Housing Diversity and Affordability in New
HOUSING DIVERSITY AND AFFORDABILITY IN NEW JERSEY’S TRANSIT VILLAGES By Dorothy Morallos Mabel Smith Honors Thesis Douglass College Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey April 11, 2006 Written under the direction of Professor Jan S. Wells Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy ABSTRACT New Jersey’s Transit Village Initiative is a major policy initiative, administered by the New Jersey Department of Transportation that promotes the concept of transit oriented development (TOD) by revitalizing communities and promoting residential and commercial growth around transit centers. Several studies have been done on TODs, but little research has been conducted on the effects it has on housing diversity and affordability within transit areas. This research will therefore evaluate the affordable housing situation in relation to TODs in within a statewide context through the New Jersey Transit Village Initiative. Data on the affordable housing stock of 16 New Jersey Transit Villages were gathered for this research. Using Geographic Information Systems Software (GIS), the locations of these affordable housing sites were mapped and plotted over existing pedestrian shed maps of each Transit Village. Evaluations of each designated Transit Village’s efforts to encourage or incorporate inclusionary housing were based on the location and availability of affordable developments, as well as the demographic character of each participating municipality. Overall, findings showed that affordable housing remains low amongst all the designated villages. However, new rules set forth by the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) may soon change these results and the overall affordable housing stock within the whole state. -
Passaic River Walk, Station-To-Station

Exploring the river in its entirety is nearly impossible on foot Train Station because only small sections have accessible parks or trail systems. A pedestrian must be ready Take a right here and for a journey that offers only occasional glimpses of the river, usually from bridge crossings, then shortly another right onto while moving through the neighborhoods that line its banks. This walk visits three majestic West Broadway and over the Passaic and moving places contained in a single day of walking: the Great Falls, the city of River. After passing Memorial Drive, turn left Paterson, and a precolonial stone weir. onto Broadway, and after one mile turn left onto Madison Avenue.

After about a mile, at Fourth Washington Street, and in the distance you can see the start of the mill district Avenue, turn right and walk down the hill toward the Home Depot. -
Process for Congestion Relief Link and Project Priority Ranking for CIS FY 1322
Process for Congestion Relief Link and Project Priority Ranking for CIS FY 1322 Congestion Management System (CMS) congestion link priority rankings were developed for all the links in the CMS. These link rankings serve two purposes. First is to rank the links so that priority can be established by location so that the highest priority congested locations can be identified. Second, for highway projects that have already been identified, they can be prioritized for congestion. The link rankings were developed using scores from “0” to “10” for each measure and the weighted by the percent for each measure to obtain a 100% score. A score of “10” was given for the highest priority values for each given measure used. The Congestion Relief priority rankings are primarily based on congestion performance measures, with consideration also given to related roadway usage characteristics. Congestion performance measures include volume to capacity (V/C) ratios and delays. Roadway usage characteristics include AADT traffic volumes, function class and strategic network. The congestion performance measures comprise 70% of the ranking while the roadway usage characteristics comprise the remaining 30%. As V/C ratios have been the most common performance measure used for congestion priority rankings, the V/C ratio scores were given 40% of the overall weight for the overall score, split evenly between AM and PM V/C ratios. The highest one‐way AM V/C was given 20% of the overall weight, while the highest one‐way PM V/C was also given 20% of the overall weight. Delays were given 30% of the overall weight, split by two types of delays. -

Phase 5: Thinkfang
Frank Edward Nora Thinkfang THINKFANG by Frank Edward Nora The First Edition was published in 2003 and was called Duskaway Parking . This Second Edition is being published on August 12, 2009 and was renamed Thinkfang . Published by Frank Edward Nora New Jersey, USA onsug.com • [email protected] Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ INTRODUCTION (FROM THE FIRST EDITION) Duskaway Parking is composed of 1,103 little numbered poems called “Superiors”. I wrote these over the course of 11 years, from late February 1992 to late February 2003. The Superiors originally appeared in my weekly ezine, “OsoaWeek”, which I published on my website. The Superiors began as poetry, but over time began to include other themes. Some of them are brief essays. Others are like diary entries. And some are like little science fiction stories. They are full of beauty and ugliness, focus and blur, just like life. The best of them still amaze me, and the worst make me cringe and shake my head. But all of them are here, in this book, in their original form. One aspect of Superior that has confused some people is all the made-up words and names and places. These are straight from my hyperactive creative mind, and in many instances I feel they convey ideas and images and atmospheres better than any real words. And keep in mind the science fiction aspect, with all sorts of mysterious characters, locales, and powers. And also keep in mind that there are references to real, but obscure, things as well, which does tend to muddle things a bit.. -
