This just happened to me today. I am so annoyed. I don't think that anything can do legally. However, I have decided to boycott both this bj's and shoprite. I have been spending between $200 and $300 every other weekend at bj's and shoprite. I will no longer shop at these stores. Newport Mall is a complete shopping travesty. I have noticed the quality of the small stores has declined anyway. I can shop with much more satisfaction at Short Hills. Thank you very much.

Does anyone know when the Cosi will be opening at Exchange Place? I see the "coming soon" sign in the window and noticed construction underway. Just curious.

I'm confused...Is this the same place as Star Bar (there seems to be two threads here on the same bar) - on Wayne Street just off Grove? I didn't know they served food as well.

Wrong. This used to be a neighborhood family place - been for the 20+ year which just happens to have a bar, and most of the kids that go are well behaved.

This is a neighborhood of families mostly with young children. If you want that kind of bar, there's lots in Hoboken.

The last thing people without children want is to come to a bar/restaurant and be surrounded by kids (especially when crying loudly)...kids do not belong at AleHouse, WhiteStar,Simple,etc....go to Chile's if you have children and for goodness sake sit downstairs away from the bar area.

I don't see my favorite bartender, Holly, these days but other bartenders are also nice (one can argue about their dismissive attitude, but I find them charming).

I have a permanent handicapped hang tag and since I am not wheelchair bound use it only on the worst of my pain days. Twice it has been stolen out of our car and we had to soend the days at DMV to replace it. I reported them stolen but I don't think they will be discovered unless the tag is hanging when the person gets a ticket or pulled over for something else.

I would just like to give you an update on where things stand with this issue. I have been working with John Yurchak (Director of DPW), Captain McDonough (East District Police), and the Parking Authority. What we have come up with is this:

1. A stop sign will be placed on Erie at 3rd Street.
2. A stop sign will be placed on Erie at 7th Street.
3. The Parking Authority will be stepping up enforcement on parking at the curbs.
4. Crosswalks will be repainted.

Additionally, the blinking light on Erie at 10th Street might be switched to a standard traffic light in the near future.

The East District will also continue to keep an eye on speeding in the area.

This is a good start. The area will be monitored to see if this is effective or more is needed. This is very important as it relates to the changing needs of the area and its residents.

Sincerely,

Steven Fulop
Councilman Ward ?E?

There are four "yield to pedestrian" signs installed at Monmouth and Pavonia, but drivers don't care because police don't enforce them. Yield signs do not work.

our streets are getting more and more overwhelmed with cars, not only due to over-development, but due to motorists cutting through downtown to get to the Holland Tunnel.

So many people using the argument about cars cutting through various downtown streets to get to the Holland Tunnel. These are public streets. Everyone has the right to use them no matter where they are going. I cut through all kinds of streets in the Heights to get from 1/9 back to downtown. I just don't see how you can single out people driving to the tunnel as poor drivers that are contributing to any potential traffic issues that may exist.

On speed bumps specifically, DPW opposes them, but although it may seem absurd to have this standpoint there are valid reasons why they have this perspective including, liability, snow plows, ambulance routes, and DOT.

I wonder how many cars go unclaimed. You figure, they're taking 20-30 cars a day (which by my visual observations is about right). Many of the people are probably from out of town, some foreigners, some drug dealers and other people with questionable items in their car or other reasons for not knowing or wanting to call the police about it. I'm sure some people just figure it's a lost cause, thinking it's long gone in a chop-shop somewhere.

How long do they hold onto the car for? What happens to it after that time period? Anybody know?

The car can only be towed if you can't get out of your driveway, not if you can't get in.

Postal Service brass abruptly shut the Lafayette Branch, at 322 Pacific Ave., on Dec. 21 when a bulletproof glass door that parcels are passed through fell off its hinges, creating a security risk.

Good job incorporating an otherwise newsworthy story into an already incendiary, and entirely unrelated, thread. But Kabili Tayari is mentioned in both stories, so I guess that must mean that apologizing for slavery is relevant to studying racial bias claims in our local prisons?
