I was here last week and got the best haircut that I've had in a long time. Very nice place inside, and the staff was very professional.

According to Fulop's most recent email, the paving won't even begin until next Spring. I have to say, I find it hilarious that they've been planning this project for four years, and the road has yet to be touched. Can't wait to see what it looks like after another winter!

There is zero logic for adding a lane of traffic. I walk down Columbus every morning and there is not nearly enough traffic to justify this. I just emailed Fulop again.

Does anyone have contacts at the Jersey Journal etc to get more coverage of this? I can't believe they want buses and trucks barreling down a road with pedestrians steps away

I heard back from both Fulop and the Mayor's office and the bids for the paving of Columbus should be approved next week and then start a couple of weeks after that.

Definitely good news!

Guess what? Paving of Christopher Columbus is again delayed. Heard back from Fulop and apparently the bids for the project were 50% more than they had expected so they are now "deliberating" as to what to do. Not sure what deliberating there is to do, the road is practically gravel. Apparently Fall is a likely timeline which we've all heard before.

If anyone would like to get involved in coming together to get the city to commit to getting this paved, please email me at PaveCCdrive@gmail.com.

Finally!! It looks like they are getting bids on paving the rest of columbus:

Who knows how long the bidding will take, but at least there is some progress.

I honestly think it may have something to do with the Path being underneath Columbus Dr and that the city found complications here with paving the street above the Path. I think this may be why Fulop is not responding to my emails about this.

Has anyone heard any updates recently about the paving of Christopher Columbus Dr? They conveniently stopped paving between Brunswick and Monmouth, precisely where the road begins to totally fall apart. I've email Fulop several times about it and have not gotten a response. There must be something going on.

The road is really in a dangerous condition and a complete eye sore. Does anyone have suggestions of other people to contact?

I know this is slightly off-topic, but has anyone heard an update on the paving of Christopher Columbus? It's getting really bad, both for driving and road noise.
