Second this, as a biker that hill is a great challenge and then from there it’s super quick to get onto palisade ave

I live on palisade up toward Union City and that is 100% not true. It gets pretty busy up past the supremo. People double parked, trucks blocking etc. would be pretty scary for an inexperienced biker.

Newark ave has a protected bike lane up the hill by Dickinson. I think turning on Palisade would be fine up until you cross 139 and then I would try to ride on Baldwin/Webster.

zero recollection of that. But clearly question of competence if they did. Sections should be railed off and designated no play zones.

It’s not just urban areas with this problem. There’s dozens of towns that are “shortcuts” between two highways or ways to avoid some tolls.

A fair number of mayors supported Leonia because they have a similar issue.

Nope sure haven’t. But I’ve lived on the park for 6 years and find that to be surprising. Wouldn’t know it from the state of things.

I get your point. But if that ground stays like that for much longer those trees will have to be be cut down. They’re already under a lot of stress and have large branches dead or breaking off.

I always take Palisade ave when heading north on a bike. There is no bike lane but its a wide street and traffic is pretty chill. Most importantly Palisade ave is at the very top of the palisade and basically runs completely flat all the way through HC.

Honestly though I wouldnt overthink it

Palisades is wide and not particularly busy. You can bike on it whether there’s a lane or not (based on your personal comfort level of course).

Edit: yes, yes - my mistake.

Just bike up Newark and turn right on Palisade

There is an elevator by the stairs

Seriously, this whole board is always full of people wondering why difficult and costly problems exist and also bitching about taxes.

As if the people who take their time to work on the neighborhood park aren't aware or it, haven't tried to re-seed recently and are just sitting on piles of sweet, sweet park money and laughing about their big grift.

It’s Winter 🤪

The grass and landscaping is a topic at almost every meeting. Have you ever attended?

I’m coming from downtown, but willing to bike anywhere there’s an entry point to the heights.

Where are you coming from?

Hoboken Avenue is a good one. Its quiet and has a bike lane now.

Whenever I use pre check the only delays are waiting for the CLEAR folks to cut the pre check line.

Convert a portion of it into a calisthenics park.

Jersey runs into the park and Washington doesn't have an exit to the tunnel unless you loop around and go down Grove from the North side.

It basically shuttles 100% of the traffic to Monmouth, and then has almost no other way to get to HP so anyone who lives in that area would be f'd.

Here’s what I think should happen:

All residents should get Waze/Google Maps/whatever on our phones. Then we routinely go in and mark key roads as closed, causing the app to divert traffic a different way. :)

So interesting about the ground being so compacted! I always knew there was some reason - but now I know the reason! Thank you

10 - 20 minutes. Clear + tsa pre-check. It depends a little on how crowded the airport is. I've never had it take more than 20 minutes and rarely less than 10. United will also pay the clear fee for 1k members.

It's worth it.

Always* I got toddlers too but the way some of these more “nature friendly” daycare/preschool kids play is kinda ridiculous. They reseeded a pretty large section this past spring and the kids from one of the fancy preschool were literally ripping the grass apart. For an hour straight.

You’re an idiot.

It’s impossible to eat something and get sick right after unless you were poisoned.

And as someone who worked closely with health inspectors in Manhattan back in the day, it would take multiple people calling about the same problem. And not just one or two.

And Honestly did you wash your hands before eating?
