Not immediately. The next stop will be at 5th Street in Bayonne. The next planned major extension will take the light rail from North Bergen along the Northern Branch railroad in Bergen County, which would go through Ridgefield, Fairview, Palisades Park, Leonia, Englewood and Tenafly.

There has been some talk of extending the West Side Avenue line to stop closer to NJCU and to go across Rte 440 to reach Society Hill. And also some talk of then crossing the Hackensack river to reach Kearny and potentially go as far as Newark airport. But there is no commitment from NJ Transit on those, and no source of funding.

There has also been talk about light rail over the 6th St. Embankment and through the Bergen Arches, potentially out to the Meadowlands. That was suggested by Mayor Healy, but NJT has not expressed any interest in it.

Jersey ave is fine. It's not the prettiest, with construction, the junkyards, and the hospital, but it's not dangerous. Will be much livelier soon though, I think. Richard st can get pretty hairy, and the cemetery is a bit creepy. Danforth is ok along Danforth itself, and south of the station is ok too, but north of there can be pretty rough too. All in all it's definitely better where there are stations, though (not that i mean to get in a discussion about the merits of transit villages).

I hear the Virginia/Ege/Kearney Avenues section around the Dr. King Drive station is not too good these days and I'm not sure how the area around the West Side Avenue Terminal is.

How is it around Danforth Avenue, Richard Street and Jersey Avenue stations?
