Residents can also submit written comments or questions to Cathleen Wolf, AICP PP, Principal Planner, at 94 Washington St., Hoboken, NJ 07030, or via email at [email protected].

Rebuild by Design overnight work on uptown Bloomfield Street Thursday

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), in coordination with Veolia and the Hoboken water utility, will perform overnight work on Bloomfield Street between 14th and 15th Streets from 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, through 6 a.m. Friday, Feb. 20. 
 
Crews will reconnect a section of a 16-inch water main as part of the Rebuild by Design Resist - North project, which must be conducted overnight because it requires a water shutoff to several businesses, including a doctor's office and a daycare facility, that would otherwise need to close during a daytime outage. Impacted customers will be contacted by the contractor prior to the shutdown. 

Please be advised that construction noise is likely during this overnight work, however, crews will limit activity to only what is necessary.
