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.

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

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.
