Re: JC Gov Web Site & Sandy: Embarrassment

On the day or before the President called Mr. Healy, if I recall well his prim photo was up on the City's home page occupying highly valuable real estate that otherwise should be flashing critical life-saving information. And now especially in the aftermath, when the storm damage is not fully assessed, the city website should be the go-to place; yet the top to bottom scrolling one needs to do to glean valuable information otherwise bullied into a thin strip of text by Mr. Mayor's newest addenda of campaign photographs, belies a lack of decency.

Phase III work has begun last week from Coles St. with the pavements. I hope whoever won the contract will not repeat the Phase II pavements!

JOGI,

Thank you for your candid, detailed and honest assessment of the sidewalk construction, not to mention keeping the dialogue informative and courteous. Though it wasn?t your role to do so, you win lots of points for sticking your nose to explain your work. One can?t always expect bouquets, but the City could have done better with keeping people informed.

As for the cross walks, it takes two thermoplastic stripes per crossing to create some form of safe space for pedestrians. It's unfortunate that the crossings remain a hazard while the City decides to decide.

Thank you, again.

I am a government servant living in downtown Jersey City though not part of the local or the state government. JOGI comes across as a decent and patient person, having had seen his approach in addressing concerns aired on this forum. His latest post, however, betrays some facts on the ground and the role of a contractor in commenting on tax payer-funded projects.

JOGI is the superintendent of the construction company of the eponymous name, correct me if he isn't, and should reasonably be aware that the taxes rendered by so-called complainants on this forum whom he paints as possessing "modest knowledge of any subject", is how he gets paid. It's not a conveniently phrased "local government"-- perhaps half of whom seem adept at pilferering public money and are now undergoing judicial scrutiny--that pays him. It's outrageous a contractor airs mocking comments vis-a-vis tax payers! This usually is the case when accountability is eroded in local governance. JOGI's sincerity could do with a dose of realism, first: own up the less-than-professional sidewalk construction. It's a civic betrayal, sir, to present the taxpayer with amateur construction, and none on this forum need knowledge of what a good job looks and feels like.

JOGI was way off line to blame listers, divving them into the genuine and not-so-genuine questioners. One need not have a degree in government to understand how government works. A flop show exposes itself.

That JOGI tackled unsafe vaults is not the issue, if he didn't, he should be fired; that he did, is part of the paid contract, and a pat on the back. The issue is "fancy cross walks", as he phrases it. I am sure JOGI must have seen the elderly or children in strollers or the handicapped crossing Jersey Avenue at the Mercado Park, for instance. Today, at 8.45 am, when the cross light was green, a girl had to rush across the street where the painted cross walk might have been, as a car, oblivious of the signal, swerved towards her. A cross wall empowers the pedestrian, re-assuring to whatever degree it can the sense of security, and right of way. Would it make a difference if the cross walk had been painted? A drunk driver wouldn't care less, but common sense says pedestrian safety is not up for debate, especially since grant money is meager!

While "fancy cross walks" are not painted, we find that no-parking zones and parking lines next to the coin meters are neatly painted within your budget! This, sir, is the local government's priority, and you are out to bat for them! Perhaps painting no-parking zones near road corners is a safety issue, but the local government doesn't think that that should be done at all road corners in downtown. The message this sends is that the local government, touting its long-life thermoplastic idiocy, wouldn't waste a day on revenue from painted parking zones, but is indifferent about pedestrian safety. "Interjection of truth", indeed. Someone said that one act of real usefulness is worth all the abstract sentiment in the world. You, sir, do come across like a person with a sense of responsibility and accountability and I hope you take this in the right spirit; and if a local government official is reading this, reign in the contractor's public laundry wash and you, bum, get on the forum and redress the problem. Thank you.
