Public Workshop For Sinatra Drive Redesign, Thursday, May 15

From City of Hoboken Website

The City of Hoboken has hired Kimley Horn to conduct a public planning process for a “complete streets” redesign of Sinatra Drive from 4th Street to 11th Street. The first public workshop will take place on Thursday, May 15 from 7pm to 9pm at the Multi Service Center, located at 124 Grand Street.

A scenic waterfront corridor with magnificent views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline, Frank Sinatra Drive remains the only unfinished portion of Hoboken’s re-envisioned and revitalized waterfront. The City wishes to apply its “Complete Streets” policy to create a safe street that can be enjoyed by all Hoboken residents—including children, families, older adults, and people with disabilities—for walking, running, biking, and driving. The street also will incorporate “Green Streets” elements such as rain gardens to reduce stormwater run-off and flooding.
