school sports are alot more important in private schools than public ones. having good sports teams means more students striving to attend the school and it raises the profile of said school.

Columbus was and is perfectly wide enough for bike lanes but the city councils and Healy's shortsightedness, lack of understanding and desire for us to be on public transportation has stymied any efforts to have better, safer roadways for cyclists in JC.

again, i don't buy the street parking argument. if your lot is wide enough , you can potentially park up to 3 cars (2 inside, one outside) in a spot where previously only 1 car fit!

"You" can park there as in "you" the property owner. On the other hand, the public is deprived of a public parking space. Unless you are so generous as to let strangers park in your driveway.

my point is without the driveway, you have 2 or 3 cars from 100 Main street now parked on the road. with the driveway, you have 1 'street' spot occupied, but 2 or 3 cars from 100 main street are now off the street, leaving the other residents of main street an extra parking spot or 2 on the street.

If there are X parking spaces and Y cars, then X-1 ≥ Y-2 must be true or you are making it more difficult to park on the street for everyone else.

Given that the average size car is 16 feet in length and most of the lots in Jersey City, at least downtown, are 20 to 25 foot frontage, building driveways will not create enough parking.

Reading program expansion cut for supervisors' raises

The athletic directors were in the same union as coaches and teachers, and did not have the power to officially hire, fire, evaluate or supervise the coaches. That duty fell to Michael Venutolo, the district's director of athletics and nurses, Christen said.

But the directors believe they need to have the final say in athletic personnel decisions, and the district agreed - as did the state. Since at least 2003, the state Department of Education has required all new athletic directors to be certified as supervisors and all five of Jersey City's directors have the certification.

FYI: I lived at the Beacon for 1 year. During that time I had tons of problems, but the #1 issue I came here to post about today was damage to my brand new car. They will not let you self-park, and they caused over $2000 of damage + a stolen GPS. I filed multiple damage claims and every one was denied by their "loss prevention" department. If you care about your vehicle, do not live at The Beacon.
