Abstract:Opened to traffic in December 2000, the “missing section” of the Route 21 Freeway in Clifton and Passaic (Hope Ave. to the Route 46 Interchange) was designed utilizing the “equivalent” to the Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) approach at that time and will be used herein for the evaluation of the success of the project in fulfilling its goals. A great deal of planning and design work was done to enhance the quality and appearance of this roadway and to maximize positive impacts on and for the surrounding communities.
