Scope Of Work

The City of Jersey City is requesting FY2020 Safe Streets to Transit grant funding for improvements on Fairmount Avenue between Summit Avenue and Bergen Avenue. This corridor is a highly traveled route to NJ Transit Bus (Routes 6 and 87) for a large number of daily commuters. The roadways within the project limits currently prioritize vehicular travel, resulting in unsafe and dangerous conditions for pedestrians seeking to access the five bus stops along the corridor.

The scope of work includes:

- intersection safety improvements: Redesign intersection at Fairmount Avenue, Storms Avenue, and Summit Avenue, including the restriping of crosswalks and installation of curb extensions. This work is a precursor to eventually closing Storms Avenue to vehicle traffic between Summit Avenue and Fairmount Avenue to create a community park area that enhances the pedestrian experience accessing transit in the neighborhood.

- Sidewalk widening and repair: Repair sidewalks (1,800 linear feet) along FairmountAvenue from Bergen Avenue to Summit Avenue at prevailing sidewalk width or minimum 5' clear.

- Sidewalk construction: Construct new sidewalk at locations where sidewalk is either missing or in disrepair.

— Truncated dome pavers: Install truncated dome pavers on the approaches to large driveways at surface parking lots (7 driveways total).

- Pedestrian scale lighting: Install lightingalong entire length Fairmount Avenue between SummitAvenue and Bergen Avenue.

This Safe Streets to Transit project is being proposed to create safer conditions for pedestrian travel to and from transit stops within the McGinley Square neighborhood of Jersey City. This neighborhood is replete with local businesses, houses of worship, schools, and community centers, all of which results in high pedestrian traffic. The area is also a rapidly growing and increasingly popular destination for renters, anchored by the redevelopment of the former Jersey City Medical Center into the mixed—use, 1,200—unitBeacon Apartment Complex.

A plurality of McGinley Square's residents rely on non—vehicularforms of transportation: according to the United States Census Bureau’s 2015 American Community Survey, 43.8% of households in the McGinley Square neighborhood do not own or have access to a personal vehicle, and 44.7% of households utilize public transit to travel to and from work. As the closest PATH station () and closest Hudson—Bergen Light Rail stop (Gar?eld Avenue) are both over a mile away from the project area, the community is heavily dependent on NJ Transit Bus routes to commute to work, school, and other destinations. The City therefore designed the proposed improvements to create safer pedestrian routes to these bus stops for the approximately 6,500 neighborhood residents who utilize‘public transit every day, as well as those travelling to and from McGinley Square for work and recreation.

This project alignswith and advances both the City's “Vision Zero” initiative, which seeks to eliminate traf?c fatalities in Jersey City by 2026, and recommendations made in recent plans to promote sustainable transportation citywide. The City's Vision Zero Task Force—which includes representatives from the Division FY 2020 NJDOT SAFE STREETS TO TRANSIT Fairmounl Avenue from Burg-an Avenue In Summit Avenue ENGINEER‘S DESIGN ESTIMATE
