This lot is shaped like a slice of pie.

They should disguise the new powerhouse as a giant slice of pie. It could be the largest public art piece project in the city.

After all, it’s in the Powerhouse Arts District. Why not have a powerhouse that’s also art? It could become recognizable as a symbol of Jersey City, similar to the Colgate Clock or the Peachoid water tower in Gaffney, South Carolina.

The Port Authority is probably going to spend an obscene amount of money on this new structure anyway. They might as well do something interesting with it.

Reply to Does Lyft not work in JC? by jman457

NJ drivers have a very hard time going to the city. They are not allowed to pick anyone up in NYC so they end up losing money taking you to NYC. If that’s where you are going, take the path and get a ride once across the river. It’s expected courtesy to text a driver in NJ after you order the ride and ask if “ NYC ok?” . If you are not going to NY- I don’t know. Shouldn’t have an issue

Reply to comment by Unspec7 in St Mary of the Immaculate Conception on 2nd st told the funeral guests to just park and block the street. People parked, like me, who need to go can’t leave. What can I do? How is this allowed? by munchlaxsleeps

If these cars were blocking the street in front of a police station, I’m sure the police would find a way to get the cars moved in a timely manner. Even if it’s ultimately the job of the Division of Parking, the cops would pull strings to make sure the right people show up right away.

A bunch of cars blocking an entire street is a major public safety issue. They could get in the way of fire trucks and ambulances. The police shouldn’t just throw their hands up in the air and say “not my job!” in response to something like that.

They do not have jurisdiction over parking violations. Not trying to flame you or anything, but think about it for a second:

The democratically elected city council/mayor (their "boss") specifically takes away their jurisdiction and gives it to a separate department. Do we really want to create a precedent where the police department just usurps the decision of the council/mayor and re-assumes jurisdiction? That doesn't seem like a good idea.

Yep. They're on the same "level" as police and firefighters.

>Department of Public Safety comprises the Police Department, the Fire Department, the Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (O.E.M.), Parking Enforcement, and Fire Prevention
