The membership of Bike Hoboken is very excited to announce that we have begun the preliminary stages of securing NJDOT grant funding and a consultant (using that funding) to assist with the technical process of identifying and resolving pedestrian and bicycle safety concerns around town.  This effort will constitute the formalized process of preparing a pedestrian and bicycle master plan, which was discussed and deemed critical during our workshops last year.

Our plan is to work alongside the consultant so that the materials and output may serve as the “update” needed to these portions of the city’s master plan.  This study will also include traffic calming and “complete streets” focused analysis and recommendations, as well as follow-up fund/grant sources to assist the city in paying for recommended improvements.

We are thrilled to be spearheading this process, and are hoping to get active participation from the community in various forms.  If you are interested in assisting (meetings, organizational, precedence research, field observations, traffic counting, etc.), please let us know!
