Looks like they've made significant progress on the area between the two co-op towers near Columbus and Marin.

Anyone know what the current plan is for when the remediation is completed? Most importantly, will they open up that space between the towers to pedestrian foot traffic between Columbus and Montgomery?

Don't complain, local taxes pay only about 16% of the cost of educating the local kids in Jersey City. The Feds pay about the same, and other NJ residents (ie the suburbs) underwrite JC schools to the tune of about 71%, at the expense of their own families.

Your taxes are incredibly low considering how JC schools are underwritten, others are paying the lions share from their pockets.

Holy crap! I need to check out this place!! It seems like West Side Ave is teeming with hidden treasures. It wasn't long ago that I learned about the Parkside Tavern from others here in JCList. Keep them coming, please.

Do you mean New Park Tavern?

no, he doesn't. No move along.

Where is this Italian Village Section? What street?

It is going to be built. I saw some guys out in the parking lot discussing the plans and a truck emptying the old doctor offices near McLaughlin funeral home.

@ JC Progress -Are you planning to move into the new residences? Is that why you can't wait?

If the government seriously wants to help them move up the social ladder, it should help those who are willing, to relocate to higher growth states like Texas. The job creators for low skilled jobs have been driven out of state because of all sorts of taxes and they are not coming back.

I've read 66 stories. Bay Street will be extended to Hudson Street. Construction was said to start in 2013. Yay! More parking garages with towers on top!

At least JC (IMO) isn't terribly overrun by Subway yet. One at the mall and one by Grove...I assume there's at least one in Hoboken and probbaly others outside of Downtown but nowhere near Dunkin levels.

When I was at RU there were 3 in walking distance of me. They were outdoing Dunkin!

I was always more of a Quiznos fan (which, ironically, is what DD is replacing in Newport). Potbelly is also OK, I wonder if they will be making a move across from NYC anytime soon.

Qdoba and Crisp are nice additions to the food court.

I don't understand why are you so angry about it. Of course
as I already wrote in another reply , I hate people who are jealous and envious about people who own a property longer than you could imagine and you all haven't even been planned to come to this earth. So these people who own a property longer than any youngster in this city has now to pay more than anybody who just bought a property or house?? This is not fair!!! Don't you know that after every sale taxes went up automatically and that is not a fault the old citizens , no , it happened because the sellers want to get the best price on the market and made a lot of renovation and improvement to the property that the taxes went up . So don't complain, it's still cheaper than NYC and you all know this. You all want to live in a nice surrounding but still want to pay less than others who worked more than you all ever did . These people helped to make "Dirty City" to be Jersey City as you know it now and as you love it sooo much.!

The only problem with this is in regards to affordability of JC vs cops salary. It's worth considering.

With all due respect, give our mayor a bit of credit. If an "arts ambassador" position ever does become reality or if Maryanne Kelleher is on the way out, Fulop will go through the right channels and select a person with class, experience and knowledge of the all encompassing JC arts landscape.

Like David Donnelly's as the new Project Manager making $80K a year? OK, sure.

She is a great artist.
She has brought millions to JC by promoting the arts and organizing Creative Grove with its positive effects.
Downtown got an enormous push away from dollar stores and rundown buildings because of her.
If she gets any position at city hall, she's already paid for her salary many times over.

Ah, Uta Brauser, who took her gallery to Brooklyn in 2010 but came crawling back when nobody over there cared either. Is there an anti-Brauser petition going around?
