DESCRIPTION (**) 1 TOS-1 Encourage employers to offer flexible schedules so traffic is not always congested at the same times. 2 TOS-2 Improve signage along Cross Bronx Expressway. 3 TOS-3 Establish breakdown lane and shoulders on major roadways. 4 TOS-4 Examine local and mainline bridges to facilitate traffic flow. 5 TOS-5 Eliminate TDM measures to divert traffic to alternate routes-this hurts local communities. 6 TOS-6 Create an exit on Cross Bronx Expressway near the Sheridan Expressway (near Boston Road) in the area of the former industrial park (174 – 176th Streets) which will become a 136,00 square ft. retail center. 7 TOS-7 Improve road conditions in the Bronx. 8 TOS-8 The intersection of Devoe Avenue and 177th Street should be examined so that its congestion problem can be improved. 9 TOS-9 Improve operational/geometric conditions along parallel major arterials in Major Deegan Expressway corridor (e.g., University Avenue and Grand Concourse). 10 TOS-10 Construct service roads/c-d roads on Major Deegan Expressway. Options are continuous, partial and directional (nb/sb) service/c-d roads. 11 TOS-11 Improve mainline horizontal geometry on Major Deegan Expressway, south of 145th Street. 12 TOS-12 Examine option to divert Cross Bronx Expressway-Henry Hudson Parkway traffic to Washington Bridge as alternative route to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge. Option to increase outer lane usage and to reduce congestion on inner lanes on Trans- Manhattan Expressway. Look at traffic signal operation at 181st Street and Amsterdam Avenue in order to reduce back-ups on Washington Bridge that block ramp that enters the Trans-Manhattan Expressway. (**) - At this stage of the screening process, the descriptions of the potential options are based on the recorded minutes of the various workshop meetings. Further refinement is expected under the next steps.

Options are continuous, partial and directional (eb/wb) service/c-d roads. 18 TOS-18 Construct westbound auxiliary lane on Cross Bronx Expressway from Sheridan Expressway to Third Avenue (e.g., truck climbing lane). 19 TOS-19 Identify problems causing congestion on Cross Bronx Expressway in eastbound direction from Jerome Avenue to Webster Avenue. 20 TOS-20 Examine options to reopen and upgrade Trans-Manhattan tunnels at 178th and 179th Streets to access Henry Hudson Parkway, local streets on the west side of Manhattan or possibly the George Washington Bridge. Tunnels would be for non-commercial traffic only. West end terminus would need much further investigation. With Tunnel option, examine options to divert to the tunnel non-commercial, Cross Bronx Expressway traffic destined to/from the Henry Hudson Parkway as a way to reduce volume on the Alexander Hamilton Bridge, and re-examine lane operations on the Alexander Hamilton Bridge. 21 TOS-21 Examine options to connect Harlem River Drive and Yankee Stadium in order to relieve congestion at Highbridge Interchange and on Major Deegan Expressway during game days. Options include existing river crossings at Macombs Dam and 145th Street Bridges or construction of new river crossing. Review Yankee Magic Study. Option could be tied into TS-13.

  • Flexibility in Highway Design
    Flexibility in Highway Design U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Page i This page intentionally left blank. Page ii A Message from the Administrator Dear Colleague: One of the greatest challenges the highway community faces is providing safe, efficient transportation service that conserves, and even enhances the environmental, scenic, historic, and community resources that are so vital to our way of life. This guide will help you meet that challenge. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has been pleased to work with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and other interested groups, including the Bicycle Federation of America, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Scenic America, to develop this publication. It identifies and explains the opportunities, flexibilities, and constraints facing designers and design teams responsible for the development of transportation facilities. This guide does not attempt to create new standards. Rather, the guide builds on the flexibility in current laws and regulations to explore opportunities to use flexible design as a tool to help sustain important community interests without compromising safety. To do so, this guide stresses the need to identify and discuss those flexibilities and to continue breaking down barriers that sometimes make it difficult for highway designers to be aware of local concerns of interested organizations and citizens. The partnership formed to develop this guidance grew out of the design-related provisions of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995. Congress provided dramatic new flexibilities in funding, stressed the importance of preserving historic and scenic values, and provided for enhancing communities through transportation improvements.

  • The Structuring of Rail Concessions
    RAIL FREIGHT IN NEW YORK CITY: A Global View Transportation Research Forum New York City 6 May 2002 Henry Posner III, Chairman Railroad Development Corporation I am truly honored to be here today as I know so many of you in the audience. I would like to give you my personal opinions about New York, which are also the official positions of Railroad Development Corporation (RDC). The agenda today is therefore to provide some background on RDC; the U.S. short line industry; the overseas rail privatization industry; case studies concerning overseas railways and New York City; and to draw some conclusions. Let me first apologize for the extremely pretentious title of this presentation. I really tried to think up something that would be less pretentious. The idea is not to pompously shove any out-of-town opinions down anyone’s throat; but rather to raise people’s consciousness as to how rail freight in New York stacks up against the world on the other side of the Hudson River and also the world on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Background on RDC RDC is a small company and one could say that we are probably among the least successful of the short line companies, at least in the USA. We are a privately held company and, while we have not been particularly successful in the USA, we have found a niche for ourselves in what we describe as Emerging Corridors in Emerging Markets – rail privatizations with related businesses like ports, etc. in smaller countries, and in particular developing countries.

Introduction The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (“TBTA” or the “Authority”) has proposed to increase crossing charges at the nine facilities it operates within the City of New York, effective March 1, 2013 (the “Proposed Action”). The nine TBTA facilities that would be affected by the Proposed Action are the: Bronx Whitestone Bridge (“BWB”), Brooklyn Battery Tunnel (“BBT”)1, Queens Midtown Tunnel (“QMT”), Throgs Neck Bridge (“TNB”), Robert F. Kennedy (“RFK”) Bridge, Verrazano Narrows Bridge (“VNB”), Henry Hudson Bridge (“HHB”), Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge (“CBB”) and Marine Parkway Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge (“MPB”). For purposes of its toll structure, TBTA categorizes the BWB, BBT, QMT, TNB, the RFK Bridge and the VNB as “Major Facilities.” Because the VNB toll is collected only in one direction (Staten Island-bound) it is double the toll for the Major Facilities. The CBB and the MPB are “Minor Facilities.” The HHB has its own toll rate.

The East of Hudson Rail Freight Operations Task Force is committed to the restoration of price- and service-competitive freight rail service in the areas of the New York metropolitan region east of the Hudson River. The Task Force seeks to accomplish this objective through bringing together elected officials, carriers and public agencies at regularly scheduled meetings where any issue that hinders or can assist in the restoration of competitive rail service is discussed openly.
