Jersey City Transportation Plan Gets Kudos from Planning Group
By Jon Whiten • Nov 9th, 2009 • Category: Blog, News
The Jersey City Master Plan’s Circulation Element, a long-term multimodal transportation planning document, has been given the Outstanding Plan Award by the New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association.
The circulation element, which you can peruse here if you’re so inclined, is the product of two years of work by the city’s planning department, with help from outside consultants, a technical advisory committee and the general public, which was invited to several public meetings to discuss the long-term transportation plans. (For our report on one such meeting from earlier this year, click here.)
“The Planning Division and its entire staff should be lauded for a job well done,” Mayor Jerramiah Healy said in a statement. “It is essential that we continue to expand the capacity of our transportation system, particularly mass transit, in an effort to improve the quality of life of our residents.”
