1. Webmaster - can you change the heading of this thread to LafAyette?
2. It seems to me that with the Australians and Fulop buying in B-L, the neighborhood is getting a lot of investment cred. I'm looking forward to seeing how effective focusing abatements outside of DTJC works. There's an MBA thesis waiting to be written.

I hope for everyone's sake that the only gangs left in JC soon are The McClarens and The Peregos.

I do recall when I posted the link to the ?red zone? map last time a battle broke out. (sorry)

Looks like that JCPD officer lazily colored my neighborhood (south of Danforth, east of Garfield) red. I demand a recoloring.

Yeah OneSkirt hopefully one of the items on Mayor Fulop?s JC ?fix list? is getting decent maps of Jersey City on the ?official? City of Jersey City web site. A ward map, JCPD district map, a neighborhood map would be nice for newcomers (and old-timers who are forgetting a lot..no comment).

Whenever questions about the above maps come up everyone scrambles to find them on the internet.

I recall these as ?finds? ?.

Jersey City Economic Development Neighborhood maps and information.
(great stuff but it needs updating)

Ward maps. Someone from the JCI got so frustrated searching that he made a map in 2009.

JCPD districts map. You would think it would be on the ?new and improved? JCPD web site. No.

There is a nice district map in this SPU unofficial newspaper link ? the peacock press. It also tells students about JC?s red zones as in places with high crime.

We live in a city of 250K people and we can?t get information about it. Mayor Fulop could probably use some of those maps if he is indeed moving into BL.

Some more choice bits from the article:

"Fulop wants to offer developers fewer incentives for building Downtown and more incentives for building in Bergen-Lafayette and other areas of the city....

"Fulop won every ward in the city except Ward F, according to unofficial election results. He lost Ward F by about 50 votes, but he did considerably worse in Bergen-Lafayette than he did in the Downtown parts of Ward F.

"Asked whether he thinks he needs to work on convincing voters in that area that he will work for them, Fulop said many of his proposals ? to decrease crime, to encourage development in areas aside from the Waterfront ? are targeted to improve the lives of residents there.

"Besides, Fulop added, he intends to live in Ward F. A longtime Downtown resident, Fulop has sold his Paulus Hook walkup and seeks to buy a home in Bergen-Lafeyette"
