  • Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 5.1: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes existing land use, zoning, and public policies applicable to the proposed project and evaluates potential significant adverse effects that may result from implementation of the proposed flood protection system. Potential significant adverse effects to land use as a result of implementing the flood protection system are also evaluated. Potential land use issues include known or likely changes in current land uses within the study area, as well as the proposed project’s potential effect on existing and future land use patterns. Potential zoning and public policy issues include the compatibility of the proposed project with existing zoning and consistency with existing applicable public policies. PROJECT AREA ONE Project Area One extends from Montgomery Street on the south to the north end of John V. Lindsay East River Park (East River Park) at about East 13th Street. Project Area One consists primarily of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt East River Drive (FDR Drive) right-of-way, a portion of Pier 42 and Corlears Hook Park as well as East River Park. The majority of Project Area One is within East River Park and includes four existing pedestrian bridges across the FDR Drive to East River Park (Corlears Hook, Delancey Street, East 6th Street, and East 10th Street Bridges) and the East Houston Street overpass. Project Area One is located within Manhattan Community District 3, and borders portions of the Lower East Side and East Village neighborhoods. PROJECT AREA TWO Project Area Two extends north and east from Project Area One, from East 13th Street to East 25th Street.

  • The Queens Ribbon
    The Queens Ribbon The proposed “Queens Ribbon” a bicycle-pedestrian bridge connecting Queens to Manhattan (rendering by T.Y. Lin International). A plan for three new car-free bridges to Manhattan’s Business District from Queens, Brooklyn, and New Jersey June 24, 2020 Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Background 3. The Need for Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridges 4. Three New Bridges – Alignment Options 5. Queens-Roosevelt Island-Midtown Manhattan Ribbon Bridge Case Study 6. Conclusion Appendices A. Worldwide Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridges B. Bicycling Growth in New York City C. Level of Service on East River Bridges D. Our Team 2 1. Introduction At the start of the Covid-19 crisis a group of transportation engineers began working together, on a pro bono basis, to develop a transportation system that would provide an almost risk-free method of travel to Manhattan’s Central Business District (CBD – Manhattan south of Central Park). The impetus for this grouping was the realization that the city may face similar epidemics, a severe flu season, or other man-made or natural disasters in the future. Experience told the group that the two forms of transportation that are most risk-free from both infections and crashes are walking and bicycling. These “active transportation” options are also healthy modes that burn calories, and build muscle, bone, heart, and lung strength while improving mental and emotional health. From this discussion, the idea of a bicycle-pedestrian bridge was born. Importantly, these facilities would be equitable. Costs to use them would be a pair of shoes or a bicycle. The group included teams from the Institute of Design & Each bridge could handle Construction (IDC) Innovation Hub of the NYU Tandon School approximately 20,000 people of Engineering, T.Y.

  • Construction Begins on $100 Million East Midtown Greenway Project December 17, 2019 - Front Section
    Construction begins on $100 million East Midtown Greenway project December 17, 2019 - Front Section Manhattan, NY Mayor Bill de Blasio, deputy mayor for housing and economic development Vicki Been, NYC EDC president and CEO James Patchett, NYC parks commissioner Mitchell Silver, and NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) commissioner Polly Trottenberg celebrated the start of construction on the East Midtown Greenway (EMG), a new waterfront public open space. The project, which will stretch from East 53rd to 61st Sts., is part of the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway initiative to create accessible waterfront public space and safe bicycle pathways along the entire perimeter of the borough. Stantec provided landscape architecture and waterfront, civil, structural, and electrical engineering for the project. Skanska is serving as construction manager for the project. “Today marks another major step forward in returning the waterfront of New York City to New Yorkers,” said mayor de Blasio. “I look forward to the day when families and friends can relax and enjoy the East Midtown Greenway—an oasis in the heart of our city.” The EMG will address the city’s lack of connection to the waterfront for East Midtown communities by creating a continuous 40-ft. wide esplanade over the water parallel to FDR Dr., allowing pedestrians and cyclists to experience water on both sides. The $100 million project, which will create 1.5 acres of new waterfront park space, is expected to be completed by 2022. Once open, NYC Parks will maintain the EMG. As part of the EMG project, renovations and an extension will be carried out to Andrew Haswell Green Park, which borders the greenway to the north, including a new ADA-accessible pedestrian bridge.

  • East River Greenway—East Side Open
    Testimony of Roland Lewis, President and CEO on Oversight - East Side Open Space East Side Open Space Public Forum Thursday, September 20, 5pm – 8pm Good evening and thank you for the opportunity to testify. I am Louis Kleinman and I am speaking for Roland Lewis, President of the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance. The Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance is a coalition of over 560 organizations working together to transform the New York Harbor and its waterways into a world-class resource for work, play, transit and education. Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance supports the completion of the East River Greenway. I am personally thrilled that the completion of the East River Greenway is finally within reach. Building an East River Greenway will finally give our community the waterfront access it deserves – with an unbroken promenade for biking, walking and being outdoors. We can give the East Side access to their waterfront for the first time in more than a half a century and add needed open space to the East Side, which has the lowest ratio of park land to residents and workers in the City. The legislation Gov. Cuomo signed in July authorizing the UN to expand its campus unlocks the revenue needed to build the missing portion of the East River Greenway between 38th and 60th Streets. Without this revenue – the new promenade along the East River from 38th to 60th Streets—the last remaining gap in the East Side greenway—and other park investments in the community would otherwise go unfunded. We have the opportunity to increase the overall open space on the East Side by close to 130,000 square feet.

  • Chapter 5.10 – Neighborhood Character
    Chapter 5.10: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the effects of the proposed project on neighborhood character. As defined in the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, neighborhood character is an amalgam of various elements that give neighborhoods their distinct “personality.” These elements may include a neighborhood’s land use, socioeconomic conditions, open space, historic and cultural resources, urban design and visual resources, shadows, transportation, and/or noise. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, neighborhood character effects are rare, and it would be under unusual circumstances that, in the absence of an effect in any of the relevant technical areas, a combination of moderate effects to the neighborhood would result in an effect to neighborhood character. Moreover, a significant effect identified in one of the technical areas that contributes to a neighborhood’s character is not automatically equivalent to a significant effect on neighborhood character. Rather, it serves as an indication that neighborhood character may be significantly affected. This examination focuses on whether a defining feature of the neighborhood’s character may be significantly affected by the proposed project. Since many of the relevant components of neighborhood character are considered in other sections of this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), this chapter has been coordinated with those analyses. STUDY AREA The neighborhood character study area (study area) mirrors the study area used for the socioeconomic analysis, shown on Figure 5.2-1. The northern boundary of the study area is East 34th Street between First Avenue and the East River. The western boundary of the study area is First Avenue between East 29th and East 34th Streets; Third Avenue between East 3rd and East 29th Streets; and Allen, Clinton, Norfolk, Essex, and Pike Streets between East 3rd Street and South Street.

  • MTA New York City Transit Canarsie Tunnel Project Supplemental Environmental Assessment
    MTA New York City Transit Canarsie Tunnel Project Supplemental Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Review July 2018 Prepared by MTA New York City Transit Prepared for Federal Transit Administration MTA New York City Transit Canarsie Tunnel Project Supplemental Environmental Assessment Abstract The Metropolitan Transportation Authority New York City Transit (MTA NYCT) proposes to implement a Alternative Services Plan (ASP), which will serve the L train ridership during a planned 15-month, full- time, double-track closure of the L train in Manhattan and between Brooklyn and Manhattan. The proposed ASP has been developed to provide transit and mobility options to L train riders to the greatest extent practicable during the temporary 15-month service suspension, balanced against the needs of residents in the vicinity of existing L train service and other users of the transportation network. MTA NYCT has conducted significant analysis and public outreach to inform the proposed ASP and has presented details of the proposed ASP to the affected communities in an iterative fashion as plans have been developed. The proposed ASP can be summarized as follows: Increased temporary alternative subway service during peak and off-peak hours New temporary bus routes, including one across 14th Street and four over the Williamsburg Bridge between Brooklyn and Manhattan New temporary ferry service between Williamsburg, Brooklyn and Stuyvesant Cove, Manhattan Station access and capacity improvements Additional temporary bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure

  • Chapter 5: Open Space
    Chapter 5: Open Space A. INTRODUCTION The proposed actions would not result in any significant adverse impacts to open space. The proposed actions would not result in a decrease in open space ratios in the study area. In accordance with guidelines established in the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, this chapter assesses the adequacy of those resources in the residential open space study area and the proposed actions’ potential effect on their use. An open space assessment is necessary when a proposed action could potentially have a direct or indirect effect on open space resources. A direct impact physically changes, diminishes, or eliminates an open space or reduces its utilization or aesthetic value. An indirect effect occurs when the population generated by a proposed project or action could noticeably diminish the capacity of an area’s open space to serve the future populations. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, a project that would add fewer than 200 residents or 500 employees, or a similar number of other users to an area, is typically not considered to have indirect effects on open space. As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” in order to assess the possible short- and long- term effects of the proposed actions, a reasonable worst-case development scenario (RWCDS) was developed. The new development as a result of the proposed actions would result in a net increase of 1,383 residential units and 2,723 new residents on the projected development sites, coupled with a net decrease of 74,439 square feet of commercial space and its associated 186 workers.
