Complete Streets Technical Assistance

FY 2026 Program

Four municipalities will receive technical assistance:

Fort Lee will conduct a Complete Streets corridor assessment focused on a half-mile segment of Main Street in the heart of the borough’s central business district. The assessment will document existing conditions, explore potential improvements, and develop recommendations to enhance safety and accessibility for people walking, biking, driving, and using transit, while also identifying opportunities to reduce stormwater runoff along the busy corridor. 

Leonia Borough will conduct a Complete Streets neighborhood assessment to identify appropriate locations for traffic calming and safety improvements. The assessment will focus on local north–south roads and other areas impacted by significant cut-through traffic related to the borough’s proximity to the George Washington Bridge. The project will document existing conditions, engage local stakeholders, and develop recommendations to improve safety for residents, pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. 

Pompton Lakes will conduct a Complete Streets corridor and neighborhood assessment along Wanaque Avenue in the borough’s downtown center. The assessment will explore opportunities to improve safety, walkability, bicycle access, stormwater resilience, and overall downtown vitality. The project will document existing conditions, engage community stakeholders, and develop recommendations that reflect the unique needs and character of Pompton Lakes. 

Ship Bottom will develop a bicycle corridor plan to explore cycling route alternatives to Long Beach Boulevard, the primary north–south roadway through the borough. The plan will develop bike improvement recommendations and will place particular emphasis on wayfinding and signage to guide visitors, seasonal residents, and bicycle commuters to the best routes.
