body

 

WHEREAS, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), has requested to amend the previous Resolution of Support 7R4-a adopted on August 3, 2011, by the City of Newark, for the McCarter Highway/Route 21 Needs Analysis Study - 4 Lane Alternative (copies of the letter and Resolution 7R4-a adopted August 3, 2011 are attached hereto and made a part of this resolution hereof); and

 

WHEREAS, the amendments to McCarter Highway/Route 21 Newark Needs Analysis Study - 4 Lane Alternative Project are as follows:

 

                     Eliminate the construction of a raised median on Route 21 since that space is necessary to accommodate the northbound thru lane during the construction of the Port Authority rail project, and

                     Eliminate construction of the curb and two-foot-wide border area along Route 21 northbound adjacent to the retaining wall since the curb and border materials will be damaged during construction of the Port Authority project.

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, THAT:

 

1.                     The Mayor and/or his designee, the Director of the Department of Engineering, and the Municipal Council are hereby authorized, on behalf of the City of Newark, to support the amendments herewith requested by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) for McCarter Highway/Route 21 Newark Needs Analysis Study - 4 Lane Alternative Project.

 

2.                     No municipal funds are required for this project.

 

 

STATEMENT

 

This resolution hereby authorizes the Mayor and/or his designee, the Director of the Department of Engineering and the Newark Municipal Council, to support the amendments herewith requested by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), for McCarter Highway/Route 21 Newark Needs Analysis Study Project - 4 Lane Alternative Project.
