The City of Hoboken’s popular Summer Streets program is returning for July and August this summer. The program will continue to provide additional space for residents to enjoy a vehicle-free Sinatra Drive between 4th Street and Hudson Street and Sinatra Drive North from Sinatra Drive to 12th Street on Sundays in July and August from 8 AM to 6 PM.
Since the Open Streets and Summer Streets programs were launched in 2020, the City of Hoboken has provided vehicle-free access to streets for bicyclists and pedestrians for recreation and socialization. In April 2021, the City surveyed 1,472 residents about their Summer Streets and Open Streets preferences and experiences. The survey results showed a majority supported continuing the program in some form, and it should prioritize additional space for recreation and socialization and improve safety and comfort for pedestrians.
This year, Sinatra Drive, from 4th Street to Hudson Street, will be completely closed to vehicular traffic on the following Sundays in July and August from 8 AM to 6 PM. No parking will be permitted from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Summer Streets along Sinatra Drive complements the City’s ongoing effort to upgrade multi-modal connections on Sinatra Drive between 4th Street and Hudson Street through the Sinatra Drive Redesign project. That project is using a $1.2 million in New Jersey Department of Transportation funding to improve access, connectivity, and safety through Vision Zero and complete street strategies. To learn more about the Sinatra Drive Redesign, go to www.hobokennj.gov/SinatraDriveRedesign.
While Summer Streets in Hoboken existed before the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of space for residents to enjoy outdoor recreation and socialization in densely populated urban areas similar to Hoboken justified launching several programs focused on temporarily repurposing street space for those activities since May 2020. Those programs included Open Streets, Slow Streets, Summer Streets, and Streets for Dining. To learn more, visit NACTO’s Streets for Pandemic Response and Recovery Page.
Summer Streets are also part of the City of Hoboken’s Vision Zero initiative to eliminate all traffic-related deaths and fatalities in Hoboken by 2030. To learn more about Vision Zero, visit vzhoboken.com.
