Healthy Communities; Traffic Calming & Safety Policy Statements And Land Use Law Center Gaining Ground Information Database Topic: Healthy Communities; Traffic Calming & Safety Resource Type: Policy Statements and Planning Documents State: New York Jurisdiction Type: Municipal Municipality: Ossining Year (adopted, written, etc.): 2009 Community Type – applicable to: Urban; Suburban Title: Traffic Signals and Narrower Lanes to Improve Safety Document Last Updated in Database: March 18, 2019 Abstract Ossining, New York’s Comprehensive Plan includes traffic-calming measures to be implemented throughout the village, though particularly on Route 9. Route 9 is the primary north-south arterial reaching through Ossining and onto major highways in New York. Route 9’s increasingly congested condition has resulted in residential road use throughout the village. These residential roads are narrow, steep, and winding, and often dangerous during inclement weather. Ossining’s goal is to improve pedestrian safety and comfort, and to change the behavior of motorists who would otherwise use residential roads to bypass congestion on the major roads. One traffic-calming measure employed by the New York State Department of Transportation re-striping. Re-striping to a narrower lane slows traffic and increases the safety of the roads. What congestion might be created by this process is mitigated by the town’s restructured traffic signal timing and coordination which is based on traffic data collection. Restructured traffic signals are also meant to increase the safety of pedestrians crossing wide sections of Route 9 by increasing the time allotted. New traffic lights are to be implemented at strategic intersections where congestion and hazards typically occurs. Data collection is to be continued on the sections of the road that underwent re-striping and signal light restructuring in order to assess the effect of the measures. Adaptations to the original plan should be made as needed.

Introduction Village of O s s i n i n g Comprehensive Plan 1 The Village of Ossining is proud of its historic, scenic and socially diverse character. It is quite unlike the homoge- neous majority of Westchester County. Although only situ- ated within three square miles, Ossining has a population of approximately 24,000 people and contains an assortment of land uses, social diversity and an abundance of public amenities. The Village is almost completely developed and offers a good quality of life. The Village, located on the east- ern shore of the Hudson River 30 miles north of New York City, is also one of a number of river towns with older industrial/waterfront and historic/downtown areas in need of investment and poised for a revival complete with significant public amenities.

Additional Outside Groups Spreadsheet INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In April 2017, the Village of Ossining’s Mayor and Board of Trustees invited an energized group of community members to participate in a newly-formed Downtown Redevelopment Working Committee (DRWC). We are comprised of 20 community members from diverse backgrounds and age groups, including business owners, local not-for-profit leaders, commuters, and government officials. While the DRWC emerged from a vigorous village-wide debate over downtown traffic patterns, it evolved into an exciting process of reimagining, reigniting, and reinvigorating our Downtown. The DRWC was tasked with looking at our Downtown with a new lens. Our members imagined, without limits, what could be possible for our community. Our volunteers collectively spent hundreds of hours meeting as a large group, in subcommittees, and engaging in research individually. During our 90-day tenure, we shared visions for our Downtown, received a presentation from our Village Historian on the current state of development, engaged in an analysis of our Downtown’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (S.W.OT.), received a presentation on zoning from the Village Director of Planning and Development, and participated in a walking tour.

  • Transportation
    OSSINING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Chapter 6: Transportation Goal Improve traffic conditions and roadway safety throughout the Village, increase pedestrian and bicycle opportunities, and support cost effective transit improvements. 6.1 Commutation Patterns As discussed in Chapter 5, Ossining is predominantly a bedroom community for residents who commute to New York City and other employment centers in the region. Demographic data helps to further depict general commutation patterns and trends in the Village. Census data detailed in Table 1 show that the overall number of workers who commute to the Village as of 2017 decreased by 16% since 2002, whereas the number of residents who commute outside of the Village for work has increased. 1 As of 2017, 91% of residents commute to locations outside of the Village for work.
