Summary
The Hudson County Board adopted public‑hearing ordinances regulating traffic-calming and parking/loading zones in Jersey City and Hoboken and introduced an ordinance to appropriate funds for 2026 road and bridge improvements; commissioners discussed related grant and bond figures as read in the meeting record.
At the Hudson County Board meeting commissioners completed hearings and final votes on multiple ordinances and introduced a funding ordinance for 2026 road and bridge improvements.
The board introduced an ordinance providing for 2026 road and bridge improvements and, as read in the meeting record, appropriating $12,000,500 with state grants cited in the aggregate at $9,310,826 and an authorization to issue $3,077,393 in bonds or notes to finance part of the cost. (These figures were presented verbally at the meeting; consult official county records for exact, final amounts.)
The board held public hearings and took final adoption on three ordinances addressing local traffic and parking: an amendment to the administrative code to establish traffic-calming devices on Hoboken Avenue and Central Avenue in Jersey City (adopted after hearing), an ordinance regulating parking on Central Avenue and Oakland Avenue (adopted), and a loading-zone regulation on Hudson Street in Hoboken (adopted). Commissioners recorded affirmative votes during roll call for the hearings and final adoptions.
A commissioner noted a change to a prior vote (one commissioner requested an abstention be recorded instead of a prior "yes"). Commissioners also asked that copies of a supporting resolution urging New Jersey legislators on a separate matter be sent to Hudson County's legislative delegation and state leaders.
What happens next: The ordinance to appropriate road and bridge funds was introduced (first reading); adopted ordinances will be implemented according to their stated effective dates and county staff will follow up on coordination with municipal departments.
