1. GUN HILL ROAD/WHITE PLAINS STATION

1.1 LOCATIONThe Gun Hill Road station provides access to the 2 and5 trains on the White Plains Road line in theWilliamsbridge and Olinville neighborhoods of the north-east Bronx. The 5 train only runs during rush hours inthe direction of peak flow.

1.2 AREA TRANSPORTATION FACILITIESThe neighborhoods of Williamsbridge and Olinville areaccessible by various modes of transportation, includ-ing bus, subway, elevated train, railroad, truck, automo-bile and bicycle.

The Gun Hill Road station is located immediately to thenorth of the intersection of East Gun Hill Road and WhitePlains Road, which are both designated truck routes. Other major arterials in the area include theBronx River Parkway, Pelham Parkway, and Moshulu Parkway. A greenway exists on Bronx Boule-vard, running parallel to the Bronx River Parkway. South of East Gun Hill Road, the New York CityBicycle Master Plan recommends the use of Bronx Boulevard as a bicycle route.

Several subway and elevated lines are located in the vicinity, including the White Plains Road, DyreAvenue, Concourse, and Jerome Avenue lines. Both the White Plains Road line and the Dyre Avenueline, which runs to its east, continue for several stops, and then terminate immediately south of NewYork City’s border with Westchester County. The Concourse and Jerome Avenue lines terminate tothe west of the Gun Hill Road station. To the west of the Bronx River Parkway, the Williams BridgeMetro-North station provides service on the Harlem and New Haven lines to Connecticut and Westchester,Putnam and Dutchess counties.

A number of buses serve the area, including the Bx41, Bx28, Bx30, Bx39 and Bx55 limited-stop servicebuses.

JOURNEY TO WORK: 1990 Gun Hill Road Secondary Study Area

2.2 JOURNEY TO WORKThe Journey to Work chart, based on the 1990 census, presents the distribution of various modes oftransportation among commuters living in census tracts that intersect the quarter-mile radius of theGun Hill Road station.

In these census tracts, the dominant means of transportation to work was the subway with 38%,followed closely by driving, either alone or in a car pool, with 35%. These figures were typical of NewYork City as whole, where 37% of commuters took the subway, and 33% drove to work. Nearly 19% ofresidents took the bus to work, which was higher than the citywide average of 13%. At less than fourpercent, a lower percentage of people walked to work than in New York City as a whole, where 11% ofcommuters walked to work. Despite its proximity to the Williams Bridge Metro-North station, less thantwo percent of residents traveled to work via railroad. The remaining two percent of commuters trav-eled to work by other means of transportation.

Reverse Journey to Work data indicate that over 59% of people who worked within the secondarystudy area drove to work, either alone or in a car pool. Another 17% of reverse commuters traveled bybus, and eight percent walked to work. Only ten percent of people who worked in the study areatraveled to work by subway. Those who worked at home comprised two percent of reverse commut-ers, just one percent traveled by railroad, and another one percent traveled by taxi. The remainingthree percent of reverse commuters traveled to work by other means of transportation.

2.3 MODE OF ACCESS TO SUBWAY STATIONAccording to the MTA’s 1990 survey of subway riders, over 86% of users of the Gun Hill Road stationwalked to the station. This station ranked 12th out of 68 in the borough of the Bronx in terms of pedes-trian access. Another seven percent took the bus to the station, while four percent drove. Despite itsproximity to Williams Bridge Metro-North station, less than one percent arrived at the station via rail-road.

2.4 LAND USEA mixture of residential and commercial uses exists in the vicinity of the Gun Hill Road station. Whilethe areas southeast and northwest of the station are primarily residential, commercial uses exist onWhite Plains Road, adjacent to the elevated structure. A number of one and two story buildings withclothing shops, restaurants, and other retail establishments at the ground floor exist along White PlainsRoad. Two gas stations and several fast food restaurants are located southwest of the intersection ofEast Gun Hill Road and White Plains Road.

EXISTING CONDITIONS


The neighborhood is well served by public facilities, including a post office, a fire station, and twoelementary schools. The area also has a number of parks and open spaces including Williams BridgeSquare, and Greenstreets landscaping at the traffic triangle located southwest of the elevated struc-ture. A Work Employment Program office occupies the former comfort station in the southern portionof Williams Bridge Square, as well as park benches, and a patch of grass divided by a dirt path. Thenorthern portion of the square houses the Gun Hill Road elevated station, and vacant areas, bothenclosed and unenclosed by chain link fencing. The paved area to the west of the elevated station hasa number of mature maple trees, both in tree pits, and protruding through the pavement. A quantity ofundefined space exists under the elevated structure on both the north and south sides of the station.

2.5 ZONING AND DEVELOPMENTZoning in the vicinity of the Gun Hill Road station permits a mixture of residential and commercial uses.The area immediately surrounding the Gun Hill Road station is zoned R6, which permits mediumdensity residential development. The area south of East Gun Hill Road and east of White Plains Roadis zoned R5, which permits rowhouse development. C1-2 and C2-2 commercial overlays, exist alongWhite Plains Road, permitting low scale retail development adjacent to the elevated structure. Largercommercial development is permitted in the C8-1 zone located immediately southwest of the station,which permits automotive and other heavy commercial uses.

There are no ULURP applications pending in the study area.

2.6 ORGANIZATIONS AND ON-GOING PROJECTSSignage adjacent to the station entrances indicates the presence of two neighborhood organizations,including the White Plains Road Business Improvement District and the Williamsbridge-Olinville-Wakefield Local Development Corporation. In the 2000 Statement of Community District Needs, BronxCommunity Board No. 12 indicates its commitment to improving its commercial districts by augment-ing support for its Merchants Associations and Local Development Corporations. Other transportationissues prioritized in the Statement include the milling and resurfacing of roadways, and the installationand maintenance of sidewalks, decorative street signs, lighting and litter receptacles. Adjacent to GunHill Road station, preference was indicated for improved lighting and police presence under the el-evated structure, as well as increased enforcement of parking regulations.

Major reconstruction of the Gun Hill Road Metro-North railroad bridge is planned for 2002, which willtemporarily reduce Gun Hill Road to one moving lane in each direction.

3. PRIMARY STUDY AREA

The primary study area includes the intersections of White Plains Road with East Gun Hill Road, East211th Street and East 212th Street. The presence of the diamond shaped Williams Bridge Square andthe two traffic triangles located to its west contribute to the unique geometry of these intersections.

In 1998, the Gun Hill Road subway station had 1,119,571 turnstile registrations, an increase of 30%over the 1995 total of 858,229. Renovation of the Gun Hill Road station is currently in the planning anddesign phase, and is scheduled for reconstruction in 2002.

South side of Gun Hill Road Station

Western entrance to Gun Hill Road StationEastern entrance to Gun Hill Road Station

3.1 STATION ENTRANCESThe Gun Hill Road station is located in a fully enclosedbuilding on the northern portion of Williams BridgeSquare, which is maintained by the Department ofParks and Recreation. Williams Bridge Square issituated on a median which divides the northboundand southbound lanes of White Plains Road. Whilethe station’s platforms are elevated, both of its en-trances are at grade and its stairwells are enclosedby the elevated structure. The token booth and turn-stiles are located on the mezzanine level. A quantityof unutilized space, with a variety of pavement treat-ments exists under the elevated structure adjacentto the station.

There are two entrances to the Gun Hill Road station, located on the east and west sides of the median.Each of these entrances is defined by a set of double doors, divided by a vertical post. The posts,which divide each entrance into two sections that are each less than three feet wide, were observed tobe constricting the flow of pedestrian traffic entering and exiting the station.

The eastern entrance is at grade and was observed to be the busiest. A support column, parkingmeter, and garbage can are located immediately in front of this entrance; a newsstand is locatedseveral steps to the south. There are six steps leading up to the western entrance.

3.2 STREETS ADJACENT TO THE STATION ENTRANCES

3.2.1 RoadwaysWhite Plains Road is the main commercial street in the area. A two way arterial, White Plains Roadruns north-south, and has two wide moving lanes in each direction, plus two parking lanes runningnorth, and one parking lane running south. Within the study area, White Plains Road is divided by amedian. North of the elevated station, the most westerly of the northbound lanes ends abruptly with asupport column in the roadway. There are two traffic triangles on the west side of White Plains Road;one on each side of its intersection with East Gun Hill Road. The triangle to the south of the intersec-tion is complemented by landscaping that is maintained by the Greenstreets program. Metered park-ing is located on the east and west sides of White Plains Road, as well as to the east of the median.White Plains Road is a designated truck route.

East Gun Hill Road is a two way arterial, running east-west with two moving lanes in each direction.There is a left-turn bay adjacent to the median at its intersection with White Plains Road. East Gun HillRoad is a designated truck route.

East 211th Street is a 30 foot wide one way eastbound street, with one moving lane and one parkinglane. East 211th Street runs only three blocks within the vicinity of the Gun Hill Road station, and istruncated by White Plains Road to the west, and by Barnes Avenue to the east.

Sidewalks on east side of White Plains Road

Distinctive crosswalks adjacent to White Plains Road

3.2.2 SidewalksThe sidewalks on White Plains Road and East GunHill Road, are 20 feet wide, with the exception of thesidewalks adjacent to the median and traffic triangle,which range in width from 14 to 16 feet. A five footwide distinctive masonry treatment spans the ame-nity strip on both sides of White Plains Road acrossfrom the elevated station. Traffic signals and lamp-posts are located on the sidewalks on the northeast,southeast, and southwest corners of the intersectionof East Gun Hill Road and the northbound lanes ofWhite Plains Road, immediately adjacent to thecrosswalks. Street vendors and periodically overflow-ing garbage receptacles contribute to congestion onthe sidewalks of the east side of White Plains Road.

3.2.3 CrosswalksA distinctive masonry crosswalk treatment exists onthe side streets that traverse the east side of WhitePlains Road. The balance of crosswalks in the areaare standard pedestrian crosswalks. Although thereare no crosswalks adjacent to the station entrances,a number of commuters were observed jay walkingacross White Plains Road to the east, instead of walk-ing nearly 200 feet to cross at its intersection withEast Gun Hill Road.

3.2.4 LightingA series of Brooklyn Bridge type luminaries exist onthe east side of White Plains Road across the streetfrom the Gun Hill Road station, as well as Cobra Headand pedestrian scale lighting. Lighting underneaththe elevated station may be insufficient.

3.3 TRAFFIC

3.3.1 AutomobileBoth White Plains Road and Gun Hill Road are busyarterials that carry a significant amount of vehicular traf-fic. Both of these arterials are designated truck routes,and loading and unloading activity is frequently seenadjacent to the retail shops on the east side of WhitePlains Road. Despite the existence of ample meteredparking on White Plains Road, a significant amount of‘kiss-and-ride’ activity occurs outside of the eastern en-trance to the elevated, resulting in double parking onthe west side of the northbound lanes of White PlainsRoad. These two factors may contribute to the con-gestion on White Plains Road between East Gun HillRoad and East 213th Street.

Cars, trucks, and buses pass rapidly on White PlainsRoad, particularly on the southbound lanes. Automo-biles also move quickly when turning right at the traffictriangle from East Gun Hill Road to White Plains Road,in spite of the presence of a pedestrian crosswalk. Alarge number of vehicles turn from eastbound East GunHill Road onto northbound White Plains Road. At thisintersection, the left hand turn bay was observed tohave long lines of automobiles waiting to turn left.

Unlike the areas surrounding other elevated stations on White Plains Road, there is no vehicular trafficunder the elevated structure adjacent to the station. Southbound cars and articulated buses on WhitePlains Road are diverted onto the west of the elevated structure, north of the station at East 213th

Street. Vehicular traffic moving on the most westerly of the northbound lanes confronts a supportcolumn in the roadway south of East 213th Street.

During the years 1996 to 1998 inclusive, a significant number of accidents occurred on northboundWhite Plains Road between East Gun Hill Road and East 212th Street, adjacent to the elevated struc-ture. At the intersection of southbound White Plains Road and East Gun Hill Road, 101 accidentsoccurred. Seven accidents occurred at the T-intersection of northbound White Plains Road and East211th Street. Another 11 accidents occurred mid-block on Northbound White Plains Road betweenEast Gun Hill Road and East 211th Street, across from the eastern entrance to the elevated station. Atthe intersection of northbound White Plains Road and East Gun Hill Road 38 accidents occured.

3.3.2 BusThere is a significant amount of bus traffic adjacent to the station. The highest degree of congestionwas observed near the bus shelter on the west side of White Plains Road. Many of the buses thatserve this area are elongated articulated buses. Both the Bx39 and the Bx55 Limited routes terminateadjacent to the elevated station. The northbound buses then turn around under the elevated structureat East 213th Street to commence their southbound routes. The Bx28 and Bx30 routes run east-westthrough the area, and have shelters on both sides of East Gun Hill Road, east of its intersection withWhite Plains Road. Subway riders wishing to transfer to bus service must cross White Plains Road inorder to access any of the bus stops in the area. The bus stops located closest to the eastern en-trance to the elevated station are located nearly a block away from the nearest crosswalk that traversesWhite Plains Road.

3.3.3 PedestrianThere is a great deal of pedestrian activity adjacent tothe retail establishments on the east side of WhitePlains Road. While the west side of White Plains Roadwas observed to have lower pedestrian volumes, thearea adjacent to the Bx41/Bx55 bus shelter was ob-served to be congested at times. Commuters mustcross at least one street in order to transfer from thestation to any of the bus stops or shelters in the area.

Frequent jay walking was observed across the north-bound lanes of White Plains Road. Although this en-trance is aligned with East 211th Street to the east, thisunsignalized intersection does not have a crosswalk.The nearest crosswalk to this entrance occurs a fullblock away, at the southeast intersection of White PlainsRoad and East Gun Hill Road.

Two pedestrian accidents occurred adjacent to the sta-tion entrance, at the intersection of East 211th Streetand northbound White Plains Road during the years1996 to 1998 inclusive. Another two pedestrian acci-dents occurred mid-block between East 211th Streetand East Gun Hill Road. Another eight pedestrian ac-cidents occurred at the intersection of East Gun Hill Road and Southbound White Plains Road andnine occured at the interesection of East Gun Hill Road and Northbound White Plains Road. Thesesame four nodes had high occurrences of vehicular accidents during the same time period.
