Featured Projects. Hoboken Master Plan Re-Examination and Land Use Element Hoboken, New Jersey The City of Hoboken, New Jersey retained BFJ Planning in 2017 to prepare a full Master Plan Re-Examination Report. Under State law, New Jersey municipalities are required to re-examine their master plans at least every 10 years. Although Hoboken had conducted a Re-Examination Report in 2010, the City had experienced significant land use and economic changes that required developing a comprehensive vision for ensuring orderly growth and development patterns and a sustainable future, while preserving its historic and cultural assets that make Hoboken a special and attractive place. As part of the project, the City also undertook preparation of a new Land Use Element to set the stage for a significant zoning code update. Many of the zoning recommendations from the Element were subsequently adopted. BFJ Planning also recently worked with the City on a follow up project to amend the official zoning map and make it more accessible for print and online use. The Re-Examination and Land Use Element project incorporated substantial public engagement to understand the concerns and needs of various stakeholders, including small business owners; community organizations; developers; social service providers; mobility organizations; and City staff, boards, and commissions. The project was a 2019 New Jersey Future Smart Growth Award winner. Client City of Hoboken Year 2018

Featured Projects. Image: MUD Workshop Image: MUD Workshop Sullivan County Resiliency Project Sullivan County, NY Resilience has become an umbrella term for the planning and design strategies needed to help communities meet the economic, social, and environmental challenges of the future. Climate change and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events associated with it are the challenges most associated with the concept of resiliency and generally take a prominent position in any resiliency plan. The Resilient Sullivan plan applied a broad array of community concerns typically addressed in a comprehensive plan to address the economic, social, and environmental resilience of the County’s communities. BFJ Planning assisted MUD Workshop with targeted content for the Resilient Sullivan planning process, including analysis of the existing County-wide roadway and circulation systems, as well as recommendations for more resilient County-wide utilities and infrastructure. Example recommendations include: Conduct a grid capacity evaluation for increasing electricity demand; Support electrification of County facilities; Explore alternatives for solid waste options; Improve telecommunications and internet access; Install a network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for the County fleet.

Featured Projects. Princeton University Princeton, New Jersey Overview BFJ has been the transportation and parking consultant for Princeton University since 1988 when we prepared a traffic impact analysis for a new garage in the Engineering Quad and assisted in its functional design. The garage, designed by Machado and Silvetti Associates, received an AIA Honor Award. More recently, we analyzed traffic impacts associated with the new Arts and Transit neighborhood on the western portion of the campus and we prepared a long-term parking and traffic circulation plan associated with the new Lake Campus located in the Township of West Windsor across from Lake Carnegie. Long Term Traffic and Circulation Plan In the 1990s BFJ prepared a traffic and circulation plan for the university to mitigate traffic impacts associated the West Campus Garage. The plan included the design of two modern roundabouts to ease congestion at critical intersections on Faculty Road and Elm Drive. These roundabouts were the first modern roundabouts built in the State of New Jersey. Transportation Master Plan Between 2006 and 2008 BFJ worked with Princeton University and Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners to develop the transportation element of the 2016 Princeton Campus Plan. The transportation element addressed traffic, pedestrian and bicycle circulation, bus service, parking and truck circulation and loading. As part of this work, BFJ developed a parking model for the campus, allowing the university to monitor and forecast parking demand. This work also led to the first Transportation Demand Management (TDM) initiatives for the campus including an expansion of the bicycle infrastructure and shuttle system. The Master Plan received the 2008 Honor Award for Excellence in Planning presented by the Society for College and University Planning and the American Institute of Architects. Arts and Transit Neighborhood Plan Following the publication of the Master Plan, the university embarked on an effort to rezone the western portion of the campus near the Dinky train station and McCarter Theater to create the new Arts and Transit neighborhood anchored by the future Lewis Center for the Arts and a new relocated train station. BFJ provided the transportation planning support for both the rezoning effort and the site plan application for the new neighborhood. The firm was responsible for the analysis of the traffic impacts of the proposed plan and for the development of transportation mitigation measures. As part of this project, BFJ analyzed all access modes and assisted the design team in analyzing current access to the station and mitigating relocation impacts. This work included geo-coding rail users by access mode, assessing the impacts of various transit strategies, developing bicycle improvement plans and designing the proposed transit plaza. The adopted plan included the construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of Alexander Street and University Place – resolving one of the worst bottlenecks in Princeton – and upgrading numerous bicycle facilities in the neighborhood and improvement of local bus service. 2026 Princeton University Campus Plan Starting in 2016 BFJ worked with the Urban Strategies group on the plan for the campus development through 2026 and beyond. The goal was to create a flexible, revisable framework to guide the development of the campus and accommodate a significant increase of Princeton’s undergraduate student body. This very ambitious plan laid the foundation of the campus expansion into the Township of West Windsor across from Lake Carnegie – the creation of Lake Campus. BFJ’s role was to assist the team in developing the circulation element of the new campus, projecting future parking demands and preparing a comprehensive traffic impact study submitted to the municipality as part of the approval process. BFJ also developed pedestrian and bicycle forecasts for a planned pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Lake Carnegie. The 2026 Campus Plan also led to the planning and development of the Environmental Studies and School of Engineering and Applied Science buildings, a new soccer stadium and practice field and a 1,500-space parking garage on East Campus. BFJ worked with the SOM and Ennead teams on these initiatives to design the circulation system and undertake the necessary transportation impact studies to obtain the approvals from the municipality of Princeton. Princeton Forrestal Campus Transportation Studies The Princeton Forrestal Center located in the Township of Plainsboro includes a large office park, several residential developments, the Princeton Forrestal Village and several academic and research buildings, including the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. BFJ undertook a major TDM study for the Forrestal Center with the goal to reduce overall traffic and parking loads and increase mobility options for the employees in the center. A key concern of the companies located in the Forrestal Center was related to their ability to attract the younger, educated work force to work in the Forrestal Center. This assignment included focus group meetings with the major employers, user surveys and the creation of TDM strategies tailored to the Forrestal Center. BFJ also undertook a major traffic impact study of the Forrestal Campus expansion to assist the University in gaining approval for a 20-year General Development Plan. This study included the feasibility and impact analysis of a major new roadway connection in the center of the corporate campus. Client Princeton University Year 1988 - Present

Featured Projects. Edison Township Master Plan Edison, NJ BFJ’s Edison Township Master Plan was unanimously adopted by the Planning Board in 2024. It had been more than 20 years since the Township developed a full Master Plan, and a lot had occurred during the intervening period. The Plan incorporated new county, region, and statewide planning initiatives which gave reason to reassess Edison’s needs and the direction in which future growth must proceed. Edison Township is a diverse community of over 100,000 people covering approximately 30 square miles in Middlesex County, New Jersey. With excellent access to the regional roadway network, Edison has become a regionally and nationally significant warehousing, manufacturing, and distribution hub for commercial goods. However, the proliferation of these uses has caused the community to experience a significant amount of congestion and other quality of life issues. Those major roadways and highways, along with rail lines, and transmission lines, have physically divided the community. Without a core downtown, Edison’s commercial areas are generally strip malls along busy roads that are not safe for pedestrians or cyclists, The new 2024 Master Plan provides Edison with actionable recommendations to adress these quality of life issues and knit the community back together. The plan evaluates opportunities to improve commercial corridors with better design and pedestrian amenities that will help to link surrounding neighborhoods to commercial areas. Potential future redevelopment areas are identifed, including for transit-oriented-development at the Edison Train station. Additional recommendations will help Edison meet its New Jersey Fair Share housing obligation, improve the efficiency and safety of roadways, expand public access to the Raritan River, and address climate change vulnerabilities to improve Edison’s resilience.

Featured Projects. Mamaroneck Zoning Text and Map Amendments Generic Environmental Impact Statement Mamaroneck, New York In 2012, the Town of Mamaroneck retained BFJ Planning to prepare a State Quality Environmental Review (SEQR) Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS) in connection with proposed amendments to the Town’s Zoning Code and Map. The Town proposed to amend its Business districts to allow for new residential and mixed-use development, in order to promote a mixed-use environment along the Town’s commercial corridors, as well as to expand opportunities for fair and affordable housing. The DGEIS consisted of several technical analyses and evaluations of potential impacts resulting from new mixed use development, including traffic, socioeconomic and community facilities and services. A soft site analysis was conducted to determine the estimated number of new residential units that could be created under the proposed amendments to the Business districts and the potential impacts that could result under a resonable worst case scenario. The zoning amendments were adopted by the Town in 2013. Client Year 2012
