    Maneuvering Mobility: Measuring Multimodality in New York City’s Selected Transit Hubs A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Faisha Namira Indrakesuma May 2018 Advisor: Dr. Weiping Wu, Director of MS Urban Planning Program, GSAPP Reader: Jonas Hagen, PhD Candidate Urban Planning Program, GSAPP Abstract The main purpose of this research is to answer the question of how New York City encourages multimodality through institutional and fare integration and how different transportation hubs within the city service multimodality through physical design. This research is primarily a qualitative study that heavily relies on direct field observations as well as reviews of the relevant literature. The analysis of this thesis is broken down into three main categories of multimodality integration: institutional, fare, and physical. The analysis of physical integration is focused on three transportation hubs: namely the Atlantic Terminal, the Wall Street Ferry Station, and the Harlem 125th Street Station. This thesis finds that New York City is a unique context in the organizations that are active in daily operations of public transportation. This institutional division of operations would consequently lead to low integration. While the presence of different transportation modes are continually present in proximity to each other, the ease of transfer most of the time is coincidental based on density and frequency of service and has little to do with intentional integration. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the wonderful faculty and students of the Columbia University Urban Planning Program who have nurtured and fed my passion for urban planning.

  • Chapter 13: Transit and Pedestrians A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 13: Transit and Pedestrians A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the transit and pedestrian travel characteristics and potential impacts associated with the proposed Atlantic Yards Arena and Redevelopment project located on an approximately 22-acre site in the Atlantic Terminal area of Brooklyn, roughly bounded by Flatbush and 4th Avenues on the west, Vanderbilt Avenue on the east, Atlantic Avenue on the north, and Dean and Pacific Streets on the south (see Figure 12-5 in Chapter 12, “Traffic and Parking”). As described in detail in earlier chapters of this environmental impact statement (EIS), in addition to an approximately 850,000 gross-square-foot (gsf) arena for use by the Nets professional basketball team and for other sporting, entertainment, and cultural events, it is anticipated that the proposed project would include residential, office, hotel, and retail uses, eight acres of publicly accessible open space, approximately 3,670 parking spaces, and an improved Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) rail yard. (As discussed in Chapter 1, the development program for the proposed project has been reduced from the program that was analyzed in the DEIS.) Also included would be internal circulation improvements at the Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street subway station complex, and a major new on-site entrance to the complex adjacent to the arena. In addition to the arena, a total of 16 other buildings would be constructed on the eight blocks comprising the project site. These buildings are referred to as Site 5 and Buildings 1 through 15. The proposed project is expected to benefit from its location in an area with one of the densest concentrations of transit services in the City.

  • Welcome to Park
    WELCOME TO PARK SLOPE If you ask Brooklynites for a “quintessential” Brooklyn neighborhood, you might be hard-pressed to find someone who didn’t mention the area of Park Slope. Bordered by Boerum Hill to the west, Prospect Heights to the north, Greenwood Cemetery to the south, and Prospect Park to the east, Park Slope is one of Brooklyn’s largest and most diverse neighborhoods. The feature of the neighborhood is its vicinity to Prospect Park. This 585-acre public park was designed by the same architects as Manhattan’s Central Park, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert B. Vaux, and has opportunities galore for the residents of the area. For kids and families, there are amenities like the Prospect Park Zoo, the Prospect Park Carousel, and horseback riding at Kensington Stables. Visitors can also stop at the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Brooklyn museum which are situated at the North end of the Park. In addition to these attractions, the park offers stunning open fields, running and biking paths, and plenty of places to stop and have a picnic or barbeque. Take a stroll from the park to one of the area’s bustling retail corridors of 5th, 6th and 7th Avenues, and you will see for yourself why New York Magazine cited the neighborhood of Park Slope as the number one neighborhood in all of New York. Park Slope offers attractive tree- lined streets accented by stunning architecture, a superb public school system, public parks, and plethora of dining options. Additionally, as the development of the newly constructed Barclays Center and Atlantic Terminal continue, Park Slope has only benefited by way of new transportation options, restaurants, bars, and retail stores coming to the area.

  • Restoring the B71 Bus
    RESTORING THE B71 BUS You can get there from here! BACKGROUND Route B71 originated circa 1900 as a streetcar from the ferry at the foot of Hamilton Avenue along Union Street to Grand Army Plaza In the 1980s the B71’s western terminus was moved to Van Brunt and Union Streets and the eastern terminus to Rogers Avenue in Crown Heights Heavy traffic on Union Street east of 8th Avenue and on the Eastern Parkway side roads led to frequent delays of service The last end-to-end trips left the termini at 9:00 PM Citing declining ridership, the MTA eliminated the B71 as part of service changes in June 2010 RESTORING THE B71 Elected officials, advocacy groups, and community organizations have urged the restoration of the B71 ever since its discontinuance. The proposal before you starts from the premise that the B71’s route was so problematic, so prone to delays, as to make the route highly unreliable, deterring its use and leading to low ridership. With service ending at 9 PM, the B71 was never an option for people going to other communities for dining, entertainment, or other evening activities. SERVICE GOALS FOR A NEW B71 Frequent, reliable service Connections to many bus and subway routes Increase the number of trip generators; connections to many Schools and Houses of Worship, Parks and Cultural Institutions, and Shopping, dining, and entertainment venues PROJECT GOALS FOR A NEW B71 Eliminate causes of unreliable service on old B71 Avoid Union Street east of 7th Avenue Minimize use of Eastern Parkway Piggyback on existing bus stops as much as possible Utilize B71 bus stops that are still existing Eliminate the minimum number of parking spaces Minimize capital cost THE PROPOSAL Restore the portion of the pre-2010 B71 between Columbia Street and 7th Avenue.
