Appendix D.3 Scoping Report PUBLIC COMMENTS PC00001 LGA Comments <[email protected]> LaGuardia Airport Access Improvement Project Denise Crockett <[email protected]> Thu, May 9, 2019 at 10:44 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear Mr Andrew Brooks: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the LaGuardia Airport Access Improvement Project. As a long term resident of Jamaica, NY, residing along the Grand Central Parkway, I do believe that there is a great need for these proposed improvements. Connecting the LaGuardia Airport to the LIRR and NYCT No. 7 Line is a great idea, but it does not go far enough! Both of these proposed connections are Manhattan centric, that is supporting more ridership between the Airport and the City. This does absolutely nothing to relieve or ease local traffic congestion we experience in Queens on the Long Island Expressway and the Grand Central Parkway with inbound and outbound Long Island traffic. It also does not reduce heavy traffic congestion on the Van Wyck Expressway between JKF and LaGuardia. It would be helpful if the proposed plan included plans to extend the Airtrain light rail service Train which ends at the Jamaica LIRR Station to LaGuardia Airport with a stop at the NYCT No 7 Line. Having lived here for over 40 years and having travelled extensively on business out of both airports, I believe that extending the Airtrain from the Jamaica Station to LaGuardia Airport would be a tremendous improvement and provide many more benefits for the greater NYC area. People traveling from Long Island can take the train to the plane! Sincerely, Denise Crockett 164-20 Grand Central Parkway Jamaica, NY 11432 Sent from my iPad PC00002 LGA Comments <[email protected]> LaGuardia Airport Airport Access Improvement Project Derek Sokolowski <[email protected]> Mon, May 20, 2019 at 3:39 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To Whom It May Concern: My name is Derek Sokolowski and I am writing this email to send some comments to the Port Authority regarding the people mover plan between LaGuardia Airport and Willet Points-Citified. I would like to say that this idea of having the station originate at the Mets-Willets Point stop on the Long Island Railroad is a terrible idea for the following reasons: 1. The stop is not on the main line of the LIRR. Surely the origin of the people mover should be located at a major artery of the LIRR as well as the MTA Subway. I propose the Woodside Station. It has the right of way as it can travel on the LIRR tracks, onto the BQE and follow the road to Laguardia Airport with minimum environmental impact 2. Anyone travelling from Long Island or any points east of the Main-Line Woodside station would have an issue having to switch between trains either at Woodside or travel into Penn Station/Grand Central. Therefore., starting the people mover from Woodside would save time for everyone without needing to switch between trains (especially for those with Accessibility issues). 3. The people mover station would be crowded on Game Days at the Citifield Stadium and during the US Open. 4. There is an issue with the construction of the people mover to go around the 7 train tracks. 5. Not enough bus to people mover connections will be present. Local busses should have it easier to transfer into the station. Thank you for your time to read through the comments.

It's a wasteful and inefficient use of public funds. Extending the NW line from Astoria to LGA is a far better idea that will result in a one seat ride for many visitors and actually integrate into the subway system properly instead of the awful airtrain setup. (Sent via LGA Access Improvement Project EIS) PC00004 LGA Comments <[email protected]> Hello, regarding the LaGuardia proposal connection g mc 3 <[email protected]> Thu, May 23, 2019 at 2:19 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Hello, My name is George McCook and I've been a daily rider of the 7 train for over 15 years. When I heard that the powers that be are considering utilizing the 7 subway line to connect to LaGuardia, a small panic rang out in my head. First of all, the 7 train line is one of the most crowded lines in the system. During rush hour, there is hardly any room. Second, the train also has a tendency to break down and that could affect people attempting to catch a flight. Thirdly, the connection at 74th/Roosevelt already has a bus that goes to LaGuardia Airport. Lastly, with all the development in LIC, there will be even more people riding the 7 train in the near future, further straining that line's ability to fit everyone. My proposal: Why not use the N/W line to Astoria and extend towards LaGuardia? There is so much more room on the N/W going towards Astoria since they have the new model trains and there are simply less total train riders on that line than the 7 train. Plus there is room on 20th Ave to connect Astoria to LaGuardia. I feel very strongly about this issue and if you'd like to chat any more, please let me know. Thank you very much, George McCook PC00005 LGA Comments <[email protected]> Form Submission - Website Scoping Formal Comment Squarespace <[email protected]> Thu, May 23, 2019 at 5:36 PM Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Name: David Gerson Email: [email protected] Organization: Address 1: 166-08 73 Ave Address 2: City: Fresh Meadows State: NY Zip: 11366 Comment Topic: Opposed to current plan Formal Comment: I oppose the current plan for the following reasons: -the Willets Point terminal would utilize either the 7 train or the LIRR Manhasset line limiting access to a small subset of Long Island passengers -the 7 line is an outdoor, elevated train with chronic service problems and difficulty dealing with adverse weather conditions. -the LIRR Manhasset line bypasses the Jamaica terminal limiting access to a small portion of Long Island residents. -this plan does not provide any means of passenger or employees from moving between LGA and JFK airports. I believe a better option would be to direct the LGA AirTrain to the existing terminal at Jamaica. This provides many benefits, inckudibg: -utilizing the E and J subways that are more reliable and less subject to weather disturbances. -accessing the existing Jamaica terminal allows access to the vast majority of Long Island residents -provides a tradeoff between the additional cost of a longer route with the savings of utilizing existing infrastructure. -provides a means of passengers and employees to travel between LGA and JFK airports alliwing passengers additional options when booking flights. I believe the net benefits from this proposal more than offsets the additional cosr of a longer route from LGA.

  • C.1.V. Provisions for Pedestrians and Bicyclists
    Final Environmental Impact Statement Section II.C C.1.v. Provisions for Pedestrians and Bicyclists Provisions for pedestrians and bicyclists within the project area are limited to at-grade streets and sidewalks within the industrial areas of Brooklyn and Queens on both sides of Newtown Creek and the Brooklyn residential neighborhoods of Greenpoint and East Williamsburg. Based on review of the New York City Bicycle Map, 56th Road and Review Avenue are the only designated routes in the vicinity of the bridge and are recommended as areas where sufficient street width for bicyclists is available and where vehicular traffic is light. Pedestrian and bicycle access across the bridge is not provided, and therefore persons crossing Newtown Creek must use the Greenpoint Avenue Bridge located approximately 1.2 km (0.75 mi) northwest of the Kosciuszko Bridge or the Grand Avenue Bridge located approximately 2.1 km (1.3 mi) southeast of the Kosciuszko Bridge. In Brooklyn, Meeker Avenue, Thomas Street, Cherry Street and Anthony Street provide at- grade pedestrian access via sidewalks parallel to the bridge. Access beneath the bridge is provided at Kingsland Avenue, Morgan Avenue, Vandervoort Avenue, Varick Avenue, Stewart Avenue, Gardner Avenue and Scott Avenue. Sidewalk pedestrian ramps are only found at the Meeker Avenue/Varick Avenue intersection and the Meeker Avenue/Stewart Avenue intersection. However, due to poor sidewalk conditions and/or lack of sidewalks at certain locations, handicapped accessibility is very limited parallel to and underneath the bridge. In Queens, 43rd Street and Laurel Hill Boulevard provide at-grade pedestrian access via sidewalks parallel to the bridge between the LIE and 56th Road.

Nowa sieć drogowa lotniska otwiera się sześć miesięcy przed terminem, tuż przed sezonem letnich podróży i powrotem pasażerów na niebo 26 nowych mostów/wiaduktów zmniejszy zapotrzebowanie na sygnalizację świetlną, która powoduje korki, z 19 do 3, co poprawi przepływ ruchu wokół lotniska LaGuardia Gubernator ogłasza, że działanie Centrum Kariery LaGuardia organizacji Council for Airport Opportunity zostanie przedłużone o cztery lata, do 2025 r., aby w dalszym ciągu pomagać mieszkańcom dzielnicy Queens w znalezieniu pracy na nowym lotnisku LaGuardia W dniu dzisiejszym gubernator Andrew M. Cuomo ogłosił otwarcie nowej zewnętrznej sieci drogowej Terminalu C na lotnisku LaGuardia, której budowę zakończono sześć miesięcy przed terminem i na tyle wcześnie, aby poprawić przepływ ruchu na lotnisku, zanim podróżni powrócą na niebo tego lata. Otwarcie sieci drogowej jest ostatnim kluczowym etapem trwającej przebudowy lotniska LaGuardia, o wartości 8 mld USD, w ośrodek na miarę XXI wieku, na jaki zasługuje Nowy Jork. „Całkowicie przebudowana sieć drogowa – z nowoczesnymi systemami zarządzania ruchem drogowym i mniejszą ilością skrzyżowań wyposażonych w sygnalizację – ułatwi podróżnym dojazd samochodem do terminali lub miejsc parkingowych. Jest to znaczący krok do przodu w realizacji projektu stworzenia światowej klasy doświadczeń dla podróżnych na nowym lotnisku LaGuardia”, powiedział gubernator Cuomo. „Wraz z planami budowy AirTrain LaGuardia, pierwszego dla lotniska, niezawodnego i szybkiego połączenia kolejowego z Manhattanem, nowa sieć drogowa daje lotnisku LaGuardia możliwość stania się jednym z najbardziej dostępnych lotnisk w kraju”.
