"The CLEAR pilot highlighted improvements in safety and provided valuable data about how enforcement and curb management affect mobility and access along downtown Washington Street,"
"At the same time, I have heard a wide range of feedback from residents and businesses, including some input about aspects of the program that did not work as well."
"I was shocked at how transformational the change was and how quickly it worked. For the first time that I've lived in Hoboken, the bike lanes are finally usable."
The three-month CLEAR pilot used overhead cameras on eight blocks of Washington Street between Eighth Street and Observer Highway to catch drivers who double-parked and blocked bike and bus lanes. The pilot reduced bike-lane blockage by nearly 22 hours per day and cut bus-stop obstruction by about 11 hours daily. Retail data indicated increased foot traffic and easier deliveries along the commercial strip. The program significantly improved bike-lane usability and curb management. The pilot has lapsed and city leadership declined to commit to reviving CLEAR, citing mixed feedback from residents and businesses.
