You should be able to, I got the same ticket but didn't have the time or energy to bother going to court.

Has anyone noticed how half the signs are bent or on the ground/non-existent?

$45 really isn't that bad for appetizers, burgers and drinks. I'd say that's fairly cheap...

Well at least they did that. It would be nice to get some color in there; it's so bland right now. A statue in a small field.

I'm concerned about the small memorial park at the intersection of Brunswick and C. Columbus Dr. I went by it the other day and it looks awfully disheveled. The grass hasn't been cut, the sidewalks around it are full of weeds and covered in garbage and it just needs some help. Who is supposed to take care of this? I really would just love to go in there myself and spruce it up, plant some flowers/bushes and make it better.

Does anyone know who to get into contact with or if there is an association that does this kind of work?

You know what really bothers me? How the city will nonchalantly ticket a car 3 seconds after a 10AM street cleaning rule, but when it comes to the important issues, they are over looked. I understand enforcing littering is close to impossible, yet there are ways to alleviate this dilemma.

Jersey City is a creative community. Where are the artists? I didn't go to school for nothing. Pitch a petition to the city where neighbors work together to make aesthetically pleasing garbage cans. Maybe each person could contribute $3 for supplies. Let's say there are 400 residents on a block, give or take; basic multiplication says that 3x400 = 1,200. That is more than enough money for a few garbage can creations. It sounds good on paper, but if people care so much about this issue, let's put our foot down. Yes, residents should not have to deal with this, but complaining gets us nowhere so we must take things into our own hands during these kinds of situations.

Maybe someone would jump on board with this or suggest another idea.
