The following addendum was developed in partnership with an advisory committee of 25 stakeholders from engineering, design, planning, and community development, and aims to guide practitioners who are using WEDG to inform waterfront projects, policy, and community visionings in the Camden region. Source: New Jersey Future Source: New Jersey Economic Development Authority Introduction Situated between the Delaware and Cooper Rivers and adjacent to Philadelphia, Camden has a rich water- front history. In the last several decades, Camden’s waterfront has been redefined by community priori- ties for enhanced educational and research opportunities, waterfront access and parks, and affordable housing. Amidst this reinvestment in Camden’s waterfronts, the Camden region is facing increased risks of flooding from storms like Hurricane Sandy and Irene. The following provides guidance for waterfront design professionals, as well as community leaders and public agencies, to ensure that the future of Cam- den’s waterfronts meet the highest standard for resilience, ecology, and access. This document should be used in concert with the WEDG manual, a voluntary rating system and set of guidelines developed by a cross-cutting field of experts to shift the market towards more resilient, ecologically-sound, and accessi- ble waterfront design. 2 WATERFRONT EDGE DESIGN GUIDELINES: CAMDEN ADDENDUM Local Context for Applying WEDG Best Practices in Camden This document provides guidance for designers, planners, developers, and engineers, as well as commu- nity leaders and public agencies, to ensure that the future of Camden’s waterfronts meet the highest stan- dard for resilience, ecology, and access. 0.2: Assess site-wide social and ecological context and vulnerabilities Project leads should develop multi-disciplinary teams (as described in Credit 0.1) to conduct a site-wide analysis of the environmental, social, and economic factors which affect the site. The following should be considered in conjunction with Credit 0.2 and Appendix A of WEDG. a) Local Laws The following references provide planning and environmental context for project teams to assess in the earliest phases of design. WEDG requires a multi-disciplinary project team (at minimum one of each: engineer, architect, and environmental professional) to conduct a series of initial assessments for understanding the social, environmental, and climatic context of the site. i) Planning and zoning1 a) FutureCAMDEN (2002 Masterplan) and 2018 Reexamination/Amendment Report can inform the city’s priorities for waterfront development and sustainability. b) Article XIX – XX of the zoning text provides requirements for Waterfront Zones. c) Article XXII – XXIII of the zoning text provides requirements for Conservation Overlay Zones. d) Ord. No. MC-3690 (Greenway Conservation Overlay Zone requirements). ii) Environmental regulations a) (State) New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Coastal Areas permits will be required for in-water and waterfront projects. b) (State) New Jersey Stormwater Management Rules should be referred to to understand specifications for green infrastructure and other stormwater design components. Note that WEDG requires an analysis of climate change impacts on precipitation patterns. For more information see the “Methods” section of Appendix A in the WEDG Manual. c) (City) Ord. No. MC-4879 (Sustainability Ordinance) requires applicants for new development or modifications to existing development to complete an Environmental Impacts and Benefits Analysis, which documents all potential environmental ramifications of the project. The goal of the ordinance is to provide the Camden City Planning Board with an additional layer of information upon which to review a potential project. 1WEDG does not supplant zoning. These references highlight local planning frameworks and regulations within the city of Camden which provide a basis for assessing the site context for this credit. WATERFRONT EDGE DESIGN GUIDELINES: CAMDEN ADDENDUM 3 c) Opportunities for Partnership i) Resources to inform best practices for the following assessment methods from Appendix A: Risk and Vulnerability to Sea Level Rise and Storm Surge; Stormwater Quality; and Water Use and Wastewater Management. a) Camden Collaborative Initiative/ Camden SMART (Stormwater Management and Resource Training) provides resources for stormwater management policy and development, as well as green infrastructure training programs. 1) Key partners: City of Camden, Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority, Cooper’s Ferry Partnership, Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program, New Jersey Tree Foundation, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. See also, Preliminary Opportunities Analysis for areas vulnerable to flooding. ii) Relating to Employment Opportunities and stormwater assessments: a) PowerCorps is an AmeriCorps youth workforce development program that plays a key role in maintaining Camden’s green infrastructure installations including rain gardens, city and county parks, vacant lots, and stormwater inlets. 1) Key partners: Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority (CCMUA) and City of Camden. d) Additional Resources: Econsult. January 2019 i) The Positive Impacts of Investments in Camden, New Jersey, Social Determinants of Health. 0.3: Develop and implement an equitable plan for community engagement WEDG requires projects to respond to the complex social and economic conditions at play in waterfront communities by soliciting input from diverse stakeholders in the design and management of the project. Successful projects develop equitable community engagement plans informed by existing city-led and community-driven priorities and seek diverse input as early as possible in the process. a) Additional Resources i) Green + Healthy Camden Decision Support Tool: Provides GIS data on riverine flooding and other planning, decision making, and park creation support to drive equitable green infrastructure implementation across Camden, with a focus on schools and public spaces. 1) Key Partners: The Trust for Public Land. b) Precedents Case Study: Newark Riverfront Park Source: Newark Riverfront Park Overview Located on the Passaic River, Newark Riverfront Park is the result of decades of environmental justice activism and public-private collaboration to restore Newark’s neglected waterfront into a sustainable, accessible, and resilient public park. In 2008, the City of Newark launched Newark Riverfront 4 WATERFRONT EDGE DESIGN GUIDELINES: CAMDEN ADDENDUM Revival, an initiative of the Department of Economic Housing & Development, to revive the waterfront and ensure that the benefits of new development served its residents. Aspart of this effort, the City and Essex County partnered with the Trust for Public Land, Ironbound Community Corporation, Friends of Riverfront Park, and Newark Community Economic Development Corporation to build from community visions to create a fifteen-acre, waterfront park (source: City of Newark). Project Team • Essex County, the City of Newark, The Trust for Public Land, Ironbound Community Corporation, Friends of Riverfront Park, Newark Community Economic Development Corporation (NCEDC), Trust for Public Land, James Corner Field Operations. Strategies Used • Identified key community stakeholders early in the process to help facilitate outreach and solicit diverse input on the design and management of the project. • Aligned with broader city goals and initiatives to serve Newark residents. • Managed barriers for diverse participation by creating fun and engaging opportunities for Newark residents to provide input, such as walking tours, boat tours, exhibitions, school presentations, and more. • Used public health and community needs data to inform the design, from providing much needed green and open space, to creating greenway connectivity for active and sustainable transportation (also relates to Credits 2.1 and 2.6). • Provides robust waterfront programming, including kayaking lessons and boat tours, as well as arts and cultural programming (also relates

    Proposed Bridge Toll and PATCO Fare Schedules

    Proposed Bridge Toll and PATCO Fare Schedules July 2008 Dear DRPA and PATCO Customers: Thank you for your interest in the Delaware River Port Authority and Port Authority Transit Corporation. We appreciate the opportunity to present to you the proposed changes to the toll and fare structures. For the last several years, we have committed to cost-savings measures that have enabled us to operate without changes to our toll or fare structures. However, we now face a very challenging time as our future needs will require us to find additional revenue sources to fund our Capital Program which is critical to maintaining the safety, security and serviceability of our assets. We are confident that with the feedback received from you, our customers, we will be able to propose a plan to our Board of Commissioners that will enable us to face the challenges that lie ahead. We value your opinion and look forward to your comments and suggestions. Yours truly, John J. Matheussen Chief Executive Officer, Delaware River Port Authority President, Port Authority Transit Corporation The Delaware River Port Authority The Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is a regional transportation agency. DRPA’s lines of business, collectively called “the Authority,” operate under the motto “We Keep the Region Moving.” DRPA traces its roots back to 1919 when leaders from the two states began planning for a bridge across the Delaware River. That bridge, now known as the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, was once the longest suspension bridge in the world. Today, more than 80 years after its opening, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge remains a key transportation artery and a regional landmark.

    The Positive Impacts of Investments in Camden, NJ on Social Determinants of Health January 2019 The Positive Impacts of Investments in Camden, NJ on Social Determinants of Health Submitted to Report Submitted to: Hon. Dana L. Redd Rowan University/Rutgers- Camden Board of Governors 200 Federal Street, Suite 300 Camden, NJ 08013 January 9, 2019 2 FOREWARD Camden is the City where I raised my family, my three children went to school, and I worked my way through Rutgers Law School employed as a night watchman at Woodrow Wilson High School. It is the City I represented as a State Legislator, in the U.S. Congress and the State House as Governor. I have an almost religious feeling for the City and its people. You can, therefore, understand my appreciation for the wonderful information contained in the study about Camden’s resurrection. The road back from its tough times to its current revitalization is the ultimate morality play. Confident people of good faith collaborating in applying their intellect and common sense have demonstrated impressive results in their efforts to restore the City to greatness. Proceeding from the fundamental observation that the most basic right of all is the right to be safe and secure, City officials worked with County officials to successfully reorganize public safety. From there, they systematically addressed concern after concern: education, transportation, employment, infrastructure, housing and healthcare in a manner that was intelligent and efficient. Social sensitivity, collaboration and the greater good of the community were constant procedural guideposts. There is a real-world awareness that everything is connected; the public sector, the private sector and non-profit and academic communities.

Soon, however, she’ll be able to take in a different view of the same skyline — from across the Delaware River in Camden. The new facility, the Sixers say, will be the biggest and best in the NBA. The complex between the BB&T Center concert venue and Adventure Aquarium will be, essentially, a “bubble” for players to train, practice, watch video, receive various kinds of physical therapy, even take meals. A recent tour of the site by two Courier-Post reporters and a photographer found a busy construction site, with workers moving through steel framing and boxed piles of building materials.
