  • Pinebush Transportation Study Update
    Pinebush Transportation Study Update September 2004 SUMMARY The Albany County Department of Public Works submitted a proposal under CDTC's 2000-01 Community and Transportation Linkage Planning Program requesting that CDTC staff update the 1985 Pinebush Area Transportation Study to "address all of the changes which have occurred since the completion of the Pinebush Area Transportation Study in 1990." The county's proposal indicated that the study would be used to develop a consensus and gain support of all the municipalities and interested parties in the area. The county's proposal was approved and $20,000 was programmed for the study. To accomplish the goals of the linkage study, CDTC staff looked at the transportation system in the Pinebush Study area and identified physical changes that took place over the fifteen-year period, such as intersection configuration, bicycle/pedestrian accommodation, physical condition, etc. To evaluate how the current transportation system is performing, CDTC staff first compared current traffic counts with the 1985 counts and determined where growth, if any occurred. Next, CDTC staff identified the locations where traffic growth exceeded the background growth rate for Albany County and identified any attendant development that occurred that could explain the increase in traffic growth. CDTC staff looked at capacity and level-of-service (LOS) issues at all the locations where current counts were taken. Threshold analysis was conducted at all the intersections and links where current counts were available. Intersection level of service analysis using HCM was conducted at those intersections where current traffic counts and signal timing plans are available. Speed-delay runs were conducted along three major corridors in the study area--New Karner Road, Washington Avenue Extension and Western Avenue.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE KBRA Places Ratings of Eight Certificates across JPMCC 2014-DSTY and JPMCC 2012- WLDN on Watch Downgrade NEW YORK (April 21, 2020) – Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) placed the ratings on all of the Classes of Certificates of JPMCC 2014-DSTY, and the Class C certificates of JPMCC 2012-WLDN, on Watch Downgrade due to their recent special servicing transfers, as well as their expected and actual collateral performance. Both of these loans transferred to the respective special servicers due to imminent monetary default. The transfers were initiated when The Pyramid Companies, the borrower sponsor, a privately held real estate development company headquartered in Syracuse, requested debt service deferment and other relief due to impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. KBRA will resolve the Watch Placements pending a review of both transactions including an analysis of any relief or modifications granted by the special servicer and how it may impact the cashflows to the trust. Over the next 90 days we will assess the transactions, which would likely result in rating downgrades, affirmations, and/or an update of the Watch Downgrade Placements. In addition, KBRA is monitoring three other conduit CMBS transactions that include Pyramid related loans on retail malls that have transferred to the special servicer for similar reasons. These include: COMM 2012- CCRE1, (Crossgates Mall, 15.2% of the deal balance), UBS 2012-C1 (Poughkeepsie Galleria, 7.5%), and JPMDB 2016-C2 (Palisades Center, 3.4%). The following covers each of the transactions in more detail. JPMCC 2014-DSTY KBRA places the ratings on the Class A, B, C, D, E, X-A, and X-B certificates of JPMCC 2014-DSTY on Watch Downgrade.

The Planning Board reviewed the site plan at your December 12, 2018 meeting and July 10, 2019 meeting. At your August 14, 2019 meeting the Board issued a State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) Positive Declaration. The Planning Board determined that the proposed Rapp Road residential development, if considered with certain additional land within the Town’s newly enacted Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District owned by the project sponsor or affiliated entities, may have a potentially significant cumulative adverse environmental impact. Therefore, a Positive Declaration of Environmental Significance was issued and an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process commenced. On August 28, 2020 the Planning Board, after a year-long environmental review process, issued their Findings Statement for the EIS. The full record of the EIS and Findings Statement can be reviewed here: https://www.townofguilderland.org/planning- board/pages/environmental-impact-statement-rapp-road-residentialwestern-avenue-mixed-use Site Plan Review The applicant is proposing to construct a total of 222 apartment and townhome units on 19.68 +/- acres located in the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District.
