History
A walkway or promenade along the northeastern New Jersey waterfront was first discussed at a state level in the late 1970s. In 1988, the New Jersey Department of Environmental ProtectionNew Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is a government agency in the U.S. state of New Jersey that is responsible for managing the state's natural resources and addressing issues related to pollution...
created the Coastal Zone Management Rules, which outlined the regulations and specifications for its construction. They require anyone building within 100 feet (30.5 m) of the water's edge to provide a minimum of 30 feet (9.1 m) wide open, public space along it. Construction must be permitted by the agency and paid for by the developer. In 1999, the National Association of Home Builders

Obstacles and advantages
- The land upon which the walkway is built (or to be built) is held privately and publicly, and in the case of The Port Authority of New York and New JerseyPort Authority of New York and New JerseyThe Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is a bi-state port district, established in 1921 through an interstate compact, that runs most of the regional transportation infrastructure, including the bridges, tunnels, airports, and seaports, within the Port of New York and New Jersey...
, semi-publicly. - Privately held land is not required to have a walkway until it is re-developed. In some instances, some gated-developments have provided only minimal perpendicular access which is often clearly not indicated.
- The topography is diverse, with some canals or coves that come quite far inland, requiring the walkway to either go around them or cross them with bridges.
- Transportation, industrial, or maritime infrastructure is found along the route, and construction of HRWW could interfere with their operation and public safety.
- Each municipality implements and enforces its own zoning rules, and often negotiates with developers with a local rather than regional interest, and have other municipal open-space projects to which funds must be dedicated.
- Much of the land which the walkway crosses had maritime or industrial uses and became obsolete or was abandoned. The area south of Caven Point, though, is still actively used for these purposes.
- Most housing and commercial real-estate developers see the advantage of providing access to the water as a selling point.
- Some sections of the walkway are easily accessible by public transportation, such as the Hudson-Bergen Light RailHudson-Bergen Light RailThe Hudson–Bergen Light Rail is a light rail system in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. Owned by New Jersey Transit and operated by the 21st Century Rail Corporation, it connects the communities of Bayonne, Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Union City , and North Bergen.The system began...
