Hoboken to Hold Safety Meeting on Newark Street March 23rd

The latest from the City of Hoboken and its policy of getting public input before making decisions:

CITY TO HOLD COMMUNITY MEETING ON NEWARK STREET SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS

Transportation and Parking Director Ian Sacs will host a community meeting on Wednesday March 23 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Rue School gymnasium, 301 Garden Street, to involve residents in 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.

On July 19, 2010, the City held the first community meeting to get initial public input. Below is a word cloud highlighting the feedback from that meeting.
