Reminder: Mayor To Hold Transportation Information Session

Mayor Dawn Zimmer and Transportation and Parking Director Ian Sacs will hold a community meeting tonight at 6 p.m. at the Multi-Service Center, to talk about the process of improving safety along Newark Street.

The City of Hoboken has $240,000 in federal funding for improving safety along Newark Street between River Street and Washington Street. The funding, which was secured by Senator Robert Menendez, was awarded in 2009, and due to the time-sensitive nature of the funds, community input is critical to moving forward with the project.

Additional public meetings are also scheduled to discuss other projects.

On  Tuesday, August 3 at 4:30 p.m., Zimmer and Sacs, and consultants from The RBA Group will host a "Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan Public Visioning Meeting."

On Tuesday, August 17 at 6 p.m., Zimmer and Sacs will host an "Observer Highway Safety Re-Design Community Workshop."

The administration encourages everyone to attend.

"Community feedback is critical to the success of these projects," Zimmer said in a statement.
