Overview:
This transportation study was initiated in response to community concerns about existing and potential traffic congestion and safety issues with respect to traffic movements due to approved (as of September 17, 2003) rezoning and potential future land use developments North Corona, located in northern Queens, encompasses a portion of Community District 3.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of existing and projected future vehicular circulation, parking demand, public transit utilization, and pedestrian circulation patterns within the study area. This study develops ecommendations to improve existing and future traffic circulation at principal intersections within the study area.
The overall objective of this study is to examine:

• the 2003 existing conditions, including traffic (during the AM, MD, PM, and Sunday MD peak hours), on- and off-street parking conditions, public transit services, and pedestrian circulation
• the 2013 future conditions, using the general background growth factor for Queens
• the 2013 future conditions, including the trips generated by four projected development sites (site no. 1 to 4, Figure 15).

• Vehicular Traffic - Vehicular flow and signage improvements are recommended.
