Waterfront Redevelopment Project Report No. 2: Available Options
The second in a series on redevelopment of the Hoboken, N.J., waterfront, this report examines available options for short and long - term redevelopment of the waterfront. The advantages and disadvantages of various alternative schemes are considered, and ideas that were researched and rejected, together with the reasons for their elimination, are also included. Existing conditions (1977) of property and employment on the waterfront are described, and recent events that have been held in the waterfront area are discussed as examples of how the waterfront currently can be used without radical change. It is noted that waterfront tourism cannot be cultivated only by single, unique events which have characterized waterfront usage in recent years. There must be regularly scheduled tourist attractions publicized in advance. One attractive tourism plan incorporates various recreational and historical sites into a package presentation. Advantages and disadvantages of alternative uses of the waterfront are discussed including the following: industrial land use, foreign trade zone, oil and gas off - shore exploration facilities, shipping, industrial firms now on the waterfront, commercial land use, commercial buildings, medical complex, convention center, movie studios, residential land use, recreational land use, rooftops and vacant areas, park settings, marina, and private clubs. Ideas for implementing and controlling various development plans are discussed. All government levels should be involved in redevelopment plans. State and Federal influences on implementation, governmental mechanisms for execution, the involvement of county governments, councils of government, new regional governments, and specific mechanisms for implementation are considered. Ingredients of an urban waterfront planning and control system also are examined. Tabular and graphic data obtained in the study are included; the appendices contain an urban waterfront policy for N.J. and an attitude assessment survey.
