Agreed, but 60-90 days is plenty of time to hire people. And pricing should be more like $1000/year for residential permit parking and $+5000/year for non-residents. We need to consider street parking as the prime real estate that it is and promote public transportation and cycling.

I hope you guys are also pushing for better public transit options to get across the city rather than just slowing everyone down.

I'm all for good police--Police who both protect civilians and police the police. But the thin blue line was not recently "invented" as 135JC suggests, it's part of a systemic us-vs-them mentality that is at the root of the problem we face.
Cops do not inherently deserve respect. They have to earn it. You don't get respect through corruption or by painting lines on our streets. Who painted/approved the lines? Terrence, can you please investigate?

The thin blue line represents police corruption. "You don't cross the thin blue line" whether a cop is right or wrong. We have a serious problem with corrupt police in Jersey City and these lines painted on our streets represent a flagrant resistance to change for the better.

What's the deal with the blue line painted down Montgomery st between the yellow lines and the red line painted on Newark Ave?
Is this part of Police Lives Matter and now Firefighter Lives Matter, too? Did this go through some kind of approval process? http://www.philly.com/philly/news/new ... nifying_or_divisive_.html

Fulop is done. He will not be reelected in Jersey City now.
Who will our next mayor be? Any bright, progressive local people out there who would do well by the entire city? Someone who is not corrupt, not seeking higher office beyond Jersey City and not incompetent? Here's the list I see: Barbara Camacho Sean Connors Sandra Cunningham Rich Boggiano Greg Kierce Rolando Lavarro Dan Levin Charles Mainor Bill Matsikoudis Bill O'Dea Candice Osbourne Joseph Scott Michael Yun Anyone else out there? Maybe someone that needs to be recruited into the role?

Fulop neither cares about improving traffic safety nor does he have the knowledge or skill set to do so.
We need a new mayor who truly cares about the safety of Jersey City's residents.

Fullop doesn't care about Jersey City people. He's going for the governor's office and can't be seen as anti-car to win over car-centric New Jersey.
You can forget about safe streets as long as he's in office.

The embankment park can be 100% funded by private and corporate donations, as long as we preserve it until the funding comes through. Have your sewers and and your fancy parks too.

We don't need tourists. We need quality of life for our residents. A park atop the embankment connecting the waterfront to the heights via the bergen arches will provide that. A casino will not.

Pretty sure Cory B is just trolling. Pro-Casino anti Park? Either a troll or lowlife.
The embankment is a key part of the rejuvenated Jersey City, a connection between the heights and downtown that will connect the waterfront to the Bergen Arches. It is a protected historical structure that must be preserved until the money is raised to properly open it up to the public. The lack of imagination on the part of some is pathetic. Tear it down for a street level park and it's just a median along a busy roadway. Build condos on it and it's just a wall. Leave it as it is and it's a place for plants and animals to thrive undisturbed until it can become the world-class park that Jersey City deserves.

This is a great idea and would not be difficult at all. It would take just a few cones and some help from the PAPD. In the evening, buses could have a dedicated lane south on Hudson from Canal, entering the south side of the tunnel via Laight St, and then cross back over when they reach Marin.
In the mornings, busses could turn off Marin, sticking to the south wall again, and turn off at Hudson. It's a feasible and cheap solution to increase the use of public transit and take a load off the PATH. The only concern would be if the tunnel is wide enough for 2-way traffic.

It's not about one thing killing a tree. It's about multiple stressors combining to weaken and kill over time.
Take a look at the dead and dying trees all around you. This is a symptom of global warming.

Someone (Terrence?) should file a FOIA about this to see all communication about the mural and its destruction. Yes it was crappy art on the street, but the way Steve Fulop and Brooke Hansson handled this was abysmal.
