Hasbrouck Heights outlines multiple road and park projects after receiving state and county grants
Summary
Engineer Neglia reported the borough received and pursued several grants — including a $259,121 NJDOT municipal aid award and two Bergen County park grants — to fund road resurfacing, ADA curb ramps and park equipment at Woodland and Miers parks.
The Hasbrouck Heights governing body heard a detailed engineer ccounting of road and park projects on Dec. 16, 2025. Neglia Group said the borough has active and recently funded projects ranging from roadway milling and resurfacing to park equipment and ADA curb-ramp construction.
Neglia reported a FY2025 NJDOT municipal aid award of $259,121 for roadway improvements (Baldwin Avenue and related segments) and a FY2025 NJDOT grant of $228,060 for Kipp Avenue Phase II design and construction. The firm also cited a 2025 Bergen County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) award of $103,988 for Berkshire Road improvements, covering asphalt milling and resurfacing, ADA curb ramp reconstruction and spot curb and sidewalk repairs.
On parks, Neglia said the borough was awarded $100,000 through the Bergen County Municipal Park Improvement Program to install accessible exercise equipment at Woodland Park, and that two previously awarded county park grants totaling $112,750 were reallocated to Miers Park for new playground equipment and pavilion replacement. Neglia also reported repurposing $68,000 in Local Recreation Improvement grant funds to support Woodland Park equipment; the deadline to use those funds was stated as April 30, 2026.
The engineer—irm described Cleveland Avenue and Collins/Washington/Wood street municipal aid projects as substantially complete with punch-list work ongoing and noted Bergen County mobilized contractors on June 16, 2025 to construct remaining ADA curb ramps along Terrace Avenue.
Neglia also summarized conceptual work on a potential new Department of Public Works facility, said an earlier federal Resilient Communities Program (RCP) grant application was denied, and that a FY25 congressional appropriation request of $3.5 million for the DPW reconstruction preliminary phase had been submitted to Congressman Pascrell—or consideration.
The borough will receive periodic status updates from the engineer as the projects proceed.
