and efficient traffic flow.

  • SECTION II Inventory and Analysis
    DRAFT - Town of Porter Local Waterfront Revitalization Program SECTION II Inventory and Analysis The Town of Porter has extensive areas of waterfront along Lake Ontario and the Niagara River. These shoreline areas are distinctly different. Most of the waterfront area, particularly along the lake, is well-established with residential uses. These areas have retained a rural character that is enhanced by their shoreline locations. With limited areas of public land, the Town desires to provide opportunities for public access to the greatest extent possible. The Town would also like to establish multi-use trails that would become part of the regional Niagara River Greenway system, allowing a connection with the adjoining Town of Lewiston and the City of Niagara Falls to the south and the Town of Wilson to the east. This local waterfront revitalization program is aimed at improving the quality of life in the waterfront area and taking advantage of existing assets along the Niagara River and Lake Ontario. The following provides an overview of the analysis of existing waterfront conditions and resources. 2.1 Summary of Issues and Opportunities in the Waterfront Revitalization Area 2.1.1 Findings . The Town of Porter waterfront possesses a quaint, rural character, making it an attractive place for residents and visitors alike. The waterfront is primarily residential in nature; there are no water-dependent uses and no waterfront commercial activity. Lake Road (State Route 18) and Lower River Road (State Route 18F) are both designated segments of the New York Great Lakes Seaway Trail, are State-designated Scenic By-Ways, and are designated as portions of the Historic Niagara Trail, validating the scenic and cultural importance of these shoreline thoroughfares.

  • Cotinus Coggygria (Smoke Tree) at Niagara Falls and Along Porter Road, Niagara Falls, NY, with Notes on Its Use As an Indicator Species
    Patricia M. Eckel Missouri Botanical Garden St. Louis, Missouri, USA October 29, 2018 Res Botanica Technical Report 2018-10-29 The distribution of Cotinus coggygria (Smoke Tree) at Niagara Falls and along Porter Road, Niagara Falls, NY, with notes on its use as an indicator species On May 24, 2002, according to field notes, two plants of European Smoke Tree (Cotinus coggygria Scop.), a large shrub and a smaller descendent, were observed at Artpark, a State Park in the village of Lewiston, Niagara Co., New York, owned by the New York Power Authority (NYPA). NYPA, apparently, also owns the nearby Robert Moses Park- way, especially the part that descends the Niagara Escarpment from the gorge upper bank, as well as the Spoil Area, now called the “Lewiston Plateau,” adjacent to Artpark. These are among the extensive areas buried under the rocky material excavated to create the NYPA reservoir and the forebay leading to the hydroelectric generators that flank Lewiston Road and the part of the Robert Moses Parkway north of Devil’s Hole State Park. The Artpark site for Cotinus is situated on the Ontario Lake plain at the base of the Niagara Escarpment. The trees were planted in association with a utility building, and grow in thin soil on a low, stony, calcareous bluff overlooking the Niagara River in the midst of an old thicket of White Oak (Quercus alba) with some Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) and Red Oak (Quercus rubra), heavily invested with weedy shrubs such as Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and Tartarian Honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica). The smaller plant of Cotinus was apparently the offspring (an escape) of its larger mother tree and the two plants have seemed to flourish at Arkpark (Eckel 2005).

Wendy Salvati of WWS Planning led the meeting, which was to review progress to date on the Town’s LWRP. By a show of hands, about half of the audience had attended the first public meeting. In addition to the agenda, the following handouts were provided to attendees: • A summary of issues and opportunities; • A summary of the proposed policies; • A summary of proposed Town projects and studies; and • A summary of proposed local laws necessary to implement the LWRP. Wendy Salvati introduced members of the committee overseeing the LWRP. She provided a brief overview of the project. The LWRP is a document that will guide waterfront planning and development in a manner consistent with federal and state coastal zone management policies, while enabling more local control. She went over the proposed expansion of the Local Waterfront Revitalization Area (LWRA), or boundary (see map). It was noted, in response to a question from the audience, that the LWRA excludes the Village of Youngstown, which is has its own LWRP, which is currently being updated separately from this project. Issues and Opportunities: a number of issues and opportunities have been identified for the LWRA in Porter. The full list was provided in a handout, but major assets include opportunities for scenic views, new trail connections, expanded public use at local parks (Porter on the Lake, State Parks).
