PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

PHA was retained by the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation to prepare a Transportation Strategic Plan. The Brooklyn Navy Yard, which is currently home to over 330 tenants employment over 6,200 people is anticipating significant employment growth in the coming years. To address shortcomings in the transportation network to the Yard, PHA developed a series of recommendations to better serve the anticipated employment growth. This work effort entailed conducting surveys of Yard employees, holding round table discussions with existing tenants, coordinating with City agencies, preparing travel and parking forecasts, and assessing the costs of the various components of the Transportation Strategic Plan that PHA proposed. Recommendations that were explored and refined included upgrading the Yard’s shuttle system, establishing improved transit connections to the Yard, and changing the existing Yard parking system. The recommendations were formulated into a phased implementation plan for the BNYDC.

In conjunction with the Transportation Strategic Plan task, PHA prepared supplemental services for the BNYDC, including parking layouts, preliminary loading dock designs for the Building 77 rehabilitation, and ferry ridership forecasts.
