Anyone here from the Hasbrouck Heights area? I need to ride from near Teterboro Airport to the Rutherford train station. (The Teterboro station doesn't have trains going south from a little before 5pm to after 10pm.)

I came up with this:

I think you need a better way across 17.
Isn't there a light at Franklin?

Yes, there is, but I'll be on the southbound side, so turning off onto Ottowa isn't a problem.

Am I better off taking Boulevard all the way, or is Terrace Ave to into Hackensack Ave a better bet?

If it were me, I would take the BLVD. Terrace is quite narrow & with some of those buses & cars barreling down to avoid RT 17, I would prefer to take the BLVD, then cut back onto Paterson Plank when you hit Carlstadt.

Hoboken Rd to Boiling Springs - too narrow?

Perfect, boiling springs will lead you the the railroad tracks close to the train station.

Are you planning to lock up the bike @ the Rutherford train station or do you have a foldup?

I have a folder. I'm planning to take the train into Teterboro Station, and leave from Rutherford.

There may be a way to get there without hitting Rt 17 at all.

It looks fine. 17 becomes a local road by that point.
