This project will generally consist of the addition of approximately 1.25 miles of new bicycle and shared use lane mileage along Carteret Avenue between Jackson Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue (CR602). The bike lanes will be designed in accordance with the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities and the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide. We are pleased to report that the Borough is the recipient of a $400,000 NJDOT FY2022 Municipal Aid Grant to fund these improvements. Special attention will be paid to the restriping of existing streets and working with the Borough to develop distinctive wayfinding signage throughout the project limits. We anticipate the existing striping on these roads will be removed by grinding and will be replaced to include a combination of treatments including a Bike Boulevard with shared bike lane "sharrows ", dedicated bike lanes, and shared lanes. Also included with this project will be raised crosswalks, appropriate bikeway signage, wayfinding signage and other associated improvements, such as bike racks. It is not anticipated that paving and concrete improvements will be included in the scope of this project. With this being said, we anticipate that the following tasks will be required: A) Design Phase Services — We will prepare a base map to be utilized during the design phase services. The base map will include Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping along with supplemental information, as necessary, to prepare construction plans. This work will also consist of the preparation of construction plans and quantities.
