摘要

The Village of Great Neck Plaza, a suburban incorporated village located on Long Island, NY, has embarked on a comprehensive program to improve pedestrian safety through traffic calming initiatives. The Village is densely populated containing approximately 90 multiple-family apartment buildings, forty-five office buildings, a Central Business District with 260 boutique stores, two senior independent living facilities, a nursing home, three parks and the Great Neck station of the Long Island Rail Road, which serves as a transportation hub for the entire Great neck peninsula. As a result, this small community, only one-third of an acre in size, is subject to gridlock conditions in the area adjacent to the train station and commercial district, speeding vehicles approaching the Village on wide arterial streets and pedestrian safety problems associated with busy city centers. The over-65 population in the Village is increasing, and this age group now comprises over 30% of the population and growing each year.rnThis paper will address the traffic calming initiatives completed by the Village and those underway to address vehicular and pedestrian safety, including a modern roundabout, illuminated pedestrian crossing signs, electronic speed awareness devices, countdown type pedestrian signals, enhanced crosswalks, and a road diet. This program has been funded primarily by the New York State Department of Transportation through its Local Safe Streets and Traffic Calming grants. It will discuss the techniques employed and ways in which constrained municipal budgets can be leveraged to benefit the safety of pedestrians who walk the Village streets.
