Thanks.

there's still public cans in the city? You'd never know from the continual sh1t pile left in front of my building nearly daily.... today's haul? a metal FORK AND SPOON. Oh, and, of course... 3 plastic bags of dog crap. again.

dude that that used to own blimpie's next to helen's pizza would regularly bring several LARGE bags of trash to my corner several blocks away from his store til one day i confronted him... it was not pretty. but he never came back.

Hurtle, what did the police have to say about that? Surely there is a way to have a court order that the tape be handed over. This is about the 10th time I have heard a story about tape of a crime not being handed over in Jersey City. Certainly I would expect someone who owns a security camera to not hand the footage out except under court order. But I would also expect a court to readily order this if there is good reason to believe that evidece of a crime is on the tape.

I agree but at least they're doing something. My car was parked in view of one of the city's surveilance cameras. I parked it there because I thought the camera would provide extra security. It was broken into and they wouldn't even review the tape. I volunteered to do it and they still said no dice.

My girlfriend took our dog to the run the other day and wonders why there is no "airlock" entrance.

Just curious.

Janet,

When I first joined this list 9 months ago you and Minnie posted similar claims about tress being chopped down.

As I was new to the area I went along to the presentations and worriedly rasied the subject, the reply was unequivocal and categoric, none of the large trees in Hamilton park will be chopped down.

This has been reiterated at every meeting and by every person involved in the process. Why do you persist with this baseless scaremongering?

Robin.

I live in the outskirts of Hamilton Park. I WANT the forestry division to cut down the ugly sycamore trees.

They look 1/2 dead, and are badly mulitalted due to many of the branches being removed by PSE&G. I called the Forestry Division, because one tree in particular 1) just looks terrible and 2) is hanging dangerously over my roof. I requested that this tree be removed, and in it's place I would pay for new one through the JC fall tree planting program. They sent out an "inspector" and the feedback was "It's fine. Healthy. Nope, we won't remove it." I find this frustrating considering I want to buy a replacement tree that is going to be less hazardous and look much better. And no, I'm not paying a few thousand dollars out of my own pocket to hire a private "tree guy" to take down this tree when it's the city's responsibility.

Chances are there were dumplings in that ilegal dumping.

man, i would think dumping ANYWHERE in public in JC would be illegal.

i mean, that's disgusting.

This is why the city keeps removing trash cans and the one or two that left on the street usually are over flowing spilling litter everywhere.

Jersey City:

The Goldman-Sachs building is really just a huge middle finger.

(The illustration on the shirt is self-explanatory)

Let's put this in perspective. Brian_em moves to JC thinking it's going to be the next williamsburg because that's what the New York Post told him. He goes to a bar (barrow street pub) and there aren't enough buddy holly glasses, ironic t-shirts, or people with scripts for his taste, so he decides that everyone in the place is not worthy of his attention.

A year passes and he doesn't feel connected to the community, so he goes onto JC list and insults everyone to make himself feel better about his bad decision to move here.

I love the arbitrary $106 fine. Hilarious.

Maybe we can fine Animal that for the stickers all over the place.

FAB: Did you read this part?

Jersey City Police Chief Tom Comey also advocated the use of CCTV cameras to combat "quality-of-life crimes," though he also emphasized their primary role is combating violent crime.

Yet you continue to live here and constantly b1tch and moan about it...

You have to be fcuking kidding me. Camera's for dumping trash in public trash cans, but Cops and City Hall don't have camera's to make our streets safer from being mugged, robbed or people with ass driving skills and total disregard for road rules. Stupid cop bosses and stupid council and a stupid use of resources that should be directed to more important issues.

All this effort makes me think it was personal or yes, racial - it would be no skill to work out who was dumping trash and simply wanted hard proof, it was the Chinese Restaurant.

lol. I love when non-designers make "clothing lines".

MICROSOFT WORD ART ! lol.

Jersey City,----Not hipsters, just a bunch of POSERS.

Illegal dumping caught on tape

Introduced seven years ago as a tool to help police fight violent crime, Jersey City cops have found a new use for closed-circuit cameras - combating illegal dumping in city garbage cans.

Last week, an employee of Central Wok was caught on tape putting garbage from the Chinese restaurant into a Central Avenue trash can. Cops reviewed the tape, saw the dumping and notified the city's Neighborhood Improvement Division, which issued a summons.

If found guilty, the business must pay a fine of at least $106; in this case, the restaurant's owners said they pleaded guilty and paid $200.

City officials said it was the first time CCTV cameras were used to enforce local waste disposal laws.

Mayor Jerramiah Healy lauded the initiative, citing improper disposal of business waste was a "persistent problem" in Jersey City that "wears down on the quality of life" for residents.

According to NID Director Larry Smith, black bags full of construction waste as well as household and business garbage left in public trash cans has been an ongoing problem that his department is working to eliminate, and CCTV provides another tool to enforce regulations about waste disposal.

"It makes perfect sense that we reach out to the Police Department to utilize their CCTV cameras to see if anyone would be found dumping," he said.

Jersey City Police Chief Tom Comey also advocated the use of CCTV cameras to combat "quality-of-life crimes," though he also emphasized their primary role is combating violent crime.

The division of parks and forestry has been by to look at seveal of the large trees on my block in the last two weeks. I asked what was up and was told that they think that the trees are infested with the Asian Longhorned Beetle and will have to be cut down. This could be why some of the other trees are being cut down.

JC drink while you serve

New York got nuthin' on us.

Lets bulldoze all the trees at the dog run and Hamilton parks. Then concrete the whole lot and paint it green!

Jersey City - where the wealthy have it, and the poor steal it.

I can't believe it, has the hand of God touched RR wih these responses?

I just attended the Pre-K Workshop the BOE sponsored at School #17 and met 1 lead teacher from #28 in the heights. She spoke highly of the school and had a slide show of what to expect in the classroom and schedule.

I really enjoyed meeting the teachers and seeing the several presentations. I felt better knowing what to expect in the schools.

It was a shame that this workshop was not known to others. I asked them if they could come again. I will post again on a different thread.

jerseyslogan - I purchased two of your Pulaski Skyway tshirts, but upon receiving them found to my horror that the back has a geeky website address splattered across it.

I am not wearing a tshirt that says "jerseyslogans.org" on the back, so I wasted my money. The website does not show the backprint or I never would have bought.

Please remove the lame backprint, if you do I might even buy another one.

Robin.

I've asked that exact same question several times here and gotten no answers here, but I met some people at Subia's who seemed to be on the same wavelength as me in terms of what they thought a school should be like, and they said they really like P.S. 27 and P.S. 28.
