Mayor Healy Announces Comprehensive Bike Program Program includes bike lanes, update biking ordinances, additional bike

parking & expand safe cycling campaign

JERSEY CITY – Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy announced today a comprehensive plan to install a new

network of 35.2 miles of striped bike lanes, plus 19.5 miles of shared lanes marked on the street with

“sharrows” that will interconnect neighborhoods, major destinations, employment centers, parks and

mass transit stations.

In addition to the new network of bike lanes and shared lanes with sharrows, a number of other

initiatives are being undertaken as part of a comprehensive approach by the City to support safe and

courteous cycling, including the following:

Major revisions to Jersey City’s bike riding ordinances have been submitted to the City Council

for consideration at their meeting of December 19th, 2012.

A Bike Rack Sponsorship Program to make it easier and less costly for merchants to provide a

bike rack in the public right-of-way will start on January 2nd, 2013. Merchants will make a

$250 donation to the Jersey City Bike Rack Trust Fund, city engineers will evaluate the

proposed location, and the City will purchase and install the bike rack in approved locations.

A new ordinance containing realistic zoning requirements for bike parking in new buildings

will be sent to the Planning Board for consideration on December 18th, 2012.

The Grove Street demonstration bike lanes that were installed as part of Green Week will be

made permanent and repainted in the spring of 2013.

Release of a new Public Service Announcement as part of the ongoing Safe Cycling Education

and Enforcement Campaign that was launched in April 2012.

Launch of a new city website on bike safety.

Jersey City is collaborating with Hudson County and Hoboken to identify funding to implement

an inter-city bike share program.

“Implementation of this comprehensive bike program is part of my ongoing commitment to the

environment, transportation, healthy living, and public safety,” said Mayor Healy. “Cycling is an

integral part of the city’s transportation system, and a popular recreational activity. Cycling is on the

rise and it has become increasingly important to designate space for cyclists on city streets, as well as to

update the city’s laws as they pertain to cycling.”

“NJDOT applauds Jersey City for their efforts in implementing their Complete Streets policy. The

installation of bike lanes and shared use lanes through the city will go a long way to encourage non-

motorized transportation and continue the work to create a statewide network of safe and accessible

bikeways,” said New Jersey Transportation Commissioner Jim Simpson.

Implementation of bike lanes and shared lanes with sharrows will occur over time as streets are repaved

or funding for additional installations becomes available. The 2012 repaving plan includes 3.1 miles of

street segments that are within the plan for bike lane and sharrows, and will have bike lanes or sharrows

added as part of the repaving project.

2012 Jersey City Repaving Plan -- Bike Lane and Shared Lane Components

Old Bergen Road MacAdoo to Merritt 2 one-way sharrows

Fulton Garfield to Ocean 1 one-way bike lane

Fulton MLK to Bergen 1 one-way bike lane

Woodlawn West Side to Kennedy 1 one-way bike Lane

Bergen Communipaw to Montgomery 2 one-way Sharrows

Hoboken Central to Oakland 1 one-way bike lane

Coles 2nd

to 7th

1 one-way bike lane

Manila CC Dr. to 6th

1 one-way bike lane

Bowers Ogden to Kennedy 1 one-way bike lane

Additionally, the city applied to the NJ DOT Bikeways program in October, 2012 for $1,428,040 in

grant funding to pay for 54.7 miles of bike lanes and sharrows, as well as for bike racks.

Striped bike lanes will be installed within the network where street width permits. Where the street is

narrower sharrows will be installed. Sharrows are double chevrons marked on the street. BIKE LANE

signage will be installed with bike lanes. SHARE THE ROAD signage will be installed on lanes marked

with sharrows.

The new bike program expands upon recent initiatives such as striping of demonstration bike lanes on

Grove Street in April 2012 as part of Green Week, adoption of a compete streets resolution, a bike rack

trust fund that has been approved by city council and is pending state approval, and an ongoing safe

cycling education and enforcement campaign. Jersey City also partnered in April with BikeJC to

prepare a bike safety educational flyer in English and Spanish that has been widely disseminated.

A Bike Infrastructure Working Group comprised of city staff and representatives of BikeJC was

convened on May 16, 2012 to study and make recommendations pertaining to municipal bike

infrastructure – including on-street bike accommodations, bike parking, bike share, and bike safety. It

was charged with submitting a report on the next steps with respect to implementation of bike

infrastructure, including the following: identification of specific streets, design standards for on street

markings, budgets, priorities, schedules, and a public communications strategy. A final report to Mayor

Healy was completed on September 27, 2012.

All media inquiries should be directed to Jennifer Morrill, Press Secretary to Mayor Jerramiah T.

INTRODUCTION

Why formed / Mission

The bike infrastructure working group was convened to study and make recommendations pertaining to

municipal bike infrastructure – including on-street bike accommodations, bike parking, bike share, and

bike safety. It was charged with submitting a report on the next steps with respect to implementation

of bike infrastructure, including the following: identification of specific streets, design standards for on

street markings, budgets, priorities, schedules, and a public communications strategy. The working

group was also charged with establishing bike rack standards and preparing updates to city ordinances

for consideration by the municipal council.

Demand for Cycling Infrastructure

Demand for cycling infrastructure is growing nationwide and locally. The numbers of bikes parked daily

at PATH stations has grown visibly over the last couple of years.

Bikes are more visibly more present now on city streets throughout Jersey City than they have ever

been. Many new residents view bike infrastructure not only as an important amenity, but also as an

indicator of a vibrant and desirable place to live.

BIKE LANES AND SHARROWS

It is recommended that the city install a basic network of striped bike lanes and sharrows.

Striped bike lanes are recommended within the network where street width permits. Bike lanes are a

good way of designating space for cyclists to ride that otherwise does not exist. Prior to the installation

of bike lanes on Grove Street, there was a very wide travel lane. Some drivers stayed in the middle,

some to the right and some to the left. The bike lane delineates the space within which motor vehicles

must travel, and leaves space for cyclists. Bike lanes also tell drivers getting out of parked cars to watch

for bikes when opening car doors.

However, many of Jersey City’s streets are not wide enough for bike lanes, or are wide enough for lanes

only in certain sections. Sharrows (pictured below) are double chevrons marked on the street, and can

be used in conjunction with, or in lieu of, bike lanes. Sharrows are often used in conjunction with a bike

symbol stencil. Sharrows are very useful in connecting segments of striped bike lanes when the road

narrows. Although they do not create a designated space for cyclists, sharrows are effective in

trailblazing the route for cyclists, and for alerting drivers to the likely presence of bikes, and for alerting

cyclists to share the road with cars. Sharrows are recommended within the network where the street is

too narrow to support bike lanes.

Striped lanes and sharrows will also provide clear trailblazing designation of the preferred routes for

cyclists that bike route signage alone does not. This trailblazing will divert some cyclists away from

streets that are less desirable for bicycle usage.

Identification of Streets for Bike Lanes

The Bike Lanes Committee identified and prioritized streets for bike lanes and sharrows. Streets were

selected for analysis based on the need to connect neighborhoods as well as major destinations such as

transit hubs, employment centers, and parks. Streets were evaluated based on the criteria below. Initial

field work eliminated certain streets due to observed traffic volumes and measured cartway widths.

Guiding principles that were used for Identification of streets for bike lanes:

1) Opportunity: Existing cartway width is sufficient to accommodate a striped bike

lane for most of the length of the street segment without eliminating vehicular

travel lanes or parking lanes (Striped lanes are preferred over sharrows. Use

sharrows primarily for shorter connections between longer sections of striped bike

lanes)

2) Fulfill one or more goals or objectives of the circulation element of the master plan

(e.g. improve connectivity between neighborhoods for cyclists, create a safe and

secure bicycling environment)

3) Segment usage

a) Supports linkages between multiple origins and destinations (such as a

neighborhood spine)

b) Supports multiple types of trip purposes (i.e. both transportation and

recreational usage)

c) Provides access to PATH or HBLR station.

4) Critical link between other bike lane network components and major destinations

The Jersey City Division of Engineering, Traffic and Transportation measured cartways, and evaluated

each street segment to determine if it would support a striped bike lane or sharrows. The results of the

engineering evaluation are contained in Appendix B and mapped by the Division of City Planning in

Appendix C.

Prioritization

The bike lanes and sharrows network has been mapped and prioritized. A Table of Priorities for Bike

Lanes and Sharrows is provided in Appendix B starting on page 18 of this report. Higher priority was

given to streets where the need for bike infrastructure is greatest and where there will be the biggest

positive impact. The number of streets that are improved is dependent upon cost and funding

availability. It is recommended that the City pursue a 2012 NJ DOT bikeways grant for bike lanes and

sharrows. It is anticipated that NJ DOT will view such an application by the City of Jersey City very

favorably. The grant deadline is October 15.

The committee also recommends that bike lane striping and sharrows for streets that are planned for

bike lanes be included in the city’s repaving contracts in order to reduce the cost of implementation. If a

bike lane or sharrows street is slated for repaving, then the opportunity should be seized to include the

installation of bike lanes and sharrows in the repaving contract regardless of the committee’s

September 27, 2012

prioritization of the particular street. Also, streets slated for repaving that are not included in the

committee’s bike lane network should be evaluated at the time of preparing for repaving to determine if

the street would be a logical addition to the bike lane and sharrows network.

BIKE RIDING ORDINANCES

It is recommended to amend the city’s current ordinances as they pertain to bicycle riding in Jersey City.

A proposed ordinance has been drafted by the Ordinance Committee of the Bicycle Infrastructure

Working Group. The Ordinance Committee was comprised of representatives of the city’s Law

Department, Mayor’s Office, City Planning Division and BikeJC.

The proposed ordinance makes the following changes:

• Adds consistency with NJ state law pertaining to bicycle riding on streets.

• Adds bicycle passenger safety requirements, which are particularly pertinent to children as

passengers.

• Deletes provision that prohibits bicycling on sidewalks in commercial districts, which is difficult

to enforce, in part because commercial districts are not defined.

• Establishes that pedestrians have the right-of-way on sidewalks. Permits cyclists to ride on

sidewalks, but not faster than pedestrians are walking. Requires adult cyclists on the sidewalk

to ride as close to the curb as is practicable

• Empowers city engineer to designate specific sidewalks where cycling is prohibited, and post

signs as appropriate.

• Establishes rules for bicycling within bike lanes, using the same rules that Hoboken has already

established to avoid confusion for cyclists.

It is our belief that the expanded and clarified ordinance will support bike riding in Jersey City and make

safety a top priority. The full proposed ordinance is provided in Appendix A starting on page 9 of this

report.

BIKE PARKING

There are various bicycle parking needs throughout the city. The greatest needs are at the public transit

nodes - PATH Stations and Light Rail Stations. There is unmet need at many shopping centers and strip

malls, schools, office buildings and major institutions.

Proven bike parking solutions are many and varied, and can include outdoor bike racks on the sidewalk,

bike racks on the street near corners, bike lockers, and bike racks within parking garages, and in city

September 27, 2012

owned parking lots. Bike valet parking is also an option, and is a service already provided by Grove

Street Bikes. In all cases placement has to be carefully planned to avoid creating obstructions for

pedestrians and cars, and each installation must be evaluated on an individual site by site basis.

The City Planning Division is currently in the process of evaluating a zoning ordinance to require parking

as part of certain types of new development.

Grants can be pursued to install bike racks on public property. On private property, existing large lot

users such as shopping centers, universities, and hospitals can be encouraged to install bike racks for

their shoppers, students, employees and visitors.

The City Council has approved a bike rack trust fund to facilitate installation of bike racks on the

sidewalk in the public right-of-way by the Department of Public Works using funds provided by property

owners. This arrangement will eliminate the need for property owners to obtain a Franchise Ordinance

in order to install a bike rack. We are awaiting approval of the trust fund by the New Jersey Division of

Local Government Services.

BIKE SHARE

Bike sharing is a service by which bicycles are made available for short term rental at self serve kiosks.

Bikes can be picked up at one kiosk and returned to another. Bike sharing has emerged world-wide as

one of the fastest growing alternative transportation options for urban and suburban environments.

Bicycle rental plans are offered at varied and affordable annual, monthly, and daily rates, attracting

everyday commuters, recreational users, and tourists. Bike share systems have proven especially

effective in urban environments as bicycles are considered the most efficient mode of transportation for

short trips, require little in terms of new infrastructure construction, promote a healthy community, and

take the burden of safely storing a bicycle off of the user. By making bicycles available at transit stations,

bike sharing has also proven a great complimentary system to public transportation networks, helping

with the “first and last mile” of trips.

Hudson County has taken the lead in seeking grant funding and corporate sponsorship for a regional

bike share system. Currently an application has been submitted by Hudson County to the NJ DOT

Transportation Enhancement Program for a grant of $540,000. The first phase of the system would

entail installation of dozens of bike share kiosks in Hoboken and downtown Jersey City.

BIKE SAFETY: EDUCATION AND ENFORCEMENT

The City has already initiated a number of educational items in conjunction with the launch of the

demonstration bike lanes on Grove Street in April 2012. A safe cycling flyer in English and Spanish was

developed in partnership with BikeJC and disseminated, a PSA was filmed and broadcast on JC1, and

September 27, 2012

8

Hudson TMA posted hung safe cycling information from the handlebars of bikes parked near Grove

Street PATH station.

Education and Enforcement of safe cycling should continue, and it is recommended that a Safe Cycling

Education and Enforcement Committee be institutionalized as an ongoing endeavor of the Mayor’s

Office.

Mission Statement: The Safe Cycling Education and Enforcement Committee is dedicated to building the

community's awareness of cyclists as professional delivery services, commuters and recreational users

throughout the city. The committee will produce and inform the public through collaborative meetings,

educational workshops and publications to better integrate cycling into the community.

Proposed Activities:

Education

• Develop a Jersey city Safe Cycling Website

• Install “Watch for bikes!” signs at all vehicular entrances to the city

• Develop a new PSA

• Educational Publications: Develop educational kits for pedestrians, businesses and community

organizations.

o Bike Signs - What do they mean?!

o Biking around the City

o Interviews and Photographs of cyclist around the city (testimonials)

o Cycling Health Benefits

o Bike Lanes - The positive and negative impacts to the urban surrounding

• Delivery Services Program: Provide businesses the opportunity to install bike racks as a joint partnership

with the city. In return, their Bike Delivery Service are to recognize Cyclist Safety and Etiquette in the city.

Enforcement

It is recommended that the JCPD actively enforce New Jersey statutes and City ordinances that

pertain to bike safety.

COMMUNICATIONS PLAN

• Roll out the bike infrastructure implementation plan (Ordinances, lanes, parking, safety

campaign, etc.) with a press event.
