It would be nice if they made the connection between Pacific and the path through Berry Lane park, at least. In my experience, these days, drivers can't really get up much speed on most stretches of Communipaw, so it feels a little less dangerous.

I biked Communipaw yesterday. Not pleasant and not safe for kids or inexperienced riders. Definitely wide enough for a bike lane and would go a long way toward connecting the west side with downtown and several parks: Berry Lane Park, Lafayette Park and city swimming pool, and Liberty State Park. I can’t imagine any of the kids on my block getting to the pool without a car even though it’s only a mile a way (a 5 min bike ride).

I know Jersey City and that area from my years of work on and for the New Jersey Turnpike and the Authority. The bridges are my charge! However, having not been down there in a few years, the relative location of Pacific Avenue to Communipaw Avenue is kind of hard to visualize. Does ANYONE have an Overall Map of the Bicycle Routes, existing and proposed, in the City?! PLEASE?!

Here's a (slightly out of date) map of protected bike lanes in JC: https://bikejc.github.io/maps?l=wb

In the settings in the lower right of that page, you can also toggle a layer showing the "Bike Master Plan" that was passed by the planning board in 2019: https://bikejc.github.io/maps?l=wbp

I also just put the Bike Master Plan PDF onto a webpage for easier browsing; you can see the full proposed map here: https://bikejc.github.io/bike-master-plan/#map

The data for the maps above mostly came from the city's ArcGIS; this map contains unprotected bike lanes, this one contains bike parking locations. They're also not totally up-to-date.

I'll hopefully be helping update and develop all this further in the next couple months, as I have some time off from work.
