HOBOKEN — A community meeting for the re-design of Observer Highway has been scheduled for March 3 from 6 p.m.to 8 p.m. in the conference room in the basement of City Hall, 94 Washington St.
The city has $2 million in federal funding to improve Observer Highway.
“With this funding, we have an opportunity to transform Observer Highway into ‘Observer Boulevard’ and create a more welcoming gateway to our City and a safer street for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians,” said Mayor Dawn Zimmer, in a press release.
Based on feedback from an August 2010 community meeting regarding Observer Highway, engineers and planners have developed three alternative designs that will be presented for additional public input at the upcoming meeting.
