Someone ran a red light in Jersey City???? I cannot believe it's true!

Yeah really. I guess it's only news when it happens to a police car. I was nearly hit at the same intersection Thursday morning, though I was a pedestrian crossing Monmouth. A left-turning vehicle coming off Columbus gunned it while I was in the crosswalk. I literally kicked the vehicle as I jumped back.

Columbus Drive is dangerous, and it'll only get worse when it becomes a 6-lane highway. Monmouth is dangerous too. Cars seem to fly at 40-45 trying to make that light.

It's such a ridiculous problem. I live on 5th b/w monmouth and brunswick and there is always DOG SHIT pretty much on every block up to the Grove Street Path.

It's completely careless, rude, disgusting and disrespectful to the community. I mean does it really kill anyone to just bend down and scoop it up. I want to do something about this because if people can't be responsible neighbors then they shouldn't live in a nice place, and it's the community's disregard of this matter that makes neighborhoods UGLY, turning them into ghetto's.

Seriously the property values are way too inflated in the neighborhood to walk outside and step on dog shit. I've seen individual owners take matters into their own hands, but as a whole the community isn't doing anything at all!

Action needs to be taken ASAP!

I would hope that Bayonne animal control is going to follow up with a potentially dangerous dog hearing for the male dog, at the very least. It's unclear from the article whether the female was actually part of the attack.

jaah37 - dogs do not need to be leashed when they're in a backyard but the moment they're off the owner's property they can (and should) be cited.

Jessica Manno was given two summonses for having unleashed dogs, police said.

The issue of whether pitbull can be domestic pets with proper training/care is up for debate, and i do think euthanize all pitbull are unfair to responsible owners who take care of their dogs.

The real injustice here is the punishment of the dog owner, 2 summons for unleashed dog?!?! that's like giving a parking ticket for running over someone to close to death.

The woman should be brought up on attempted murder charges, throw in jail for a good part of her life, and never be allowed to own/care for another dog.

This isnt a case of accident, the woman purposely choose not to leash the pitbull and as a result almost killed the poor woman. Why should such disgusting irresponsible dog owners not be charged with a serious crime.

2 summons for unleashed dogs?! what a joke...

If they didn't have a gun all the police would have gotten for a dangerous chase that could have killed pedestrians and themselves was a bag of OMG marijuana.

Does this really matter? If the car has stopped and can see nobody is coming, why not go? Traffic lights are important at busy times, or where you cannot see approaching traffic. But at a quiet time of day or night, where you can see the other way, it can be safe, depending on the specifics of the individual juntion.

No work on the park can happen until the building being renovated to the left of it is completed.

Then why the fuuuuudge were the trees torn down so quickly???

they were issued tickets, and now I will be able to have my insurance company contact his insurance company about the cost of the car and a rental in the meantime. Will definitely keep you all posted!

I was in Hoboken Municipal Court yesterday contesting a ticket and one of the cases that came up before me was one similar to yours: someone hit a car and left the scene. The judge asked if the owner of the car that was hit was there to make a statement. The owner was not there, although they had received notice of the hearing. The city prosecutor recommended reducing the level of the offense, I don't remember to what, and the judge accepted it. I'm pretty sure the guy that did this got off with a lighter offense and fee because the owner of the car that was hit was not there.

If you're at all inclined to make sure that the person who hit your car gets what they deserve, I would suggest you attend their hearing.

I wish you all luck. But until Indio's Place is closed down that block will still be a mess. A beautiful Park with a bunch of cretins lurking across the street. Ugh.

Agreed. Just the other day, in broad daylight no less, two filthy scumbags were pissing on the side of the building adjacent to the park. No, not the vacant building, the one in which people actually live and make their home. When I called them out on it, he said the bathrooms were locked??

This park is going to look amazing, and add to the value of the neighboorhood..... for about a week or two. Then the savages from Indio's will destroy it. They will use it for their own personal toilet, and probably move their drug deals and prostitute appointments from the cars in front of the bar to the new park.

Last night around 3:15am, a gray station wagon (maybe a saturn?) that was parked in front of the Barge Inn plowed into my car, a silver VW golf, pushing it up onto the sidewalk right in front of Frank's Famous Pizza and then took off.

According to my neighbor, he heard the crash, ran outside to see the driver's side of the car empty with a girl somewhat passed out in the passenger's seat. A man ran from the Barge Inn screaming at her, got into the driver's side and pulled away immediately. My neighbor was unable to make out the license plate.

Have you seen a car like this? The driver's side has to be decimated based on the damage of my car. We had to get it towed, and are pretty sure that there was damage to the axle because the rear tire was pretty much bent up onto the sidewalk because of the impact.

I'd appreciate any help because I think that people should be held accountable for their actions.

One of our goals is that the restoration of the park (closed 25 years now) will greatly improve the neighborhood and become a singular oasis we can all be proud of - this post is meant to be a reflection of that positivity - thanks

That would be excellent! Maybe it would help with the problems at Guillo's on Coles. That bar brings in street fights, gangs, and who knows what. The neighborhood has had enough and would appreciate anything that would help control this.
