Plainfield Presentation - Plainfield West

NJIT graduate architecture students are developing how to improve retail and residential areas near two rail stations on the NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line in Plainfield this semester. Both stations will experience increased usage with the completion of a second tunnel beneath the Hudson River, the Access to the Regions Core project (ARC).
The primary geographic focus of the project will be the areas surrounding the Citys two existing stations—Plainfields Downtown Station, and the one at Netherwood. The students will also consider the area surrounding a closed station in the citys West End. While the study will examine the impacts of future transit-oriented development on these areas, it will also consider the impact of any changes on Plainfields downtown, its neighborhoods and its unique regional setting.
