I can't wait for no one to believe the data that this is good for business and the city economy overall. I still can't believe that Times Square has cars driving through it, especially during the busiest times of the day....

Someone illegally parked here at the intersection of Jersey/Columbus delay buses headed to Greenville, McGinley Sq and Bergen-Lafayette. Bus drivers can’t make a clean turn and drivers on NB Jersey need to back up and move to the right so the bus driver can maneuver past the illegally parked car.

Hell yeah. Let's get them off the BQE, out of our downtowns, oh and we need to invest in micro freight and blue highways. Hear me out - let's flip the incentives so it's cheaper and more efficient to transport goods without trucks. Consider Low Emissions Zones and Truck Appointment systems too.

I recently learned that there's 19K people driving daily on this road, and ~60K bus riders daily! Def seems like more space should be going to buses than cars given there are 3X more riders. Kudos to Hudson County for pursuing this project, it could be the largest BRT in the country outside of NYC.

Earlier this month, yet another serious preventable crash happened on our city streets. SafeStreetsJC releases the following statement calling for rapid, low-cost quick-build improvements to all our serious and fatal crash locations, including left-turn calming and leading pedestrian intervals.

On Friday, August 7th at Montgomery & Barrow, yet another left-turning driver hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk in downtown Jersey City, leaving the pedestrian in critical condition. We pray for their quick and full recovery. Last year, at Jersey & 6th and Summit & Sip, two vulnerable road users were killed last year by left-turning vehicles that did not yield. The continued level of injuries of vulnerable road users is unacceptable under Jersey City’s commitment to Vision Zero.

Over a year has passed and no progress has been made on addressing these and other fatal and serious injury crash locations with quick builds and improved street design. Leading pedestrian intervals and banning left turns at key intersections can be done immediately at little cost, if any, to Jersey City; until changes are made, dangerous intersections continue to be dangerous with no relief in sight.

Considering the level of danger on our streets, the time for more studies, more explanations, and more delays is over. We call on Jersey City to get things done and release its plan to reduce injuries at fatal and serious injury intersections, calm left turns, and promote safer, alternative modes of transportation with improved bus priority and building protected bike lanes.

Saw this on Reddit and agree. I had a close call the other day. Just like any other street downtown, there are 4-way stop signs. But what makes it even more dangerous is how drivers recklessly speed between Montgomery and Newark Ave www.reddit.com/r/jerseycity... @jerseycitynj.bsky.social

My statement on the crash that occurred this morning.

A car struck a pedestrian this morning near Van Vorst Park. The pedestrian is in critical condition. This is a tragedy, and one that we see far too often in Jersey City. Too many people have been hurt or killed just trying to cross the street, and we are not doing enough to stop it.

The city needs real traffic calming now, especially near our parks and schools. I’ll be pushing the administration to fast-track improvements to this part of the city before another one of our neighbors is hit by a car. Traffic violence like this is preventable with the right policies and infrastructure in place.

It’s great to see a standing room only on a 9-Montgomery bus after 8:30. We advocated for better bus service on the 9 last year but the best we could get was service extended later into the evening. Nonetheless, the demand is there and that’s great to see. Hope we can get better service.
