The American Planning Association New Jersey Chapter’s Community Planning Assistance Program (CPAP) created a strategic plan for the City of Hackensack focused on the Essex Street Train Station on NJ TRANSIT’s Pascack Valley Line. The work was done in partnership with NJTPA’s Transit Hub Pilot Program. The Station is in southern Hackensack, blocks from the Hackensack University Medical Center and a large residential area along Summit Avenue and Prospect Street with high-rise apartment buildings and historic single-family homes. East of the station, less than ½ mile away, is the Bergen County Administration buildings and NJ TRANSIT’s bus terminal. North of the station is an older neighborhood of single-family houses and apartment buildings, with mixed manufacturing and light industrial uses, and the city’s high school. The bustling Main Street redevelopment area is within ¾ of a mile. ]]>

The other partners were with the Center for Community Planning, the New Jersey Community Development Corporation, Passaic County Community College, the Paterson Board of Education and the Passaic Board of Education. The class ultimately created plans for redeveloping a historic 9-story Fabian Building in downtown Paterson as a performing arts facility and community center for the college.

The New Jersey Chapter’s CPAP team was invited by the South Ward Children’s Alliance in Newark’s South Ward to support the creation of a community needs assessment that could be used in their efforts to improve public education in the South Ward. The Alliance has become increasingly aware that addressing problems in the community, such as housing, crime and recreation, is a critical part of improving the South Ward’s public schools. The CPAP was asked to support their efforts to identify social issues in the surrounding neighborhoods and how they should be prioritized. The long list of social issues in the area creates unstable environments where education becomes a huge challenge for students. The overarching goal is to create a stable life for students so they can do better in school. A major component of the field work was to work with parents of children in the schools to ensure their points of view. The team conducted a review of data provided by the Alliance, researched additional sources for data, combined them with the views of the parents and produced a final presentation of the work, including maps, data, and results. While this was a very different kind of project for the team, considering the close link with public education, the team was enthusiastic to do it. Two of the team members brought strong backgrounds in urban public education to the project. The team’s analytical approach provided the Alliance with important information they will use to consider programs to address the neighborhood’s most urgent needs. The team members were: • Molly Coon • Michael Kolber • Christopher Kok • Nadia Mian • Deborah Schulze • Tom Schulze ]]>

APA-NJ CPAP was invited to New Brunswick by the Esperanza Neighborhood Project and New Brunswick Tomorrow to create a vision plan to enhance the French Street commercial corridor using input and recommendations from community residents, businesses, and shoppers. The French Streets corridor is located in the heart of New Brunswick near Rutgers University and the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital/University Complex, the train station and other downtown offices. The corridor is about half a mile long and contains mostly small retail businesses that serve a mostly local customer base. The neighborhood has a rich Hispanic/Latin culture and many of the businesses there cater to that market. The key goals for revitalizing French Street were: • Beautify and improve Crime, • Improve pedestrian safety and vehicle flow, • Improve and create public spaces, • Reduce crime and loitering, and • Attract shoppers to the businesses along French Street. The team conducted a community driven SWOT analysis for the area and extensive outreach and data collection to develop an ambitious set of strategies and recommendations for reaching the goals.

The corridor is about half a mile long and contains mostly small retail businesses that serve a mostly local customer base. The neighborhood has a rich Hispanic/Latin culture and many of the businesses there cater to that market. The key goals for revitalizing French Street were: • Beautify and improve Crime, • Improve pedestrian safety and vehicle flow, • Improve and create public spaces, • Reduce crime and loitering, and • Attract shoppers to the businesses along French Street. The team conducted a community driven SWOT analysis for the area and extensive outreach and data collection to develop an ambitious set of strategies and recommendations for reaching the goals.

Planner volunteers worked with the Tri-City People's Corporation to develop a strategic plan for this struggling neighborhood in Newark's Central Ward. The community has a long list of challenges, including high crime, significant poverty, troubled schools, inadequate housing, mortgage and tax foreclosures, and little or no strong community organization to steer the strategic plan. Positive aspects of the neighborhood are several organizations with long term commitments to the neighborhood, such as Tri-City Peoples Corporation, many houses of worship willing to support the effort, a beautiful county park at its center, West Side Park, and a growing commercial district along Springfield Avenue, where Home Depot, a movie theater, a newly opened Shop Rite and a several restaurants have opened.   While the team of volunteers investigated the neighborhood and collected data and other information to support their work, they worked closely with the staff at Tri City to create a steering committee, inviting community representatives from various organizations in and around the neighborhood, including several houses of worship, elected officials, and Rutgers School of Criminal Justice in Newark. Organizing the steering committee was a significant effort. The team presented their findings with a list of strategies for continuing to organize the area, and begin to address the more pressing challenges. The first challenge will be to maintain the steering committee, which lacks strong leadership. The long term hope is that the steering committee can maintain the effort, strengthen the community organization, and apply for a planning grant from a foundation to develop a redevelopment plan.   The volunteers were:   Michael Benson Lee Edgecomb, AIA, ASLA, AICP Genevieve Lee Khendra Lelie Upendra Sapkota.

The American Planning Association - NJ Chapter's Community Planning Assistance Program was invited by the Coalition to Preserve the Palisades, Inc. to develop a community vision plan for a 6.55 acre site that lies on the Palisades Cliffs, a line of steep cliffs formed about 200 million years ago. Part of the James J. Braddock North Hudson County Park, the site is owned by Hudson County, but is currently closed to visitors. CPAP volunteers: conducted field visits to determine the existing site conditions; obtained and reviewed existing mapping and historical documents of the site; created and implemented a community visioning process in an effort to determine the community’s thoughts, concerns, and ideas for the site, and use the community’s voice as the foundation of this vision plan; and created the vision plan. The community visioning process included creation of and meetings with a steering committee that included the Hudson County parks and planning departments, and conduct of a public meeting. The vision plan included: a vision statement; conceptual designs and recommendations; project phasing and cost estimates; estimated project timeline; and funding options.]]>
