The City of Jersey City, in association with the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) and an external consultant team, will be conducting a year-long study to develop the Jersey City Parking Management Plan. The goal of this study is to catalog existing parking supply, determine parking demand by understanding the community-specific needs, and identify the most innovative strategies to manage parking for current and future development the Parking Management Plan will inform zoning regulations, help reduce traffic congestion generated by single-occupancy vehicles and align with the goals in the Circulation Element to limit land dedicated to parking uses near transit stations and encourage the use of public transit and active modes of transportation throughout the city.
We will be providing several opportunities for community engagement throughout the study, stay tuned for announcements of additional meetings.

Columbus Drive has been identfied as a priority pedestrian corridor. This study will evaluate roadway safety deficiencies and develop “Complete Streets” concepts with the goal of improving safety for pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders.
Marin Boulevard is a heavily trafficked, densely populated corridor through downtown Jersey City. This project will improve pedestrian safety and overall operations at seven intersections along Marin Boulevard, from Montgomery Street to Sixth Street.
The City is looking for public feedback on both projects, in order to make them safer and more efficient for all road users.

6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Where: Casa Colombo, 380 Monmouth St, Jersey City, NJ 07302
Ward E Councilman James Solomon will be meeting with the community on Monday evening to discuss proposed amendments to the Merseles Redevelopment Plan, which covers the large empty area from 2nd to 3rd Streets just east of Merseles, across from PS 5 and Mary Benson Park.
The developer is seeking to build beyond the limitations of the RDP, asking for extra height and density. The proposal is for 5 stories, 69 apartments and 45 parking spaces, which is 1 story and 22 apartments more than is currently allowed, and a parking ratio of .7 cars per apartment instead of 1 per apartment.
As a community benefit, the developer will make 3 apartments affordable housing, and will give $1.1 million to the JCRA to be used toward solving flooding issues at Mary Benson Park.
Because it is an RDP, any changes to the height, density and parking requirements have to be approved by the City Council.
Join The Village Neighborhood Association’s board and Councilman Solomon on Monday at Casa Colombo to let us know your thoughts or concerns, and to learn more about this plan.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
Please note: Our regularly scheduled monthly Community Meeting will be unchanged – Monday, June 10, 7:30PM-8:45PM at Casa Colombo.
