Delancey Street Reconstruction
New bike lanes and pedestrian safety and streetscape enhancements are coming to Delancey Street.
AKRF is providing the New York City Department of Transportation with engineering design services to implement these improvements along Delancey Street between Clinton Street and the Bowery in Lower Manhattan. This ‘Vision Zero’ corridor is among the top 10% of high-crash corridors in New York City.
Improvements will include sidewalk extensions, pedestrian and bicycle wayfinding signage, pedestrian ramps, new crosswalks, and new bike lanes.
Expanding the bicycle network
These measures will provide a safer and more inviting streetscape for the immediate neighborhood, while the introduction of crosstown bicycle lanes and new connections to existing uptown and downtown bicycle traffic will improve on the interconnection of Manhattan’s existing bicycle network.
We evaluated crash data, on-street parking utilization, roadway geometry and alignments, signal phasing, signage, and crosswalk locations; developed a Synchro traffic analysis model; provided full engineering design plans; and prepared unique maintenance and protection of traffic plans that balances the needs of all roadway users. AKRF also prepared the Design Approval Document for the New York State Department of Transportation.
Our work has involved close coordination with New York City Transit since the proposed work will take place within the constraints of their subway infrastructure. The amount of cover over the subway structure decreases as the subway approaches the Williamsburg Bridge, which required AKRF to create special details and designs for the expanded median space adjacent to the bridge to protect this infrastructure.
AKRF is now supporting the project as it enters construction.
