New Jersey Transit held two public hearings on the planned Hudson-Bergen Light Rail extension into Bergen County on April 24. The project would add seven new stops to the existing service, all north along a 10-mile CSX railroad right of way, between 91st Street in North Bergen and Englewood Hospital and Medical Center.
New rail cars are scheduled to begin rolling on the Blue Line on Monday morning (May 1). The Kinkisharyo P3010 cars have to date been used on the Gold Line and Expo Line, where they share track with older rail cars.
NJ Transit still plans to push forward with seven new light rail stations in Hudson and Bergen Counties, even with possible federal transportation cuts under the Donald Trump administration.
Seventeen years after the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail first began operations in Jersey City; we are finally on the brink of extending that highly successful light rail line into Bergen County.
A study has finally been published about extending Hudson-Bergen Light Rail to Bergen County, which residents can comment about at an April 24 hearing in Englewood and during a 60-day public comment period.
