Reply to Verizon cell outages? by IAmRube

Yes, but not noticeably. Very low bars sometimes, but not disrupting calls. Strangely, this morning when I woke up, phone said emergency calls only which was confusing but after unlocking I guess it found the tower and was fine. Received this strange text from Verizon on February 10th:

Verizon Msg: We'll be working to enhance our network in Jersey City, NJ within the next week. As a result, you may experience service disruptions. Please note this work may shift out as much as 2 weeks due to unforeseen issues. Thanks for your patience as we make America’s most reliable network even better.

Reply to What Amenities WOULD Get You To... by BeMadTV

Since you can get that price right on top of the Path station with zero walk and pretty much all the amenities, I'm not sure why I'd bother living a 20 minute walk away.

Yes, you're right. However, merely making 6 to 10 loading spaces would alleviate the vast majority of the traffic and that would solve the problem for everyone.

Unfortunately, making it difficult, which is what we've done, is not a big enough disincentive to stop people from driving to drop their kids off. Combined with the fact that it is nearly impossible to find parking, even semi legal parking for 5 minutes, means we've created this disaster on a daily basis.

One of the proposed cut-through traffic calming measures is to re-close Barrow St and unify the pedestrian plaza. This would fix one of the biggest problems with the pedestrian plaza which is split by traffic in two, and imo would be the strongest measure for calming down Erie St. The current proposed one-ways would help with the northern end, but leave the southern half still used as a rushing cut-through to get to Marin.

If all this makes sense to you, please ask for that in the survey and reaching out to electeds asking for the same.

The city does absolutely nothing. I've reported traffic violations and license plate violations multiple times and never heard a thing back. The ways in which you can report them don't even allow you to submit evidence, so even if you have a photo or video it's not attached to your case unless they contact you, which they don't. Drivers drive with impunity here.
