2.2 JOURNEY TO WORKThe Journey to Work chart shows the distribution of various means of transportation among commut-ers within the secondary study area. The data were taken from the 1990 US Census.

The most widely used form of transportation to work from the area surrounding the 179th Street stationwas the subway. Over 42% of the population in the area took the subway to work, as opposed to 37%of the entire city. The second most widely used mode of transportation to work was driving alone bycar, truck, or van (27%). This number was only slightly more than the population of the entire city, ofwhom 24% drove alone to work. Commuters who traveled by bus from the area composed just tenpercent of the population, whereas 13% of the whole city traveled by bus to work.

Just under nine percent of the population car pooled to work, which was proportionate with the rest ofthe city’s population, and six percent walked to work. Just over one percent traveled by railroad andless than one percent traveled by taxicab, motorcycle, or bicycle. The remaining four percent traveledto work by other means of transportation or worked at home.

Reverse journey to work data indicate that 43% of reverse commuters traveled to work by car, truck, orvan, which made this mode of transportation the most widely used by reverse commuters to this area.Almost 14% of reverse commuters walked to work, while 12% traveled by subway, and another 12%car pooled. Almost nine percent traveled by bus, one percent traveled by rail road, and an additionalone percent traveled by taxicab. The remaining eight percent either worked at home or traveled byother means of transportation.

2.3 MODE OF ACCESS TO SUBWAY STATIONThe most widely used mode of access to this subway station was by bus. Over 43% of commutersusing the 179th Street station accessed the station by bus. This percentage was the second highestamong all Queens subway stations. Only 24% of commuters walked to the station, which is a rela-tively low percentage when compared to other Queens stations.

There are numerous schools in the area of the179th Street subway station. The Immaculate Con-ception Monastery and School are located onDalny Road between Edgerton Boulevard andMidland Parkway. The school has an enrollmentof 430 elementary school students. The MaryLewis Academy on Edgerton Boulevard has anenrollment of 950 high school students. PublicSchool 95 is located at 90th Avenue and 179th

Street, south of the study area and has 1,500 stu-dents currently enrolled. The Susan B. AnthonySchool is a middle school located at Hillside Av-enue and 182nd Street.

2.5 ZONING AND DEVELOPMENTThe southwest Quadrant of the study area is zoned R6, which permits medium density residentialdevelopment. The southeast quadrant, east of 181st Street and south of 89th Avenue, is zoned R3-2,which permits low density multiple dwelling units. The area east of 181st Street, north of 89th Avenue,and north of Hillside Avenue is zoned R5, which permits three story rowhouse development or smallapartment buildings. Jamaica Estates, in the northernmost section of the study area, is zoned R1-2,which permits single family detached residences. There is a C2-2 zoning overlay along Hillside Av-enue, which permits local shops and services mixed with residential uses.

2.6 ORGANIZATIONS AND ON-GOING PROJECTSAt present there are no official Business Improvement Districts, Civic, or business organizations pres-ently working within the secondary study area.

As it stands now this station has been selected as an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) key stationby the NYC Transit Authority. The elevator will be installed on the north side of Hillside Avenue, between179th Place and 180th Street. Work is scheduled to commence in 2002.

The Department of City Planning is conducting a Jamaica Redevelopment Study, which includes thisarea, and will be making preliminary zoning recommendations in 2001. The area may provide thepotential for limited upzonings along Hillside Avenue.

3.2.3 CrosswalksCrosswalk width ranges from 12 feet to 17 feet wide. All crosswalks east of 178th Street are standardpedestrian crosswalks. Three of the crosswalks at the intersection of Edgerton Boulevard, 178th Street,and Hillside Avenue are ladder crosswalks. The crosswalk at the western side of the intersection is astandard pedestrian crosswalk.

The northwest corner of Midland Parkway and Hillside Avenue, and the southeast corner of 180th Streetand Hillside Avenue do not have a crosswalk leading to each other.

3.2.4 LightingThe streets and sidewalks surrounding the 179th Street station are primarily illuminated with standardCobra Head luminaries affixed to fabricated steel lampposts.

3.3 TRAFFIC

3.3.1 AutomobileHillside Avenue is a local truck route and commercial strip.It carries a significant volume of commercial traffic as wellas passenger vehicles through Queens to Nassau County.The side streets off Hillside Avenue in the study area arelocal streets and do not carry heavy volumes of commer-cial traffic.

During peak hours there is heavy automobile traffic alongHillside Avenue as commuters are discharged from pri-vate vehicles. Although there is no parking or standingpermitted along Hillside Avenue, “kiss-and-ride” activity isheavy often interfering with bus operation.

Left turns from Hillside Avenue are not permitted from Mon-day through Friday between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM, and4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

There have been numerous automobile accidents from1996 through 1998 at each of the intersections along Hill-side Avenue within the primary study area. The highestnumber was 51 accidents at the intersection of HillsideAvenue and 179th Street. There were 38 accidents at the intersection of Midland Parkway and HillsideAvenue, 27 at 180th Street and Hillside Avenue, 20 at Edgerton Boulevard and Hillside Avenue, 17 at178th Street and Hillside Avenue, and 14 at 179th Place and Hillside Avenue.

SUBWAY-SIDEWALK INTERFACE PROJECT

179TH STREET

3.3.2 BusThe 179th Street subway station is a large intermodal terminalwith connections to numerous bus lines that carry passen-gers through Queens and Nassau County. The Q1, 2, 3, 17,36, 43, 63, 75, 76, and 77 all stop along Hillside Avenue andrun through many areas in Queens including Jamaica Centerand JFK Airport. The X32 express bus travels directly to theBronx, the X68 express bus travels to Manhattan, and the N1,2, 3, 6, 22, 22A, 24, and 26 provide access to Nassau County.

Due to the large number of buses at this station, signage indi-cating where the buses stop is often confusing. Along thesouth side of Hillside, between 180th Street and 181st Street,three independent signs indicate where the Q77, and Q63 stop.Each bus stops at a different location along the block. Thesouth side of Hillside Avenue between 180th Street and 179th

Place is also designated as a bus stop, however, signagealso indicates that all Transit Authority buses only stop therebetween 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM daily and all day on the week-end. From the signage it appears that the Q77, and Q63 arethe only buses that stop along Hillside Avenue.

The signage at the corner of Hillside and Edgerton Boulevard is clear. Here the route numbers arewritten on the bus stop sign. These are also the most congested bus stops due to their proximity to theschool. The problem on the south side of Hillside Avenue is exasperated, because of the narrowsidewalk.

3.3.3 PedestrianSignal timing for pedestrians is ample to cross the streetand crosswalks direct pedestrians to the proper destina-tions.

There is pedestrian congestion at bus stops where pas-sengers transfer from the subway, particularly at peakhours. This congestion is slightly mitigated by the side-walk widening around some of the entrances.

Vehicles turn right from Midland onto HillsideThere is no traffic light preceding the crosswalk

Congestion also occurs in the early afternoon whenstudents are dismissed from school. The sidewalksare wide enough to handle the large numbers ofstudents, with the exception of the southwest cor-ner of Hillside Avenue and Edgerton Boulevard.Here, the sidewalk narrows to ten feet. There is abus stop that is used by many of the students onthe corner.

Along Hillside Avenue, west of Midland Parkway and180th Street, there is no traffic signal before thecrosswalk, however, there is a pedestrian signal.Vehicles are not cautioned to yield to pedestrians atthis crosswalk. This intersection had five pedes-trian accidents, the highest within the primary studyarea from the years 1996 to 1998.

At each of the other intersections along Hillside Avenue, within the primary study area, there has beenat least one pedestrian accident. At 179th Street and 178th Street there were four each. There weretwo at Edgerton Boulevard, and one each at 179th Place and Midland Parkway.
