I don't think I've ever seen a traffic jam on the stretch of Newark they're planning on closing down.

This. It's actually very little used. The fact is it's NOT considered a through street by any locals I know. If I'm going from HP to the post office, I don't make a left from Jersey on Newark, I make it on Columbus, because I know how clunky the lights for the zigzag at Grove are. No one makes a right from Grove onto Newark who isn't planning on trying to find a parking spot to shop on those blocks, otherwise they'd have made the right onto 2nd or Bay. The ONLY time I ever drive Newark to Grove is to pick someone up at the PATH, and I can easily take 1st to Grove to do it if Newark is closed. The traffic argument is complete bullshit. The merchant are just afraid of change, just like Yvonne.

People are so against change they don't want to try it out. I hate that this city seems to cater to the few who are always complaining, and apparently never at work.

This is how life works. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, God helps those that help themselves, etc.

The meetings are held at 6pm, while some may not be able to attend due to work, I'm sure the vast majority of complainers here could make the time to attend if this was so important to them.

I know you just speak out of your rear on everything, but as a resident over 40 years I know Yvonne is right. If you know downtown, all you have to see is one block closed for 5 hrs, and the traffic gets real bad. With the number of people who will not be aware of this, that will create traffic jams and streets being clogged. I don't think you need a PDF or any study to see what will happen, it takes common sense and maybe 40 years of watching these things repeat itself.

Sorry Poncho. Steve shoots from the hip. But he's open-minded and knows what he doesn't know. You and Yvonne come across as narrow-minded, insular, obstructive people, that fail to recognize you have limitations, prejudices and are not infallible. Wake please to your own pride and limitations. Who knows? You might be wrong.

I personally support this proposal but I will say that in my mother's later years any walk beyond the car to the door was almost impossible. She cancelled more doctors appointments than she kept because of her mobility. (No, doctors don't make house calls. And this is not the place for that discussion.)

If the good Doctor has so many patients with a disability that are unable to use a wheel chair or arrange to be pushed, then maybe the good Doctor could do house calls and provide that special care they truly need, then force them to come to him!

The good Doctor put his foot in his mouth when he pointed out another valid reason for change; high vehicular traffic all the time in a shopping strip that also has to accommodate high pedestrian traffic (highlighting that he has older and disabled clients mixed with that vehicular and pedestrian traffic).

You would think a pedestrian plaza would make it safer for them with a more open area and chairs to rest at !

Park at your own risk. No one owes you anything.

Ignore above - If you have parked legally in a legally designated area, then some-one does owe you. The only issue is identifying the accountable party (individual, team or organization that booked the field)

The authority that manages the field will know exactly who booked the field.

Very cool, thanks for the tip on the dash cam!! Genius. I just wonder if it's not something that would make low life's wants to break in the car and hock. Sorry to hear about your bad luck with accidents and how shady people can be. That is the worst part. It's getting worse each year.


And yes, the announcer is super annoying. Going on and on at absurd volumes impressing himself.

And wow... Poncho comes sniffing around again to see the results of his stirring the pot like a true Internet Troll. Well done, Dummy. Thanks for checking back to see how people praisied your wonderful thoughts and ideas. I cant wait until you're forced to park somewhere you maybe really shouldn't have someday. Do post here with the fallout please. I want to write asinine negative comments and call you a fool. Just kidding. Have a lovely life. I'm sure you're a really happy person who never thinks about the dark side of the moon. Xo

Baseball mafia. I like that. Yeah, it probably is a damn racket. I figured the chances were slim to none. Just posting here partly to see if anyone else had horror stories. Eh.

There are actually no signs posted. Funny that the one on sixth has those signs up, I bet the cop cars gets smashed at times. Now that has got to be a big issue right there. Imagine a cop not being able to immediately drive to an emergency cause of a damn baseball meeting a windshield.

I highly doubt that there are not any ball fields out there that have agreements with neighbors that they ll pay for damages incurred my friend. And I'm sure some people actually feel bad and just pay for it outright anyway. But yeah, thanks for your genius reply, so very helpful and insightful. I'm so dumb, so WTF do I know right? Gee. Yeah, maybe you should reread my original posting, Troll. Parking is slim to none, in fact it's even harder when a game is on to find any open spaces, what with all the lovely parents coming out to cheer their little tikes on. You say all that like I didn't know or something. And I bet you would really like to witness people fighting at a ball field over annoying affectations. Because hey, that's obviously not ignorant either! In fact I would like to watch vigilante hand you your teeth instead Poncho, but just so he can prove he's as tough as he acts. But not really....Because watching people fight is pretty stupid. But hey you should go sit on the bleachers and wait for your little showdown. Bring sunscreen and a video camera. Now go haunt someone else's posts with smarmy good for nothing remarks, dummy.

Wasn't it Emperor Hirohito who said: The proof of the ramen is in the eating? Maybe the buck or two difference is worth it because of:

proximity to one's home
support of neighhood/independent businesses (now apparently known as clinginess)
ambiance

I'm happy there's another new place in town. They'll get my business until I make my own decision as to whether the food is good, the service is good and that is all.

Well jeepers, I'm sorry we don't douchebags running businesses around here (or using the local forums for that matter). I'd rather give my money to someone who isn't an a-hole.
