Dear neighbor,

A few updates to share with all of you.

At this Wednesday’s Council Meeting we will be discussing a contract for Brightview Engineering to design and engineer traffic flow improvements between Henderson and Jackson Street. We all know at times exiting and entering Hoboken can be a daunting task. We hope these potential improvements that Brightview suggests will help alleviate some of the current issues we are experiencing.

Our negotiations with Academy for Block 10 to expand SW Park are ongoing. Proposals and counter proposals have been made by both sides. We were hoping to have this issue resolved already but the conversations have been productive and we are hoping to come to a resolution in the near future.

Jersey City is gathering information for their Jersey Avenue Redevelopment Plan. There is a second meeting this Wednesday night at 630 pm.  Please see information below for the details to join and how to share your thoughts on their plan.

This plan will have a direct impact on not only SW Hoboken, but all of Hoboken. I have been in contact with Mayor Fulop and the Jersey City Planning Department so we can better coordinate our efforts along our borders, specifically on how we can mitigate any traffic impacts.

In the winter of 2020 the Hoboken Housing Authority created a non-profit called Housing for Hoboken. The goal of the non-profit is to help the HHA plan, finance and reinvigorate all Hoboken Housing Authority properties. The Hoboken Housing Authority recently hired a planner and the hope is they will have plan that will shape HHA’s future by this summer. Many if not all the HHA structures are outdated and even more importantly, unhealthy for our residents. We will create new housing without displacing any HHA residents.

Public Meeting will be held on March 10, 2021 at 6:30 to discuss the future of PSE&G site located at 2nd & Harrison. Meeting was originally scheduled for February 24th but the administration requested more time to prepare for meeting. There have been absolutely no decisions made as to what the future of this site holds. This is a blank canvas with the ultimate goal being to revitalize the area and have a positive impact on the neighborhood.
