2022 APA New Jersey Annual Awards Reception [Program]APA-NJ
APA New Jersey was pleased to host its annual awards program on December 15th to honor this year's Great Places in New Jersey designees and Planning Excellence Awards recipients.
Essex Street Gateway Transit Hub (Hackensack, NJ)APA-NJ
The American Planning Association New Jersey Chapter’s Community Planning Assistance Program (CPAP) created a strategic plan for the City of Hackensack focused on the Essex Street Train Station on NJ TRANSIT’s Pascack Valley Line. The work was done in partnership with NJTPA’s Transit Hub Pilot Program.
The Station is in southern Hackensack, blocks from the Hackensack University Medical Center and a large residential area along Summit Avenue and Prospect Street with high-rise apartment buildings and historic single-family homes. East of the station, less than ½ mile away, is the Bergen County Administration buildings and NJ TRANSIT’s bus terminal. North of the station is an older neighborhood of single-family houses and apartment buildings, with mixed manufacturing and light industrial uses, and the city’s high school. The bustling Main Street redevelopment area is within ¾ of a mile.
In early 2019 Habitat for Humanity in Paterson, NJ contacted the APA-NJ chapter to talk about their need for a team of volunteer planners. They wanted to create a concept for a green space along the Passaic River in the Northside Neighborhood of Paterson, NJ. They wanted two types of green space; a walkway along the river, called Riverwalk, and a sports fields in an area along the river dominated by abandoned and marginal industrial and residential properties. The Northside Neighborhood is across the Passaic River from Downtown Paterson.
The Chapter’s Community Planning Assistance Program was invited by Babyland Family Services in Newark’s West Ward to build upon its social service programs to address the growing healthcare disparities and substandard living conditions for families in the West Ward. Babyland Family Services is a not-for-profit, comprehensive family service organization providing programs and resources to families living in and around the lower West Ward of Newark, New Jersey. For more than forty-five years, Babyland has provided a wide array of social services, including one of the first domestic violence shelters in Essex County and a unique foster care program specializing in keeping siblings together. Today, Babyland provides high-quality, affordable childcare and family development programs, including a Family Success Center, parent education classes, supervised visitation for children in the child welfare system and a family violence intervention program.
This summer, the New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA-NJ) partnered with several organizations to create the City Planning Institute, a two-week program in City Planning for 20 public high school students from the cities of Passaic and Paterson. The other partners were with the Center for Community Planning, the New Jersey Community Development Corporation, Passaic County Community College, the Paterson Board of Education and the Passaic Board of Education. The class ultimately created plans for redeveloping a historic 9-story Fabian Building in downtown Paterson as a performing arts facility and community center for the college. See what they learned.
Co-hosted by the American Planning Association - New Jersey Chapter and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning, the New Jersey Planning Conference is an annual two-day conference held at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick always the last Thursday and Friday in January. With over 50 sessions and workshops, the event is the largest land use conference in the state and attracts over 700 attendees representing a vast array of fields including land use professionals, private practitioners, attorneys, issue advocates, elected and appointed officials, municipal staff and citizens that are interested in maintaining and improving a high quality of life for the residents of New Jersey.

The New Jersey Chapter’s CPAP team was invited by the South Ward Children’s Alliance in Newark’s South Ward to support the creation of a community needs assessment that could be used in their efforts to improve public education in the South Ward. The Alliance has become increasingly aware that addressing problems in the community, such as housing, crime and recreation, is a critical part of improving the South Ward’s public schools. The CPAP was asked to support their efforts to identify social issues in the surrounding neighborhoods and how they should be prioritized. The long list of social issues in the area creates unstable environments where education becomes a huge challenge for students. The overarching goal is to create a stable life for students so they can do better in school. A major component of the field work was to work with parents of children in the schools to ensure their points of view. The team conducted a review of data provided by the Alliance, researched additional sources for data, combined them with the views of the parents and produced a final presentation of the work, including maps, data, and results.
While this was a very different kind of project for the team, considering the close link with public education, the team was enthusiastic to do it. Two of the team members brought strong backgrounds in urban public education to the project. The team’s analytical approach provided the Alliance with important information they will use to consider programs to address the neighborhood’s most urgent needs.
The team members were:
• Molly Coon
• Michael Kolber
• Christopher Kok
• Nadia Mian
• Deborah Schulze

A Vision for Revitalizing the French Street Commercial CorridorAPA-NJ
APA-NJ CPAP was invited to New Brunswick by the Esperanza Neighborhood Project and New Brunswick Tomorrow to create a vision plan to enhance the French Street commercial corridor using input and recommendations from community residents, businesses, and shoppers.
The French Streets corridor is located in the heart of New Brunswick near Rutgers University and the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital/University Complex, the train station and other downtown offices. The corridor is about half a mile long and contains mostly small retail businesses that serve a mostly local customer base. The neighborhood has a rich Hispanic/Latin culture and many of the businesses there cater to that market.
The key goals for revitalizing French Street were:
• Beautify and improve Crime,
• Improve pedestrian safety and vehicle flow,
• Improve and create public spaces,
• Reduce crime and loitering, and
• Attract shoppers to the businesses along French Street.
The team conducted a community driven SWOT analysis for the area and extensive outreach and data collection to develop an ambitious set of strategies and recommendations for reaching the goals.

Planner volunteers worked with the Tri-City People's Corporation to develop a strategic plan for this struggling neighborhood in Newark's Central Ward. The community has a long list of challenges, including high crime, significant poverty, troubled schools, inadequate housing, mortgage and tax foreclosures, and little or no strong community organization to steer the strategic plan. Positive aspects of the neighborhood are several organizations with long term commitments to the neighborhood, such as Tri-City Peoples Corporation, many houses of worship willing to support the effort, a beautiful county park at its center, West Side Park, and a growing commercial district along Springfield Avenue, where Home Depot, a movie theater, a newly opened Shop Rite and a several restaurants have opened.
While the team of volunteers investigated the neighborhood and collected data and other information to support their work, they worked closely with the staff at Tri City to create a steering committee, inviting community representatives from various organizations in and around the neighborhood, including several houses of worship, elected officials, and Rutgers School of Criminal Justice in Newark. Organizing the steering committee was a significant effort. The team presented their findings with a list of strategies for continuing to organize the area, and begin to address the more pressing challenges. The first challenge will be to maintain the steering committee, which lacks strong leadership. The long term hope is that the steering committee can maintain the effort, strengthen the community organization, and apply for a planning grant from a foundation to develop a redevelopment plan.

Jewish Renaissance Foundation – Reinvigorating Perth Amboy’s Smith Street APA-NJ
CPAP volunteers were invited to Perth Amboy to work with the public, municipal officials, and business owners to develop strategies for improving the City’s commercial street, Smith Street. The effort was concentrated on the portion of Smith Streets west of the NJ TRANSIT train station. The planning work was carefully coordinated with several other planning efforts that were underway in the area, including a Together North Jersey funded TOD study at the train station and larger area-wide plan funded by the Wells Fargo Regional Foundation. The planning work involved two meetings with the public, a survey or business owners and customers on Smith Streets, and numerous field visits.
Perth Amboy Post Sandy Plans for Rebuilding the Waterfront APA-NJ
CPAP volunteers were asked to review the plans by the City’s engineer for quickly rebuilding the waterfront area along Kill Van Kull and Raritan Bay. The area was badly damaged in the storm, and the city wanted to begin the repairs in time for the 20__ summer season on the waterfront. The volunteers attended a presentation by the engineer to the city officials, then, within several days, delivered a review of the proposals. The review affirmed the majority of the engineer’s proposals, and made some recommendations for making the waterfront more resilient in future storms.
Chapter volunteers participated in a public charette in Seaside Heights on October 29 to support the non-profit, Architecture for Humanity. AfH is working with the community to design a new event center on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights.

AICP members of the APA New Jersey Chapter with a two-year reporting period ending
December 31, 2012 have been given an extension through February 28, 2013 (to
accommodate for our rescheduled conference). This reporting period extension has been
noted on the CM log. All sessions have been approved for AICP CM credits which are
provided per each credit hour for each session.
New Jersey Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits are being
provided for Planning Law sessions through the administration
of the New Jersey Builders Association.
HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE - CONFERENCE PHILANTHROPY
APA-NJ will hold a shoe collection drive throughout the conference to
benefit the charity Soles4Souls. Please join us by cleaning out your
closet and bringing your donation of new or gently worn shoes.
Your Extra Pair Could Be Their First
Your gift of footwear is important to children and adults around the world.
Footwear can help eliminate the spreading of disease through the foot as
well as help children obtain an education, as many schools require
footwear to attend. In addition, used shoes support micro-enterprise
efforts to eradicate poverty in Haiti and other developing countries.
Since 2004, Soles4Souls has delivered over 19 million pairs of shoes in
over 125 countries. Less than 1% of all donations cannot be reused but
do not end up in landfills; these shoes are directed to a waste-to-energy
facility.
So please RECYCLE your footwear at the conference. Learn more at
www.GiveShoes.org.

January 2013
On behalf of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and Rutgers
University, I would like to welcome you to the American Planning Association’s rescheduled
2012 New Jersey Planning Conference. The agenda has been adroitly reshaped in response to
the critical planning imperatives unleashed by SuperStorm Sandy.
The conference has continued to build upon the success of its predecessors, and has become a
full two-day event with a diverse range of topics and activities. For the first time, attendees can
now attend a full day of programs to prepare for the LEED Green Associate designation and
exam, planning law sessions that examine land use decision-making from both practicing legal
and planning perspectives or the ever-popular GIS workshop track.
Friday’s breakout sessions continue the APA’s tradition of providing a great platform for
planning practitioners, scholars, and students of planning to examine many of the issues facing
our communities. From incorporating solar planning at the state and local levels, to sustainable
transit-oriented development, to preparing for climate change, to planning for post-disaster
recovery, and to developing a future-oriented master plan, you’ll find outstanding program
offerings focused on APA’s mission to support and develop planning professionals who are
dedicated to facing these challenges head-on.
Together, the Bloustein School and the APA-New Jersey chapter are committed to providing
opportunities for both professionals and students to examine pertinent issues that come with
continued urbanization in an increasingly difficult global economy, and become agents of
positive change.
I would also like to take the time to thank the many volunteers and sponsors, without whose
assistance this event would not have been possible.
Best regards,
James W. Hughes, Ph.D.

Deltares / WL|Delft Hydraulics, Dr Kwadijk has focused on the topics of
climate change, hydrology, and water and flood management. He was the
coordinator of Delft Hydraulics’ research on hydrology and flood forecasting
from 1997 until 2006. Between 2006 and 2010, he was scientific leader of
climate research activities at WL | Delft Hydraulics/Deltares. He became a
leading scientist in the field of hydrology, climate change impact assessment
and flood forecasting and management. Dr. Kwadijk has published many
highly appreciated scientific papers on these topics. He has also supervised
numerous Ph.D. students, presented his work at many scientific
conferences, and is an invited lecturer at several European universities.
From Crisis Response to Recovery & Preparation
Dr. Laurie A. Johnson, AICP, Johnson Consulting & Research
Laurie Johnson has over 20 years of experience in urban planning
