The city council voted to ban street parking on two streets to pave the way for expanded bike lanes.

Jersey City’s bike lane network will soon expand after the city council approved the removal of parking along two local streets. As Mark Koosau writes in the Hudson Reporter, the council passed two ordinances aimed at filling gaps in the city’s bike infrastructure.
“Two new ordinances will ban parking on the west side of Marin Boulevard from 18th Street to the Hoboken border, as well as banning it on both sides of Newark Avenue from Chestnut Avenue to Brunswick Street, which is the section of the road that connects Journal Square to Downtown.” The new rules make way for additional bike lanes that will connect Jersey City and Hoboken and connect Brunswick Street to Columbus Drive.
Residents present at the city council meeting thanked the council for the move, saying it would help create “critical missing links” in the local bike network.
