A bit OT, but does anybody know what was the cleanup on the west corner of Burma and Bayview? It was pretty major and seems about done. Also they cleaned up and fenced off the lot on the opposite side of Burma. Casino prep?

Fair point, neverleft, I'm never there that time of day. Taking that into account I can see the need.

It all of the workers in those buildings on Burma Rd. In the mornings there are tons of people walking and riding bikes on Phillip Street toward Burma Rd. Maybe they get off at the light rail at LSC and walk???

There is a path from the LSC to the intersection just south of the stinky bridge. Who would walk from the diner circle to the LSC anyway? You have Freedom Way if you want to go north or south through the park.

Yeah I see drivers not stopping for people waiting to cross there a lot. Cops could make a ton of money in tickets there and at Grand / Van Vorst over by Prep. When the crossing guard is not at Grand /Van Vorst the cars will not stop for the kids crossing Grand. They don?t even stop for mothers with baby carriages. Here?s is something the state should rectify. When a driver on Phillip Street stops at the intersection of Audrey Zapp. The driver has to stop and then slowly inch out before making a left onto Audrey Zapp /Johnston. That has to be done because you cannot see cars coming down Audrey Zapp /Johnston because of that massive sewer bunker/mound near the corner. The state should move that thing.

Yes, but I'm not sure what you're asking here? The drivers who ignored the stop sign and pedestrians were all turning left off of Phillips to go up Johnston towards Pacific. If the bridge is ever completed, instead of turning left there, drivers would keep going straight into DTJC. They'll still keep blowing through the stop sign & crosswalk that are there currently. Is that what you meant?

Both times I crossed yesterday (and four other times this week), d*bag drivers blew through at full speed even though I was in the crosswalk. LSP is a park to the rest of us, but to drivers on Phillip this is a high speed, no-stop shortcut to the Holland. The concept that a park entrance might just be a place to pay attention for pedestrians doesn't even register with these folks.
Don't they want to bridge Jersey Avenue with Phillips Street?

100% correct. I run in LSP every day and enter via Johnston, meaning that I cross Phillip where it meets Audrey Zapp (the long cobblestone road that runs to the water). There's a stop sign there before the crosswalk. Both times I crossed yesterday (and four other times this week), d*bag drivers blew through at full speed even though I was in the crosswalk. LSP is a park to the rest of us, but to drivers on Phillip this is a high speed, no-stop shortcut to the Holland.

Be careful out there.

Getting back to the paving job?.it looks like it is done. The street doesn?t look any wider I thought it did at first. I don?t know about sidewalks. The LSP side has grass seed with a straw covering. The LSC/car pound side just has dirt maybe they will continue the sidewalk on that side. There is an old sidewalk near the LSC parking lot.
There should be a walk way for the people who walk that route. Now with the new smooth paving it will be a surely be a race track. Forget about biking they will be run over.

I never called JC Balcer Town, but it has a nice ring. If it was Balcer Town, there would be no abatements and United Water would be gone and the money returned to ratepayers.

This is what I'm talking about. Nobody gives a shit how long you've been here. City council meetings are for city business, not the history of Yvonne's irrelevant and increasingly senile biography. I moved to Jersey City, not Balcer Town.

At a recent council meeting, I talked about how long my family collectively have lived here. When I add my mother, mother-in-law and father-in-law, there is a total number of 304 years of history. My father-in-law's family has been since the 1880. Basically, you moved into my city, I did not moved into your city. So, if you cannot deal with me perhaps you should move.

You point to an excellent revenue opportunity the city has to date let slip away: pothole sponsorship! The various auto repair shops could bid for the biggest, best located holes - perhaps decorate them, paint their names in the interior... they sure as hell aren't going away anytime soon so the city might as well cash in. All joking aside, that righthand lane on eastbound Grand west of Johnston is so brutal, I can't believe it persists. Northbound Pacific under the Turnpike is chronically bad as well, despite periodic weak attempts to patch it up. Maybe if the mayor spent more time driving around the streets of JC and less time in South Jersey and Bergen county trying to build up his base for a run for governor, he'd be more aware of the shameful condition our roads are in.

Bayonne's streets are pretty bad too. I'd say Jersey City is doing an overall better job with the potholes than Bayonne (considering JC has much more area to cover).

Who ever is doing spot repairs of pot holes in JC needs to do a better job. I've seen a few large potholes (one on Communipaw at Mallory, where Sernio's body shop is) and the other on Communipaw where Crown Fried Chicken is, and both have been filled twice since the weather has improved-and both are still caving and causing havoc.

It is the snow/water on the ground that freezes and breaks up the road similar to the snow on the mountains that freezes the hard rock and causes small pebbles to slide down the mountain. It is the freezing and thawing of snow and ice that is the problem. Towns that remove the snow immediately including the Turnpike have less bumpy roads. The turnpike has more cars than JC but the roads are better. JC allows the snow to sit on the roads much too long. That is the problem.

Snow doesn't cause potholes, genius. The freeze/thaw cycle does.

Or perhaps the JC should use their $25 million surplus in the budget on clearing the snow immediately so the roads will not buckle in the first place and then repave streets where needed immediately.

Maybe accept this is a sign that you should finally leave JC and move to Bayonne? PS The streets are better in Bayonne because, when compared to JC: 1) They have a lot less people 2) Nobody goes TO Bayonne to go out (compare nightlife here as opposed to there) 3) The amount of commuters coming into Bayonne is very little (86K people come into JC for work daily) 4) They hardly have any residential development on the same scale as JC (there is very little residential development going on over in Bayonne, and certainly not on the same scale as what's happening here)

I had to go to Bayonne earlier this week and saw the difference while returning to JC. The JC streets felt like a war zone with all the bumps.

Columbus Drive was INSANE. It was quite literally worse than some Third World country roads I have driven. The thing I don't understand is why doesn't the city require or force developers to repair or enhance roads adjacent to their projects? Given how red hot the JC real estate market is, and the obvious interest in building here, making road repairs/fixes/enhancements should not be a deal breaker for any of these developers.

I guess it'll need to be re-paved after all the construction trucks rip it up when they build the new hotel/school/conference center/giveaway across the street from the Liberty Science Center . . .

I worked in postwar Sarajevo and the roads were much better than Pacific. I spend a lot of time in Detroit and Pacific is far worse than anything I've come across there. Also Johnston from Woodward to Pacific - the blacktop has contoured to the undulation of the paving underneath. If you haven't experienced it, it's worth a trip to be reminded of the value of passable infrastructure. But hey, Berry Lane Park, right?
