16 Focus Group Feedback on NJ Transit Phase I Proposals Some of the Focus Group Concerns We Heard Urban Design Concerns about planning process conducted in two stages (Phase I and Full site) Out of scale development Building Height Concerns about taller building vs. medium scale massing recommended in the Hoboken Master Plan Concerns about building shadows on street Not focused on pedestrians Need to provide open feeling entryway to the City Need Great architecture Retail on Hudson Place Parking and Transportation Concerns about additional traffic and parking Bus depot is not attractive Concerns about pedestrian safety Need better integration of pedestrian and bicycle modes Infrastructure and Sustainable Design Concerns about capacity of city infrastructure to accommodate new development Focus on Sustainable Design Are There Any Others That We Missed?
