BFJ was retained by the City of Yonkers to complete an area master plan for the area around the Ludlow Metro-North Station. This area is primarily light industrial in nature, but it’s proximity to the Hudson River and access to public transportation create an opportunity for a mixed-use district that provides new housing while preserving existing jobs. The objective of this study was to identify uses and densities that are compatible with creating a transit-oriented district. Residential development, as well as new jobs, could be created around the train station to promote a more sustainable growth for the Ludlow neighborhood. The study also explored potential improvements at street level, such as enhancing walking and bicycling connections, beautifying the streetscape, and creating access to the waterfront. Working in coordination with the City of Yonkers and key stakeholders, BFJ evaluated existing zoning and developed recommended revisions to the zoning code that would encourage creation of a transit-oriented mixed-use district. Stakeholders included neighborhood groups, existing anchor businesses, and a developer who is in contract with the City on the key development site in the Ludlow area.
