TDM QUESTIONS There are three studies promised post-event: A traffic and pedestrian count at X intersections paid for

r by FCRC and conducted by Sam Schwartz. A transportation survey in the form of interviews with around 500 arena patrons to determine the modal split, (the % of patrons arriving by auto, transit, etc.). A DOT study of on-street parking. Both FCRC and taxpayers have financed the operation of the arena so far by paying for NYPD officers, Traffic Enforcement Agents (TEAs), and pedestrian managers. A key question is What were the staffing levels for the NYPD, TEAs and pedestrian managers at the events studied? This will give a point of comparison as staffing levels are lowered in the future. Traffic Are there intersections with significant impacts? If so, which ones and what steps are proposed to mitigate the problem? What is the level of TEAs FCRC and Barclays Center have committed to finance in the future? What is the length and term of the contract? Can you distinguish the differences in the mode shares of the various days, times and types of events? With the Long Island Islanders being added in 2014 or 2015, and their modal split likely different from the Nets, is there a plan for a follow up TDM study of the Islanders? Do this study use dated Highway Capacity Manual, 2000 guidelines instead of the improved guidelines in the Highway Capacity Manual, 2010 to assess levels of service (LOS)? CEQR generally considers Friday night traffic to be the worst of the week. Why didnt you study a Friday night event? When will the DOT parking survey be released?

Pedestrians It is our understanding the pedestrian follow-up study analyzes crosswalks, but not sidewalk capacity. Are there areas where problems were identified with crosswalks? If so, what specific strategies are being used to address the problems identified? Have any studies ever looked at the levels of service of the sidewalks of the arena block post-event? If so, can you make them available? Does this study use dated Highway Capacity Manual, 2000 guidelines instead of the improved Highway Capacity Manual, 2010 to assess levels of service (LOS)? Has FCRC and Barclays Center agreed to continue financing pedestrian managers? If so, at what levels, and what is the length and terms of the contract? Transit The projects FEIS states that if there is overcrowding on subway platforms it will be mitigated by an increase in the number of trains. Instead of producing more trains, the stairs and turnstiles of the transit entrance on the plaza are often reduced in capacity with police tape as a way to slow patrons entering the transit station. Why this change in the mitigation from what was anticipated in 2006? Part of LIRRs east-side access project is to turn the train from Jamaica to Atlantic Terminal into a shuttle. Arena patrons from further east of Jamaica are going to have to transfer at Jamaica to a dedicated platform. This will make travel less convenient. Has this change been anticipated, and is there a plan to follow up with a study about this change, especially given the addition of Islanders games to arena events? Parking Where are patrons parking? What is the breakdown between on-street parking, park and ride lots, private lots and block 1129? How does TDM incentivize (or not) the use of these spaces? What was the number of black limos that arrived at the events studied? How many stayed for the course of the event, and where did they park? How many violations were given during the events studied? How does TDM incentivize (or not) legal parking behavior?

Because of their work schedule, arena employees compete heavily with local residents for on-street parking spaces in the area near the arena. How many employees worked at the arena on the nights assessed? What is their modal split? Are the parking locations and loading zones for the disabled at Barclays Center compliant with the American Disabilities Act, (ADA)? Where is the arenas permanent below grade parking lot on the arena block going to be located and will its exit cause dragging in its proposed location? How many parking spaces are planned for block 1129 once B2 is completed? Why is the State studying eliminating parking for residents of Atlantic Yards second phase buildings, but not its first phase given the residents in the projects first phase will live much closer to transit?
