Ain't gonna lie, they redid a complete new sidewalk and planting in less time than it takes path to fix the escalators for the fifth time this year.[/quote

Did you notice if they put heating coils under the pavement? That sidewalk only gets shoveled when it snows in Manila.

This makes me feel a little less anxious about the repaving of the sidewalk on Waldo. Granted, we are not in the high traffic area that Grove street is, but I hope the replant the trees.

Contrast that to the state of Monmouth between Columbus and First. The trees have been gone for a long time, and the sidewalk is still a hot mess.

Btw the City has a full time forester with staff in the Division of Forestry. He's supposed to be on top of this. Also, I think that there is some kind of obligation of PSEG to configure themselves so that we can have trees. Wasn't there a master plan to bury all the lines? Maybe we should do a class action suit?


In NYC there are lots of Linden trees and Ginko trees and they seem to flourish in an urban environment. Linden trees have a wonderful scent especially in the spring.

I have no ideas which trees need what work. But on that particular block, I can't imagine any alternatives. The trees might have made the block look a little nicer, but they had also wrecked the sidewalk.

I also have no doubt they'll plant trees on that block, and most likely in other spots as well. Just because they don't do it 30 seconds after taking the trees down doesn't mean it will never happen.

I am extremely disappointed with the constant destruction of trees in Jersey City. Trees are assets, and can make even a shitty looking block look attractive; unfortunately, there are far more trees coming down and being trimmed ridiculously than being planted.

a simpler, less hysterical solution might be to plant trees that are more suited to cities.

No. F**k that. The roots will never get big enough. Living with nature is an important part of life. You want to pave all the parks because a tree might fall on a kid? No.

They've taken all the trees out on that side of that block and are rebuilding the sidewalk.

I don't have any solid information, but: The trees were completely destroying the sidewalk. That sidewalk was seriously buckled by the roots. In fact, JC List posters have bitched about the poor condition of that side.

It's possible they grew enough to affect any infrastructure in the ground (e.g. pipes), and might also be at risk of falling over in a big storm.

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?
