There is a proposal in Brooklyn to construct a new mid-rise apartment building on a vacant lot at the intersection of Avenue A a

nd 48th Street. The property is square, providing flexibility for the location of the building and an associated playground. The developer wishes to locate a small park and playground adjacent to the quietist street. The traffic volumes for Avenue A are: cars – 496; medium trucks – 52, heavy trucks – 19; and buses - 10. The traffic volumes for 48th Street are: cars – 822; medium trucks – 22, heavy trucks – 8; and buses - 3. Following his thinking, which street should the park be adjacent to? (3 points) Assuming the setbacks are the same, what is the difference in noise levels adjacent to the 2 streets? (4 points) Based upon people’s perceptions of noise differences, are the developer’s concerns valid? Why? (3 points)

Answer:

a. Park should be adjacent to 48th Street, b. Difference in noise level = 707dBa, c. Yes

Explanation:

Data given for Avenue A

Cars = 496, Medium Truck = 52, Heavy Truck = 19, Buses = 10

Data given for 48th Street

Cars = 822, Medium Truck = 22, Heavy Truck = 8, Buses = 3

Consider the PCEs to be Cars = 1, Medium Truck = 13, Heavy Truck = 47, Buses = 18

a. Noise Level = Number of vehicles x PCE

For Avenue A

Noise level = (496 x 1) + (52 x 13) + (19 x 47) + (10 x 18) = 2245dBa

For 48th Street

Noise level = (822 x 1) + (22 x 13  + (8 x 47) + (3 x 18) = 1538dBa

The park should adjacent to 48th street as it is quieter than Avenue A

b. Let the Setback be 50ft. We know that the reduction of noise for 100ft = 5-8 dBa, hence

For Avenue A Noise Reduction due to 50 ft = (8/100) x 50 = 4dBa

Noise at Setback distance = 2245 - 4 = 2241dBa

Considering the same setback the noise at 48th street would be = 1538 - 4 = 1534 dBa

The difference is noise level between the two sides would be = 2241 - 1534 = 707 dBa

c. Yes the developer concerns are valid because there is a clear difference in noise levels of the two sites. This can be seen even after setting the same Setback. Locating the park next to Avenue A will cause serious noise problems.
