The NACTO Urban Street Design Guide details the design principles and strategies cities are adopting to address 21st Century demands on their streets. The guide focuses on on-the-ground, built projects and great streets, and reflects international best practices and research in urban design, planning and engineering.
Older adults are more likely to suffer serious injuries or fatalities from traffic crashes than other pedestrians. This led to the development of the Department of Transportation's Safe Streets for Seniors Program to address senior pedestrian safety issues at 25 Senior Pedestrian Focus Areas in the five boroughs of New York City. In this report, the West Midtown Manhattan Focus Area has been studied and improvements have been recommended.
The purpose of this study is to assess existing and future traffic conditions, identify issues, and develop effective solutions to these issues in the study area. The study area is located in the northest section of Brooklyn, bounded by Atlantic Ave to the north, Mother Gaston Ave to the east, Pitkin Ave to the south, and Howard Ave to the west.
The Sustainable Streets Index provides data on recent trends in traffic, parking, travel and safety. It also includes a section on Project Indicators, an assessment of 11 major Department of Transportation projects completed by the end of 2011. These assessments cover the projects' effects on safety, usage for motor vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and bus riders and travel times in the project areas.
This report presents findings from parking studies conducted in the fall of 2011 around Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn. The study examined the implications of different approaches to curb management generally and a residential parking permit program in particular and provides a comprehensive assessment of parking conditions in these areas as a basis for public discussion and future planning.
