What I've seen today for the first time is unacceptable. I am outraged and deeply saddened to learn that not only was I misled by a member of my staff, but this completely inappropriate and unsanctioned conduct was made without my knowledge. One thing is clear: this type of behavior is unacceptable and I will not tolerate it because the people of New Jersey deserve better. This behavior is not representative of me or my Administration in any way, and people will be held responsible for their actions.

There is. Is it as easy as downtown? No but there are numerous buses that can take you around most of the city and Manhatten if need be.

as will buses and shuttles as they won't be allowed to drop off passengers and leave.

Last month, Fulop told WNYC that communicating to Port Authority is "like talking to a dead person."

The new, steel staircase is actually only 95 steps.

Well, the Hudson is not a river. If we were to consider it a river, it's a river that flows in two directions - north and south, depending on the time of day. So, calling it Left Bank is actually not wrong. Jersey City is the left bank, for about 12 hours of the day.

A bridge would never be practical. The value of the real estate on each end would be too high to purchase the square miles of necessary bridge approach space on each shore. .

Admire your grand ambition, but have you seen the height of the cruise ships that regularly travel past JC to and from the west side of Manhattan? You'd need a 15-story tower on each side of the bridge. Kind of defeats the purpose of being able to "walk" to Manhattan when you have to wait on a block-long line of people to board some type of massive elevator first.

As for a draw-bridge-- with the sheer volume of boat traffic up and down the Hudson, it'd have to be in the "up" position 23 hours out of the day.

It is fantastic to be able to walk over a major river without vehicles rumbling by at your side. Even better, London has provided two such places to do this in the last few years. The results of these efforts, combined with the comfortable pedestrian crossings on the London, Tower, Southwark, Waterloo and Albert Bridges, has virtually brought the two sides of the Thames together. This is certainly a transformative opportunity, probably wisely foreseen by visionary planners, which will define London for the future. No city has such opportunity to reinvent itself, and these bridges, more than any other development, create the setting in which to do so.

I have been lurking for years, but this pushed my button, the mass hirings. Even Healy laid off workers. Why does the truth only come from posters who the time on their hands to post all day? Its all been written elsewhere.

I hope the current facade of the White Eagle Hall remains the same through the remodeling process.

Not to take anything away from JC, but that is a REALLY ODD way to evaluate/determine diversity. How is equal distribution of ethnicities indicative of diversity?

By that standard, Montreal would be considered barely diverse (with two thirds of the population being white) but it is almost universally considered one of the most diverse cities in the word!
