Washington used to end at second then start again at sixth. Second to sixth was Conrail property and fenced off.

Makes you crazy,don't it.
If they ever open Greene street up past the Power plant then Greene is to become one way going toward newport and washington will be one way toward paulus hook.
Right now its just a complete circle jerk.

Their still waiting for the light rail signals on greene street by the powerplant.It is amazing what you can learn when you eat at the same roach coaches as the contractors.

Since greene swings back toward washington,at that point washington will be two way again.

Exactly what i was thinking.  The fact that they've installed that "Do Not Enter" sign and painted the road makes it appear permanent.  And the main reason it annoys me is all the Newport Mall traffic & occaisionally Tunnel traffic too....

Just wondering if any JC insiders knew what the hell they were/are thinking...

Thx

 

The way the roads are now painted, it suggests it'll remain that way for some time. Seems pretty ass-backwards to me, as it forces more traffic through downtown side-streets. And Marin isn't exactly a bastion of 2-way efficiency these days either.

I may be the only person who cares about this... but I have to see if anyone knows anything about this.

I've only lived in Jersey City for about 3 years, but I have to assume that at one point in the not-so-distant past, Washington St. used to go through the entirety of downtown Jersey City/Newport.

Now, if you are driving down Washington Street from Paulus Hook towards Newport, you can't go past Montgomery Street, you have to drive up to marin and then cut back down to washington somewhere along the way. Does anyone know if there are any plans to open this up to two-way traffic? I can't stand the current traffic pattern...

I assume this is construction related, but it annoys the hell out of me...
