1 Neighborhood Pedestrian Safety and Traffic Calming Study for the area bounded by Foster Avenue, Bedford Avenue, Farragut Road and Ocean Avenue Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York prepared by Michael King, for Transportation Alternatives, and the East 23 rd Street Residents Block Association
2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study looks at the possibilities for traffic calming and improved pedestrian safety in the neighborhood bounded by Foster Avenue, Bedford Avenue, Farragut Road and Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. Traffic calming is defined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers as the combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior, and improve conditions for non-motorized street users. Traffic calming accomplishes these goals via self-enforcing and self-explaining roadway designs. The solutions presented in this study break down into four locations: A Farragut Road between Ocean and Bedford Avenues, B the intersection of Ocean and Foster Avenues, C Foster Avenue between Ocean and Bedford Avenues, and D the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Farragut Road. A series of pedestrian refuge islands and lane markings are proposed for Farragut Road to control excessive vehicle speeds and assist in crossing the street. Cost estimate: $33,500. Left turn lanes, a leading pedestrian interval and a raised median are proposed for the intersection of Ocean and Foster Avenues to better manage turning vehicles and assist in crossing the street. Cost estimate: $16,000. A series of striped curb extensions are proposed for Foster Avenue to provide better sight lines for drivers and assist in crossing the street. Cost estimate: $35,000. A redesigned intersection with curb extensions, a raised median, left turn lanes, and a leading pedestrian interval is proposed for the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Farragut Road. This will better manage the transition from four to two lanes on Ocean Avenue, better manage turning vehicles and assist in crossing the street. Cost estimate: $325,000. Also included in this study are analytical maps, a time-lapse movie of children crossing Farragut Road, and photomontages of the pedestrian refuge islands and curb extensions.

Install pedestrian refuge islands that also act as chicanes. 12-foot wide islands with a 33-foot offset will yield a design speed of mph. Plant the islands with trees, shrubs and flowers. Work with Parks Dept. Add stop lines and paint to curbs. This will more clearly define the intersection. $3500 $30,000 Varies Mid term The chicanes above, by narrowing the roadway at the intersection will encourage people not to park too closely. -- Short term Install marked crosswalks -- Short term Evaluate for all-way stop signs. -- Short term Evaluate for all-way stop signs $ 33,500 total Notes 1 - no cost estimate provided if solution is part of usual city budget (crosswalks, stop lines, signal timing, sidewalks).

15 CHICANE FIGURE: 17-S Notes: The offset width (W) is desirably the lane width minus 4 feet with a minimum of 6 feet. Where there are no lane markings, the actual operating space between parked cars and/or the curb should be used. The speed profile (S) of a single lane shift is 5 mph less than a chicane of the same dimensions. The taper length (L) is determined from the MUTCD formula: L=WS 2 /60 where L is length of taper, W is width the vehicle is forced to shift, and S is desired speed profile.

16 Location B Ocean Avenue and Foster Avenue B1 B2 B3 ISSUE ANALYSIS PHASE SOLUTION BALL PARK ESTIMATE 1 Problematic left turns at Ocean and Foster Avenues intersection Vehicle-pedestrian injury incident at Ocean and Foster Avenues intersection. All signalized intersections are on PS 152 school routes. Angle of intersection allows higher speed turns. Short term Mid term Long term Install 10-foot wide left turn lanes along Ocean Avenue. Add 10-foot wide raised median along Ocean Avenue between Foster Avenue and Farragut Road. Plant the islands with trees, shrubs and flowers. Work with Parks Dept. See note 2 Short term Add 7 second Leading Pedestrian Interval. Add lagging left turn phase. See note 2 Short term Add 7 second Leading Pedestrian Interval to all signalized intersections in neighborhood. -- $ 16,000 Varies $ 16,000 total Notes 1 - no cost estimate provided if solution is part of usual city budget (crosswalks, stop lines, signal timing, sidewalks). 2 - Two out of three people hit at signalized intersections in NYC are hit while crossing WITH the green light. Leading Pedestrian Intervals reduce pedestrian injury severity by 64 percent.

19 Location C Foster Avenue C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 ISSUE ANALYSIS PHASE SOLUTION BALL PARK ESTIMATE 1 Excessive truck traffic on Foster Avenue This is NOT a truck route and is signed as such. High speed turns from Foster Avenue onto side streets Vehicles parked near intersections along Foster Avenue No marked crosswalks across Foster Avenue at East 23 Street Lack of sidewalk at bus stop on southeast corner of Foster Avenue and East 22 Street 5-15% of traffic during peak periods is trucks with 3 or more axles Angle of intersections allows speeds of up to 25 mph. Should be on PS 152 school route map Condition and use of bus stop area warrants concrete sidewalk. Short term Because this is a bus route aggressive traffic calming features are not possible. Requires enforcement and citizens watch. Mid term Install striped curb extensions with planters on 3 corners per intersection. These will allow delivery trucks to be able to turn, but will slow cars down. Location of catch basis makes makes real curb extensions cost prohibitive. Short term Add stop lines from curb to curb. This will more clearly define the intersection. -- $35,000 Mid term The curb extension above will keep people from -- parking too close to the intersection. Short term Install marked crosswalks. -- Mid term Add sidewalk $ 35,000 total Notes 1 - no cost estimate provided if solution is part of usual city budget (crosswalks, stop lines, signal timing, sidewalks).
