Hello, he is talking about Grand street not CCD.
Scary that he dosen't even know that.
Guessing he & Urban whatever consultants don't even no where CCD is or Grand street.

BTW, we all know Peter Mocco is the biggest criminal in town.
All that property is in his wifes name for good reason........

I can't see that even a fully built LH would necessitate two more traffic lanes on CCD.

True they would use grand but you still have to get off the turnpike on CC than go right on jersey to grand.

I always liked the plan they had for a tree lined island in the middle of the road.

Surely Liberty Harbor won't be built out for at least another decade, at which point Columbus will have gone through at least one more paving cycle. Well, I guess that's being generous. Just because most roads as busy as columbus should be repaved more than once a decade doesn't mean roads in Jersey City will be.

So true. It's a miracle no one has been killed yet. Most people ignore the button and cross against the light. The walk signs should change automatically!!

Any chance of a bike lane or at least a sharrow lane with bike indicators ?

Thanks Steve, for keeping your constituents informed on concerning issues. Keep it up. Good news for the short term.

Councilman, can you do something about CCD and rest of waterfront to citizens without the monthly permit for at lest 30 mins to an hour without being booted?

Exactly. Even when they are backpeddling they can't get it right.

That's very good news. Now all they have to do is fix the walk signs which seemed programmed for the purpose of killing pedestrians.

Good news that Engineering isn't going to eliminate parking and implement the 3-lane plan.

We will have to stay on top of this issue if it comes up again. I have done a lot of research, and I never found when that plan was authorized -- only references to the plan being a done deal.

We'll need to be vigilant.

Surely Liberty Harbour traffic would use Grand not Columbus.

Robin.

We need to stay aware next time these issues come up for public comment and make our views known. This forum is a great place for us to stay informed.

If the city were smart, it would leave CCD as is with parking and encourage residents of an expanded Liberty Harbor North to use mass transit or WALK.

I want to close the loop with residents on Christopher Columbus. Many residents are concerned about a proposal to change Christopher Columbus Drive?s traffic pattern. It seemed to many there was a plan to eliminate parking and create additional lanes to facilitate more vehicular traffic, which from my standpoint was problematic. In the past several months we had urged many people to reach out to engineering and our office has followed up on this consistently. Because nothing had come to council for approval and paving was set to begin within the next week, we sent an email to the engineering department to get clarity and closure on the proposed plan. I am sharing with you a response from engineering which should set aside concerns.


"Councilman Fulop,

Yes, there was a new striping plan designed by our consultant Urbitran Associates for the entire stretch of CCD. However, it was prodigiously designed for a future condition based on a full build-out of Liberty Harbor North, Peter Marco?s projects, and others in the general area. Since those projects are still not completed yet, we do not expect the large traffic volume at this time; therefore, we will not implement that traffic plan until the traffic condition warrants it.

At this time, we are planning to stripe the road to match the existing traffic markings with respect to the lanes, the parking, and the Taxi stands, following the same current condition so that there will be no obvious changes. We will monitor the traffic condition after we pave and stripe CCD and if necessary, will make appropriate recommendations for further improvements at a later time. There will be no legislation needed at this time."
