I’ve been looking through Jersey City’s plan for on-street bicycle facilities. The plan was made public in 2012. It serves as the blueprint for ~60-miles of bike lanes and sharrows that Mayor Fulop has pledged to implement by mid-2014, apparently with a few changes.

Bikas is continuing our series examining Jersey City’s bicycle facility plan. I recently finished bicycling each of the streets designated to receive bike lanes or sharrows during re-surfacing in summer 2013, and confirmed that, though most of the streets have already been re-surfaced, none of the new bicycle facilities have been implemented yet.
