Johnston Avenue Safety Improvements
The Department of Infrastructure will soon be paving Johnston
Avenue as part of a Federal grant project. The Department is proposing to implement a new two-way protected bike lane on Johnston Avenue. The proposed two-way bikeway would replace the parking lane on the south
side of the street.
This project will:
- Create a safe, direct connection between Grand Street, Pacific Ave,
the Morris Canal Greenway, and Liberty State Light Rail Station.
- Make it easier for residents and visitors to bike to Liberty State Park.
- Expand the city’s protected bikeway network and advance our Vision
Zero safety goals.
This improvement is part of Jersey City’s Bike Master Plan, building a safer,
more connected, and more equitable transportation system for everyone.
City Council would need to adopt an ordinance to prohibit parking along
the south side of Johnston Avenue to accommodate this new configuration.
