Chapter 10: Displacement and Relocation 10.1 Introduction MTA New York City Transit Fulton Street Transit Center FEIS and Section 4(f) Evaluation CHAPTER 10: DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION 10.1 INTRODUCTION As described in Chapter 3: Alternatives, the Fulton Street Transit Center (FSTC) has been designed to avoid and minimize the need for temporary disruptions to the use of private property and permanent acquisitions of private property. However, construction of the FSTC would require the acquisition of several properties consisting of full fee acquisitions, partial fee acquisitions and temporary and permanent displacements and easements. In the event that permanent displacement is necessary, compensation and/or relocation assistance would be provided to residents and businesses by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) New York City Transit (NYCT), in accordance with applicable legal procedures. These issues are discussed in later sections of this chapter. 10.1.1 CONTEXT AND KEY ISSUES The events of September 11 destroyed critical portions of the Lower Manhattan transportation system, compounding existing deficiencies and jeopardizing the area’s sustainability as a Central Business District (CBD), emerging residential area and key tourist destination. Rebuilding the Lower Manhattan transportation network — restoring service, eliminating deficiencies and anticipating future needs — is a critical basis for its successful revitalization. The concentration of subway lines at the centrally located Fulton Street – Broadway Nassau Station Complex (Existing Complex) makes it integral to this revitalization process. In order for the proposed FSTC to address existing and anticipated operational deficiencies through the construction of new facilities, a series of property acquisitions and building occupant relocations will be required. A full detailed list of approximately 100 current occupants of these properties is included in Appendix G. These would consist of full fee acquisitions, partial fee acquisitions, permanent and temporary occupant relocations and temporary and permanent easement requirements. This chapter presents the following information specific to each project alternative: • The reasons for and extent of displacements and property acquisitions that would be required for the FSTC; • The potential impacts of such acquisitions on businesses and residents (owners and tenants) of those buildings directly affected (with reference to Chapter 7: Social and Economic Conditions); • The protection afforded under Federal and State law to affected property owners and tenants; and, • A discussion of compensation and relocation assistance. 10.1.2 CONCLUSIONS NO ACTION ALTERNATIVE This alternative assumes that the Existing Complex would remain as is, except for routine maintenance measures and repair activities that would not be subject to environmental review. As a result, no easements or properties would be acquired and no occupants or owners would be displaced. ALTERNATIVE 9 AND ALTERNATIVE 10 - THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE Permanent and Temporary Acquisitions Under Alternative 9, five (5) buildings would be permanently acquired on Broadway (189, 194-196, 198, 200-202 and 204-210 Broadway) and the occupants displaced and compensated to permit the construction of the Entry Facility and the Dey Street Access Building. Depending on the findings of geotechnical and structural investigations that would be carried out during Final Design of the FSTC, Alternative 9 may require stabilization of the National Register-listed Corbin Building. This will be determined based on October 2004 10.0 Displacement and Relocation 10-1 MTA New York City Transit Fulton Street Transit Center FEIS and Section 4(f) Evaluation whether or not it is determined that there is a risk of excessive movement of the Corbin Building during the construction of the Entry Facility (see Chapter 4: Construction Methods and Activities, Section 4.3 for details). Based on information available to date, NYCT would proceed with stabilization (underpinning or compensation grouting) of the Corbin Building in Alternative 9, to avoid risks related to public safety and damage to the historic resource associated with unknown construction conditions. This would be carried out from within the basement of the Corbin Building and may require the temporary displacement of all or some of the basement tenants in the Corbin Building. Under the Preferred Alternative, the Corbin Building (192 Broadway), in addition to the five (5) properties noted above, would be acquired and all occupants would be displaced and relocated or compensated as per State and Federal regulations. Easements Under both Build alternatives, a series of easements would be required, or existing easements may need to be modified, in order to facilitate construction of various projects elements. These easement requirements are the same for both Build alternatives with certain exceptions. One exception is that under Alternative 9, an existing easement at 192 Broadway may be maintained. Another exception is that an easement under the Preferred Alternative may be required at 15 John Street for underpinning the Corbin Building; this may not be required under Alternative 9. See Figure 10-1 for summary of properties requiring easement values, and property acquisitions. Compensation and Relocation Assistance Under the No Action Alternative, no compensation or relocation assistance would be necessary. For both Build alternatives, all property acquisition would be undertaken within the framework of the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act and would also conform to the New York State Eminent Domain Procedure Law (see Section 10.5). Most relocating businesses are likely to be successful in finding suitable alternative space near their current locations because the inventory of vacant office, retail, warehouse, and other commercial space in Lower Manhattan is anticipated to be large enough to accommodate the needs of most displaced businesses. Table 10-1 provides a summary of the potential impacts associated with each alternative. A full detailed list of approximately 100 current occupants of these properties is included in Appendix G. 10.2 NO ACTION ALTERNATIVE Under this Alternative, the FSTC would not be built, no displacements would occur and no properties would be acquired. This alternative assumes that the Existing Complex would remain as is, in its existing configuration and operational state, except for routine maintenance measures and repair activities that would not be subject to environmental review. Under this Alternative, no building occupants would be permanently or temporarily displaced. 10.3 ALTERNATIVE 9 10.3.1 PERMANENT PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS Construction of the street-level and subsurface elements of the FSTC would require the acquisition and deconstruction of several properties. A total of five (5) properties would need to be acquired for this alternative. The NYCT would acquire four (4) properties on the east side of Broadway between Fulton and John Streets under this alternative (see Figure 10-1): October 2004 10.0 Displacement and Relocation 10-2 T S ETTE BAXTER ST Y A WOR W MUL ARREN ST TH ST LAF B READE ST ERR MURRA Y ST PEARL ST GREENWICH ST Y CHAMBERS ST ST ST WEST PARK PL BARCLA PARK ROW Y ST CENTRE ST Legend BARCLA Permanent Property Y ST Acquisition Properties That Require New Easements or VESEY Easement Modifications BROOKL ST PARK ROW Properties Affected by Vault Modifications SPRUCE ST MADISON ST Y Properties Affected by FUL N B T Vault and/or Easement ON ST RID Modifications CHURCH ST BEEKMAN ST 20 222 GE Note: A temporary easement may extend out to WTC site during construction of RW-E Connector.

  • Distance, Displacement, and Position
    Distance, Displacement, and Position Introduction: What is the difference between distance, displacement, and position? Here's an example: A honey bee makes several trips from the hive to a flower garden. The velocity graph is shown below. What is the total distance traveled by the bee? What is the displacement of the bee? What is the position of the bee? total distance = displacement = position = 1 Warm-up A particle moves along the x-axis so that the acceleration at any time t is given by: At time , the velocity of the particle is and at time , the position is . (a) Write an expression for the velocity of the particle at any time . (b) For what values of is the particle at rest? (c) Write an expression for the position of the particle at any time . (d) Find the total distance traveled by the particle from to . 2 Warm-up Answers (a) (b) (c) (d) Total Distance = 3 Now, using the equation from the warm-up find the following (WITHOUT A CALCULATOR): (a) the total distance from 0 to 4 (b) the displacement from 0 to 4 4 To find the displacement (position shift) from the velocity function, we just integrate the function. The negative areas below the x-axis subtract from the total displacement. Displacement = To find the distance traveled we have to use absolute value. Distance traveled = To find the distance traveled by hand you must: Find the roots of the velocity equation and integrate in pieces, just like when we found the area between a curve and x-axis.

This can be explained by the geometric shape of the rotors, which is highly complicated. Herein, an analytical method for the instantaneous torque, rotation speed, flowrate, and volumetric displacement of a pump/motor is proposed. The method is based on two physical concepts: energy conservation and torque equilibrium. The instantaneous torque of a pump/motor shaft is determined for the posture of rotors from the torque equilibrium. If the torque equilibrium is combined with the energy conservation between the hydraulic energy of the pump/motor and the mechanical input/output energy, the formula for determining the instantaneous volumetric displacement and flowrate is derived. The numerical values of the instantaneous volumetric displacement, torque, rotation speed, and flowrate are calculated via the MATLAB software programs, and they are illustrated for the case in which inner and outer rotors rotate with respect to fixed axes. The degrees of torque fluctuation, speed fluctuation, and flowrate fluctuation can be observed from their instantaneous values.

Ouyang transmissibility do not appear naturally from the definitions, as happens in the sdof case. In this paper, the authors present their studies on the conditions under which it is possible to establish a relation between force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility for mdof systems. As far as the authors are aware, such a relation is not currently found in the literature, which is justified by being based on recent developments in the transmissibility concept for mdof systems. Indeed, it does not appear naturally, but the authors observed that the needed link is present when the displacement transmissibility is obtained between the same coordinates where the applied and reaction forces are considered in the force transmissibility case; this implies that the boundary conditions are not exactly the same and instead follow some rules.

  • Rotation: Kinematics
    Rotation: Kinematics Rotation refers to the turning of an object about a fixed axis and is very commonly encountered in day to day life. The motion of a fan, the turning of a door knob and the opening of a bottle cap are a few examples of rotation. Rotation is also commonly observed as a component of more complex motions that result as a combination of both rotation and translation. The motion of a wheel of a moving bicycle, the motion of a blade of a moving helicopter and the motion of a curveball are a few examples of combined rotation and translation. This module focuses on the kinematics of pure rotation. This module begins by defining the angular variables and then proceeds to describe the relation between these variables and the variables of linear motion. Angular Variables Angular Position Consider an object rotating about a fixed axis. Let us define a coordinate system such that the axis of rotation passes through the origin and is perpendicular to the x- and y- axes. Fig. 1 shows a view of the x-y plane. If a reference line is drawn through the origin and a fixed point in the object, the angle between this line and a fixed direction is used to define the angular position of the object. In Fig. 1, the angular position is measured from the positive x-direction. Fig. 1: Rotating object - Angular position. Also, from geometry, the angular position can be written as the ratio of the length of the path traveled by any point on the reference line measured from the fixed direction to the radius of the path, ...Eq.
