Accommodating more traffic and parking without increasing pavement was just one of the many challenges of providing traffic upgrades for four National Park Service urban land-restricted properties in two New York City boroughs (Floyd Bennett Field, Jacob Riis Park, Riis Landing, and Pennsylvania and Fountain Avenues). Each site had its own constraints, levels of access, circulation, and visitor use, as well as environmental and cultural resources.

The Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) conducted transportation studies that detailed several conceptual options for each of the four sites. Once alternatives had been selected, EFLHD analyzed them in greater depth to complete a development concept plan/environmental assessment/assessment of effect. Replacing old parking lots, negotiating use of lots on other properties, and developing shuttle services were among the many solutions. EFLHD worked closely with federal, state and local agencies, a variety of adjacent land owners for each site, and the public.
