Elysian Park Dog Run

The dog run at Elysian Park will be rehabilitated in Spring 2021. Improvements include excavation of the existing surface, installation of efficient drainage, masonry rehabilitation of the fountain, and installation of synthetic K9 turf with Envirofill. The dog run will remain closed until early June.

Lawn Maintenance in Parks

The City of Hoboken is implementing an organic lawn care program at Church Square Park and Elysian Park, in partnership with the Friends of Elysian Park and Friends of Church Square Park. The focus is on improving lawns by building soil health and increasing coverage of resilient grass species. Newly seeded lawn areas at Church Square Park, Elysian Park, and 7th & Jackson Park will remain fenced off for several weeks while the seed mix germinates and new grass begins to grow. Please obey park signage to stay out of newly seeded lawn areas.

Citi Bike Docking Station Installations

During the next several weeks, Lyft will continue to install bike share docking stations as part of the expansion of the Citi Bike program into Hoboken. When complete, the expansion will bring 29 docking stations, capable of parking 300 bikes, to Hoboken. For a map of installation progress visit https://arcg.is/f9nzH. Use the Citi Bike or Lyft apps for real-time bicycle and docking space availability. To learn more about the bike share program, visit http://www.hobokennj.gov/resources/bike-share.

Rebuild by Design Hudson River Project – Sewer System Modification (SSM)

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is beginning the construction phase for the Rebuild By Design Hudson River Project – Sewer System Modifications (SSM). The following is an anticipated work schedule for the upcoming two weeks. Schedules may change due to unforeseen weather conditions. Field work will be starting the week of May 24^th and will be focused on test pits to identify existing utilities.

The project team will be engaging in the following activities this week:

• Continúe con las pruebas para confirmar las ubicaciones de las empresas de servicios públicos existentes en todo el área de trabajo del sur y del norte. Las ubicaciones de las fosas de ensayo incluyen:
• Área de trabajo norte: la intersección de Washington St. y 14^th St.; a lo largo de Hudson St. desde 14^th St. hasta 12^th St.
• Área de trabajo del sur: la intersección de River St. y Hudson Pl.; A lo largo de River St., desde Hudson Pl. hasta Newark St.
• Este trabajo se llevará a cabo durante el día entre las 8:00 a.m. y las 6:00 p.m.
• El ensayo se limita a zonas de trabajo compactas y puede implicar reducciones parciales de carril. La policía estará en el lugar para facilitar y dirigir el tráfico según sea necesario.

Project Background:

The Rebuild By Design – Hudson River Project is a comprehensive urban stormwater management program that takes a multi-faceted approach intended to address flooding from both major storm surge and high tide as well as from heavy rainfall events. These events often occur individually, but can also occur together, increasing their impacts. The program includes four components: Resist, Delay, Store and Discharge. This portion of construction addresses the separation of stormwater structures from the combined sewer system outside of the Resist structure.

Construction is planned to begin in May on the South Work Area of the Rebuild By Design Hudson River Project – Sewer System Modifications Project. Construction in the North Work Area is planned to begin in October 2021. This project will consist of a new storm sewer system, with portions of the existing NHSA combined sewer inlets set to be disconnected and manholes to be sealed and lined. Separation of the stormwater system in the exterior areas will prevent tidal surge backflow into the combined system that could cause flooding on the interior side of the line of protection created by the Resist Structure, once constructed. Stormwater collected in the SSM separated area will gravity flow into the Hudson River.

This United States Department of Housing and Urban Development is funding the project, allocating $230 million to the overall Rebuild By Design Hudson River Project.

PSEG Madison Street Substation Project – Monroe Street Paving Operations

The PSE&G Madison Street Substation Project is a multi-million dollar capital improvement that will upgrade the electric distribution system to make it more reliable and resilient in the wake of severe weather. This work includes constructing a new, elevated substation featuring state-of-the-art, 69,000-volt (69kV) gas insulated switchgear to serve and benefit Hoboken businesses and residents.

The following construction activities and traffic management are anticipated for Friday May 28, 2021 between the hours of 8:00am and 6:00pm

Work Activities

• Molinería y pavimentación de la calle Monroe entre la calle 11 y la calle 12

Traffic Management

• Se espera que los desvíos de tráfico permitan las operaciones de fresado y pavimentación
• La policía de Hoboken manejará el flujo de tráfico en cada intersección durante los cierres de carriles y los cambios temporales en la circulación del tráfico.
  • Madison Street se convertirá en una calle bidireccional entre la calle 11 y la calle 12 durante la duración de las operaciones de molienda y pavimentación
• El flujo de tráfico será cambiado para fluir hacia el oeste en la calle 11 entre la calle Madison y la calle Monroe.

Please call the Project Hotline with any concerns at 1-800-901-5035. More information about the Madison Street Substation Project is available at https://www.psegtransmission.com/reliability-projects/69kv-initiative/town/hoboken#:~:text=Project%20Overview,the%20wake%20of%20severe%20weather.

Northwest Resiliency Park

Construction continues on the 5-acre Northwest Resiliency Park, which will be New Jersey’s largest resiliency park. The park will have above and below ground infrastructure to withhold up to 2 million gallons of rainwater to help mitigate local flooding. The contractor will undertake the following activities this week between 8:00am and 4:00pm, subject to weather conditions:

• Construir barricadas detrás de las vallas de construcción
• Construir tuberías de agua pluvial en todo el sitio.
• Construye el muro de escalada.
• Construir las bases de los edificios.

The City uses a combination of low interest and interest-free loans, principal forgiveness for the resiliency features, and grant money to save over $19 million over the life of the project. The Northwest Resiliency Park also utilizes the Open Space Trust Fund to pay for the construction costs of the Northwest Park, and is not utilizing any funding from the 2020 municipal budget.

North Hudson Sewerage Authority projects to mitigate flooding events in Northwest Hoboken, reduce Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs)

To reduce Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) into the Hudson River and mitigate flooding events in Northwest Hoboken, the North Hudson Sewerage Authority (NHSA), in partnership with the City of Hoboken, is constructing a pumping station and a two-story electrical and mechanical building on the Northwest Resiliency Park (NWRP) site. This, along with associated sewer infrastructure in and around the site, is designed to reduce CSO events in the H6/H7 sewershed in Northwest Hoboken. The project also includes the installation of two advanced hydrodynamic separators, an inlet gravity sewer connection and a portion of a stormwater discharge force main connection to the limits of the resiliency park site.

In addition, NHSA will also build a stormwater collection gravity trunk sewer pipeline and appurtenances along 13th Street from Adams Street to Madison Street, and a stormwater force main sewer pipeline and appurtenances along a portion of 13th street from Jefferson Street to Adams Street. Outside of the Northwest Resiliency Park site, the work will include excavation and demolition of existing pipe and structures; and installation of piles and new sewer pipe and precast structures in the roadway of 13th Street between Adams Street and Madison Street.

The following construction activities and traffic management are anticipated this week between 8:00am and 4:30pm.
