Description
Restaurant street seating on Grove is making it challenging and unsafe for drivers and pedestrians These small huts make it challenging to see the stop signs or pedestrians trying to cross at the crosswalk More importantly these little hut like structures make it impossible for drivers to pull over and allow ambulances or police to pass Now that the pandemic sanctions are lifted can the city please remove these for safety concerns More cars are out and about as well as people since COVID restrictions are lifted which makes this more dangerous Please look into this ASAP Much Appreciated

The Department of Infrastructure kicked off a Visioning Study for Grove Street in the Spring. The goals of this study are to:
1. Evaluate the tactical/quick-build changes that were implemented on Grove Street between 1st Street and Montgomery Street.
2. Develop a plan for future programming, use, and design for this corridor that balances the City’s traffic safety, sustainability, and placemaking goals with community and business needs and desires.
Please visit the project website, where we will post more information about plans for Grove Street and opportunities to provide feedback.

Hello all. The Grove Street Visioning Study has concluded and the final plan for this area can be found on our website: https://www.jerseycitynj.gov/cms/One.aspx?portalId=6189744&pageId=19428688
The final recommendation is to permanently expand the sidewalk on the west side of Grove Street. When this happens, parklets/structures would no longer be permitted, and instead restaurants could have sidewalk cafes.
At this time, parklets are still allowed as per Municipal Code § 296-7.1. As long as they meet the requirements and pay the required fees, they are allowed to operate in these locations. Quality of Life inspectors, working with the Divisions of Commerce and Transportation, issue summonses or orders to remove the structures if found to be noncompliant.
