Trees taken down on Grove St. between 1st and 2nd streets
#1

The other day I saw two healthy trees being taken down on the East side of Grove St. between 1st and 2nd streets, and today I saw that stretch of sidewalk completely torn up.

Anyone know what's happening?

Whats happening in the 'backyard' of the B&G club? A double-wide showed up a few months ago, then a parking strip was cut out. Now, the double-wide has a nice skirt around it. Looks like whatever it is, is there for the long haul.

What's happening on Jersey Ave, behind the light rail station? Earthmovers and trucks have been at it since last week, clearing up and leveling the site. Is some construction going to start soon?

Certainly not from the Journal Square area. JSQ is much further North. This is south and west of Beacon.

Best way to get to 78W/Rt139 from Paulus Hook, avoiding Erie and Marin?
#9

Not too shy to talk


I recently (summer) started driving to work and have to get on to Rt139 en-route to Rt7. I used Warren-2nd-Erie-14th. It was a breeze, until the schools started. Now, it's a pain to get past Cordero Elementary/Hamilton Park on Erie.
I thought I could use Monmouth to loop around but looks like I will have to do Monmouth-13th-Coles-16th-Jersey-14th.
Is there a quicker way to get onto 14th-Rt139?

Any one knows what's coming up at the corner of Warren and York (right opposite Gotham)? Construction fences are up and looks like the old Lisbon Pizza building is going to be torn down. That is a pretty big sized plot.

So I was interested to see some speed bumps spring up overnight on Greene Street.

They are such an easy and cheap solution, we should push to have these deployed throughout downtown.


Those (plastic) speed bumps really worked to slow down the traffic. But for some reason, they were removed in a real hurry. I think they lasted all of 4 days!! All that is left now is the painted stripe bumps.

What is happening in the vacant plot on Van Vorst, between Essex and Morris? The site has been cleared out and some pre-construction activity has started.

These might be motion detection cameras. They are at the end of a long pole which is strapped to the traffic pole.

Any idea on what all that digging is about? First it was along Washington, followed by a pretty wide ditch along the front of Trump plaza and now they are digging up Greene! One more nice road messed up

Tourist map of downtown?

Where can I get my hands on a tourist map of downtown JC? This is for a colleague who recently moved to the area and would love to get her bearings and explore downtown. I could point her to Google Maps, but a nice paper map with some highlights of downtown would be nice.

...need to take Grove Path as late as 9-10 pm..is the neighborhood safe to walk late evenings?


That is a safe walk even after 10pm. We have returned from the city occasionally after midnight and have not had issues. At 9-10pm you still have the restaurant crowd and the dog walkers along that stretch.
I would get out of Grove PATH on the Grove St. side and walk along Grove since Grove is better lit compared to Marin.

New roof top restaurant?

Maybe this has been around for a while and I saw it for the first time today, but I saw some tables, signs, etc. on the rooftop of 333 Washington St. The signs read "Cholula Hot Sauce" and "Proximo". Is this something new?

You should check it out. I would love to see your review. I personally like the Tortas but the Tacos are very popular.

I was able to view the video in the embed above ^^^.

Even if they get the car as a perk, the car should have city tags and city council stickers on the doors. But not sure that will make a difference to them!!

A newbie question....where exactly is/was Sandbar? I have driven down to the end of Marin Blvd but don't see a Sandbar, just a parking lot for cars and RVs and a fuel depot for boats.

I don't know how the location in Edgewater looks, but the one in Brooklyn is impressive. Its a historical building, possibly a bank, and when you walk in, its like you are in a museum. I would like those same qualities for a possible store in JC.


The TJ in Edgewater is a very routine/boxy look. My biggest gripe with that location (apart from having to drive all the way there) is that they don't sell alcohol! TJ's has a pretty good beer selection and you can build your own 6 pack. According to a salesperson, its very hard to get a liquor permit in North Bergen!!

Why is Washington St. one-way between Montgomery and Pearl?

Why is Washington St. one-way between Montgomery and Pearl (Muscle Maker Grill)? The road is wide enough to accommodate two way traffic!
