I-78 Corridor Transit Study - Update

Posted by M Paradis

May 1, 2007

Last night was a very well attended meeting of the I-78 Transit Corridor Transit Study. Attendees included many County and local officials looking for the latest information on how to resolve or lessen the increased traffic congestion on I-78. Some very ambitious plans were presented - but where would the funding come from?

Some draft recommendations that would impact our local area include:

Possible Central Hunterdon transit access facilties, pending further study and coordination with local municipalities
“Transit Ready Corridor” treatments to enhance bus service on Rt 22 in Phillipsburg, and between Clinton and Somerville.
Possible bus-on-shoulder treatments on I-78 to facilitiate bus bypass of congested locations

There will be a series of open house meetings to hear future travel options for the I-78 corridor. The next/closest meeting will be on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 from 6-9PM at North Hunterdon High School, Cafeteria B in Annandale, NJ
