Public Scope Meeting and Community Desires
Scope meeting was held on July 15th, 2015 and attended by NYCDPR, Quennell Rothschild and Partners, CB7 and CB9.
COMMENTS FROM SCOPE MEETING:
The group physically surveyed sites between 100 St. and 108th St. and reviewed design drawings of the remaining sites. Their biggest concerns for bus stop improvement design include:
• Repair of dangerous tripping hazards at bus stops and on approaches to bus loading areas including settled and broken pavement and curbs.
• Remove bus stops from areas where they overlap with pedestrian crosswalks.
• Design in keeping with surrounding monument paving and views.
• Adding ADA access at each of the bus stops in the project area including ADA ramps at crosswalks and paved access to bus loading areas.
• Minimize parking area removal at bus bump-outs.
• Provide safe vehicular navigation around stopped buses.
