It shouldn't be that hard, you can put in those plastic divider things, or even a hard wall, and good signage. You could even put in barriers that prevent going to the tunnel from them.

I can't tell you how many hours of my life I've wasted on 78 waiting for Holland traffic to move just so I can turn off...

every single time I’ve played here some1 goes down with an acl tear. Court is slanted. bathrooms are consistently locked so players have to pee in empty water bottles. Competition is worth noting … 1 dude played in jeans and had a Bluetooth ear piece in. Smelled like shit

I played there a few times and watched three or four people injure their ankles because they don’t sweep or maintain the wood floor. Play at your own discretion

I’ve played there a couple times and the court is in bad shape. Last time I was there my friend JJ who is in amazing shape probably could beat anyone in here tore his ACL and needed surgery. He’ll probably never be the same again on the court. Won’t be going back to Dixon again

  1. They're public roads, you can't tell out of towners they can't use them, especially if the city takes state highway funds. Other towns have already been sued and lost over this.

  2. We really need a JC/Hoboken only divided lane on 78 and 139. This would make it far easier for locals to access those parts of town without worrying about the Holland Tunnel traffic.

Think I got 2 runs in the 2.5 hours I was there last time and the dude I was guarding called a foul on me several times

I don’t drive. Walking downtown from where I live is about 45 minutes. It’s already a 20 minute walk to either the PATH or the light rail. Sometimes I walk but that’s honestly more of a recreational thing.

I don’t have a citi bike path and I’m not super confident about biking in the city. With unprotected bike lanes it just doesn’t feel all that safe.

I’m in the east side of the Heights near Riverview Park. Depending on which part of Manhattan I’m headed to, I use 123 bus to PABT, 87 bus or Lightrail to Hoboken PATH, Via to Newport PATH.

I like using 123 bus to PABT due to how easy and not crowded it is, but it doesn’t come often enough for me to rely on daily basis.

I feel none of the options are reliable or available all the time. So I need to compare which options take the least time depending on the time of the day, which can be too much work.

When I lived in the Heights, it was a block away from the bus stop on jfk blvd. That was a big appeal for my commute to nyc for work. If I had to walk to Central Ave to catch the bus (10 mins walk) it would have been frustrating.

The rush hour bus (jitney) service on JFK Blvd used to be great (buses every few mins in the mornings), but I haven't lived there since before covid so no idea how it is today.
