DSNY Background In 2007, DSNY vacated the E73rd Street Garage.  There is a contract of sale with Memorial Sloan Kettering.  

As part of that agreement, DSNY will receive ~$200M towards the construction of a new garage.

Sanitation serves CDs 6 and 8 from over‐capacity facilities in Manhattan CDs 4 and 12 and Bronx CD 1; trucks are forced to park on streets.

Equipment in MN CD12 CD 12 currently houses MN12, BX 7/8 and M8 Garages and W. 215th St salt shed.  M8 operations are partially in former incinerator with equipment mostly parked on W. 215th St.

M8 Equipment must travel 7 miles through traffic to reach the required service area.

Bx 7 & 8

Equipment in BX CD1 Street sweepers (mechanical brooms) must drive from Bronx  CD 1 through  the Manhattan East Side to clean Manhattan CD’s 3, 6, 8.

Increased travel time causes inefficiencies and wear and tear on equipment.

Equipment in MN CD4 Garage operations are located in leased space on W. 30th St; and W. 29th St.  Equipment is parked on 11th Ave,  W. 28th St and W. 29th St; close to Hudson Yard Development.

DSNY must relocate due to landlord’s plans for site and development within the Hudson Yards area;  no interim sites have been identified.

Trucks and salt spreaders must travel cross‐town to serve CD6, resulting in increased travel time and inefficiencies, particularly in snow emergencies.

Update on Proposed Facility 

E. 25th St View

The project received preliminary approval by the PDC October 20,2014. Located mid‐block between East 25th St. and former East 26th St. ~450,000 gross sf  (350,000 zoning sf). Four stories of truck storage. Overall roof height ranges from  120 to 136 ft.   Office space located on E. 25th St; opportunity for ground floor retail / community facility Safe for 500 year flood event. Building will be sealed on E. 25th St. side. Facility is designed to avoid noise impacts (none identified in EIS work thus far).

Primary entrance will be on Bellevue drive. Placing vehicle entrance 200 feet from corner of 1st Ave avoids traffic impacts. No salt will be stored at the facility.  Facility will include electric vehicle chargers, biodiesel and gasoline fuel storage.

Initial response – BFJ proposed Con Ed site alternative Significant challenges: Con Edison has no plans to sell the property, and generally prefers to maintain existing property rather than sell

City cannot condemn land from a utility No funding foracquisition oradditional Con Edison garage

Significant timerequired toacquire/redesignfacility; DSNYcurrently withoutneeded space

Initial response – BFJ proposed below‐grade alternative Significant challenges: Building code has been updated to require occupancies of emergency responders to be constructed flood safe: higher than the base flood elevation. 

Multi‐level underground storage of vehicles would require a costly “bathtub “ and ventilation snorkels through uses above.

DSNY truck storage requires a 24‐30 ft floor‐to‐floor height; not met here. Fails to accommodate both CD 6 and 8 equipment; E. 91st St MTS currently in CD8. Limits potential range of uses on bookend parcels.

City Priorities for Site Opportunity for affordable housing, life sciences/wet lab space, and/or community facility on bookend sites, particularly reexamining potential density

Bookend sites need to be self‐sustaining (internal cross‐subsidy) and compatible with DSNY garage

Understand specific local priorities for bookend sites to help shape program
