So how does PAC money fit into this proposal? Would it be considered non-JC money and thus banned (if this somehow passed)?

I second these guys! Excellent work, very fast and reasonable prices. For a charge by the hour company, they do not waste time at all. And they were very friendly with great humor - made my move pleasant, and moving is never fun! My Yelp review on them: We used L&L Movers in Hoboken a few weeks ago and had an excellent experience! They were on-time/early, incredibly efficient and careful with our things, and were really nice guys with great senses of humor to boot. Its not often you get that last part, which made a yucky job a truly good experience. They were also great communicators and worked with me to explain the sequence of how they wanted to move things out when I asked, and asked how I could best be of help to them (even if just to stay out of their way). I wish I could recall the forman's name - but the crew included Brian. That's the crew you want - they were superb. I also like that they bill by the hour and there are no extra charges for junk like wrapping glass, packing your tv safetly, or safely stowing art in the truck. They are cash only, but many of the hourly moving companies are. They came in well under the estimated 8-9 hr. window they gave us (5.5 - 6 hours is what it took).

Please help with a YES vote. The JJ Poll trolls are taking it over and spamming the NO votes. This lack of traffic safety enforcement city-wide is a huge public safety problem.

Absolutely agree. Its all due to lack of enforcement that's created this chronic public safety issue. Many years ago, my car was totaled on Coles St as I was driving south.I did not have a stop sigh, but was going the speed limit. An SUV completely blew through the stop sign at 4th st and broadsided me.It was awful. Come up to JFK Blvd if you REALLY want to see pervasive recklessness. Its very scary.

Exactly. I also live right by there. As a single woman, I am comfortable at this bar, which is a casual neighborhood pub. A "dress code" would be absurd there. This place is a very good business. They have been completely cooperative with the police, keep the place clean and are great neighbors. They cannot discriminate against whom they allow in, to a degree. And they do monitor loitering outside their doors, and keep the scene friendly and polite inside. There were not aware of their 1 employee's gang ties (she had a successful bartending career downtown in reputable places and wasn't some unknown in the industry). As soon as they learned of it, they told the police and terminated her.

Candice, thank you for your response. We have a systemic issue of pedestrian safety CITY-WIDE, not just downtown, and the majority of it is due to lack of enforcement. That's great that you are working on something for dtjc. But this is a city-wide chronic problem. I urge the entire Council to make this a priority, and that includes getting the Mayor to commit to a real holistic plan. We need a VISION ZERO type a approach.

Councilwoman, with all due respect, this is not a traffic engineering problem at this intersection. It is very clearly marked to STOP in multiple places, fresh paint etc. Plain and simple, this is a lack of enforcement issue, and its a problem city wide. Until this Administrations gets SERIOUS about consistent (and consistency is the key) as DeBlasio has gotten in NYC with his VISION ZERO program, Jersey City will never ever be the one of the 'best mid-sized cities in America.
I lived by this intersection, and around dtjc for 17 year and this behavior has been going on for at least that long (its not new). Now 4 yrs of living on JFK Blvd. which is a MONSTER speedway under JCPD enforcement jurisdiction. We've have numerous fatalities in recent year. This is a violent way to die and we should not have to live with such fears walking around our neighborhoods, just like we should not have to fear gun violence happening to us. 15+% of all murders in JC last year were caused by car cashes. THESE ARE VIOLENT CRIMES, and the whole administration needs to get on it city-wide and treat them as such. Criminals also drive and its proven that consistent police traffic enforcement not only makes roads safer, but boots police presence and deters other often more violent crime. We need to demand a change as a city, neighbors. I applaud these residents for getting the attention. Let's see what the follow through is. I'd love to work with them.

I personally think the Beacon goes only to the Grove St. PATH as a matter of marketing/cache.I mean why would all those rich folks in the "gated hill" towers of the isolated Beacon want anything to do with the surrounding neighborhood,including JSQ? They want to keep the illusion for residents that they are "luxury" so they only want to take them to the "nice" part of town, dtjc.

I'm no fan of the PA, but this is correct in part:
?It?s irresponsible for a city to allow indiscriminate growth that?s going to tax public infrastructure beyond its capability,? Mr. Degnan said. JC Mayors and Planning have been way over-building without any planning for infrastructure growth and improvements. This applies to roads, sewers, police, pedestrian access and transit planning, etc. I can't stand what's becoming of this place in terms of the over-crowding without proper infrastructure growth. Its mind-boggling. Having been here now for 21 years, many of us have been screaming this for decades and the Mayors never listen, especially Fulop.

Its funny they are deeming the annual repaving efforts a "Face-Lift" as if this work is more extensive than the annual repaving done yearly.
I'm shocked that Duncan Ave from West Side to 1/9, along side Lincoln Park is not on the list. That's been in terrible shape now for years and is a major Ward B artery. Which Jersey City roads are getting a face-lift?

The only people it "hurts" are those who are middle & lower class who have owned homes for many years/decades (bought at cheaper values, passed down through families) in areas that have boomed, like dtjc, and now will get a much higher tax bill. These are the people who may face issues of not being able to afford to keep their homes. The flip side of that is that they could chose to sell and reap the profit of the higher value (but yes, that is a version of people losing their homes, though they would get money for that, not a total lose at all.) Not saying these people don't matter, just answering the question.

Does anyone here find it ironic that the loudest voices attacking the VNA have a lot of time to gripe on a message board, yet don't go to the public VNA meetings (or create their own organization in their neighborhood if they oppose them so strongly) to get more info and engage in the discussion?
You have to join the dialogue to make your voice heard. No one is going to pound on every door bearing information. If you don't think the city handled it properly, then talk to your Councilperson. Engage yourself.
