Springfield Gardens South Jamaica

The study will assess existing and future transportation conditions and develop recommendations for improvement

The Springfield Gardens/South Jamaica Transportation Study was conducted in response to growing traffic congestion in the area and safety concerns expressed by the community and elected officials to improve traffic operations and roadway infrastructure. Council Member Donovan Richards also requested that DOT extend the Springfield Gardens/JFK Transportation Study area to address numerous locations and issues raised by the community at previous meetings. This study, therefore, complemented that study, which was completed in December 2016.

The purpose of this study was to assess existing and future traffic conditions and develop effective solutions to traffic and transportation problems. The study adopted a multimodal approach, thus it will examine all travel modes. It also analyzed traffic/transit operations, truck circulation and loading/unloading activities, crash locations and frequency, and parking capacity and utilization.

This area wide transportation study incorporated community input during the entire study process in conjunction with data collection efforts to shape the identification of issues and development of improvement measures. This feedback, in addition to other public comments and initiatives, helped us to understand the community issues and develop improvements.
