This would increase projected enrollment to 1,783, resulting in a collective utilization rate of 85.2 percent, with 310 available day care slots (refer to Table E- 8) in the future without the Proposed Action. Table E-8: No-Action Public Day Care Enrollment and Capacity Changes Capacity Projected Enrollment Available Slots Utilization (%) 2,093 1,783 310 85.2 Notes: 1 No child care center capacity changes are anticipated in the No-Action Scenario. 2 Projected Enrollment is calculated by adding the projected new public child care-eligible children (Table E-7) to the existing publicly- funded group day care enrollment in the study area (Table E-6). The Future With the Proposed Action (With-Action Condition) As described in Attachment A, “Project Description,” in the RWCDS With-Action condition, the Proposed Action would facilitate a net increment of 284 DUs (151 of which would be affordable units). As shown in Table E-9, based on CEQR student generation rates, the Proposed Action is expected to result in an additional 27 children eligible for publicly-funded day care by 2023.

    MTA Capital Program 2010-2014 Amendment as submitted to the MTA CAPITAL PROGRAM REVIEW BOARD January 2012 Introduction On September 29, 2009, the MTA Board approved a proposed $28.080 billion 2010-2014 Capital Program and submitted that plan to the Capital Program Review Board (CPRB) in October 2009, requesting their approval of the $25.572 billion CPRB portion of that plan (excludes Bridges and Tunnels, which self-funds its program). On December 31, 2009, the CPRB vetoed that plan without prejudice to permit additional time to resolve issues related to fully funding the program. Subsequently, the MTA prepared a revised program totaling $23.812 billion, reflecting a nearly $2 billion reduction effort to sharpen the focus of the program to ensure the delivery of specific customer benefits for the lowest cost. The MTA Board approved the revised plan on April 28, 2010 and the CPRB approved the five-year program of projects on June 1, 2010. The approved program fully funded only the first two years (2010 and 2011) of the plan, with a commitment to come back to CPRB with a funding proposal for the last three years. Proposed Amendment This plan amendment, approved by the MTA Board in December 2011, funds all of the projects in the last three years of the program through a combination of self-help (efficiency improvements and real estate initiatives), participation by our funding partners and innovative and pragmatic financing arrangements. The revised CPRB $22.195 billion plan also spreads projects out evenly over the final three years of the program as listed on the attached blue pages.

  • Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 3: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION The proposed project would significantly change land use on a large, prominently located—but underutilized—site, at the crossroads of Brooklyn’s two most important avenues, adjacent to a major public transportation hub, and at the intersection of six distinct neighborhoods. This development would fill the void resulting from the below-grade Vanderbilt Yard (the “rail yard”), eliminate blight, and integrate neighborhoods historically divided by this rail yard. The project would introduce, for the first time in 50 years, an arena for a major sports team in the heart of Brooklyn. It would surround that arena with a broad mix of retail, hotel, office, residential, community facility, and open space uses (see Chapter 1, “Project Description,” for details). Because this is a major land use plan situated in a key location in Brooklyn, the potential for impact on land use on the project site and in the surrounding area and neighborhoods is an important consideration in this EIS. Several issues of public policy also arise in connection with the proposed project. Implementation of the development would be subject to the land use and design controls of the General Project Plan (GPP) for the Atlantic Yards Land Use Improvement and Civic Project, administered by the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC). This GPP would apply in lieu of local City zoning—the City has been consulted and involved during the site plan review process—so that rezoning would not be required. Nonetheless, the issue of compatibility with local zoning must be considered as part of this environmental analysis.

Summary of Methodology 8 III. Why a Report Card on the State of the Subways? 11 IV. Profiles of 20 Subway Lines 12 Appendix I: Detailed Methodology 33 Appendix II: Credits 41 I. Findings What do subway riders want? They want short waits, trains that arrive regularly, a chance for a seat, a clean car and understandable announcements that tell them what they need to know. That’s what MTA New York City Transit’s own polling of rider satisfaction measures.1 This “State of the Subways” Report Card tells riders how their lines do on these key aspects of service. We look at six measures of subway performance for the city’s 20 major subway lines, using recent data compiled by MTA New York City Transit.2 Some of the information has not been released publicly before on a line-by-line basis. Most of the measures are for all or the last half of 2011. Our Report Card has three parts: First, is a comparison of service on 20 lines, as detailed in the attached tables. Second, we give an overall “MetroCard Rating”3 to 19 of the 20 major lines.4 Third, the report contains one-page profiles on each of the 20 lines.
