No. Montclair’s proposed implementation of a Quiet Zone has nothing to do with weekend service. NJ Transit will institute weekend service when it is feasible for it to do so, on a timetable that it will determine and control. The delay in the start of weekend service is due to construction at the Broad Street station in Newark, weekend work in the train tunnels under the Hudson River and weekend construction of the Grove Street bridge on Bloomfield Avenue at the Montclair-Glen Ridge border. Barring further delays, weekend service is expected to start in the Fall of 2009. The Public Transportation Advisory Committee has formed a subcommittee to work with NJ Transit to institute weekend service.
