TRAVEL ADVISORY Full Closures of Ramp from westbound Grand Central Parkway (Exit 13W) to westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway in Queens Late Nights to Following Mornings (10 PM to 5 AM), on or about nights of December 3 to 6 Late Night to Following Morning (11 PM to 8 AM), on or about Friday night, December 7 (Weather Permitting) The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is advising motorists of full closures of the ramp from the westbound Grand Central Parkway (Exit 13W) to westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway in Queens, late nights to the following mornings (10 p.m. to 5 a.m.), on or about nights of December 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th, and late night to the following morning (11 p.m. to 8 a.m.), on or about Friday night, December 7th (weather permitting). Motorists should use the following signed detour: From the westbound Grand Central Parkway, take Exit 15 (Union Turnpike) and proceed westbound on Union Turnpike for 1.3 miles; Enter the westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway at the Metropolitan Avenue entrance. These closures are needed to facilitate removal of the old southbound Van Wyck Expressway viaduct (elevated highway), as part of a $110 million Phase III construction project at the Kew Gardens Interchange in Queens. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver’s license. It is imperative that motorists drive carefully through the construction zone, for their own safety and the safety of workers. Recently, NYSDOT and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee unveiled a new public service announcement (PSA) and social media campaign focused on the importance of respecting flagging personnel. This year’s work zone safety campaign, “Flaggers have families too,” is designed to remind motorists that flagging personnel are not attempting to disrupt traffic – they are simply doing their jobs and want to get home safely at the end of each work day. The PSA can be viewed here and here. For up-to-date travel information, call 511 or visit www.511NY.org. Follow New York State DOT on Twitter: @NYSDOT_NYC.

Project Context
PIN X735.82 Van Wyck Expressway Capacity and Access Improvements to JFK Airport Project DDR/DEIS CHAPTER 2 Project Context PIN X735.82 Van Wyck Expressway Capacity and Access Improvements to JFK Airport Project DDR/DEIS Project Context 2.1 PROJECT HISTORY As part of a post-World War II $200-million development program, and in anticipation of an increased population size, the City of New York sought to expand its highway and parkway system to allow for greater movement throughout the five boroughs. The six-lane Van Wyck Expressway (VWE) was envisioned to help carry passengers quickly from the newly constructed Idlewild Airport (present-day John F. Kennedy International Airport [JFK Airport]) to Midtown Manhattan. In 1945, the City of New York developed a plan to expand the then-existing Van Wyck Boulevard into an expressway. The City of New York acquired the necessary land in 1946 and construction began in 1948, lasting until 1953. The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) bridges for Jamaica Station, which were originally constructed in 1910, were reconstructed in 1950 to accommodate the widened roadway. The designation of the VWE as an interstate highway started with the northern sections of the roadway between the Whitestone Expressway and Kew Gardens Interchange (KGI) in the 1960s. By 1970, the entire expressway was a fully designated interstate: I-678 (the VWE). In 1998, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) began work on AirTrain JFK, an elevated automated guideway transit system linking downtown Jamaica to JFK Airport. AirTrain JFK utilizes the middle of the VWE roadway to create an unimpeded link, connecting two major transportation hubs in Queens.

Property Characteristics Upon Completion
13-190 Property Characteristics Upon completion of the new construction project, the subject property will be in similar condition to the comparable retail buildings, warranting similar rental rates. Therefore, the comparable rentals did not warrant any adjustments for this factor. CONCLUSION – RETAIL MARKET RENTS AND TERMS As previously discussed, the local retail market has a high demand and a limited supply of retail space, particularly for smaller sized units (under 3,000 square feet). Conversations with local brokers indicated that the immediate DUMBO ground floor market contains 300,037± square feet of rentable area of which 21,630± square feet (7.2%) is currently vacant. Of the vacant rentable area there are seven vacancies of larger unit sizes between 3,300± and 7,000± square feet. The local brokers indicated that units smaller than 3,000± square feet are in high demand in the local market. In addition spaces available for food services and restaurant related uses are in greater demand than typical consumer goods retail uses. Any proposed retail redevelopment of the subject property could be divided into smaller retail units containing average unit sizes of less than 3,000± square feet. The adjusted comparable rents were as follows: Comparables Adjusted Rent/Sq. Ft. 1 $50.00 2 $42.00 3 $44.00 4 $62.00 5 $50.00 6 $21.12 7 $40.95 8 $33.00 The subject’s location adjacent to the eastern edge of the Brooklyn Bridge Park, the overshadowing presence of the Manhattan Bridge, and the noise pollution which the traffic flow across the bridge reduce the desirability of the subject location.

Nysdot Kew Gardens Project Bim As an As-Built Record
Case Study NYSDOT KEW GARDENS PROJECT BIM AS AN AS-BUILT RECORD BACKGROUND This case study covers the overall building information modeling (BIM) for infrastructure The New York State approach used in the Kew Gardens Interchange (KGI) project, as well as considerations Department of Transportation for model development and positive impacts to the project as a result of BIM use. (NYSDOT) used building information modeling (BIM) for the Kew Gardens Interchange (KGI) Reconstruction Project (Figure 1) in Queens, New York, during the third phase of the project. By making a three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) model an as-built record, the digital 3D model was refined and updated throughout construction completion. This accurate and complete as-built record (including underground utilities) was created for ongoing maintenance, operations, and asset management purposes during the life cycle of the Bernstein Associates Photographers, Tarrytown, NY, used with permission Figure 1. Section of the Kew Gardens Interchange Project during construction interchange. BIM FOR INFRASTRUCTURE APPROACH The KGI is the complex intersection of the Grand Central Parkway, the Van Wyck Expressway, the Jackie Robinson Parkway, and the Union Turnpike that serves nearly 600,000 vehicles daily. The NYSDOT is making a number of operational improvements at the interchange to enhance safety and improve traffic flow, with four construction contracts worth almost $700 million and with Phase 1 breaking ground in 2010. Due to the project’s complexity, BIM was used as an as-built record, which was used in subsequent phases of the project. Phase 3 of the KGI was the first design-bid-build (DBB) project to have a NYSDOT BIM requirement and was ongoing as of December 2019.
