What about Transportation enhancements?

We’ve developed plans to improve local infrastructure including:

  • Two (2) new MTA bus stops to enhance public access to area
  • Constructing a highway overpass near Lafayette Avenue
  • Widening Ring Road including 2-moving lanes
  • Drainage improvements to address flooding
  • Pedestrian walkways, bike lanes, and Ring Road street parking

2015 City Planning Study

  • Recommended reclassifying “Ring Road” as mapped city street under DOT’s jurisdiction instead of park roadway
  • Projected increased use of park areas and manufacturing to the north would increase volumes
  • Concluded road upgrades and transferring jurisdiction to DOT would ensure proper maintenance and accommodations
  • Additional mitigation and improvement measures have been proposed as part of the project
