So I'm not 100% sure, but i live in Weehawken and there's new construction going up next to the Sheraton hotel. I heard the noise last night and it almost seemed to be coming from that job site. Wonder if they were testing some heavy equipment, or maybe adjusting/securing for the strong winds forecasted today.

Weekday: Good

Weekend: Unreliable due to lack of frequency and frequent daytime construction interruptions


Verdict: It's a miracle it was even built and that compared to the rest of the country is fairly frequent and above average in terms of service.

Edit: The fact at peak it runs at sub-10 minute intervals and only stops running from ~1:30am - 5:00am is crazy for the US and even some other countries. It is actually pretty decent service. During the week.


The biggest issue is the state thinks way too commuter oriented when there is actually a lot of demand on the weekends for the light rail. It needs to be more frequent and they need to stop the weird daytime construction that anywhere else would be done at night.

It’s pretty good, schedules are infrequent late at night especially if you are going to west side or Hoboken. It’s pretty fast though and it’s all on dedicated row so it doesn’t get caught in traffic. Buses can be faster sometimes tho because the route is very circuitous especially downtown.

Clean up the area yourself. I don’t own a dog, why should my tax money go to cleaning up after your dog? You chose to live in a city and make your dog have a terrible, confined life.

Yeah it was hexavalent chromium. It was in the fill that was brought to site when they built those buildings.

Problem with the Marin site was they would have to significantly disturb the ground to build a new building and that would kick up dust and require remediation. They are effectively moving into an existing building which doesn’t have the same scope of remediation.

They're also building out the above to be NE Headquarters offices.

But having zero information, the theme in JC is usually our permitting & inspection offices are slow, bureaucratic messes, and not sized appropriately. Basically everything here opens years after announced opening dates.

I'm hearing mixed things about whether WF is actually going to open. I was recently told that WF had some conflict with the developer/city and as a result will not be opening. But from this pic is appears like something is happening. Who's got the skinny?

I mean what am I missing here? WF cant find a contractor to build out a store in under 3 years? How long has it been? Are they just eating the rent every month? Its really an impressive level of incompetence even from a large Bezos owned corp.
