The flaw with part of that plan is that no one would observe a no left turn sign. Look at Waldo for instance. There's a no left turn sign there, and cars constantly are turning left on it. I've even seen cars doing it in front of cops and nothing happening.
It also doesn't really address the other issue of the intersection of cars going down Pavonia and making a right onto Newark coming to that intersection craning their necks behind them and racing thru that stop sign rather then stopping and then looking up Newark. it'd still be a nightmare for pedestrians. I think you still need a light. I LOVE the idea of making that section of Pavonia a One Way. that would reduce the traffic that occurs with the people turning .

Spectra Pipeline Questions

I was wondering if anyone know definitively what was going on with the Pipeline. I work in the Construction industry and an associate of mine was telling me that Spectra has begun work just south of the NJ Transit Rail Yard and Tracks along the Long Slip that runs between Hoboken and Jersey City. (He didn't go into details) Also, is the Metering Station underway as well - is that the construction that is going on across from the Lackawanna building? Anyone know?

Another accident on Pavonia and Newark

A 20yr old was coming down Newark on a bike when a car driving up newark turning onto Pavonia just hit the bicyclist and sped away. The bike actually swerved out of the way and the car still managed to hit him, throwing him directly into the stop sign knocking him momentarily unconscious. His bike was 40 feet up the street on the sidewalk. Luckily the police were here in minutes and took him to the hospital.
This intersection needs a light. There is an accident here more then once a month.

Anybody ever go to the Captain's meetings? A friend of mine recommended it to me to have the police address the problems with this corner. I've never really heard of them so I'm curious how often people's complaints get addressed.

When the accident happened there was about 4 cops standing around "supervising" the sidewalk work. they just watched the accident happen.
honestly they've been doing the sidewalk in this section for about a week now and it hasn't stopped people from running the sign or started the police doing something about the people running the sign. most mornings on my way to work i stand in front of the cop that just ignores it.

Corner Of Pavonia and Newark (by Dickenson)

Not too shy to talk

At the corner of Pavonia Ave and Newark over by Dickenson HS a Cyclist was hit by a car this morning by a car that ran the stop sign. As someone who lives on Pavonia and crosses it to walk up Newark every day, I find it extremely frustrating that the Stop Sign there is never observed by buses and cars alike, and that drivers won't even stop to let me cross at the crosswalk, but are in fact looking up Newark as they get to the crosswalk, and speed through in order to get in front of a car. There's an accident almost once a month here where a car or jitney doesn't stop and hits a car coming down Newark. I have called the police and complained repeatedly that there should be someone there enforcing this stop sign, but have been completely ignored, and in fact I often see police cars themselves speed right through the stop in order to get in front of a car. There has to be a way to make this corner safer.

You're hearing the freight trains under the turnpike. I live right there on Newark/Pavonia across from Dickenson and can hear them every morning at like 4am wheels squealing and blowing their horns. There's 2 sets of tracks that run there one on a bridge and one directly under it right below dickenson running around the cemetery. The dotted lines on the map are all the tracks running thru there (although some of it is the PATH underground i think.

Hilltop Neighborhood Association Meeting

Not too shy to talk

I was wondering if anyone attended the hilltop neighborhood association meeting tonight? I had a conflict and couldn't go, and it's the first time I've heard of there being an association in this area and am interested in the items discussed (it's also called the island area)
We've had several break-in's in my building, as well as my car has been broken into directly in front of our house, and lately we're finding blunt debris and baggies in our vestibule in the morning and and being laughed at by the police when we ask for more patrolling in the area. I'm hoping the association is addressing these issues since i hear that it's a common problem on our block (pavonia between newark and chestnut) If anyone can give me more info about the association that'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Actually, i think psychobilly999 and I are thinking that private parking is the way to go at this point. maybe not necessarily patrolled parking, but something out of the way all the same. We live in an area that crime seems to be noticeably increasing instead of decreasing, and my tolerance has reached it's breaking point. between parking tickets, burglary and new tires because of potholes, we've spent a small fortune on our crappy little car, i might as well spend it on security.

I hate the jitneys! there is an accident involving one of them AT LEAST once a month near my apartment. I live by the corner of Newark Ave and Pavonia (right by Dickenson HS) and those f**kers refuse to stop at the stop sign at that corner and will just roll into the intersection looking up Newark ave and not paying any attention to the cars in front of them.
I've seen them hit so many cars, including my own at that corner. Usually there is barely any damage to them and they usually total the car in front of them (thankfully not that much damage to mine). The drivers are awful. they all seem to drive like maniacs. They pick and chose who and where they want to drop off and pick up people, half the time refusing to drop me off at my bus stop or picking me up at the stop. the buses themselves always smell like piss, and they rattle like they're about to fall apart any minute. I'm glad they got rid of some, they should get rid of them all or JC should regulate them better.

Hoboken's cabs are ridiculous too! they make you share a cab with 3 other people even though the sign that you pick the cab up at clearly states "1 fare per cab"

Even the dispatchers seem to pick numbers out of a hat. One night I'll get charged $7 and the next it'll be $11 from the same company. And I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to share a cab with someone when I grab a cab from the stand. I'll go to the back of the line and start yelling at people until the cab takes me home.

I'm so tired of taking cabs home from work and them making up a number for how much my fair is going to be. Why don't they have meters? Why do the ones that HAVE them never use them, or tell you numbers other than what is right in front of you? Why isn't this regulated at all in Jersey City and Hoboken! So aggravating!
