No 7 Secaucus Extension Final Report - NYCEDC

No. 7 Secaucus ExtensionFeasibility Analysis Final ReportNew JerseyThe western terminus of the No. 7 Secaucus Extension is a proposed expanded No. 7/BusMultimodal Facility at FRL Station, which would include four levels: two lower bus levels, apedestrian concourse level above, and the No. 7 platform above the concourse, which wouldallow passengers to transfer quickly and efficiently between local and express buses, the No. 7,and NJ TRANSIT rail service. Full conceptual plan and section drawings for the expanded No.7/Bus Multimodal Facility are included in Appendix B.The expanded No. 7/Bus Multimodal Facility would be a self-contained steel and concretestructure measuring approximately 460 feet by 630 feet and would sit at grade or slightlyelevated on pile structure. The facility would replace the NJ TRANSIT employee parking lotcurrently on the site and would be bounded by Seaview Drive to the east, the NEC right-of-wayto the north, the NJ TRANSIT Main-Bergen/Pascack Valley Line to the west, and Penhorn Creek tothe south (see Figure 13).Figure 13:Proposed Expanded No. 7/Bus Multimodal Facility FootprintSource: Parsons Brinckerhoff, 2011Improvements to Existing FRL StationThe existing facility includes the NJ TRANSIT Main-Bergen/Pascack Valley Line with the tracks atgrade level and the east-west NEC elevated tracks, which pass over the NJ TRANSIT Main-Bergen/Pascack Valley Line. Movement between the two sets of tracks is via the MainConcourse, which is above the NEC (see Figures 14 through 16).29
