MYRTLE/WYCKOFF

1 MYRTLE/WYCKOFF STATION

1.1 LOCATIONLocated on Brooklyn’s border with Queens, the Myrtle/Wyckoff Avenues station serves the neighborhoods ofRidgewood and Bushwick. This intermodal station pro-vides a transfer between the M train on the Myrtle Av-enue line and the L train on the Wyckoff Avenue lineand is a transfer point for numerous bus riders.

1.2 AREA TRANSPORTATION FACILITIESThe Myrtle/Wyckoff Avenues station lies at the junctionof vehicular, subway, and bus systems, creating a ma-jor transportation hub at the streets surrounding the sta-tion.

The Brooklyn Queens Expressway and JackieRobinson Expressway lie roughly two miles away fromthe Myrtle/Wyckoff Avenues station, and motor vehicle transportation in the area relies heavily on localarterials. Major local arterials and truck routes include Myrtle Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue, CypressAvenue, Cooper Street, Broadway, and Flushing Avenue. Streets that immediately serve the stationare Myrtle Avenue, Wyckoff Avenue, Gates Avenue, and Palmetto Street.

Myrtle Avenue connects Downtown Brooklyn to Kew Gardens, Queens, and runs diagonally across therectangular street grid in Bushwick and Ridgewood. Myrtle Avenue’s path creates irregular intersec-tions including the six-legged intersection with Wyckoff Avenue and Palmetto Street. Myrtle Avenue isboth a local truck route and recommended bike route. In addition, an elevated subway line runs abovethe avenue in Brooklyn. At the intersection of Myrtle Avenue and Wyckoff Avenue the elevated trackchanges course and travels over Palmetto Street, a local street, for four blocks. Palmetto Street andGates Avenue are parallel local streets. Wyckoff Avenue is a local commercial street that runs fromFlushing Avenue to Cooper Street.

The neighborhoods of Ridgewood and Bushwick rely heavily on the M train and L train for subwayservice. The M train runs from Metropolitan Avenue in Queens, through lower Manhattan to Bay Park-way in southern Brooklyn. The L train traverses Brooklyn from Canarsie, through Bushwick andWilliamsburg, to 14th Street in Manhattan.

Seven bus lines serve the Myrtle/Wyckoff Avenues station. The Q55 and Q58 are the two Queensbuses that terminate at the station. The Q55 runs the length of Myrtle Avenue to Kew Gardens and theQ58 heads north to Flushing, Queens. The Brooklyn buses that terminate at the station are: the B13,which runs to Spring Creek; the B26, the B52, and the B54, which all travel to Downtown Brooklyn. TheB18 runs near the station on Wyckoff Avenue and has a route that stretches from Williamsburg toCypress Hills.

JOURNEY TO WORK: 1990 Myrtle-Wyckoff Secondary Study Area

2.2 JOURNEY TO WORKThe Journey to Work chart presents the distribution of various means of transportation among com-muters living in census tracts that intersect a quarter-mile radius surrounding the Myrtle/Wyckoff Av-enues station. These data were taken from the 1990 US Census.

In these census tracts, the dominant mode of transportation to work was the subway, which accountedfor 47% of commuters in the area. Based on these data, 19% of commuters drove alone in a car, truckor van, 11% traveled by bus and nine percent car pooled. Eleven percent of commuters walked towork, one percent worked at home and two percent traveled by other means of transportation.

When compared to New York City as a whole, a larger portion of the residents in the area chose to takethe subway to work (37% citywide vs. 47% in the area). However, the percentage of people who droveto work, either alone or in a car pool, was five percentage points lower for the area than for the city asa whole. Otherwise the area percentages were consistent with commuters citywide.

Reverse Journey to Work data indicate that while 35% of reverse commuters traveled to work alone ina car, truck or van, only 15% traveled to work by subway. Another 26% walked to work, 12% car pooled,eight percent traveled to work by bus and three percent worked at home. The remaining one percentof commuters traveled to work by commuter railroad, bicycle, taxicab, or other means.

2.3 MODE OF ACCESS TO SUBWAY STATIONAccording to the MTA’s 1990 survey of subway riders, 84% of passengers accessing the Myrtle/Wyck-off Avenues station walked to the station. When compared to other Brooklyn stations and stationscitywide, a large portion (11%) of subway riders traveled by bus to the station. Three percent of pas-sengers accessed the station by car, and two percent reached the station by rail or other means.

2.4 LAND USEThe land use immediately surrounding the Myrtle/Wyckoff Avenues station is commercial. Along Wy-ckoff Avenue, west of the station, and Myrtle Avenue, east of the station, there is a concentration ofmixed use residential and commercial properties. The remainder of the quarter-mile radius is primarilyresidential.

2.5 ZONING AND DEVELOPMENTThe secondary study area is primarily zoned R6 for medium density residential development. How-ever, a significant portion of the study area to the east is zoned C4-3, which permits shopping centersand offices in densely built areas. Along Myrtle Avenue, west of the study area, there is a C2-3 com-mercial overlay, permitting local retail and service establishments.

2.6 ORGANIZATIONS AND ON-GOING PROJECTSCurrently the Myrtle Avenue Business Improvement District (BID), in Queens Community Board 5, andthe Ridgewood Local Development Corporation are both active in the neighborhood surrounding thestation.

In 1992 the New York City Department of City Planning completed a study of the Ridgewood Wyckoffarea called “Improving Intermodal Transfers.” The New York City Department of Transportation hasconducted their own study called “Intermodal Nodes.”

As it stands now, this station has been selected as an American Disabilities Act (ADA) key station bythe NYC Transit Authority and the award year for funding is currently slated as 2003. A station rehab,currently in the design and planning phase, is also scheduled to be implemented in 2003.

3. PRIMARY STUDY AREA

The primary study area includes three intersections: the meeting of Myrtle Avenue, Wyckoff Avenue,and Palmetto Street; the meeting of Gates Avenue and Wyckoff Avenue; and the meeting of GatesAvenue and Myrtle Avenue. The following section describes existing conditions at the elevated station,as well as the physical conditions of nearby roadways, crosswalks, and sidewalks. Description ofphysical conditions are followed by traffic conditions.

The station is an intermodal station with seven bus lines stopping in the vicinity of the station. PalmettoStreet is the primary bus stop and lay-over area. Station usage has grown recently: the number ofregistrations in 1998 -- 3,061,925 -- was 16% higher than for 1997. The station’s 1998 registrationsmade it the 14th-most-used station in Brooklyn, and the 108th-most-used station citywide for that year.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

MYRTLE/WYCKOFF

3.1 STATION ENTRANCESThere are five entrances to the Myrtle/WyckoffAvenues station from which all trains may be ac-cessed. Two are located within a New York CityTransit Authority (NYCTA) building on the triangu-lar block bounded by Myrtle, Wyckoff, and GatesAvenues. One of these entrances faces southon Myrtle Avenue and is open 24 hours a day. Theother faces west on Gates Avenue and is openMonday through Saturday from 6:00 AM to 9:00PM.

These entrances are approximately five-and-a-half feet wide. Signage at these entrances is easy tooverlook. Furthermore, the sign above the entrance facing Myrtle Avenue is not illuminated and isdifficult to see, because the elevated structure blocks the natural light. There are no trash receptaclesnear this entrance and refuse has been placed inside the grooves of the support columns for theelevated structure.

The remaining three entrances are standard stairwells and are located on the northern side of WyckoffAvenue, west of Palmetto Street; on the eastern side of Palmetto Street, north of Myrtle Avenue; and onthe southern side of Myrtle Avenue, east of Wyckoff Avenue. The width of these entrances is approxi-mately six feet.

3.2 STREETS ADJACENT TO THE STATION ENTRANCESThe streets adjacent to the Myrtle/Wyckoff Avenues station consist of three intersections, two of whichhave irregular street geometry. The third intersection forms a 90 degree angle.

3.2.1 RoadwaysMyrtle Avenue is a two way arterial that runseast-west from Downtown Brooklyn to Kew Gar-dens in Queens. The roadbed is approximately35 feet wide in the study area, with one travel laneand one parking lane in each direction; the road-way is divided in the center by a double yellowline. The elevated structure runs above MyrtleAvenue west of its intersection with Wyckoff Av-enue and Palmetto Street. At the intersection ofMyrtle Avenue, Wyckoff Avenue, and PalmettoStreet, the elevated tracks turn northeast andtravel above Palmetto Street.

Along Myrtle Avenue one hour metered parking is permitted east of Palmetto Street. Parking is notpermitted during hours of street cleaning.

Myrtle Avenue is listed as a recommended bicycle route.

Gates Avenue, north of Myrtle Avenue

Palmetto Street, south of Myrtle Avenue

Wyckoff Avenue is a two way local street that runs east-west from Flushing Avenue to Cooper Avenuealong the border between Brooklyn and Queens. The roadbed is approximately 40 feet wide with onetravel lane and one parking lane in each direction. It is divided by a double yellow line. Two hourmetered parking is permitted on both sides of the street.

Palmetto Street is a local street that runs north-south from Broadway, in Bushwick to Traffic Av-enue, in Ridgewood. The street runs one waynorthbound until the intersection at Myrtle Avenue.North of Myrtle it becomes a two way street, whereseveral bus stops are located. South of MyrtleAvenue the roadbed is approximately 30 feet wide.North of Myrtle Avenue the street widens to ap-proximately 48 feet. On the western side of Pal-metto street, at the corner of Wyckoff Avenue,the sidewalk widens approximately four feet to ac-commodate a subway entrance, thereby narrow-ing the street to 44 feet. Parking is permitted onthe eastern side of the street south of WyckoffAvenue except during street cleaning hours. Northof Wyckoff Avenue parking is prohibited and thecurb space is reserved for buses and taxis.

Gates Avenue is a local two way street that runsnorth-south from Broadway, in Bushwick to Traf-fic Avenue, in Ridgewood. Within the study areathe roadbed is approximately 30 feet wide. Park-ing is permitted on both sides of the street, northof Wyckoff Avenue except during street cleaninghours. However, parking is prohibited directly infront of the station entrance.

Gates Avenue is listed as a recommended bi-cycle route.

3.2.2 SidewalksMost of the sidewalks within the primary studyarea are 15 to 20 feet wide. However, sidewalksalong Palmetto Street are approximately eight feetwide. Numerous buses stop along PalmettoStreet to load and unload passengers and thecomparatively narrow sidewalks carry a signifi-cant volume of pedestrian traffic.

On the western side of Palmetto Street, north ofWyckoff Avenue, the sidewalk widens by approxi-mately four feet to accommodate a subway en-trance. This subway entrance reduces the widthof the adjacent sidewalk to five feet.

3.2.3 CrosswalksMost of the crosswalks within the study area are standard pedestrian crosswalks. There are threeladder crosswalks at the three-legged intersection of Myrtle Avenue, Wyckoff Avenue, and PalmettoStreet. The crosswalks vary in width from 10 to 16 feet. At the intersection of Gates and WyckoffAvenues there are two crosswalks traversing Gates Avenue, but no crosswalks traversing WyckoffAvenue.

3.2.4 LightingThe streets surrounding the Myrtle/Wyckoff Avenues station are illuminated with standard Cobra Headluminaires. On Palmetto Street, Pendant luminaires are affixed to the elevated structure and illuminatethe street below. The elevated structure effectively blocks natural light .

3.3 TRAFFIC

3.3.1 AutomobileThe three intersections surrounding the Myrtle/Wyck-off Avenues station carry a significant volume of pas-senger vehicle and commercial traffic. The intersec-tions along Myrtle Avenue have irregular street geom-etry and cause irregular traffic patterns. In addition, atthe two intersections along Myrtle Avenue, support col-umns for the elevated lie in the roadbed causing trafficto maneuver around them.

The intersection of Gates and Wyckoff Avenues hasthe typical street geometry of a grid. However, the in-tersection is unsignalized. There are stop signs alongGates Avenue, but there are no stop signs along Wy-ckoff Avenue.

From the years 1996 through 1998, inclusive, there havebeen 36 accidents at the intersection of Myrtle andGates Avenues, another 36 at the intersection PalmettoStreet, Wyckoff Avenue, and Myrtle Avenue and 17 atthe intersection of Gates and Wyckoff Avenues. A num-ber of mid-block accidents occurred as well, including16 on Myrtle Avenue, east of Palmetto Street and fiveon Myrtle Avenue, west of Palmetto Street, near the subway entrance.

3.3.2 BusThe Myrtle/Wyckoff Avenues station serves as theterminus for seven bus routes that carry passen-gers to the primary study area. The B26 and Q58buses stop on the northern side of Wyckoff Av-enue, west of Myrtle Avenue. However, between11:00 PM and 5:00 AM the buses that run alongthese routes board passengers at the B52 busstop on Palmetto Street at Myrtle Avenue. Thereis a small yellow sign indicating this schedule.

On Palmetto Street, beneath the elevated struc-ture, there is an MTA dispatch booth from whichMTA employees can direct the high volume ofbuses. Pedestrians who are unfamiliar with thestation can easily become confused due to thelack of way-finding signage.

The Q58, B52, B54 bus lines all stop on Palmetto

3.3.3 PedestrianThere are significant volumes of pedestrian traffic at thisintermodal station. Pedestrian traffic was observed to beespecially high along Palmetto Street beneath the elevatedstructure where buses load and unload passengers. Ad-ditionally, pedestrian traffic was also observed to be highat the subway entrance on Myrtle Avenue, between Gatesand Wyckoff Avenues.

Jay walking was observed at the intersection of Wyckoffand Gates Avenues. This intersection is unsignalized andthere are no crosswalks traversing Wyckoff Avenue. Manypedestrians were observed crossing Wyckoff Avenue fromthe bus stop on Gates Avenue, north of Wyckoff Avenue inorder to reach the subway entrance on Gates Avenue,south of Wyckoff Avenue.

At the intersection of Myrtle and Gates Avenues there is asupport column embedded in the roadway. The columnis larger than the other standard support columns and itobscures the view of motorists.

On the western corner of Palmetto Street, north of Wyck-off Avenue there is a pedestrian signal presumably intendedto direct pedestrians along the crosswalk from the east-ern side of Palmetto Street. However, the pedestrian sig-nal faces the southeastern corner of Myrtle Avenue, northof Wyckoff Avenue. This pedestrian signal is potentiallyconfusing since there is no corresponding crosswalk. Pe-destrians who obey this signal literally therefore must crossa large expanse of unmarked pavement.

From the years 1996 through 1998, inclusive, there werefour pedestrian accidents at the intersection of Myrtle Av-enue, Wyckoff Avenue, and Palmetto Street, and one pe-destrian accident at the intersection of Gates and MyrtleAvenues. There was one pedestrian accident on MyrtleAvenue, west of Palmetto Street near the subway entranceand one pedestrian accident at the intersection of Gatesand Wyckoff Avenues.
