Jersey City just approved its first protected bike lane in The Heights 🚲
The City Council voted 8–1 to add a two-way protected bikeway on Franklin Street (Palisade Ave → Central Ave), funded by an NJDOT grant.
The plan includes safer crosswalks, curb extensions, and a connection to Pershing Field Park. Franklin Street will become a westbound one-way, with eastbound traffic shifted to nearby streets.
Construction is expected to start this fall.
