NJSPE December Continuing Education Webinar

Friday, December 8, 2023

9am - 12pm

The New Jersey Society of Professional Engineers Continuing Education Webinar series brings the top professionals and hot topics in our field right to your desktop. 

This course centers on two primary subjects within the scope of fender system design: design energy and fender panel design. Initially, it explores the principles involved in calculating the berthing energy of vessels. This step holds paramount importance in the overall fender design process. The subsequent section of the course is dedicated to the intricacies of designing fender panels. It covers various aspects such as components incl. accessories, different scenarios such as multiple fender contact, panel structure and includes best practices and hands-on examples. A consistent theme throughout the course is the holistic approach to fender system design. This approach encompasses all facets of the project, including components, manufacturing, project conditions, and goes beyond the boundaries of rubber production.

Historic Witherspoon Street is located within Princeton’s Central Business District (CBD) and is considered the municipal “Main Street” of Princeton. Last improved in the prior century, the roadway corridor focused on vehicle use and parking; sidewalks were narrow and street trees were limited. Improvements were needed to reimagine the street as a downtown main street. Princeton’s community vision was to create a vibrant pedestrian environment while still accommodating business patrons and operations. This project, extending from Nassau Street (Route 27) to Green Street, is the first of three phases to improve the corridor. After sixteen months of community engagement, over twenty design concepts, and coordination of highway intersection improvements with the New Jersey Department of Transportation, Princeton adopted a design which converts a portion of the roadway into a one-way pedestrianized space. The southern roadway section from Nassau to Spring Street was converted from a two-way 40’ wide vehiclecentric street into a 12’ one-way street with a 10’ service lane; concrete pavers are used on both the road and sidewalk to convey that this is a community space. Wider sidewalks accommodate outdoor dining, enhanced landscaping, and furnishings for a comfortable pedestrian experience. A reduced speed limit, mid-block raised crosswalk, and a curb extension at Spring Street serve to calm traffic. Green infrastructure elements include urban tolerant trees, landscaping, and concrete pavers with porous joints to improve flood and energy resiliency. North of Spring Street, the original two-way traffic pattern is maintained and curb extensions, wider sidewalks and an exclusive pedestrian traffic signal phase at Paul Robeson Place further enhance pedestrian safety. The resulting design preserves the best of Princeton, improves the pedestrian experience, and facilitates opportunities for a desirable and sustainable CBD with a promenade feel and a flexible space that complements the historic roadway’s characteristics.

2023 Election Recap

Overview

Democrats will continue to control the Senate by a margin of 25-15 and the Assembly by a margin of 51-29. They currently control the Senate by a 25-15 majority and the Assembly by a 46-34 majority. All 120 legislative seats were up this year. This was the first election cycle under the new map following redistricting, giving Republicans what appeared to be their first chance at getting within striking distance of the majority in several years. However, Democrats had a particularly strong night flipping 5 Assembly seats. 

In addition to the hotly contested races listed below, it is worth noting that the new Legislature will see a substantial number of new faces, due to dozens of retirements and Assembly members moving up to the Senate this year.

Here is a breakdown where NJ Democrats gained seats in the Assembly:

In the 3rd district, Republicans Bethanne McCarthy and Thomas Tedesco, Jr. lost their races to Democrats Heather Simmons and Dave Bailey, Jr. The race was close at the Assembly level, with the Republicans losing by less than 1,000 votes.

In the 11th district (which was split with Democrat Senator Vin Gopal and Republican Assemblywomen Marilyn Piperno and Kim Eulner), Democrats swept all three seats. Gopal beat Republican challenger Stephen Dnistrian by nearly 20 points, helping to carry his running mates Margie Donlon and Luanne Peterpaul to convincing victories over Piperno and Eulner.

The final loss for Republicans was in the 30th district. While Republican Senator Rob Singer won a completely lopsided victory against Democrat Stephen Dobbins (approximately 80% to 20%), one of his running mates, Assemblyman Ned Thomson, lost by about 10,000 votes to Democrat Avi Schnall. Thomson’s Assembly running mate, Sean Kean, won convincingly with 40% of the vote, 10 points ahead of Schnall. Therefore, the Assembly will revert to its pre-2021 composition of 51 Democrats to 29 Republicans.
