During the 19th century, Jersey City played an integral role in the Underground Railroad. Four routes through New Jersey converged in the city. The City of Jersey City is located in the central portion of Hudson County, between the Hackensack River and Newark Bay to the west, and the Hudson River and Upper New York Bay to the east. It is the largest city in Hudson County, in terms of population and geographic size (14.79 square miles). The City has 21.7 miles of waterfront along the rivers and bays. The City is bordered to the north by the Town of Secaucus, The Township of North Bergen, the City of Union City, and the City of Hoboken, to the south by the City of Bayonne, to the east by the Hudson River and Upper Bay, and to the west by Hackensack River, Newark Bay and the Town of Kearny. 9.7-1 SECTION 9.7. CITYPage OF 5 JERSEYof 76 CITY Hudson County Hazard Mitigation Plan April 2020 The City is governed by a Mayor and City Council made up of nine members: one council member for each of the City’s six wards, plus three at-large council members who represent the entire City. This governing body will be responsible for the adoption and implementation of this plan. According to the U.S. Census, the 2010 population for the City of Jersey City was 247,597. The estimated 2017 population was 265,932, a 7.4 percent increase from the 2010 Census. Data from the 2017 U.S. Census American Community Survey indicate that 7.7 percent of the population is 5 years of age or younger and 10.1 percent is 65 years of age or older. Communities must deploy a support system that enables all populations to safely reach shelters or to quickly evacuate a hazard area. 9.7.3 GROWTH/DEVELOPMENT TRENDS Understanding how past, current, and projected development patterns have or are likely to increase or decrease risk in hazard areas is a key component to understanding a jurisdiction’s overall risk to its hazards of concern. Table 9.7-2 summarizes recent and expected future development trends. Refer to Table 9.7-20 through Table 9.7-23 for details regarding major residential/commercial development and major infrastructure development. Refer to Figure 9.7-1 and 9.7-2 at the end of this annex which illustrate the geographically-delineated hazard areas and the location of potential new development, where available. Table 9.7-2.

  • APPENDIX A. Supplementary Tables
    APPENDIX A. Supplementary Tables Jersey City - Environmental Resource Inventory A-1 Soil Types Table A.1. Soil Types Legend Soil classification reflects the parent material that forms the soil, the soil family, and the slope of the landform. The following information will assist in the interpretation of the Soil Classification table. Capability Class Definition 1 Slight limitations that restrict their use. 2 Moderate limitations that restrict the choice of plants or that require moderate conservation practices 3 Very severe limitations that restrict the choice of plants or that require very careful management, or both. 8 Limitations that preclude commercial plant production and that restrict their use to recreational purposes, wildlife habitat, watershed, or esthetic purposes. In this Table, there are three types of Green Belt soil, each with a different slope range. Slopes are measured in degrees or as a percent; a 450 slope = 100% slope. Each Soil Name is associated with a unique Code. Land Capability Classes reflect the potential for agricultural uses; the higher the class number, the more restricted the potential uses are. The letter that follows the numeric code indicates the reason for restricted uses. For example, Green Belt Loam, 8 to 15 percent slope, is restricted because of the likelihood of erosion. Capability Subclass Definition e The main hazard is the risk of erosion unless close growing plant cover is maintained w Water in or on the soil interferes with plant growth or cultivation (in some soils the wetness can be partly corrected by artificial drainage) s Soil is limited mainly because it is shallow, droughty, or stony Available Water Capacity (AWC) indicates the amount of water available to plants.

  • Making Jersey City's Park System World Class
    MAKING JERSEY CITY’S PARK SYSTEM WORLD CLASS Jersey City has a very good park system, but it could be elite and truly world class. To take the next step up to that elite class will require boldness, creativity, and investment. By renovating existing parks, following through with the new parks that are in various stages of planning or development, completing the Hackensack and Hudson River walkways, and taking the audacious initiative to connect our waterfronts by a series of greenways will enrich the lives of our citizens and make Jersey City’s park system worthy of global attention. A Public Private Partnership for Nonstop Renovation Jersey City began the process of creating a parks master plan to rate the condition and then to renovate Jersey City’s 67 municipal parks a little over a decade ago. In 2008, after numerous public meetings and robust public input, a 10 year detailed plan to improve Jersey City’s park system was put in place that detailed every upgrade that every park needed and estimated the costs of these upgrades. Over the next several years, serious progress was seen. Ercel Webb Park in Ward F, Muhammad Ali and Bayview parks in Ward A, Hamilton Park in Ward E and Ward B’s Boyd McGuiness Park were all substantially improved under the plan. However, the City simply abandoned the plan shortly after Mayor Fulop took office, as he focused his attention, the City’s resources and public relations on just a couple of park improvements. Consequently, parks such as Pershing Field in the Heights have been left to deteriorate and plans to improve it have been shelved.

Based on the Section 4(f) Evaluation, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) determined that the proposed Project would result in the use of the Old Main Delaware, Lackawanna and Western (DL&W) Railroad Historic District, which is a Section 4(f) property. This chapter discusses the identification of Section 4(f) properties within the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the proposed Project, describes the effect of the proposed Project on those properties, and summarizes measures to minimize harm included as part of the proposed Project. A.2 REGULATORY CONTEXT AND METHODOLOGY Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act of 1966, as amended (23 C.F.R. Part § 774-codified in 49 U.S.C. 303 and generally referred to as “Section 4(f))” prohibits the Secretary of Transportation from approving any program or project that requires the “use” of: (1) any publicly-owned parkland, recreation area, or wildlife/waterfowl refuge of national, state, or local significance; or (2) any land from a historic site of national, state, or local significance (collectively, “Section 4(f) properties”), unless there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of such land and such program and the project includes all possible planning to minimize harm to the park, recreation area, wildlife/waterfowl refuge, or historic site.
