NEIGHBORHOOD/PLAN BACKGROUND The most prominent features of this important circulation hub are the Triborough Bridge and the Harlem River Drive. Together, these two major elements of the NYC vehicular infrastructure handle a tremendous volume of local and regional traffic. Consequently, the City has surrendered use of the area primarily to vehicles. In the mid-1950's, Louis Cuvillier Park was constructed beneath the entrance/exit ramps for the Triborough Bridge. The park's play equipment and ball courts have since been removed and use of the land was recently transferred to the Housing Police Department for parking. Alleys of trees and a wide sidewalk line the north and south sides of 125th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. This pedestrian promenade currently has no destination and therefore is generally unused. At 127th Street and the Harlem River Drive there is on-grade access beneath the Harlem River waterfront. There is no continuation of the existing northbound bicycle lane or pedestrian sidewalk up First Avenue, north of 125th Street. To the south of 125th Street, the Harlem River waterfront is developed as an esplanade with plantings, benches, park lights, and balustrade railing. The area from 125th Street north to 131st Street, which is owned by the Department of Design and Construction, is being used as a holding area for road salt and sand without providing public access. GOALS OF PLAN 1. Enhance the visual character of the 125th Street corridor east of Second Avenue. 2. Provide easy and direct access to the Harlem River waterfront. 3. Improve the overall quality of the pedestrian experience along 125th Street through the East Harlem community RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The Triborough Bridge structure should be used to enhance the view along 125th Street and create a colorful and attractive gateway to the community. Improved pedestrian lighting of decorative cast-iron light posts should line 125th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Improved paving, benches, and additional site furniture should be included to encourage greater use. 2. A new ramp and bridge for pedestrians and cyclists should be built along the former Louis Cuvillier Park to provide safe, attractive, and convenient access to the Harlem River waterfront at the 125th Street terminus. 3. An additional ramp and bridge for pedestrians and cyclists should be built to Randall's Island. 4. There should be a direct route for pedestrians and bicyclists from 125th Street to the waterfront at 127th Street. This plan would include significant new plantings of trees and shrubs to buffer the busy traffic of the Harlem River Drive, and lighting, paving, and provision of benches and other amenities along the route. IDENTIFIED STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTATION 1. Identified budget for each recommendation. PARTICIPATORY PROCESS In early 1999 CIVITAS commissioned R. G. Roesch Architecture & Landscape Architecture P.C. to investigate opportunities for improving the eastern end of the 125th Street corridor. Initial public meetings were conducted the summer of 1999 to identify community needs and issues regarding the eastern end of 125th Street. PARTNERS R. G.

The community district also includes Randall’s and Wards Island. NEIGHBORHOOD/PLAN BACKGROUND In 1967, the community district was formed by bringing two neighborhoods of East Harlem and a Manhattan Island under one jurisdiction. El Barrio/Spanish Harlem (East 96th Street to 125th Street) along with the predominately African-American northern section known as the East Harlem Triangle (East 125th Street to East 142nd Street) was merged to form Manhattan Community District 11. The merger of these two areas was due more to expediency than to any shared culture or outlook. Also included in the district are Randall’s and Wards Islands in the East River, opposite the stretch from East 103rd to East 125th Street. During the 1930s, the islands became accessible via the Triborough Bridge. Shortly after, Robert Moses set about converting them into parks, joining the islands by means of landfill. In 1951 the area became further accessible from East Harlem via a footbridge at 103rd Street. GOALS OF PLAN 1. Increase housing opportunities for all income groups. 2. Strengthen existing retail and business corridors. 3. Rehabilitate all vacant residential buildings by the year 2004. 4. Strengthen educational and employment opportunities. 5. Strengthen cultural resources and recreational space 6. Improve the quality of life. RECOMMENDATIONS The plan contains 137 recommendations; the following selection is listed under various categories. I. Land Use and Zoning: A. Land Use Recommendations 1. Develop parks and other open spaces as close to youth oriented institutions as possible, including schools, day care centers, housing developments and youth community centers. 2. Develop a comprehensive and capital strategy plan to redesign all City parks and land under the jurisdiction of the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation north of East 120th Street. 3. As the City redesigns playgrounds and parks, it should provide adequate street lighting and sidewalk repair around the park. It should seek local agencies and institutions to adopt parks. B. Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) 1. The Department of City Planning must cooperate with CB #11 to expand the notification to affected and nearby agencies, businesses, community-based organizations, institutions and related parties. II. City-Owned Vacant Property: A. Disposition of Vacant City-Owned Lots 1.Small lots adjacent to owner-occupied homes, including cooperatives and condominiums, should be targeted for special programs and in-fill housing. 2. Small lots adjacent to active commercial uses should be marketed to the adjacent commercial property owners with a program similar to AHOP and with a mandatory two-year time frame. 3. East Harlem's qualified community-based organizations should be given first priority for development and preference over outside developers. Developers should have a consistent record of quality and must agree to Community Board 11's concern about local employment. III. Housing and Urban Renewal: A. Housing Recommendations 1. Promote a wide range of housing including middle-income housing by rehabilitating vacant buildings and constructing new mixed-income development on existing vacant lots. Construction of small homes should be part of a home ownership program. Neighborhood-based housing development groups and institutions must be given priority and support these efforts. CB #11 encourages the NYC Housing Partnership homes development. 2. Identify and renovate all occupied and vacant City-owned buildings through programs such as the Neighborhood Entrepreneur Program (NEP), the Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP), the Tenant Interim Lease (TIL) and other useful rehabilitation programs. 3. The City should repossess property purchased at city auctions where the buyer failed to fulfill the purchase contracts for improvements and reclaim these buildings for local development. B. New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development 1. HPD must never consolidate any of their buildings without consultation with CB #11. There should be adequate prior notice given to tenants and block associations. Consolidated buildings must have gas, electricity and water turned off, windows sealed, doors and other openings sealed with cinder blocks. The City should monitor consolidated buildings on a regular basis to prevent squatting and other illegal activities from occurring. 2. All HPD occupied and unoccupied buildings should be transferred to private ownership by the year 2004. Owners could include occupants (as in cooperatives and condominiums), not- for-profits, or private ownership. C. Relocation Protection 1. If a tenant prefers, all relocation must be in the East Harlem community and to equal or better housing. Relocated residents are to be given priority in returning to the new rehabilitated housing development. D. New York City Housing Authority 1. Current NYC Charter does not mandate a review of NYCHA services by Community Districts because of NYCHA's federal agency status, but CB #11 should have an advisory relationship because in East Harlem 40% of the population is housed by NYCHA. E. Urban Renewal Areas 1. The City in consultation with CB #11 should review all currently designated urban renewal areas in East Harlem to determine whether their status has encouraged or deterred development. If a negative assessment is determined from this review, the City should revise or re-designate the sites or land currently located in Urban Renewal Areas. F. Lighting 1. The City must enforce night lights requirements at entrances to all buildings. IV. Economic Development: 1. The largest employer in East Harlem is the health care industry.

  • October 5, 2016 Veronique Hakim President, New York City Transit
    UNITED STATES HOUSE THE NEW YORK THE NEW YORK THE COUNCIL OF THE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATE SENATE STATE ASSEMBLY CITY OF NEW YORK October 5, 2016 Veronique Hakim President, New York City Transit Metropolitan Transportation Authority 2 Broadway New York, NY 1004 Dear President Hakim, Please restore the M15 Select Bus Service at 72nd Street. The M15 Limited stopped at 72nd Street until it was phased out in favor of M15 Select Bus Service. With high bus-dependent populations, infrequent local service, crosstown bus service, hospitals, community support and opening of the Second Avenue Subway with a station at 72nd Street, now is the perfect opportunity to increase ridership by restoring M15 Select Bus Service at 72nd Street. 72nd Street Only Location Omitted from Select Bus Service When Select Bus Service was introduced to First and Second Avenues on the M15 route, Select Bus Stations replaced Limited Service stops in every location above Houston Street other than East 72nd Street. Since October 2010, residents living in the East 72nd Street area, for example at 73rd off York Avenue, now must choose between walking three avenues and six blocks, more than half a mile, to a Select Bus Service bus station at 67th or 79th Streets and Second Avenue, versus half that distance to 72nd Street. Walking more than half a mile in both directions is simply too far for many residents. High Concentration of Seniors and Children Need Select Bus Service at 72nd Street The neighborhood that would be served by a Select Bus Service station at 72nd Street includes Census Tracts in Manhattan number 124, 126, 132, and 134 spanning from 69th to 79th between 3rd Avenue and the East River with a population of 44,756, one of the highest near any Select Bus station: 8,679 or 32.7% of households include children (under 18) or seniors (65 and over) who may rely on bus service due to age: o 3,326 or 12.5% of households have children under 18 years-old.

  • Improving Bus Service in New York a Thesis Presented to The
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Improving Bus Service in New York 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 Charles Romanow May 2018 Abstract New York City’s transportation system is in a state of disarray. City street are clogged with taxi’s and for-hire vehicles, subway platforms are packed with straphangers waiting for delayed trains and buses barely travel faster than pedestrians. The bureaucracy of City and State government in the region causes piecemeal improvements which do not keep up with the state of disrepair. Bus service is particularly poor, moving at rates incomparable with the rest of the country. New York has recently made successful efforts at improving bus speeds, but only so much can be done amidst a city of gridlock. Bus systems around the world faced similar challenges and successfully implemented improvements. A toolbox of near-immediate and long- term options are at New York’s disposal dealing directly with bus service as well indirect causes of poor bus service. The failing subway system has prompted public discussion concerning bus service. A significant cause of poor service in New York is congestion. A number of measures are capable of improving congestion and consequently, bus service. Due to the city’s limited capacity at implementing short-term solutions, the most highly problematic routes should receive priority. Routes with slow speeds, high rates of bunching and high ridership are concentrated in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn which also cater to the most subway riders.
