Kennedy Boulevard, the deadliest road in Hudson County, is getting some safety upgrades.

The improvements — which include high-visibility crosswalks, sidewalk upgrades and the installation of rumble strips — to the county road will be unveiled Saturday at a community meeting, West Side Community Alliance President Jodi Drennan said.

Hudson County engineers will be give a presentation on the work to be performed on the main drag between Communipaw and Sip avenues, Drennan said. The event will be at the Hank Gallo Room in Lincoln Park at 11 a.m. It is free and open to all.

“If you walk these sidewalks, these are the improvements you have been waiting for," Drennan wrote in an email to members of the community group.

Kennedy Boulevard, a four-lane road that runs from 92th Street in North Bergen to the tip of Bayonne, is considered the state’s eighth deadliest road. There were 4,069 crashes along the boulevard’s 13.5-mile length from 2014 to 2016, resulting in 12 deaths, 12 incapacitating injuries and 1,107 moderate injuries, according to a North Jersey Transportation Planning Association (NJTPA) study.

The project, which is slated to begin in the spring, will also include improvements to traffic lights, pavement resurfacing, curb improvements, and high-friction surfacing on Kennedy Boulevard curves between Duncan Avenue and Montgomery Street; and Fairmount and Communipaw avenues.

Driver feedback signs showing a vehicle’s speed will be installed on the boulevard in the areas of Lincoln Park and Duncan Avenue, and center line rumble strips are to be added between Fairview and Glenwood avenues and to the intersection at Stuyvesant Avenue, the county said.

Safe Streets JC, which has been a driving force for traffic safety initiatives, will also give a presentation at the meeting on changes it has been pressing for all over Jersey City.

Hudson County conducted a road safety audit on the portion of the boulevard in the area of Fairmont Avenue after the death of Stephen Clifford, 24, who was struck by an off-duty police officer in April of 2013, Safe Streets JC’s Kara Hrabosky said.

Hudson County spokesman James Kennelly said a contractor has not yet been chosen for the project, which is still in the bidding process.

The county is also working on plans for safety changes along the entire 13.5-mile length of Kennedy Boulevard and has conducted “walkability audits” on four segments of the roadway.

The study focused on segments of Kennedy Boulevard between Gates and Danforth avenues in Jersey City, 37th and 43rd streets in Union City and North Bergen, 26th to 32nd streets in Bayonne, and between Hague and 10th streets in Jersey City, Union City and North Bergen, Kennelly said.

Participants walked the sections of roadway, made observations regarding traffic and pedestrian conditions, spoke to people in the area and discussed their observations for potential safety recommendations.

John F. Kennedy Boulevard Safety Corridor study is also underway. The corridor study began in June 2018 and is expected to provide comprehensive safety recommendations by June.
