? 90-16. Use of leash in public places.
No person who owns, keeps or harbors any dog shall suffer or permit it to be upon the public streets or in any of the public places of the city unless such dog is accompanied by a responsible person and is securely confined and controlled by one adequate leash not more than six feet long.

Allowing off-leash activity in City parks will require a change to city ordinances, since under the current municipal code all dogs must be on leash in city parks. I doubt that changing Jersey City municipal code would be the one of the primary objectives of Ava's group. I suggest that you discuss this with Ava.

Like any other community initiative, everyone has a choice. You can choose to get off this board and get directly involved or not.
Your choice, I guess, appears to be having fun arm-chair bad mouthing someone you don't know on the basis of nothing other than reading a posted announcement Btw... Ava and Walt have lived and worked in Hamilton Park for more years than most of the posters on JCList have been alive. Having said that, they still have much to contribute to Hamilton Park. You might just actually learn something. Give her a chance... and at the very least attend her meeting when it's scheduled. All the best. Geoff

All this? yet no mention of any of the legal alternatives for off-leash activity (i.e. ? the dog-run, change to the leash law to permit dogs off-leash to some schedule)??...

Three hit-and-runs over the weekend
Monday, October 01, 2007 By CHARLES HACK JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Three pedestrians were injured in hit-and-run accidents in Jersey City this weekend, including a 12-year-old girl who reportedly asked the off-duty cop who came to her aid if she was dead. An off-duty cop who witnessed the first accident Saturday around 6:10 p.m. rushed to the aid of the 12-year-old girl, who was hit by a speeding car and thrown at least 50 feet and landed against a parked car, witnesses said. The off-duty cop said the little girl, lying face down in the street and bleeding from her head, asked him if she "was dead," reports said. She was in stable condition last night at the Jersey City Medical Center. The Kia Sportage that hit her stopped in the middle of the street, and three people got out and ran away, cops said. Later that night, Mario Cortez, 24, of Kennedy Boulevard in Bayonne, surrendered at the North District police station and told police he was the driver. He was charged with endangering an injured victim and leaving the scene of an accident, reports said. The owner of the vehicle, a Newark resident, said Cortez was a family friend who had borrowed the car without permission. A second hit-and-run was reported around 10:35 p.m. Saturday on Bergen Avenue near Bostwick Avenue, reports said, leaving a pedestrian with life-threatening injuries. Police investigating the accident found a large pool of blood and a tooth in the street, about 20 feet south of the crosswalk at Bostwick Avenue where the victim's baseball cap was found, police said. A witness said he was sitting on the steps of a Bergen Avenue home when he heard a loud "boom." Right after hearing the noise, he saw a dark blue or dark green Jeep speeding south on Bergen Avenue, reports said. He then saw the victim in the street. The victim is in stable but serious condition at the Jersey City Medical Center and is being treated for a fractured jaw and trauma to the chest and pelvis, reports said. The third accident was reported yesterday morning, when a 42-year-old homeless man rolling down the middle of Duncan Avenue was knocked out of his wheelchair by a white Nissan sedan, police reports said. The man was traveling east down the yellow dividing line on Duncan Avenue near the junction with Ocean Avenue about 6:45 a.m. when he was struck from behind and knocked out of his wheelchairby a white Nissan sedan which then fled the scene, witnesses told police. The man was taken to Christ Hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries, reports said. Anyone with information should call (201) 547-JAIL.

Talks on ending floods on 440
Jersey Journal -- KEN THORBOURNE Monday, October 01, 2007 Jersey City officials are hopeful that a sit-down held last week with state Department of Transportation officials will lead to the end of severe flooding along Route 440. At the Sept. 20 meeting, DOT brass assumed responsibility for clearing the clogged, DOT-owned catch basins and outfall pipes along the route, but no timetable was nailed down, MUA Chief Engineer Joseph Beckmeyer said. "They (DOT) said they would begin the cleaning operation," Beckmeyer said. "They didn't give me a schedule. They had to review a contract with their private hauler. They were going to get back to me." A few weeks ago, the MUA offered to do the work - and then send DOT the bill. The state balked at that arrangement since it didn't want to give the MUA a "blank check," plus there were unresolved traffic and indemnification issues, DOT spokeswoman Erin Phalon said. The flooding along Route 440 has hit businesses and Country Village residents hard, and often turns the intersection of Communipaw Avenue and Route 440 into a lake, MUA officials said. "Hopefully there is going to be full cooperation and the problem will be solved," Beckmeyer said.

Healy didn't make JC public - Developers and Investors made JC public to protect their investment and make money for themselves. Healy role was to just gave away HUGE abatements to them and they did the rest.
If anything Healy gave away JC too cheaply and introduced us to the concept of nepotism, poor management, unethical and corruptable staff and left huge loop holes for certain staff to 'milk' money from JC funds.

No I certainly wouldn't want to...but it seems like this "wolfpack" is doing a lot more than messing up peoples' hair. Bernie Goetz only went to prison for six months by the way, for illegal handgun possession...he was acquitted of everything else under the grounds of self-defense. I suppose mace is an alternative, but seems like the sight of it wouldn't deter anyone, let alone six people. As for tazers, I didn't think those were commercially available. All that said, I have no intentions of buying a gun or tazer, I don't think I'd ever be comfortable holding one, I'm just frustrated about the recent upsurge in muggings and break-ins (to both cars and individual apartments), the police being virtually helpless and all people do is joke about it. I suppose any kind of serious post on this forum is pointless...

Recently I posted on this site about my reluctance to shop at the Pathmark store on Grand St. I felt it was somewhat unkempt and I felt a little unsafe. However after reading this article about those teenage girls wearing those funny tee-shirts I may have to reconsider my negativity on Pathmark. I think that the comedy would be worth the risk.

Read the news story. It said:
"Around 10 p.m. Tuesday night, a woman in her 20s told police, a pack of five or six girls, some on bikes and some on foot, followed closely behind her as she was walking north on Monmouth Street after getting off the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at the Jersey Avenue Station. One of the girls pulled at her purse, then another pulled her hair, bringing her to the ground as one of the girls ran off with her purse, according to reports." They pulled her hair, forced her to the ground, and then mugged her. I didn't say anything about shooting people much less eating a "hart" (?) and kidneys (who said I was Jack the Ripper anyway?). I suggested the sight of a gun might have sent these girls a message and made them re-think the idea of mugging somebody. Also, are people sympathizing with these attackers because they are girls? Because when its 5 or 6 against one, gender doesn't matter.

Regardless of how much people actually care about this or want to create a new bar drink, it\'s shit like this that has made me re-visit the issue of private gun ownership. I used to be a bleeding-heart liberal and hated the NRA. I lived the greater part of my life in a small town where my commute was short, I was usually home before dark and people routinely walked into each others\' houses. I never thought I\'d have any need for a gun. Now I work in NYC, its usually dark when I\'m walking home and the streets can get sketchy after dark. I\'m no match for a group of muggers, even if its a bunch of teenage girls, but the sight of a gun would make them re-think jumping me. Not that I\'d personally want to shoot anybody, but Jersey City needs its own version of Bernie Goetz to give the criminals a message. Notice how crime began to go downhill after that incident in 1984.

I think that Healy is a person that made Jersey City public not just to outsiders, but to Jersey City people aswell.
When Cunnigham was arround, I did not know anything about this city. No plans, no ideas, speaches. Nothing Its changed with Healy. BTW, he is the one who i think organized the Mayors Against Guns program.

if you have not watched or particpated in past council meetings and other public forums, there are a number of up coming public events where you should have the opportunity to introduce yourself and speak with the Mayor including the Grove Street Octoberfest and the opening party for the Artist "Studio" Tour at Canco Lofts, both this friday, 10/5.... just leave the t-shirt at home.
