Infrastructure

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority not only wants to replace the Newark Bay Bridge, but is also seeking to bring major changes to part of I-78 in Jersey City.

Two community associations have penned a letter opposing the 2,360-unit plan, while two other groups support the proposal due to affordable housing and public benefits that are included.

A massive effort that will update infrastructure, build green space, and provide flood relief to vulnerable areas of Hoboken, Weehawken, and Jersey City should take about four years to build out.

Still in the early conceptual phase, the massive project would transform one of downtown Jersey City's last remaining industrial sections. In order to build it, the developer is ready to provide huge givebacks to the community.

Plans are underway to create a statewide greenway connecting Jersey City with Phillipsburg along the former Morris Canal route. The North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority recently put out a request for proposals for consultant assistance to support development of the project.

A new plan designed to calm traffic and beautify the streetscape is in the works for one of Hoboken’s busiest streets, and it hopes to strike a balance that will make drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists all feel more at ease when traveling the corridor.

A notoriously unwieldy stretch of Downtown Jersey City will be getting new infrastructure, lighting, and streetscape improvements.

A long-stalled study related to an effort to replace two aging train tunnels to New York City has finally been released.

New Jersey's rail infrastructure needs some help. I say this with cautious optimism, but it looks like the powers that be may be realizing that too. In the coming weeks, the Federal Railroad Administration and New Jersey Transit will be holding two open house informational meetings on the proposed Hudson River rail tunnels.

The Sixth Street Embankment saga is over a decade old, but your support can make a difference in the property’s preservation and could help create a new green space network on other rail lines throughout the city.
