STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Several projects along the same 2.7-mile stretch of Arthur Kill Road in Charleston could bring a host of new traffic to the two-way single-lane street.<\/p>\n
The Advance\/SILive.com recently identified four massive projects along Arthur Kill Road<\/a>, each within miles of each other and in different phases of completion. <\/p>\n If development progresses according to plan, Arthur Kill Road could soon be home to two major warehouses, a Department of Transportation construction management site and a 16-acre truck freight facility.<\/p>\n Two of these projects alone would bring over 468,000 square feet and nearly 90 loading bays dedicated to warehouse and distribution operations.<\/p>\n The others would also bring an increase in truck traffic to a road already choked by industry such as car storage, repair shops, towing companies, and salvage yards, among others.<\/p>\n \u201cArthur Kill Road is becoming a poster child for overdevelopment,\u201d Councilmember Frank Morano, a Republican who represents the South Shore, previously told the Advance\/SILive.com. \u201cThere is no real thought on infrastructure and a total lack of planning.\u201d<\/p>\n Current challenges <\/p>\n Video recently presented to Staten Island\u2019s Community Board 3, and later provided to the Advance\/SILive.com, attempts to show the current level of truck traffic and heavy industry that already lines Arthur Kill Road.<\/p>\n In the opening shot of the video, which the Advance\/SILive.com edited for time, an overhead shot from a drone shows some of the existing development near Arthur Kill Road and Winant Place.<\/p>\n The video then shows a tractor-trailer attempting to follow a winding curve in Arthur Kill Road, near Androvette Street, in front of where the truck freight facility would be built. <\/p>\n While navigating the curve, the truck is seen driving down the center of the narrow road, effectively occupying both travel lanes.<\/p>\n Other parts of the video show the current level of truck traffic along Arthur Kill Road, specifically near Winant Place.<\/p>\n In the clip, moving trucks and car haulers can be seen lining the narrow stretch of road, leaving local traffic to navigate down the center of the street to proceed. <\/p>\n The driver recording the footage has to move well into the center of the street to avoid the trucks stopped along the shoulder of the road. <\/p>\n The latest details<\/p>\n The first project, which is still under construction, will be located at 1 Nassau Place in Richmond Valley<\/a>. It would bring 331,700 square feet of warehouse space, 60 loading docks and two drive-in doors just south of the Outerbridge Crossing.<\/p>\n Another, which opened in September at 2807 Arthur Kill Rd.<\/a>, features 136,346 square feet of storage space and 29 loading docks along an already busy industrial corridor.<\/p>\n Right across the street from this project, the Department of Transportation is working to acquire approximately five acres of land to support its Sidewalk Inspections Management construction crews<\/a>.<\/p>\n This development would devote 81,000 square feet for storage space, which will house vehicles, trucks, equipment and materials. <\/p>\n Finally, a 16-acre parcel of land near Arthur Kill Road and Androvette Street in Charleston would be converted to a truck terminal to accommodate 184 tractor-trailers<\/a>. <\/p>\n (Editor\u2019s note: This story is part of series investigating the rapid industrial development of Arthur Kill Road.
