They’re building new things on like every other block in JSQ. They’re putting in a new park, this museum, all of the retail that comes with the new developments (Target at JSQ, restaurants and cafes) — that’s just off the top of my head. Idk how much more attention a neighborhood can get, frankly. Just a strange POV.

Pershing field was a better place to run before track was paved. An aide to Mayor Fulop said they would put in a few lanes of real running surface but its been a few years and nothing has been done. Bikes should not be allowed on track.

Heights should have a good running surface for people to run and walk on. During Covid years, Pershing field was good for exercise while Riverview-Fisk was mostly closed. Bring back ice rink asap.

I’m not protesting anything, I just think the area has been grossly overlooked while we waited 10 years for Kushner’s towers to go up. Some of you people need a sense of humor.

I'd forgotten about that one. Pretty small park, no?

A large portion of the park is still brownfield 'space for none', and the ballfield on Grove is very nearly so. There's room to improve this without depriving anyone of their current LSP experience.

Theres a public dog run in the Marin Green park at marin/8th next to cafe esme. The park is gated but its a public park.

i swear i am always yelling "stop sign" at the back of speeding cars, sigh

LSP is such a nature sanctuary and some idiot in another thread propose building a soccer and baseball field there. You can literally see deer out grazing at dusk.

my favorite places are the fragments of the natural world still left:

the short but calm, beautiful boardwalk of caven point btw the stupid golf course and port liberte (it sparkles with lightning bugs in the summer)

the few times a year the Reservoir is open so you can hike the perimeter, it's like stepping back in time. (if they tear down those very OLD trees up there i will be so upset)

and

the fact that there are fewer than 100 steps at the 100 steps (i think it's 96. lol)

Thank you, this is a very sensible answer.

I agree 30 million COULD be a boon to Journal Square but I don’t agree an exotic art contrivance is what’s lacking. There’s a whole lot of lacking though.

yeah but it's ignored by locals, sigh

Park Tavern

U high?

Is the Pompidou paying? I thought it was Jersey City paying THEM.

Agreed. Why the secrecy? Only further undermines public trust. Now I want to know who really is bankrolling this trip and what’s their agenda?

I do think that Fulop could be a better advocate. Agreed he doesn’t control but together with other mayors, they should flex their muscle more and better advocate for residents.

Lincoln park has a big dog run it should show up if you google it. Biggest I've seen and he/she would get a good run. It's fenced-in and also has a smaller little area gated off it. From the main part of Lincoln park, it's over the bridge crossing the US-9, almost by the Hackensack river. Little out of the way but it's nice and quiet the few times I've been over that way.

Best large dog park in the area is Washington Park.

There is a public large dog park in Hamilton Park. The dog parks in Newport are all private, and the other public dog park downtown, which is behind shoprite on 1st St is smaller than the one at Van Vorst.

Don't go with your unleashed dog in LSP. There are numerous endangered and threatened species, including nesting birds.

If they don’t know where to spend extra tax dollars how about they just start taking less of it ?

Windsor? Increases have been STEEP

Had signs up, someone parked anyway

I called the number and someone came out, but he didn't give a ticket or tow... so basically he came out to say I was shit out of luck

Your experience may vary

Actually they did. Between 1910-1940s JC saw a lot of big projects including PATH, mostly because of the local influence the city had. It wasn't just a city next to nyc. Secondly, who gives a fuck if anyone from NYC comes over. Not everything we do has to revolve around NYC you do realize that right? Fuck how NYC feels about it. If they come great, if they don't ok. Not changing my perception

I don't think you're even gonna find HEPA filters anywhere. If that's your benchmark, I would do what someone else said earlier and just call up the gyms, but I would be very surprised if you found any doing more than just asking that people wipe down the equipment after using it.

My booster efficiency is starting to wane, so I'm planning on masking up again at the beginning of the month, but it's been made blatantly clear to the public that we're on our own - no one in charge gives a fuck about seriously trying to end this on a more permanent basis other than mitigation for those who aren't at risk.
