  • A Vision for Smart Transit in Jersey City Application to Smart City Challenge
    CITY OF JERSEY CITY A Vision for Smart Transit in Jersey City Application to Smart City Challenge 2/4/2016 City of Jersey City Smart Cities Application Page 2 1. Define your vision for your Smart City. Describe your city’s challenges and how the proposed elements of this proposed project can be used to address those challenges. The vision should define your approach for implementing and operating the demonstration project, including your program management approach. Jersey City Challenges Unprecedented expansion Beginning in the late 1980s, Jersey City began a process of redevelopment which would reverse its decades-long decline and bring the City on a path to sustained growth. Development along the Hudson River waterfront led to the development of the “Wall Street West” financial district, one of the largest centers of banking and finance in the nation. This economic revitalization has accelerated in recent years. Jersey City is now set to become the most populous city in New Jersey within two years, and the second-most populous city in New York metropolitan area. Since 2000, the city has experienced a population growth of approximately 17,000 residents. Outdated infrastructure The City must deal with outdated infrastructure and governance dating from a prior era. Much of the City’s physical infrastructure, such as its sewers, roads, and traffic system, are relics from an older, industrial area. The City enjoys the second-highest rate of public transport utilization in the United States, and a street grid which emphasizes walkability. As the city and the region continue to grow, traffic congestion will become increasingly severe.

  • Open Space and Recreational Resources
    Chapter 8: Open Space and Recreational Resources 8.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the analysis the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ TRANSIT) conducted of the Hudson Tunnel Project’s potential effects on publicly accessible parks, open spaces, and recreational resources. For the purposes of this analysis, parks, open space, and recreational facilities include publicly or privately owned land that is publicly accessible for leisure, play, or sport, or serves to protect or enhance the natural environment. This chapter considers the effects to open space and recreational facilities that could occur during the construction of the Preferred Alternative and the permanent effects of the Preferred Alternative once construction is complete. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), in its role as Project Sponsor, has accepted and relied on the evaluations and conclusions of this chapter. Following completion of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the PANYNJ became the Project Sponsor for the Hudson Tunnel Project (see Chapter 1, “Purpose and Need,” Section 1.1.2, for more information). Consistent with the roles and responsibilities defined in Section 1.1.1 of Chapter 1, as the current Project Sponsor, the PANYNJ will comply with mitigation measures and commitments identified in the Record of Decision (ROD). This chapter reflects the following changes made since the DEIS for the Hudson Tunnel Project: • The chapter incorporates design modifications related to the permanent features of the Project (e.g., modifications to surface tracks and tunnel alignment) and changes to construction methods and staging. • The chapter is updated to describe current conditions in the affected environment and any related updates to the analysis of potential impacts, including the addition of new parks in the study area: Paterson Plank Road Park in North Bergen, New Jersey, and two open spaces in Manhattan, Bella Abzug Park and the Hudson Yards Public Square and Garden.

  • New Meadowlands Stadium Project Final Environmental Impact Statement 4-170
    New Meadowlands Stadium Project Final Environmental Impact Statement 4.15 Land Use and Zoning 4.15.1 Existing Conditions The existing and proposed land use and zoning patterns around the Project Area were identified through the review of the NJMC Master Plan (adopted in January 2004), the HMD Official Zoning Map, and recent aerial photographs. The land use and zoning discussion is presented below in the context of state, regional and local plans including the New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan, the NJMC Master Plan and the Meadowlands Sports Complex Master Plan. 4.15.1.1 Land Use The New Jersey State Development and Redevelopment Plan (State Plan), adopted in 2001, was developed to preserve and enhance the quality of life for all residents of New Jersey (New Jersey State Planning Commission, 2001). The State Plan provides a balance between growth and conservation by designating planning areas that share common conditions with regard to development and environmental features and serves as the underlying land use planning and management framework that directs funding, infrastructure improvements, and preservation for programs through New Jersey. The State Plan recognizes the statutory jurisdiction of the NJMC over the HMD and thus relies on the plans and regulations of the NJMC to implement the objectives of the State Plan. Nevertheless, the State Planning Commission has made efforts to cooperate and coordinate land use planning with the NJMC. The NJMC has developed a Master Plan to promote the careful balancing of environmental and economic development needs in the HMD (NJMC, 2004). As part of the Master Plan, the NJMC evaluated existing land uses in the HMD (Figure 4-27).
