Tenafly, NJ-Nonbinding Question #1
Type: Nonbinding Referendum
Summary:
In a non-binding referendum, voters will be asked whether New Jersey Transit should re-establish service into and out of Tenafly.
Ballot Language:
Should New Jersey Transit re-establish passenger rail service into and out of Tenafly?
INTERPRETIVE STATEMENT
New Jersey Transit has proposed the restoration of passenger rail service to the Borough of Tenafly as part of its Northern Branch Corridor Project. New Jersey Transit has announced that its preferred method is Electric Light Rail to and from Tenafly. The proposed rail service will connect Tenafly to Hudson County and will provide connections to New York at Weehawken, Hoboken, and Jersey City. Tenafly has not had any type of scheduled passenger rail service since the 1960’s.
It is important to keep in mind that the Mayor and Council will not have official authority to decide whether or not this project will proceed. That final decision-making authority rests with New Jersey Transit and the Federal Transportation Administration. For that reason, the results of this referendum must be understood to be non-binding and for informational purposes only.
A “yes” answer to this question means that you would be in favor of New Jersey Transit offering passenger rail service as another form of public transportation to and from Tenafly.
A “no” answer to this question means that you would be against New Jersey Transit offering passenger rail service as another form of public transportation to and from Tenafly.
