2.1 POPULATION DATA
The population pie chart shows the age distribution of residents in census tracts that intersect the
secondary study area, as per the 1990 US Census. The total population of the area was 35,403. The
demographic breakdown by age did not differ widely from that of New York City as a whole. At 12%, the
senior citizen population in this area was only one percentage point lower than in the city as a whole
(13%). Similarly, the number of residents under the age of 21 was typical of the citywide population, at
just under 30% of the secondary study area, versus 29% of New York City. The remaining 58% of the
population was between the ages of 22 and 64.

2.2 JOURNEY TO WORK
The Journey to Work chart presents the distribution of various means of transportation among commuters living in census tracts that intersect a quarter-mile radius of the Nostrand Avenue subway
station. These data were taken from the 1990 census.
In these census tracts, the dominant mode of transportation to work was the subway, which accounted
for nearly half of the commuters who lived in the area. Based on the census data, 17% of commuters
drove to work alone, while five percent of commuters car pooled. Another 17% of commuters traveled
by bus, while five percent of commuters walked to work. Despite the study area’s proximity to the Long
Island Rail Road, only two percent of commuters used the railroad to travel to work. The remaining
four percent of commuters traveled to work by other means of transportation.
A higher proportion of residents of the secondary study area (50%) traveled to work via subway than in
New York City as a whole (37%). Similarly, 17% of commuters traveled by bus, versus 13% citywide.
A smaller percentage of commuters in the secondary study area drove (17% vs. 33%) or walked to
work (five percent vs. 11%) than in New York City as a whole.
Reverse Journey to Work data indicate that of the people who worked in the area, over 31% of reverse
commuters drove to work alone. Approximately ten percent of reverse commuters walked to work, and
another ten percent car pooled. Over 23% traveled to work by subway and 19% traveled by bus. The
remaining seven percent of reverse commuters traveled to work by other means of transportation.

2.3 MODE OF ACCESS TO SUBWAY STATION
According to the MTA’s 1990 survey of subway riders, over 89% of subway riders walked to the Nostrand
Avenue subway station, while five percent arrived by bus and four percent drove to the station. Despite
the station’s proximity to the Nostrand Avenue Long Island Rail Road station, only one percent of
commuters traveled to the subway station by railroad. The Nostrand Avenue subway station ranked 99
out of the 157 stations citywide in terms of pedestrian access.
2.4 LAND USE
A mixture of commercial and residential uses exists in the area adjacent to the Nostrand Avenue
subway station. Fulton Street is the main commercial strip in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area, where
retail establishments sell vegetables, clothing, botanica, fabrics, and fast food. Residences in the
area include one to three family walk-up apartment buildings, with commercial uses at the ground floor.
Many of these residential buildings were constructed in the 19th Century; some are vacant above the
first floor.

2.5 ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT
Zoning in the vicinity of the Nostrand Avenue subway station is primarily R-6 residential with
C1-3 and C2-3 commercial overlays at the ground floor. Larger scale commercial development is permitted in the C4-3 zone located on Fulton Street between Bedford and Nostrand
Avenues. Community Board three has prioritized the development of “high-end” franchises
and a movie theatre along the Fulton Street commercial corridor, as part of its program for
economic revitalization.
2.6 ORGANIZATIONS AND ON-GOING PROJECTS
The primary merchant’s association in the vicinity of the Nostrand Avenue subway station is
the Fulton-Nostrand Merchant’s Association. Local merchants have also discussed organizing a Business Improvement District, although at present, no such structure formally
exists. The most recently completed capital development project in the vicinity of Nostrand
Avenue was the pedestrian overpass to the Franklin Avenue subway station, which was
achieved through the support of Community Board three. The Community Board has also
advocated for the full reconstruction of Fulton Street as part of the economic redevelopment of businesses along the Fulton Street corridor. Their most recent Statement of District Needs prioritizes the mitigation of congestion at the intersection of Nostrand Avenue
and Fulton Street, as well as the replacement of missing parking and street signs.

3. PRIMARY STUDY AREA
The primary study area focuses on the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Fulton Street. The following section describes existing conditions at the subway station, as well as the physical conditions of its
roadways, crosswalks, and sidewalks. Descriptions of physical conditions are followed by descriptions of traffic conditions.
In 1998, the Nostrand Avenue subway station had 3,488,601 turnstile registrations, making it the ninth
most used station in Brooklyn (of 160) and the 99th most used station citywide.

3.1 STATION ENTRANCES
There are four entrances to the Nostrand Avenue subway station, located on the four corners of the
intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Fulton Street. Each entrance is 15 feet long and six feet wide.
The two entrances to the north of Fulton Street face south, and serve commuters traveling to Manhattan. The two entrances to the south of Fulton Street face north, and serve commuters traveling to
Rockaway and Lefferts Boulevard. The entrance on the northwest corner of the intersection has been
observed to be the most congested, due to the adjacent southbound B44 bus stop.
3.2 STREETS ADJACENT TO THE STATION ENTRANCES
3.2.1 Roadways
Nostrand Avenue is 40 feet wide and has two southbound travel lanes. The street also accomodates
a parking lane on the west side and a truck loading/unloading on the east side where standing is
prohibited. Nostrand Avenue is designated as a local truck route, which leads to a through truck route
at Atlantic Avenue several blocks south. During peak hours, Nostrand Avenue handles a considerable
amount of rapidly moving traffic. Traffic on Nostrand Avenue is prohibited from turning onto Fulton
Street during peak hours. Metered parking exists on the west side of Nostrand Avenue, south of Fulton
Street.
Fulton Street is 42 feet wide and has one eastbound and one westbound lane, in addition to two
parking lanes on both sides. One hour parking is permitted at meters on the north side of Fulton Street
west of Nostrand between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM and east of Nostrand between 8:30 AM and 7:00 PM,
and also on the south side of Fulton Street west of Norstrand between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

3.2.2 Sidewalks
Sidewalks adjacent to the Nostrand Avenue subway station are 19 feet wide, with the exception of the
east and west sides of Nostrand Avenue between Fulton and Macon Streets, which are 15 and 16 feet
wide respectively.
Despite the generous width of the sidewalk, congestion is caused by the presence of street furniture
and vendors. In front of the McDonald’s on Fulton Street, a makeshift fence welded to two parking
meters functions as a bike rack. The only plants in the area exist in the square planters in front of the
McDonald’s. Further east on Fulton Street, there are also several oversized planters, four feet in
diameter that are full of concrete and litter. In addition to vendors protruding from retail establishments
at the property line, a number of vendors gather daily at the curb line, selling merchandise. These
vendors further constrict the pedestrian passageway, and cause conflicts with pedestrians, particularly on the south side of Fulton Street to the west of Nostrand Avenue.

Crosswalk at the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Fulton Street
3.2.3. Crosswalks
Standard pedestrian crosswalks exist at all four crossing points of the intersection of Nostrand Avenue
and Fulton Street, however, there are no vehicular stop bars. While the two crosswalks traversing
Nostrand Avenue are each 16 feet wide, the two crosswalks that traverse Fulton Street are 22 and 14
feet wide, due to the skewed angle of the intersection. The crosswalks are partially obstructed by the
placement of lighting and signage at the northeast, northwest, and southwest corners of the intersection. The single curb cut at the northeast corner directs the pedestrian into “the box,” rather than into
the eastern crosswalk. The most outstanding feature of this intersection is not the crosswalk, but “the
box” itself, which is prominently crosshatched, and surrounded by signage reading, “Don’t Block the
Box.”
3.2.4 Lighting
The streets and sidewalks of both Nostrand Avenue and Fulton Street are illuminated with standard
Cobra Head lighting affixed to fabricated steel lampposts. Some of the lampposts are of a pedestrian
scale height.

3.3 TRAFFIC
Automotive traffic passes quickly through the intersection
of Nostrand Avenue and Fulton Street, particularly on
Nostrand Avenue. From 1996 to 1998, inclusive, 96 motor vehicle accidents occurred at this intersection. Another 41 accidents occurred in the mid-block area of Fulton Street between Nostrand Avenue and Arlington Place;
19 occurred in the mid-block area of Fulton Street between
Nostrand Avenue and Verona Place. Fourteen (14) accidents occurred in the mid-block area of Nostrand Avenue
between Fulton and Macon Streets; another ten occurred
between Fulton and Herkimer Streets. Traffic on Nostrand
Avenue, a designated local truck route, is prohibited from
turning onto Fulton Street during peak hours.

3.3.2 Bus
The Nostrand Avenue subway station is directly served by the B44 and B25 bus lines. The B44 runs
southbound along Nostrand Avenue, and westbound along Fulton Street between New York and Bedford Avenues.
Bus shelters located on the east and west sides of Fulton Street service the B44 and the B25. The
stop for the southbound B44 is located directly behind the subway stairs at the intersection of Nostrand
Avenue and Fulton Street. During peak hours, one lane of traffic is effectively shut down due to the
queueing of B44 buses at the Nostrand Avenue stop. This bus stop has been observed to be the site of
frequent conflicts between commuters using the subway entrance, and those waiting for buses.

However, many obstructions impede pedestrian movement, particularly on Fulton Street, where vendors compete with street furniture for the pedestrian space. Pedestrian circulation at the northeast, northwest and
southwest corners of the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Fulton Street is obstructed by the placement
of lighting and signage adjacent to the crosswalks. The
proximity of the B44 bus stop to the subway station
entrance near the northwest corner of the intersection
contributes to this congestion. On the south side of
Fulton Street, west of Nostrand Avenue, the pedestrian
passageway becomes even more constricted by the
presence of vendors, both attached and unattached to
retail establishments. During peak hours, a market
atmosphere is created by vendors selling merchandise adjacent to the curbs.
