VanVorst should be one way going north. Warren goes south.

Better to take one side of parking out as ways to get in /out Paulus hook limited

The Traffic Engineering Division is coordinating with Councilman Solomon's office on this matter. The Councilman will be reaching out to the community and the neighborhood associations to determine if there is strong support for converting Van Vorst St into a one-way street.

Please advise Councilman's office to contact Fulton's Landing Condominium Association representing 101 unit owners in Paulus Hook as he starts reaching out. Van Vorst St is our only way out of the building due to the traffic pattern in the area.

The traffic issues on this street has always been an issue for us since the building was built in 2005, but it has become even more unbearable since the are got further built in the recent years. The solution may require a wider change to the traffic pattern in this corner of Paulus Hook involving multiple streets for optimization. Thank you...

Update?

I'm a resident as well and had posted a similar item. The councilman's office followed up with me on that request with results of the traffic study and I believe it's scheduled for public discussion during the April 2023 meeting of HPHA. I couldn't find the upcoming agenda in my email to confirm so reach out to them directly for details: https://www.paulushook.org/.

Here's the details from the HPHA (as of 3/9/2023):
Thursday April 6 | 7:30PM at PS16, 98 Sussex Street at Washington St. Traffic pattern changes coming to Van Vorst Street between Grand and Sussex. Join our guest, Michael Manzella, JC Traffic Planning Engineer for a discussion at our regular HPHA meeting, first Thursday of every month.

An ordinance was adopted to prohibit parking on the west side of Van Vorst Street between Grand Street and Sussex Street. Signs were installed in May 2023.
