Project Profile

Pleasantville Transit Village Enhancement, Pleasantville City

Phase II of the Pleasantville Transit Village Enhancement Project was awarded through NJDOT Local Aid’s FY2015 Transit Village grant program. This phase included streetscape improvements on the north side of Washington Avenue between Downtown Pleasantville (N. Main Street) and 2nd Street, just one block north of the Pleasantville Bus Terminal. The City of Pleasantville also received a Transit Village Grant in 2013 for similar streetscape improvements on 1st Street. This Phase II project will connect the 1st Street improvements with Downtown Main Street and additional streetscape improvements being completed by the developer of nearby City Center, a new construction apartment community.
