About the Plan
Welcome!
Welcome to the project website for The Curb Reimagined, Hoboken's Curbside Mobility and Parking Action Plan. Phase 1 community engagement is now complete, and the survey and interactive map have been closed. We collected 1,000+ survey responses and 250+ interactive map comments!
We now invite you to participate in the Phase 2 survey and share your thoughts about some of the top recommendations and strategies that have emerged throughout this planning process. Select the Phase 2 Community Survey tab above to begin!
Foundations Report
What is the curbside?
The curbside (also known as the curb lane) is the space on the street immediately adjacent to the curb. This is a public space with many potential uses, such as loading and unloading, bus stops, passenger pick-up and drop-off, bicycling, and outdoor dining, in addition to parking. Especially in dense, urban places like Hoboken, space at the curbside is in high demand from many people, businesses, and groups. Some say that "double-parking is a way of life" in Hoboken, but chaos at the curb doesn't benefit anyone.
The graphic below shows some potential uses of the curbside:

Active management of the curbside helps to manage all these competing needs and create space for everyone. We want your help to create a plan to better manage our curbside space. We are taking a look at how the curbside is managed today in Hoboken and making a plan for how it can adapt to meet the needs of everyone and advance our city goals. Together, we can create a curbside that works—one that is safe, efficient, and supports our values.
In addition to looking at the curbside, we are taking a broader look at parking and mobility for all modes in Hoboken to understand how our transportation systems can be improved. Through this plan, we will develop strategies to align the management of Hoboken's curb space with our goals for safety and mobility.
