Hoboken anuncia el diseño final de Sinatra Drive y las actualizaciones de Vision Zero

Mayor Ravi Bhalla and the City of Hoboken today announced the final concept design of the Sinatra Drive Redesign Project, which will improve access and safety along the 0.7-mile waterfront corridor utilizing green infrastructure and Vision Zero upgrades.

The final concept includes a two-way protected bikeway from Fourth Street to Sinatra Drive North, safer pedestrian crossings, 164 trees planted, and additional parking near the residential areas at the northern and southern ends of the project.

“This project is the latest way we are prioritizing major upgrades to our waterfront. Not only will Sinatra Drive soon include substantial Vision Zero improvements for pedestrians, bicycle riders and drivers, but it will also beautify our main waterfront boulevard with green infrastructure and new street trees,” said Mayor Bhalla. “Thank you to the many residents and community stakeholders who provided their input to help shape the final design. I look forward to breaking ground soon on these infrastructure upgrades.”

Construction on the Sinatra Drive upgrades will begin, following approvals from the New Jersey Department of Transportation and the federal government. During construction, the project team will resurface Sinatra Drive, Fifth Street between River Terrace and Sinatra Drive, and Fourth Street between River Street and Sinatra Drive and install:

• Una pista de bicicleta protegida de dos vías de 12″ de ancho en Sinatra Drive que conecta vías de bicicleta a lo largo de las áreas de South Waterfront y North Waterfront
• 14 cruces peatonales de alta visibilidad
• Cinco cruces elevados para mejorar la visibilidad y reducir la velocidad del vehículo
• 13 faros rectangulares de flash rápido (RRFB) para mejorar la visibilidad
• Accesorios ampliados
• Ocho extensiones pintadas de la acera
• Cinco extensiones de acero
• Dos extensiones de bordes con infraestructura verde
• Tres señales de retroalimentación de la velocidad del conductor
• 20 rampas de acoplamiento de la ADA
• Dos plazas de estacionamiento adicionales destinadas a las personas con discapacidad
• Aparcamiento para bicicletas
• Indicación de camino para bicicletas
• Nuevo alumbrado

The City and project team created the final concept design utilizing public feedback following two online surveys, two public meetings, and several meetings with local stakeholders. This input indicated that the top five priorities for the redesign of Sinatra Drive were installing green landscaping along the corridor, ensuring safe bicycle circulation, improving the streetscape and adding street furniture, improving the safety of pedestrian crossings, and calming traffic on Sinatra Drive.

The redesign of Sinatra Drive is funded in part by $1.2 million in grant funding from the New Jersey Department of Transportation and $1.8 million in funding from the federal government.
