Please also consider completing this survey to provide feedback on the City’s ongoing COVID-19 related safety measures in our business districts. In an effort to help our business community through the COVID-19 pandemic, N Union St. will be made one-way heading north between Bridge St. and Coryell St. on a temporary, 3-week basis beginning Friday, August 14th. Traffic will travel down the middle of N Union St. and parking will remain available on both sides of the street. At the end of 3 weeks, the City and business community will evaluate if the one-way traffic has been beneficial for both public safety and businesses, and determine whether or not to continue with one-way traffic or resume two-way traffic during the public health crisis. The decision to make N Union St. one-way for a temporary period was made after a recommendation from the Delaware River Towns Chamber of Commerce and several weeks of discussion with the business community, including weekly Zoom calls, one-on-one conversations with business owners on N Union, and email outreach. More changes will be made to our downtown business response to COVID-19. Watch out for other changes as we continue to support our local businesses. The City is partnering with the Delaware River Towns Chamber of Commerce on an effort to recruit volunteers to help with projects around the community, including beautification, marketing, sign design, etc. Please see the www.LoveOurLambertville.com webpage where folks can sign up to help our community and feel free to share! DELAWARE RIVER TOWNS CHAMBER OF COMMERECE REGARDING SHAD FESTIVAL: With 78 posters and 70 artists participating we raised over $11,000. Thank you to all who purchased posters and a big thank you to our artists who so generously donate art each year. With a little dip into our rainy day fund, for if a pandemic is not a rainy day, what is? We are able to award two $10,000 scholarships. Laura Adams is graduating from South Hunterdon and is headed off to Temple University to study art and jewelry design. Morgan Grabarz graduated from New Hope Solebury High School two years ago and is winning her second award after finishing her first two years at FIT in New York City where she studies fashion design. We thanks everyone who helped make the treasured tradition that is the Jim Hamilton Memorial Shadfest Scholarship happen. |

| Anticipated Tourism, “Re-opening” and Summer Guidance |
To view the presentation made in the June 10th City Council about the City’s reopening plans click here. This weekend, the City had a significant increase in visitors to our downtown. We were able to roll out several outdoor public amenities to assist in our downtown’s safe reopening. This includes public outdoor dining space, portable restrooms and hand sanitizing stations. Additional signage has been ordered and additional free curbside pickup locations have been added as well. All of these plans are being regularly discussed with local businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, and New Hope officials, as well as the appropriate County and State stakeholders. To view an interactive map of all of the new changes, please click below:  Support our local businesses. Many of our essential local businesses have remained open over the last few months as they have worked to keep themselves safe, and to keep us all fed, healthy, and able to get what we need locally. Over the next few weeks as more non-essential businesses are allowed by the State to begin opening (more on that will be provided soon), please keep in mind what you can do to purchase locally! And in the meantime, you can support local businesses through the Chamber’s Love our Shops Initiative. |
| Suggested Guidance for all members of public |
The CDC recommends a protective face covering or mask to help slow the spread. You can view that guidance here. Please wear your mask whenever you are in a place where you can’t distance yourself from other people or anytime you are indoors with other people. Cases have begun to spike in parts of the country where people have not been adhering to these precautions, please remain vigilant in protecting yourself and your neighbors. Using playgrounds and recreation activities with shared equipment are still prohibited. Passive recreation in parks is allowed and encouraged. More guidance will be issued in forthcoming updates. Please find all new guidance from the State of New Jersey here. |

To view the presentation made in the June 10th City Council about the City’s reopening plans click here. This weekend, the City had a significant increase in visitors to our downtown. We were able to roll out several outdoor public amenities to assist in our downtown’s safe reopening. This includes public outdoor dining space, portable restrooms and hand sanitizing stations. Additional signage has been ordered and additional free curbside pickup locations have been added as well. All of these plans are being regularly discussed with local businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, and New Hope officials, as well as the appropriate County and State stakeholders. To view an interactive map of all of the new changes, please click below:  Support our local businesses. Many of our essential local businesses have remained open over the last few months as they have worked to keep themselves safe, and to keep us all fed, healthy, and able to get what we need locally. Over the next few weeks as more non-essential businesses are allowed by the State to begin opening (more on that will be provided soon), please keep in mind what you can do to purchase locally! And in the meantime, you can support local businesses through the Chamber’s Love our Shops Initiative. |
| Suggested Guidance for all members of public |
The CDC recommends a protective face covering or mask to help slow the spread. You can view that guidance here.

We want to keep you all updated on the steps Lambertville is taking to keep everyone safe. You can read more below about that. |
| Anticipated Tourism, “Re-opening” and Summer Guidance | This past weekend saw light crowds in our downtown, with a few spots where visitors gathered as they queued outside of businesses, and heavier traffic on the towpath. As mentioned below, the City has been requesting additional support and guidance from the State to allow more strict enforcement of distancing or face covering rules on the Towpath. This week, City officials will be discussing internally, with New Hope officials, and sending another round of surveys to business owners so that we can make adjustments for next week and find ways to continue to help provide support to local businesses. We hope that we can work on these preparations so that if and when we become busier this summer, all of the right protections and processes are in place. |
| Suggested Guidance for all members of public | All county and state parks are now open. While we encourage community members to take advantage of the parks, it is imperative that we do so safely. All individuals, residents and visitors, should follow proper face covering, distancing, and hygiene procedures. Lambertville Police will be enforcing these measures to ensure everyone’s ability to safely be in public spaces. The City has met with the DEP and State Park Service requesting additional resources and enforcement abilities to ensure that the Towpath and areas around the Canal remain safe for all who use them. At this time, mask usage is optional, per the Governor’s Executive Orders. If that changes, or if any additional resources become available to help, we will report them here. The CDC recommends a protective face covering or mask to help slow the spread. You can view that new guidance here.

| Anticipated Tourism, “Re-opening” and Summer Guidance | This upcoming weekend, we expect relatively light crowds due mostly to the weather. We are continuing to work with and communicate weekly with business owners in town about the steps we are taking, in conjunction with New Hope, and the Chambers. We are continuing to adjust our downtown plans as we receive feedback from business owners, residents, and visitors. This weekend we are modifying the pedestrian overflow areas, to work towards the optimum configuration. These areas will be critical if/when we have larger crowds in the downtown this summer. The extra space will help us offer things like outdoor display of goods for non-essential retail, when the State allows. This space will also help certain businesses organize their outdoor lines so we can keep our sidewalks open and safe for pedestrians. We are continuing with our addition of several more free curbside pickup spots. City officials continue to advocate with the State for stricter enforcement of face coverings on the Towpath. No guidance from the state has been issued. To view this week’s communication to businesses, click here. |

| Summary | The Governor’s Office has announced that State Parks - like the D&R Canal and Tow Path - will open at 6am this Saturday. We are focused on keeping our community safe. We expect a significant usage of these amenities as well as an influx of visitors into our community due to this reopening and the expected nice weather. City officials met Thursday morning as part of the ongoing COVID Working Group. We discussed the plan to ensure that we are able to welcome visitors to help support our hurting businesses, but ensure we do so in a way that keeps our community safe. We are requiring visitors abide by the proper precautionary measures. Signage is being placed throughout the downtown, including requests to use the NJ DOT’s sign board, and there will be a police presence to ensure people are taking the appropriate precautionary measures. We have requested additional police resources from the County and State. Additional conversations are in process with the Chamber and businesses to layout a comprehensive plan to ensure our downtown and community are safe destinations as we head into the summer months - expect to hear more on that front in the coming weeks.

The City’s goal is to allow as many people as possible to visit, as long as it’s done in a safe way. We are helping businesses find safety supplies, expand outdoor dining options, have extra curbside pickup parking spaces, creating extra space for people to walk and shop safely, reducing contact-points (at intersections and meters for example), and much more.

3-12-20 Update
Dear Residents and Businesses:
Based on public health and safety recommendations from Governor Murphy, the Hunterdon County Department of Health, and the CDC, Lambertville’s Governing Body has chosen to postpone its March voting session.
The City is committed to ensuring all public meetings are open to all members of the public and safe. Due to the increased risk of COVID-19 transmission, especially to particularly vulnerable residents, we cannot ensure public safety at large public meetings. Understanding the upcoming voting session meeting has important action items such as the budget introduction and elements to our affordable housing plans, we feel it is vital that we provide the opportunity for all of our residents to participate.
We made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming meeting in order to limit large gatherings, per CDC, state and county recommendations, to protect the health and wellness of our community. The important action items referenced above will be considered at the next Governing Body meeting, at which time the public will have an opportunity to participate.
Please see the updated Governing Body meeting schedule below. We will share any additional changes if they are made:

3-24 Update - Update from County Health on Status
Dear Lambertville,
I’m writing to inform you that Lambertville has its first positive COVID-19, confirmed today by our County Department of Health. In my commitment to provide as much information as possible throughout this public health crisis, I received permission to share this update with you. No person in Lambertville is at greater risk because of today’s confirmed case than we were yesterday.
Now, more than ever, we must come together as a community while protecting the health of our family, neighbors, and friends. Following our Governor’s Executive Orders 107 and 108, I ask that members of our community remain at home as much as possible and practice aggressive social distancing. The City’s nonessential retail businesses have closed to the public (please shop online), restaurants have implemented take out and delivery service only, and our local City government is working on a staggered schedule or remotely. These efforts are state-wide guidelines to help flatten the curve of this pandemic. We need each of you to do your part.
The City will be working directly with the County Department of Health, as well as the State, to continuously monitor our cases. If you or a family member has tested positive, here are some guidelines from the CDC. Please remember that we are neighbors, and together we can act responsibly and compassionately to help curb this virus within our community.
Although we find ourselves in unchartered waters, please keep up to date on local information (every Monday and Thursday at 4:30pm) at lambertvillenj.org/COVID as well as information from the CDC about any new guidelines. For COVID-19 health-specific questions, our State has set up a 24 hour call center (Call: 2-1-1; or 1-800-962-1253; or text NJCOVID to 898-211).
I will reiterate that Lambertville is not at greater risk because of this confirmed case. Let us continue to look out for the health and wellbeing of our neighbors. We are a resilient community and working together we will persevere.

| Update Date/Time |
Thursday March 19th, 2020 4:30 PM |
| Summary |
As of today there are at least six confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Hunterdon County. We expect this number to rise significantly over the coming weeks. The best tool to combat the strain on the health care system in the short and medium term is following the CDC guidelines below. We have also made some resources available on the City’s website for local businesses impacted by COVID-19. The City will continue to update the website as we receive more information. Find resources from the state and federal government that might help your business. All information is posted at lambertvillenj.org/COVID |
| Suggested Guidance for all members of public |
Why are we staying home? The goal is to “Flatten the curve” or reduce major spikes in strain on hospital resources. If whole communities adhere to social distancing measures it can spread out a spike over a longer period of time, reducing the strain on hospital resources. This also mitigates the spread of a contagious virus and reduces mortality rates in vulnerable populations. Public Health experts warn of major hospital staffing and materials shortages if “flattening the curve” is not accomplished. It is each person’s responsibility to protect yourself, your family, and your neighbors. The Center for Disease Control recommends:
Self-isolation at home has mental and emotional repercussions. Please consider your mental wellness, and that of your family and friends. Here is guidance from the CDC. And here are some tips from Healthline. The bottom line: Stay home, especially anyone 60 or above or with chronic/prior medical conditions, except for absolute necessities. Learn and practice good hygiene. Take care of your mental and emotional wellbeing. Together we can keep our neighbors safe! |
| Status of City Facilities |
All City facilities are closed to public walkins. Please review the “Save the Trip” document for information on accessing City services remotely. You can email or call City Hall with any questions (609) 397-0110. This will be continuously updated as the City receives additional guidance from the State. We will continue to make more key services available remotely, an ongoing effort underway over the past one-two weeks. |
| Status of Public Meetings |
All city related public meetings are cancelled through March 30th. There will be an announcement at a later date for an updated calendar for meetings for the consideration of essential business. All large City events are canceled or postponed at this time, including Shadfest. |

| Suggested Guidance for all members of public |
What do Governor Murphy’s Executive Orders mean for residents and businesses in Lambertville? What does a stay at home order mean for Lambertville? The best way for us to protect our neighbors and family members is to limit our interaction with people and public spaces. Unless you are engaging in the list below, stay home and help maintain the safety of our community. Stay home unless you are obtaining essential needs like food, take out food, or medicine. Or you are seeking medical attention, visiting family, reporting to a job. You can leave your home to engage in outdoor passive recreation (i.e. walking or biking along the canal path), educational, religious, or political reasons. You should leave your home if you are afraid for your health and safety, or at the direction of law enforcement of government agencies. Closing all non-essential retail businesses. The list of essential businesses: Grocery/food stores, pharmacies, Laundrymats, pet stores, children stores for children 5 years old or below, post offices, hardware stores, banks, convenience stores, gas stations, liquor stores. Food pickups and curbside to go may continue, but the State is asking that restaurants take extra precaution. Gatherings and events. Additionally, all gatherings and celebrations should be canceled for the next eight weeks, at least. Passive recreation on public parks and trails. The canal as well as Lambertville parks are open. Playground equipment is off limits. Recommendations to protect yourself and other park visitors:

COVID-19 poses unprecedented public health and economic challenges. This is not a local crisis. We understand there are a lot of unknowns and things will continue to change. We will be working with our partners at every level of government as the state and country respond to this ongoing issue.
First and foremost, our job is to address a public health crisis and work as a community to flatten the COVID-19 curve.
Governor Murphy has issued Executive Order 104 - which lays out both mandates and guidelines for businesses throughout New Jersey. This Executive Order is the law - we ask that each of you comply. Please be sure to continue to monitor State and CDC recommendations. You can see how this impacts your business here.

3-17-20 Local Emergency Declaration
| Why a local emergency declaration? A local emergency declaration is standard procedure during a large-scale emergency, especially after a national and state emergency have been declared. A local emergency declaration is an important tool that helps to organize the local chain of command, provides the municipality access to future reimbursement for expenses incurred, and gives the municipality the ability to change existing laws during the emergency, such as hours of public facilities which are set by ordinance (the changes are specified in this declaration). The declaration provides for the closing of City and other public facilities, cancelation of certain meetings and events, as well as guides local individuals and businesses to comply with the state issued executive orders.
