Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), Bergen County, NJ
Project Director of an Environmental Impact Statement and Conceptual
Engineering for a planned new light rail service in Bergen County.

EIS. The project includes analysis of a new two track DMU rail line,
ten stations, a yard, bridge rehabilitations and C&S to create a service
every 15-minutes during peak periods in this corridor.
