Nothing like a doctor that sells out and loses all credibility:

Re: LOTS of new Stop Signs Downtown

*True* traffic engineers take into account both -- getting cars through as fast as possible, while ensuring safety of pedestrians without stop signs every 50 feet --- which can have a negative impact on pedestrians in the wrong situations (see: 1st and Jersey, when people blow through it and pedestrians think they will stop -- only a matter of time now)
I agree with earlier postings that JC needs to hire *real* traffic engineers for a study of the whole DT area and implement timed traffic lights on Marin (it's a joke now) and put stop signs only where needed (which may be more or less than now -- no idea). That's why cities hire companies like this: http://www.rkk.com/our-expertise/tran ... traffic/traffic-portfolio

Probably well advised to get someone else to help (right vs. write).
Though I don't know anyone in the area -- stick with someone local and see them in person (don't do some internet form that says that it'll do the trick).

Re: Critical Sewer issue- downtown- 4th/5th/Jersey/Coles

I'm just a little unclear on what the issue is on the first instance. You're saying there's a sewer leak? I all see is a generic statement of a sewage leak somewhere, going towards Coles and 4ths ... and you (and presumably your neighbor) live somewhere on 4th ... I think we need more details here. Or maybe you don't know, and that's the point -- just know there's a leak ... somewhere, going to one place, and don't want to pay for it and want it to stop.
Pictures would be a huge help understand what you're talking about here. I re-read your post 3 times to figure out what you're trying to say, and I'm still not really clear. What are both of the entities stating, specifically? What is (or do you believe) is happening in your specific circumstance that you believe may be happening (and are warning others of) elsewhere? Where do you believe this problem is limited to? just 4 & 5th b/w Coles and Jersey? Or possibly even this one specific location (which would I suppose bolster the entities arguments it's your problem, not theirs). ... and that's why you're reaching out to see if others are having issues so the entities will foot the bill to fix --- which is complete reasonable if it's a problem with their pipe.

First post here. I've lived in the Paulus hook area for 2.5 years or so, and I am relocating to downtown area (3rd & Coles). I consider myself fortunate that, really by luck on my part (never crossed my mind before Sandy) that I'm a whopping 3-4 feet higher than surrounding areas that were flooded.
I was outside during the height of the Sandy flooding at this exact location: (yes you can call me stupid) Google Maps Link Point B was underwater (as were all points south along the waterfront --- super creepy to see the boats at the marina floating ~8 feet higher than normal), and Google Earth says the elevation there is ~6-7 feet above sea level.. Point A, where I was standing, was high and dry, and Google Earth says the elevation there is ~9-10 feet above sea level. Where I'm moving, or planning to, at least, at 3rd & Coles, Google earth says is 8 feet above sea level. People in the area tell me they were high and dry. Well, maybe not high, but just on the edge of having flooding, but were not flooded at that precise location. That would make this NYT flooding map (which I understand is a best guestimate) inaccurate, if only by a block or so: http://www.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2 ... -after-the-hurricane.html See also this cropped pic of that map: So ... after all that rambling, my question is this: how accurate is this map? Was 3rd and Coles not-so-high, but still dry? It would be cool if we could crowd source this and mark the true edges of the flooding. Too many little factors/draining, etc. factor into this. Maybe I'm deluding myself, but I think Sandy is as bad as it's ever going to get in the next 30-years or so, flooding-wise, so I'm happy to move to someplace I know was dry during Sandy, even if it was on the edge. I guess another way to restate my question more broadly -- is what is the above-sea-level cut-off in JC that survived and did not survive? Based purely on my observation, I think that number is somewhere between 7-9 feet above sea-level. Any consensus on that? Cross-referencing Google earth and the NYT map, they seem to think the cut-off is 10 feet.
