NYCDOT held a public workshop to determine community needs and solicit specific input regarding pedestrian safety improvements in the Lincoln Center Bow Tie area. The information gathered at this meeting was directly used to develop pedestrian safety improvements which were presented to the local community board in December 2014. DOT will continue to refine this proposal and return in early 2015 with a final set of recommendations.
The purpose of this project is to address senior pedestrian safety issues in the Yorkville study area as part of the Department's Safe Streets for Seniors (SSS) Program.
As required by Local Law 21 of 2012, NYC DOT will install APS units at each corner of 25 additional intersections each year. This report is an update of where additional APSs were installed for 2013.
Pursuant to Ad Code 19-101.3, a report on the 63rd Road project which sought to slow speeding drivers through the Rego Park Senior Pedestrian Focus Area, where there had been six pedestrian fataliaties since 2001.
Pursuant to Ad. Code 19-101.3, a report on redesign at Bartown Avenue & Baychester Avenue in the Bronx that accommodated the traffic and improved mobility and safety for all users.
Pursuant to Ad. Code 19-101.3, a report on a project converting two moving lanes to one lane, where feasible, with wide parking lanes and changes in signal timing, after DOT recieved a request to implement safety measures on Classon Ave.
This report introduces a robust new metric for assessing the local economic impacts of street improvements. DOT examined changes in sales tax receipts in areas around improvements, finding convincing evidence that the improved accessibility and more welcoming street environment created by these projects led to increased retail sales.
