POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SITES
• Vacant land, parking lots, and areas near subway stations are often tapped first for new construction
![Page 21: Bushwick Existing Conditions Presentation, October 14, 2014](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c8c84fbb61eb4b718b45af/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
AREAS OF FOCUS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT

TRANSPORTATION ACCESS
• Bushwick is well served by subway access when rating on a ¼ mile basis – a distance equivalent to 5 blocks from a subway station entrance. Numerous city bus routes cover most areas not conveniently located near subways.
• The neighborhood is underserved in its number of bike lanes.

SUMMARY
Strong manufacturing sector in neighborhing industrial areas. New development is threatening displacement of this sector and local jobs.
Culturally vibrant and diverse community, but recent influx of higher income individuals is threatening neighborhood affordability for long-time residents.
Most of study area is in walking distance to some kind of open space, however quality, including safety and sanitation, of these spaces need to be addressed.
Diverse retail and commercial activity, but rising commercial rents threaten to displace small businesses.
Current zoning is not reflective of the diverse uses and physical character of the neighborhood.
Changes in unit size are diminishing the availability of housing for families.
![Page 31: Bushwick Existing Conditions Presentation, October 14, 2014](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032505/55c8c84fbb61eb4b718b45af/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
SUMMARY (CON’T)
Good transportation access present in most of the neighborhood.
Traffic safety is a concern, especially in major intersections.
A number of community facilities, but perhaps inadequate to meet neighborhood needs.
Good access to health facilities, but health is worse than city-wide numbers.
Mixed uses, beautiful architecture, and a very desirable place to live.
