Jersey City Council approves redevelopment plans
Central Avenue and the Holland Tunnel area ready for new construction ×
The Jersey Avenue Light Rail Redevelopment Plan area consists of 50 acres bounded by train tracks to the north and the Holland Tunnel to the south anchored by the Lackawanna industrial building.
The Jersey City council made headway with two major redevelopment plans, adopting the Central Avenue Block 2901 Redevelopment Plan as well as amendments to the Jersey Avenue Light Rail Redevelopment Plan.
The first plan will make way for a mixed-use building with 400 public parking spaces and a public plaza as part of a public-private partnership in the Jersey City Heights.

HAMMOND â Search efforts for a missing 12-year-old boy were called off Friday night, with plans to resume on Saturday morning, police said.
Kyrin Carter was reported missing last weekend from a local Best Western hotel where he was staying with family members.
Around 9:15 p.m. Hammond police Lt. Steven Kellogg said the search was called off for the night and nothing had been found. He said multi-agency search efforts will continue Saturday morning.
He said someone had contacted police Friday evening saying they had seen something in the river, prompting a search and dive response.

In a bid to ease traffic congestion, which has become all too familiar to Hoboken’s Southwest and a headache to residents and commuters, Hoboken will pilot a new traffic pattern.
The yearlong pilot aims to give drivers more “green” time while increasing on-street parking and pedestrian safety.
“We are at the final stages of what has been years of trying to improve the southwest,” said John Jahr, the city’s consultant with Bright View Engineering.

NEW BRUNSWICK – Groundbreaking is scheduled next week for the state-of-the-art elementary school to be constructed on Jersey Avenue.
The new three-story, 127,400-square-foot school at 50 Jersey Ave. will house students in grades K-8. The groundbreaking is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The new school will replace Lincoln Annex School, the former St. Peter s High School and Elementary School, which is being demolished for construction of the state s first free-standing cancer hospital.
The demolition should be completed in about a week, said Christopher Paladino, president of New Brunswick Development Corporation or DEVCO, the nonprofit redeveloper for the projects. It will take us another several weeks to get all the debris sorted and off the site, he said. Our plan is to start doing excavation at the site on June 6.
