I would consider it to be downtown...Brunswick is recognized as downtown in the Hamilton Park/Harsimus Cove area and this is just beyond the Village by a block or two...

The police have been notified for every recent accident on First Street (that I am aware of) because in all cases accident reports were filed for insurance purposes and in some cases, cars had to be towed. One of the drunk drivers even left their crashed car and fled the scene on foot. And this past Friday night at 3 am there was a loud fight and lots of screaming. My boyfriend said one of our neighbors notified the cops - I was out of town. Another incident that I recalled since writing my first post - was when we came home an Easter gathering on Sunday at about 10:30 pm. Indio's must have been closing about that time because people were milling about and one man was peeing on our doorstep - and we live several buildings down from the bar! I appreciate all of your information relating to the shooting and the mugging, however more needs to be done in this out of the way neck of the woods. Indios is starting to attrack a rougher crowd then normal and the safety and cleanliness of our neighborhood is being compromised.

I have class on Tuesday evenings and have never been able to attend a Village Association meeting. This Tuesday I have final exams so there is no question that I will have to miss this month's meeting.
However, with that said, I hope that someone brings up the recent incidents that have occurred on the First and Second street blocks between Merseles and Brunswick - including but not limited to, several drunk driving accidents involving Indio's customers hitting residents' parked cars on First Street, the mugging of a woman at 6am on her way to work on Second Street, the inappropriate and lewd behaviour of Indio's clientele at the bar's closing time such as fighting in the streets, shouting and having sex in their parked cars at the currently dead-ended First Street after hours. And lastly, the apparent shooting that occurred on Brunswick and First two months back after Indio's let out for the night. Not enough information was released by the city involving this incident. This is unacceptable behaviour and there have been far too many occurences in recent weeks to continue turning a blind eye.

I'm so happy to see this thread! Our bill has been outrageous these past few months. We understand the necessary increase in our gas charges from the summer months due to the chilly winter temps. However, I cannot understand why our electric bill this winter has been double what it costs in the summer when we're running the central AC almost 24/7! I keep calling PSE&G to complain that there is something wrong with our meter. We'll turn everything off in our miniscule 550 sq feet apartment and go out in the hall and watch our meter still go round and round!
So I scheduled 2 appointments. They only work M-F between the hours of 9-2, or so they say! I had to take 2 days off of work and both times they didn't come by 2 and I had to leave to get into the office. When I called to tell them I was leaving they said that the technician was still coming, he should be there around 4:30. Nope sorry, not hanging around! Not only that but it takes them 3 weeks to return your phone call to schedule these appointments! PSE&G has the worst service I have ever encountered. Are there no alternatives? It should not take double the amount of electric for our 550sq ft apartment then a 3000 sq ft home!!

I also have to agree that this neighborhood is quiet compared to others, with the exception of this unusually bad week. We moved from Coles street which was so loud especially at night - the roads had so much foot and car traffic and the ambulances and police cars with sirens blaring caused us to move. We now live right near Indios and honestly, I think it is still pretty quiet. Although, I wish they would close that place down and this weekend's incident confirmed that for me...

I agree! And not only that...but how come there isn't more information on this shooting in the news/online? Does anyone have information? That is my neighborhood and I find it quite disturbing that no information can be found in regards to a shooting...I'd like to think that something of this nature is not being considered run of the mill (yet) no matter what the location. The police/mayor's office should release information on it...

Scarlet, I live on first ave by the crescent court construction and have always felt safe walking at night. During the week I walk home any time between 6:00pm and 11:00pm from the PATH. Yes, the area has less foot traffic, but there is a police presence at Carmine's Pizza. Just as long as you keep your wits about you - it is still a city. If I were coming home past 11:00 alone I take a taxi from the Grove PATH, but I would probably do that if I lived in any neighborhood in Jersey City. Best of luck and welcome to the neighborhood!

I don't think that a parking lot needs to be ugly or space wasting. I have visions of downtown Jersey City looking a bit like Red Bank, NJ - it always had a very nice downtown shopping district but about 20 years ago it was not nearly as nice or condusive to pedestrian shopping as it is now. There is a municipal lot behind the store fronts and people can walk all down Broad and Front Streets. I think having parking on both sides of the street like Washington or any street in Hoboken for that matter would look crowded and then there is the issue of double parking and horn honking. The only difference with Red Bank, though, while it is urban in fee compared to the surrounding towns, it is not in a super-urban-close-to-nyc area. Also, for the record I do not have a car that I keep or use in Jersey City. I just think that making the area more condusive to both pedestrians and drivers should be a goal.

There also needs to be a municipal lot or parking garage that comes right off Newark Ave or is right behind it. This way people can park and then walk up and down the storefronts...
Especially if the lot behind Skinners has been sold to a private party...

Mark, I am curious as to your thoughts on the Newark Avenue redevelopment stopping at Jersey Avenue. With all this talk of the passeo vs. extending the redevelopment westward on Newark or what merchants want vs. what the community wants - I'm wondering how you feel about the redevelopment proposal being a merchant west of Jersey Avenue.

I don't know if I have any new ideas other than what has been discussed here. Extending the redevelopment beyond Jersey shouldn't be too difficult...continue westward with the paving of the sidewalks and streets and the addition of benchs and new street lamps...Everything else, new businesses, restaurants, etc should follow. I do, however, disagree with the paseo - especially if it is going to be located in the empty lot steps away from Grove Street. That opening is just too narrow to have store fronts or restaurant seating without tearing down one of the adjacent buildings. When I walked past today, I was disgusted by the thought of eating in that dark, narrow passageway no matter how nice and well-lit they make it. The buildings next to it are just too tall and it's not a very open space. It would require artificial lighting at almost all times of the day. Why not make Newark Avenue a one-way street, have Columbus continue to be the busier two-way street, and make the sidewalks a little wider allowing for outdoor dining?

I absolutely agree with you - some development is better than none, but what came first the chicken or the egg? If Newark Ave between Jersey Ave and Brunswick was redeveloped, wouldn't it "get less seedy?" Especially with the new Fields housing project on Newark just across from It's Greek to Me, in full swing, you would think they'd want to continue the development westward. Brunswick is a definitive stop to Newark Ave in terms of the downtown area, it would look strange if the redevelopment ended at Jersey.

I'm sure the city is well aware of the construction happening at 6th and Coles - I lived right next door to the construction site (formerly a parking lot for 2 cars) for 2 years and for a about 6 months, maybe more, the construction came to a hault because of unsafe working conditions and permits...

I love that there are so many shore locals on this site and presumably living in jersey city! long branch is definitely a nice beach and i think it's 7 dollars to get on seven presidents. there are also great places to get italian ices (lighthouse) and food (windmill) and it's not as trafficky as other beach areas.
