a new traffic signal will become operational along
Route 440 that will change vehicle access to the
Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor (PABH or formerly “MOTBY”)
and access to the 34th Street LRT commuter

Drive intersection is located approximately 700 feet

440 southbound; and motorists traveling north on Route
440 will be able to right turn onto Port Terminal
Boulevard to access the Peninsula or to make a U-turn
to head southbound on Route 440. Traffic will no
longer be able to cross Route 440 at Prospect Avenue
and Port Terminal Boulevard. These changes will affect
