Hylan Boulevard Transportation Improvement Study a Multimodal Approach to Improving Mobility and Safety Prepared for Prepared by New York City In Association with Department of Transportation Howard/Stein-Hudson Associates Hylan Boulevard Sam Schwartz Engineering Transportation Improvement Study Vanasse Hangen Brustlin May 2012 Hylan Boulevard Transportation Improvement Study A Multimodal Approach to Improving Mobility and Safety Hylan Boulevard Transportation Improvement Study Executive Summary he approximately 16-mile long Hylan Boulevard Project corridor is one of Staten Island’s most heavily utilized transportation corridors and is a vital link for bus riders and vehicular traffic traveling between the T Staten Island Mall, the South Shore of Staten Island, and Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and beyond via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. (For the purpose of this study, the Project corridor refers to the route of the local S79 bus.) This corridor was one of five that the Client team-consisting of Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) New York City Transit (NYCT) and the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT)-selected for implementation of Select Bus Service (the branded name of Bus Rapid Transit in the City of New York). Based on an assessment of transportation conditions along the Project corridor and input provided at meetings with the public and with other stakeholders, the following conditions were defined along this corridor: • Bus travel time is slow, with one-way travel time on the S79 from the beginning to the end of the route generally exceeding one hour. • The frequency and location of local and express bus stops along Hylan Boulevard and the high volume of buses serving these stops adds to congestion along the corridor. • The absence of sidewalks, pedestrian ramps and pedestrian refuges at some locations along the corridor restricts mobility, access to bus stops and safety for pedestrians and bus passengers. As a result of this feedback, NYCT and NYCDOT employed a comprehensive approach to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion, and improve transit service as part of the implementation of Select Bus Service. The goals of the Hylan Boulevard Transportation Improvement project are: • IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW, BUS TRAVEL TIME AND RELIABILITY • IMPROVE TRANSIT ACCESS TO MANHATTAN, BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND DESTINATIONS • IMPROVE SAFETY FOR ALL CORRIDOR USERS, INCLUDING MOTORISTS, TRANSIT RIDERS, AND PEDESTRIANS ALONG THE HYLAN BOULEVARD CORRIDOR. Led by the consulting firm AECOM, and based on input from a diverse group of project stakeholders, including the public, elected and appointed officials, this study recommends a series of treatments to accomplish these objectives. As shown in Exhibit ES-1, the recommended plan embodies a multi-modal approach to improving mobility and safety for pedestrians, motorists, and transit riders. Principal recommendations include the following: i Hylan Boulevard Transportation Improvement Study Bus Lanes: Curb bus lanes are proposed along the northern two miles of Hylan Boulevard, between Lincoln Avenue and Steuben Street. This is an area where there are currently rush hour parking prohibitions and where bus ridership on local and express buses is highest. Bus lanes here would save travel time for bus passengers. Additionally, short segments of curb bus lanes and offset (interior) bus lanes are recommended in the following locations to help buses bypass congestion: • Curb bus lane on westbound 92nd Street, between Dahlgren Place and Fort Hamilton Parkway, in Bay Ridge • Offset bus lane on southbound (“Brooklyn-bound”) Richmond Avenue from Shirley Avenue to Hylan Boulevard • Curb bus lane on northbound (“Staten Island Mall-bound”) Richmond Avenue from approximately one- quarter mile north of Drumgoole Road to Platinum Avenue. Modified Curb Regulations: In conjunction with implementing bus lanes along Hylan Boulevard, curb regulations would be adjusted to prohibit parking in the bus lanes. Currently along Hylan Boulevard, parking and standing in the curb lane are prohibited in the peak direction of travel (6-9 AM northbound and 4-7 PM southbound). These restrictions would remain in effect, although the evening restriction would begin one hour earlier (3 PM). A long-term proposal would additionally prohibit parking and standing in the reverse-peak direction. Parking would be permitted in the curb lane adjacent to the offset bus lane on southbound Richmond Avenue. Standing would be prohibited Monday to Friday 6-9 AM and 3-7 PM in the bus lane on northbound Richmond Avenue. Parking regulations would be changed to prohibit standing in the bus lane along 92nd Street. Streamlined Bus Service: The Project would replace the S79 local bus service with a S79 Select Bus Service. All other local and express bus routes would be maintained throughout the corridor. The S79 SBS would generally maintain the path of the existing S79 route, but operate with fewer stops. It is recommended that the S79 SBS route be streamlined near the Eltingville Transit Center, which would enable Staten Island Mall-bound SBS buses to avoid passing through the signalized intersection of Richmond Avenue and Arthur Kill Road twice. In conjunction with this rerouting a separate stop exclusively for northbound S79 SBS buses would be created along the north curbline in the Eltingville Transit Center station site. The S79 SBS would also be re- routed to provide a more direct path to the Staten Island Mall by avoiding the congested and lightly patronized portions of the route on Forest Hill Road, Yukon Avenue and Richmond Hill Road. These changes would reduce bus travel time and provide faster service. SBS Stations: The S79 SBS would operate with fewer, more widely-spaced stations than the current S79 service. SBS stations would be provided at When will improvements major intersections and transfer points. Limiting the S79 service to these key be implemented? locations would enable buses to achieve higher travel speeds between Bus lanes and streamlined bus stations and reduce overall travel time along the corridor. service would be implemented by the Fall 2012. Treatments Improved Bus Stations: At some stations, local and/or express bus stops that involve construction or would be slightly relocated to facilitate buses accessing the curb, to provide coordination with external more space for waiting customers and to facilitate buses passing each other. stakeholders would be Other improvements include new bus shelters, larger waiting areas, and implemented in 2013. bicycle racks.

An Advance Signal reduces weaving between buses and vehicles, reduces delay and allows other vehicles, reduces delay and allows for more efficient and safer flow. for more efficient and safer flow. If successful, other locations would be identified and pursued. Advance Signals are proposed at three locations along Hylan Pedestrian Safety: Where sufficient space exists and geometrically Boulevard. feasible, medians at several signalized intersections along Hylan Boulevard and Richmond Avenue would be extended into crosswalks to reduce the crossing distance and provide refuge for pedestrians to cross the road in stages. Sidewalks would be constructed where none exist to improve access to bus stops. Pedestrian ramps that conform to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 requirements would be provided where none exist at SBS stations. Roadway Improvements: Portions of Hylan Boulevard that are in need of repair would be resurfaced. Lane lines and crosswalks would be refurbished as required to improve visibility. Medians would be widened and landscaped, where sufficient space exists, to provide greater separation between opposing lanes of traffic, to beautify the street and reduce surface runoff. Conclusion: The recommended plan was developed in conjunction with stakeholders. It is multimodal, combining improvements for bus customers, pedestrians and drivers. Bus customers would experience faster and more reliable service through the combination of priority bus treatments, TSP, a streamlined route path and less congested bus stops. When buses move faster, all traffic moves faster. Drivers gain traffic flow and safety benefits from improved traffic signal timing, the addition of left turn lanes, refurbished roads and pavement markings. Pedestrian safety improvements along the corridor include the addition of median islands where pedestrians can wait or find refuge while crossing Hylan Boulevard, as well as the addition of curb cuts and sidewalks

  • About Fresh Kills
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION : 2001 ABOUT FRESH KILLS Fresh Kills Landfill is located on the western shore of Staten Island. Approximately half the 2,200-acre landfill is composed of four mounds, or sections, identified as 1/9, 2/8, 3/4 and 6/7 which range in height from 90 feet to approximately 225 feet. These mounds are the result of more than 50 years of landfilling, primarily household waste. Two of the four mounds are fully capped and closed; the other two are being prepared for final capping and closure. Fresh Kills is a highly engineered site, with numerous systems put in place to protect public health and environmental safety. However, roughly half the site has never been filled with garbage or was filled more than twenty years ago. These flatter areas and open waterways host everything from landfill infrastructure and roadways to intact wetlands and wildlife habitats. The potential exists for these areas, and eventually, the mounds themselves, to support broader and more active uses. With effective preparation now, the city can, over time, transform this controversial site into an important asset for Staten Island, the city and the region. Before dumping began, Fresh Kills Landfill was much like the rest of northwest Staten Island. That is, most of the landfill was a salt or intertidal marsh. The topography was low-lying, with a subsoil of clay and soils of sand and silt. The remainder of the area was originally farmland, either actively farmed, or abandoned and in stages of succession. Although Fresh Kills Landfill is not a wholly natural environment, the site has developed its own unique ecology.

  • Fresh Kills Park East Park Roads SEIS
    Chapter 1: Project Description A. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION PROJECT BACKGROUND The City of New York, with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation (DPR) as lead agency, is proposing park roads within the larger Fresh Kills Park, specifically within the proposed East Park. East Park is approximately 482 acres in size and is City-owned property under the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY). The boundaries of the East Park are defined to the east by Richmond Avenue; and to the west and south by Main and Richmond Creeks. Fresh Kills Park was the subject of a comprehensive environmental review that was completed with the Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement (FGEIS) released on March 13, 2009. This Supplemental EIS (SEIS) is being prepared to analyze in greater detail the potential impacts of the East Park road system, its alignment within the proposed East Park, and potential alternatives. The project site is located in the southwest portion of Staten Island, within Staten Island Community Board 2 (see Figures 1-1 and 1-2). During the latter half of the 20th century, Fresh Kills Landfill operated as the City’s principal municipal solid waste landfill, receiving household and municipal solid waste between 1948 and 2001. A state law enacted in 1996 mandated that solid waste landfill operations cease at Fresh Kills by December 31, 2001; landfilling subsequently ended on March 22, 2001. After that date, Fresh Kills Landfill was temporarily used only for the disposal of materials from the attacks of September 11, 2001. With the cessation of disposal operations at Fresh Kills Landfill, final closure and post-closure activities are underway.
