Forests and farm fields are being developed. New houses and commercial buildings replace treasured landmarks. Favorite woods and streams are now someone's back yard. Traffic is increasing. Sprawl is everywhere around us. While we each have a personal vision of Monmouth County in the future, I believe that we are all united in the view of a permanent landscape that includes open space for recreational pursuits, protection of water resources, preservation of natural areas, and the improvement of our collective quality of life.

    STATE OF THE RARITAN REPORT Volume 2 May 2019 i This page intentionally left blank. ii State of the Raritan Report, Volume 2 Sustainable Raritan River Initiative Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901 http://raritan.rutgers.edu Production Team Julie Blum John Bognar Dr. Richard G. Lathrop Sara J. Malone Elizabeth Pyshnik Dr. Jennifer Whytlaw About the Sustainable Raritan River Initiative Rutgers University launched the Sustainable Raritan River Initiative (SRRI) in 2009 to convene scientists, engineers, business and community leaders, environmental advocates and governmental entities to craft an agenda for the restoration and preservation of New Jersey’s Raritan River, its tributaries and bay. A joint program of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, the SRRI partners with other Rutgers units (through the Rutgers Raritan River Consortium) and with stakeholders from across the Raritan region to ensure multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives and contributions. Participants share a commitment to science-informed policies for sustaining the ecological, economic and community assets attributable to the Raritan. The SRRI fosters university-based research and scholarship that is focused on the Raritan. This knowledge is then translated into practical educational programming and technical assistance to support regional planning, policy and business decision-making. We conduct conferences and topical workshops, provide technical assistance, and develop anchor projects that raise the profile of the Raritan River. The SRRI and our watershed partners recognize the importance of a regional approach to resolving the complex issues associated with the restoration and future protection of the Raritan River, its estuary and all its tributaries.

    6 IMPLEMENTATION n developing Plan 2035, the NJTPA took stock of the full range of the region’s transportation needs. As outlined in Chapter 4, these span a wide spectrum, Ifrom repair and maintenance of the network to addressing “hotspot” congestion to taking advantage of opportunities for transit expansion. In addition, the region must meet important goods movement, safety and bicycle/pedestrian needs. This chapter outlines how the NJTPA will invest limited transportation funding over the next 25 years to address these extensive and diverse needs. It also discusses policy and other initiatives the region and state should pursue in its efforts to im- prove the transportation system while dealing with population and job growth over the next 25 years. This chapter highlights just a few examples of the hundreds of projects and studies that are being conducted (or will be conducted) in the region. A complete picture of all the projects and initiatives called for by Plan 2035 is provided in the Project Index included at the back of this plan. These projects and initiatives make Plan 2035 calls for new and improved transit service throughout the region. Mor- ristown Station, Morris County.
