UnderstandingUnderstandingCommunity Concerns

and Priorities


Focus Group Feedback on NJ Transit Phase I ProposalsSome of the Focus Group Concerns We Heard

Urban Design• Concerns about planning process conducted in two stages (Phase I and Full site)• “Out of scale” development• Building Height Concerns about taller building vs medium scale massing recommended in the • Building Height – Concerns about taller building vs. medium scale massing recommended in the

Hoboken Master Plan• Concerns about building shadows on street• Not focused on pedestrians• Need to provide “open feeling” – entryway to the City• Need “Great architecture”• Retail on Hudson Place

Parking and Transportation • Concerns about additional traffic and parking• Concerns about additional traffic and parking• Bus depot is not attractive• Concerns about pedestrian safety• Need better integration of pedestrian and bicycle modes

Better Intermodal connections• Subway (PATH) + Heavy Rail + Light Rail + Bus + Ferry + Paratransit + Walking/Biking• Provide redundant interconnectivity and improved pedestrian and bicycle facilities

Rationalize bus terminal circulation and improve pedestrian connectivity from the platforms to • Rationalize bus terminal circulation and improve pedestrian connectivity from the platforms to connecting modes and surrounding areas

Pedestrian/bicyclist Oriented Design • Implement a complete streets designg• Encourage walking via wide sidewalks and generally improve the pedestrian experience • Create new bike lanes, bike storage/racks and shower facilities• Consider exclusive pedestrian pathways and bridges

Shared Parking + Car SharingShared Parking + Car Sharing• Shared parking between residential, retail and office components• Advocate a car share program throughout the development• Reduced minimum parking requirements
