JCmorganSt ,
It's not that people are against redevelopment. It is because the city changed its original plan and changed max height regulation, etc.

IMO. people don't want dozen more 40-storie high buildings though.

If the city is changing its plan only a few years into their 30 (or was it 40?) years plan, wonder what's gonna happen next....

To all you renters now is not the time to buy, wait until the market botoms out. oh and thanks for paying down all my mortgages. that reminds me I have to raise my rents.

Yes, it is a union job. My company put in a bid to do the painting work. It is probably a blessing that we were not the lowest bidder.

I cannot answer your question as to how the flag (or flags) of the month are chosen.

I remember when Mayor Cunningham was campaigning and asking him why the City spends monies on all these different flags when the American flag (which represents all) is the only one needed. I cannot remember his answer.

Has to be some type of "cash business" owner operation to get away with this sh@t. Really, don't waste your time contacting the owner. Lesson learned is all.

I'm sure the IRS would be able to extrapolate earnings from watching their performance for a week or so....

I had the same thing happen to a friend of mine. We parked in the empty section next to BJ's plenty of spots available on a weekend. We walked to Chili's and had lunch.

Since you have a car, next time drive to some place good.

Why eat at Chili's? We're not stuck in the midwest here.

Where does Councilman Fulop live? I always forget.

So why don't more people use public transportation?

"The problem may not be in the rail lines, but in housing," said NJCU political science professor Fran Moran, who conducted the poll. "That is, it seems likely that more people would use the rail system if their housing were closer to the rail stops."

But you know, let's not build high rise towers next to PATH stations, because it might ruin the character of under populated neighborhoods.

Shot during 4-on-1 robbery attempt on Danforth Ave.

Friday, March 14, 2008

A Jersey City man was pistol-whipped and then shot in the head late Thursday night on Danforth Avenue, according to police reports.

The 42-year-old victim was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries following the incident. The man had been surrounded by four "juvenile males" and pistol-whipped before the gun went off and a bullet went into his eyebrow and exited through his forehead, reports said.

A spokesman for the Medical Center, John McKeegan, said he was treated and released.

The victim told cops he was walking on Danforth, between Garfield and Princeton avenues, just before midnight when the group approached and attempted to rob him, reports said.

When he gave them nothing, they attacked him, he told police.

None of the suspects have been identified.

Also, with just 340 cars in the system, the PA is much smaller client than a system like the MTA. When you buy in bulk, you get a discount, so something like the new rail cars will cost more per car than the MTA pays because the MTA buys in larger quantities.

I can't see where this $3.3 billion is going, and it's infuriating. Are we getting ripped off?

I don't think having trash cans will make that big of a difference. There are just certain types of people who will litter, even if there's a garbage can a few feet away. Look at the Grove Street area - there are plenty of garbage cans on the corners, but I've seen people just toss crap in the street. The weekday commuters generally seem to be more considerate and will cart their trash off the train with them. Some may leave their newspapers on the seat, but that's not a big deal. On the weekends, though, the cars can be downright disgusting. People will leave soft drinks under the seats, they'll spill and the floor will become this sticky mess.

I hit a nasty pothole last evening, on an unlit street, which popped my tire.

I know that NYC will pay for tires popped by thing like raised manhole covers.

Anyone know if Jersey City does the same?

Thanks!

Actually if you where the right gear you wont freeze your ass off or get killed, and plus your body creates a lot of heat as your burning calories. The one real disadvantage of riding a bike is when it's raining, the tires shoot water at your ass so I try to never ride in the rain.

Um why do most bicyclists that I see ride on the sidewalk? Are they that scared of Jersey City traffic? It's illegal to ride on the sidewalk so please if your gonna ride please do it on street, I do it all the time! I used to commute to work in a car but then I figured out that I could save a lot of money by just taking a bike to work everyday so. It adds about 5-10 minutes to my commute but when you factor in the time that it takes to warm up a car it's not that big of a difference.

Warm up the car? What about freezing your ass off on your bike? I commend you for being able to bike it each day. That is pretty cool.
I have to say that I have been on my bike on sidewalk on certain JC streets. I'd rather live than violate a bicycle law
