SUMMARY OF PUBLIC MEETING #1
The first public meeting for the Central Bergen Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans was held on Thursday,June 5, 2014 at the Rochelle Park Senior Center in Rochelle Park, New Jersey. The meeting wasconducted as an open house from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The purpose of the meeting was to provideinformation on the project as well as receive comments and feedback from the public on:
where they are currently biking and walking within the 8 community study area;where they would like to bike and walk in the future within the study area;locations of existing problem areas for bicyclists and pedestrians; andimprovements they would like to see that would enhance bicycle and pedestrian travel withinthe study area.
As meeting attendees entered the meeting space, they were asked to provide their contactinformation for the project record (see attached list of participants). Overall, 29 people attended,representing Bergen County, the North Jersey Transportation Authority (NJTPA), the New Jersey BikeWalk Coalition, as well as County and regional residents with an interest in biking and walking.Residents from the following study area communities were in attendance: Maywood, Glen Rock, FairLawn, Rochelle Park, and Ridgewood.
Participants visited open house stations consisting of several large presentation boards:Background and purpose of the Central Bergen Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans;Bicycle, pedestrian, and complete streets treatments that could be applied to study areastreets to improve conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians;Project mapping including a study area map as well as a “hot spot” map depicting the locationof bicycle and pedestrian related crashes along study area routes.
Meeting attendees then had the opportunity to provide feedback using markers on large versions ofstudy area mapping. Meeting attendees were asked to consider:
Biking and walking routes that they liked – mark in blueOff road connections – mark in greenRoutes that they wish were better – mark in orangeProblem areas – called out in any color
Mike Dannemiller, the RBA Team Project Manager, also provided a demonstration of an online,interactive mapping tool that allows members of the public to “draw” their biking and walking routes,call out biking and walking destinations, issue areas, etc. Mike showed attendees how to log onto thesite and how to provide the pertinent information:http://wikimapping.com/wikimap/Bergen.html
Meeting attendees also had the opportunity to provide written comments. A paperquestionnaire/comment card was available for attendees wishing to provide additional comments onthe following questions:
Do you bike or walk within the area now? Where?In your opinion, what are the impediments to moving forward with a more bicycle andpedestrian friendly community?What are the most exciting opportunities for improvement?Other thoughts about bicycle and pedestrian improvements…….?
Attendees placed completed comment cards in the comment box provided by the project team.

The second public workshop was held on December 3rd 2014 at the Rochelle Park Senior Center. The focus of the meeting was to solicit feedback on the proposed bicycle network and the selected areas for potential pedestrian improvements. There were 11 attendees in addition to the 3 members from the project team. The project team presented individual maps for each of the 8 municipalities which showed the proposed bicycle network and selected focus areas for pedestrian improvements. In addition, the project team presented a series of concepts showing the different pedestrian and bicycle facilities recommended for the study area. The attendees reviewed the proposed network and focus areas and identified potential routes and focus areas within each municipality. The following is a summary of the feedback received during the workshop: Overall study area:
1. Ensure safe access to commuter bus stops (tied into overpasses) a. NYC-Bound
i. Linwood Avenue ii. Ridgewood Avenue
iii. A + S Drive (Paramus) iv. Midland Avenue v. Century Road
Ridgewood:
1. Short term pedestrian improvements using paint channelization and then long term curb can be considered
2. At Prospect St and S. Maple Avenue intersection, have pedestrian countdowns in place?

3. “CBD Hatching” for all new crosswalks 4. Provide safe crossing to Duck Pond Area (E Ridgewood Avenue) 5. New connection along county property? Saddle River Park 6. Existing trail extending from Duck Pond to Linwood Ave? 7. Consider doing a temporary test striping along Ridgewood Avenue prior to the 2015
repaving Glen Rock:
1. Check Maple Avenue (width = 30’). Does bike lane really fit? 2. Bike Lane along Hamilton Avenue?
Fair Lawn:
1. Ped access at Park n ride in DPW opposite NJ Transit bus stop. (On Saddle River Rd south of Garwood Rd).
2. Currently cyclists use Route 4 shoulder for bicycle access. 3. Any way to connect to BCCC?
Elmwood Park:
1. Artesian field walking path along Gilbert Avenue 2. Yes for Bike Lane along Boulevard (see parking markings on Map) 3. Market street – new sidewalks and streetscape coming in 2015 + promote 4. Flood zone along River Drive, boat basin, we need sidewalks – high priority in-land side 5. Currently cyclists use Route 4 shoulder for bicycle access 6. Remove sidewalk from southbound River Drive
Saddle Brook: (no comments) Rochelle Park:
1. Need pedestrian access to shopping along W. Passaic Street (shoprite) and for bus riders along Passaic Street.
2. Pedestrian access along Harvey and Fairfield Drive to Garden State Plaza mall 3. Terrace Avenue and Rochelle Avenue – key intersection for safety – even crossing guards
have been hit 4. Railroad Avenue provides access into the south end of the Saddle River Park path. 5. Consider shared use path bridge parallel to Railroad Ave. 6. Bus stop near GSP see Paramus map and apple unilaterally across study area
Maywood:
1. No ex. sidewalk E. Spring Valley Avenue Paramus:
1. Need more bicycle racks at Bergen Community College as all racks are full 2. Can Forest Avenue be considered for road diet? 3. Currently cyclists use Route 4 shoulder for bicycle access
The RBA Group, Inc. Page 3- December 3, 2015
4. Consider a pedestrian underpass or overpass to connect the college with the Saddle River
park trail 5. Pedestrian bridge access needed at Route 4 ramp along Forest Avenue and Spring Valley

geared to getting into campus – (central) from Paramus road and parking areas. Peripheral movement maybe more appropriate for bicycles accessing campus from the main arteries / approaches.
9. Signs entering campus state that there is to be no trespassing on Bergen Community College property.
10. There is senior housing between Route 4 and Paramus Road – consider access to Saddle River Path from here
11. Bus stop area outside Garden State Plaza mall (see map), Access to both from East/West/South sides
12. Safe access for bikes and pedestrians to Garden State Plaza mall – provide from Plaza Way and Garden State Plaza Blvd. and across Passaic Street from Rochelle Park.
13. See Map for bus stop locations near Bergen Town Center – provide safe access for bicycles and pedestrians.
14. Missing sidewalk on Route 4 to access the bus stops near Bergen Town center 15. Link to bus stop / staging area near Paramus Park mal 16. Is Midland Ave really bike lane eligible?
Comment Form Response Thank you, I learned more about the Central Bergen Bike+Walk Plans. As a cyclist, I welcome any improvements to make the roads safer. I am on the Saddle River Park Bike Path often and think that any improved access to the path is a good idea. Keep up the good work.

SUBJECT: Central Bergen Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans Final Public Meeting 4/16/2015 RBA #J4710.00
The Central Bergen Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans (CBBPP) Project Team held a final Public Meeting on Thursday, April , 2015 at the Elmwood Park Senior Center in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. The purpose of this meeting was to share the final draft versions of the Plans and gather feedback on the most recent conceptual improvements.
Overall, 25 people attended, representing mainly North Jersey residents with an interest in biking and walking (sign-in sheet attached). Attendees had the opportunity to discuss the project in more detail with the Project Team, review presentation boards with proposed recommendations, and provide hand-drawn comments and feedback on the maps of the study area. Attendees were then able to submit comment cards to the Project Team. A total of 3 comment cards were completed at the meeting (attached). In general, attendees were pleased with elements of the Plans and would continue to offer support for implementation. Specific comments and feedback from participants are summarized below:
MAYWOOD COMMENTS Attendees referenced an existing bike path that extends between Spring Valley Road andGrant Avenue; therefore, the Spring Valley Road recommendations will enhance – and compliment – the existing network. The old trolley line is used informally as a bike/pedestrian pathway. Consider formalizingbetween S. Farview Avenue and Spring Valley Road.
ROCHELLE PARK COMMENTS County project at Rochelle Avenue at Essex Railroad Avenue Bridge – need forenhancements reiterated by attendees.
RIDGEWOOD COMMENTS No sidewalks exist along W. Glen Avenue east of current recommendation to HillcrestRoad. No sidewalks exist along E. Glen Avenue between Downing Street and N. Maple Avenue.Commercial property along Maple Avenue just south of the Ho-Ho-Kus border near 2nd
Street and Pine Street is being redeveloped; therefore, a possibility to include bicyclefacilities to enhance the overall network.
The RBA Group, Inc. Page 2- April 16, 2015
Maple Avenue is a popular bike route and bicyclists are consistently observed throughout the day.
No sidewalks exist and/or they alternate side along Maple Avenue from Mulberry Plaza south to Brookmere Court.
A difficult intersection crossing for bicyclists and pedestrians exists at the intersection of Robinson Lane and Maple Avenue.
A difficult intersection crossing for bicyclists and pedestrians exists at the intersection of N. Walnut Street and Franklin Avenue.
Attendees referenced an existing gravel path that extends from Wild Duck Pond Park north to Linwood Avenue. Good connection to recommendations along Linwood Avenue.
Consider extending the recommendation along Spring Avenue to the Saddle River trail via N. Pleasant Avenue and Witthill Road.
Attendees referenced several formal – and informal – dirt path connections to the Saddle River trail off several residential streets east of N. Pleasant Avenue between Spring Avenue and Grove Street.
In general, many crashes occur along Franklin Avenue – consider a priority segment. GLEN ROCK COMMENTS
No comments FAIRLAWN COMMENTS
In general, attendees would like the recommendation for sharrows to remain on Maple Avenue – extending north through other municipalities.
Attendees desired enhanced connections between Fair Lawn Avenue and Dunkerhook Road. From there, the Plans include recommendations for direct connections to the Bergen Community College.
Attendees were concerned over recommendations near Route 4/Route 208. Consider extending bike lanes (recommended along Broadway) south of Route 4 to Saddle River Road.
Storm drain slots present a danger to bicyclists as tires can become lodged. SADDLE BROOK COMMENTS
No comments ELMWOOD PARK COMMENTS
The recommendation for sidewalks along River Road may need to extend north to the Borough border.
Attendees were interested in lowering the posted speed limit of 35 mph on Boulevard to 30 mph.
Molnar Drive was referenced as a great location for biking but bridge under the railroad track is narrow and dangerous.
The RBA Group, Inc. Page 3- April 16, 2015
PARAMUS COMMENTS
Implementing sharrows on Midland Avenue at the Route 17 crossing may offer a solution to help mitigate safety concerns.
Attendees indicated cyclists are commonly observed on Paramus Road; therefore, protected bike lanes may offer benefits (independent of property impacts).

From: Mike Dannemiller (RBA) & Pete Kremer (Parsons Brinkerhoff)
Meeting Date: April 30, 2014
Re: Central Bergen Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans – Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) Meeting #1
Attendees: See attached Sign In Sheet
Meeting Purpose & Goals: To introduce the project purpose and scope; to solicit anddiscuss the ideas and perspectives of TAC participants.
Introductions: Ken Aloisio and Donna Orbach, Bergen County
Project Purpose, Goals & Benefits: Make it safer to get around (biking and walking) Health benefits Less driving = less traffic congestion Traffic calming and livability benefits
Project Approach and Process: Will not be seeking to expand county park or roads Why are we here – 8 towns – home to, or surround Saddle River Park (heartland
of Bergen County) Will be seeking resolutions of support from each town Next summer – pursue (Federal) grants to build any major physical
recommendations and will need to include resolutions of support from eachmunicipality
No pre conception of recommendations set right now; this project is an “openslate”
Next TAC meeting ~fall
The RBA Group, Inc.Page 2 April 30, 2014
The County intends to build a network of Complete Streets throughout theCounty, expanding on this effort
Need to bring the public into the process to support data collection and providelocal input and priorities
Issues and Opportunities to Investigate: Access to and through Saddle River County park and make improvements to local
roads Saddle River County Park is a regional spine for multi modal use, but is not
intended to be used for high speed bike traffic Saddle River County Park is a recreation destination Multimodal mobility and safety are top priorities Maywood has a Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan (NJDOT funded)
Paramus: Paramus Road – high speed issue; Bergen Community College is accessed along
Paramus Road (not recommended route for bikes) Saddle River Road – similar issues – high speed Insufficient pedestrian accommodation at signalized intersections (County
jurisdiction) may be a global issue Connection to local destinations and businesses are a plus Do not want to see substandard/inadequate facilities just to fit something in Midland Avenue is a priority corridor
Ridgewood: Transit provided bike racks to be installed soon Top priority Corridors
Grove Street (municipal) Linwood Avenue Ridgewood Avenue (county road – overdue on repaving) All three provide park access
Utility ROWs could be investigated
Fair Lawn: Berdan Avenue has no striping and is very wide (this is an opportunity!) – goes
under Rte. 208; railroad underpass is unimproved, very narrow and needs lighting) Not all trains stop at Radburn; high speed trains pass by the station (NJ TRANSIT) Fair Lawn Avenue is very busy Fair Lawn Parkway is very wide Saddle River Road at Century/Fair Lawn is an intersection that should be
investigated to determine potential issues

Elmwood Park: Possibly route along river Market Street will be a major corridor (includes a Passaic River crossing)
Routing “through town” may be counter productive; following the River is apreferred route
There is a canoe path and the falls to Dundee Dam are a major draw NYC on road bike facilities may be a good example to follow
Rochelle Park: There is a freight rail line that is not displayed on the map Investigate potential off road connections at Rochelle Avenue and Railroad
Avenue (priority) Route could include Essex Street/Market Street/Rochelle Avenue
Glen Rock: Make connection to the public pool Will bring back input and comments from town officials and professionals People had been using the utility ROW as an off road path, but chains blocking
access have been installed along the corridor ~Glen Rock; investigate jurisdictionof the utility corridor (may be PSE&G)
The utility ROW crosses streets midblock, which may be an issue should thecorridor become available non motorized access.
Public Meeting Options: Rochelle Park, Senior Center, 151 W. Passaic Street (near transit) Fair Lawn Community Center (near train station)

The second meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee for the Central Bergen Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans project was held as a series of geographically focused meetings. Pairs of municipalities were invited to review project materials in order to focus discussions to each of their specific locations, and yet still gain the benefit of their neighbors. Three meeting times were conducted including: 10:00 am – Maywood and Rochelle Park 11:00am – Elmwood Park and Fairlawn 12:00 noon – Glen Rock and Ridgewood Paramus and Saddle Brook were invited but not able to attend. Major findings of each of these targeted meetings follow: Maywood (Roberta Stern, Administrator) Rochelle Park (Bob Davidson, Administrator)
1. Maywood Avenue – “Cannot see bikes [be accommodated] on that road” This is to be repaved in 2015 (County to check on status of paving schedule) Sidewalks have tree root heaving issues
2. Bergen Town Plaza – some employees are reported to walk to work via crossing Spring Valley Avenue)
3. Pleasant Avenue – has excellent traffic calmed facilities, such as the U-Turn areas and curb extensions
4. Commonly used roads that may have ‘more room to work with’ include Central

Essex Passaic/ Paramus Road
5. There is significant pedestrian traffic around the garden apartments 6. The interchange of I-80 presents access conflicts 7. The Market Street bridge is a challenge for fitting in a sidewalk 8. The intersection of Rochelle and Railroad is a priority 9. Lots Lane is a possible access point to the park 10. Shop rite intersection – pedestrian signal enhancements should be prioritized, possible
NO TURN ON RED, Pedestrian Count Down signal heads? 11. Central Avenue – could there be a Rail with Trail option considered?
Elmwood Park (Lisa Swain, Council Woman & Andrea Piazza, Green Team) Fairlawn (Glen Pettigano, Councilman)
1. Berdan Aveune – Council approved Shared Lane Markings to be installed The rail crossing along Berdan Avenue is a conflict area for pedestrians
2. The Borough Engineer is Ken Garrison 3. Elmwood Park is perceived as 22 lanes of major highways 4. River Road – there is a gap in the sidewalk between Willow and Broadway 5. Boulevard is an excellent alternative to other parallel roads, it is very wide 6. 54th may be another possible link to consider 7. Broadway is under NJDOT jurisdiction 8. Morlot Ave at River Road has a memorial for a female police officer who was shot – there
is ongoing litigation about this sight 9. Saddle River Road at Fairlawn Avenue – there is on ongoing County project at this
intersection 10. Plaza – Berdan Avenue to Fairlawn, may be a candidate for a Road Diet 11. Three rail crossings in Elmwood Park:
MolnarDrive Morelot Route 4
Glen Rock (Mark Barrone, Director of Parks and Recreation) Ridgewood (Chris Rutishauser, Village engineer & a Ridgewood representative)
1. All local roads in Ridgewood have a 25 mph speed limit 2. A Roundabout is proposed along West Saddle River Road at Route 17 and one at Kings
Bridge Lane 3. Ridgewood operates the traffic signals, even along County roadways 4. A high priority location for pedestrian enhancements is at the 5 legged intersection at the
train station. This has 2 stops, 1 yield and 1 through approach roadways. 5. West Glen Avenue is a priority to connect the existing gap in the sidewalk 6. Hillcrest Ave – the park is ADA accessible, but there is no sidewalk leading to the park.
Making this connection is a priority.
The RBA Group, Inc. Page 3- July 21, 2014
7. U-Turns out of the school are an issue along Ackerman by Doremus (in Glen Rock) 8. East Ridgewood ave (scheduled for resurfacing in the next 1 – 2 years) would be a
candidate for restricting parking and providing a dedicated bicycle facility to connect the downtown to the park. This could be a bicycle lane striping project.
9. Maple to Railroad, consider using Franklin Ave (jog to the north)

The final meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the Central Bergen Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans was held on Thursday, March 5th, 2015 in the Bergen County Department of Planning offices at One Bergen County Plaza in Hackensack. TAC members, mayors and clerks from the eight municipalities received invitations and were provided with draft maps of conceptual bicycle routes and pedestrian improvements in their respective municipalities in advance of the meeting, along an overall project description. At this meeting, the concepts were discussed in detail to seek concurrence with the proposed recommendations. The project team met with groups of two or three municipalities concurrently to focus on specific geographic areas. 10:00 am – Maywood and Rochelle Park 11:00am – Elmwood Park and Fairlawn 12:00 noon – Glen Rock and Ridgewood The meeting resulted in a set of marked-up maps. As per the direction of the county, recommendations were modified based on the input and priorities expressed by the municipal representatives, as they will be responsible for advancing recommendations for roadways under their jurisdiction. A set of revised maps reflects input from the meeting.
