PROJECT GOALS: Hastings through Sleepy Hollow

  • Safe and connected places to walk

along & across Route 9

  • Safe and continuous places to bike

within and between villages

  • Improve traffic safety for all
  • Support planned and existing transit to

reduce automobile trips

  • Attract people using new bridge path to

shops & restaurants

OUTREACH: Higher Speeds vs Safer Walking

For our villages, safety and community vitality are best supported by...

Fast traffic speeds

More comfortable walking environment

Fast traffic speeds 10% More comfortable walking environment 90%

OUTREACH: Biking on Trails vs Biking On-street

For our villages, safety and community vitality are best supported by...

Biking on trails Biking on- street

Biking on trails 52% Biking on- street 48%

  • 2,448 car spaces, 80% in off-street lots
  • Parking study focused on Route 9 and

lots within 5’ walk

  • Supply and occupancy of spaces
  • Potential impact of new designs on

supply

  • Varying quality of stop amenities at high

ridership stops

  • Opportunities to relocate and improve stops

for existing and planned transit projects (Lower Hudson Transit Link).

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT: Street Design Guidelines

  • Reduce pedestrian exposure at key intersections
  • Streets w <25,000/day can be supported w 1-lane per direction
  • Phased designs will be recommended where current on-street and

nearby off-street utilization is high

  • Recommendations will maintain standard vehicle delay (Level of

Service E)

  • Minimum lane widths:
  • 11’ travel lanes, 10’ turning lanes
  • 7’ parking lane (where provided)
  • 5’ bike lane (each direction)
  • 1-3’ bike lane buffer
  • 5’ sidewalk, where provided

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT: Opportunities and Constraints

Opportunities

  • Many Route 9 segments with sufficient roadway width

to meet design guidelines

  • Better connections to BRT and transit
  • Improving Old Croton Aqueduct connectivity at street

crossings

  • Some suitable parallel alternatives close to village

destinations

  • Improve student safety for school journey and reduce

school drop off traffic

Constraints

  • Street segments with insufficient roadway width due to:
  • On- street parking demand
  • Narrow roadway width
  • Higher traffic volumes
  • Locations without nearby parallel routes
  • Locations where parallel routes are unsuitable due to

slope, lighting or surface type
