cameras and other information gathering tech on the "sky watch". It was there for a reason and PR was not it.

Willar is moving back to their renovated location at 340 Grove Street. They have been in business on Grove street for almost 40 years. Always do a great job and they are LOCAL.... Call Jessie 201-320-8883, she is the daughter and can help you.

My wife and I have used Lori at D'Alessandro & Cieckiewicz (201-653-4340) for at least four closings. They really are a great, local firm.

Your very welcome....

The general rule is the north and south are divided by the "plumbstead line" In other words, due east and due west of New Egypt Twsp

Big white building with a lil guard shack? It's a Verizon service truck building, been there forever.. Why? Something up..?

The lights are not working and the old light parts remain because PSE&G is S-L-O-W..... The city has asked - and asked - and asked, all to no avail.
They move when they are ready.

I strongly recommend Quantum Property Management. Jessie is the owner and she is GREAT!! Never any issues, she is wonderful with the tenants, has a good relationship with local contractors and knows how to deal with the city. 201-320-8883

I'm with you. Passport, $1,000 in cash, 5 actors across the street from Police HQ, 11:30pm on a busy street??? I don't think so!

Please understand that these are two distinct and separate projects. The redevelopment AND the street scape. The street scape is the project that has already been funded by the DOT grant and extends to Jersey as approved. The paseo does not have an impact on the grant money.

We, the HDSID are the special improvement district that covers the area in question. Like I have said, our meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 10am. JCDOWNTOWN.COM. We welcome all of your comments and would love to have your help. But please understand that almost 13,000 people use the Grove Street PATH each day. The idea is to start near the PATH to take advantage of that number of people and encourage them to come into the district, not just ignore it and walk by. It makes sense to start at the center of that traffic and work outward. This is just the start of what we hope will be continued improvements. But it has to start somewhere and it makes sense to start on Newark from Grove west.

Thanks....
John

Yes it is... and not speaking for the HDSID. I think the paseo is a venti waste of tax money.

Yes, "A" DelForno family member is a partner in a company that owns the property that is to be taken for this paseo. 141 Newark Ave is the address. It is my understanding that they had plans that were pending approval to rehab the old building prior to the fire, so no, in my opinion, they did not burn it down. Yes, the plans have since been re-done to build a new building.

No, in my opinion the city will not police the paseo any better than they do the back of Morelees, ACROSS FROM POLICE HQ! or the public lot behind Palace Drugs.

The plan calls for the buildings on each side to have store frontage on the paseo. AND the plan calls for the CC side to also have store fronts.

Yes the street plan calls for new sidewalks (cement), street lights (bright ones), benches (sleep resistant), crosswalks (stamped polymer, brick color) and yes TREES (green ones, some in pots due to sidewalk vaults).

It will all be the same as what has been done in other parts of the city. While we are on the subject.... "The other side of town" as one poster put it. Has gotten more than its fair share of street work. Take a look at MLK, Monticello, Bergen & Montgomery, Journal Square etc.... All while downtown, where the majority of JC tax income comes from, remains a sidewalk horror show. So yes! It?s our turn.

Yes the plan only calls for it to go up to Jersey ave. The money, about 2 mil, is coming from a DOT grant. The city, with the help of the HDSID is fighting for more money to extend the project. The city requested and was granted an extension to seek more cash from another grant, UEZ and yes, perhaps the city may even put some money into it.

The council president, the HDSID among others are in favor of closing Newark from Grove to Barrow after 6pm for outdoor dining. The idea has been floated of closing the area all together; as traffic can only come west from south bound Grove and east bound traffic can only turn south onto Grove. Or... turning barrow into a paseo type street.
But it seems that the 141 Newark paseo has replaced these ideas.

Brick pavers are a nice idea, but not on a sidewalk that covers old sidewalk vaults. Can be done, but not worth the cost.

Parking on the sidewalk will not be an issue with the new plan.

Yes-My name is John Reichart from the board of the HDSID.
Our meetings are the 2nd tuesday of each month at 10am. 125 Newark Ave.
Please feel free to join us, we attempt to have as much info on the projects as we can.
