Sidewalk Concern PLUS

There is no SeeClickFix category for Street Obstructionm, so I used Sidewalk Obstruction.

I already spoke with people at the Office of Code Compliance. They will send someone to investigate.

A small triangle of land next to the condominium apartment building at 278 Magnolia was recently acquired by the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency (JCRA). This is part of the Loew’s restoration project and will eventually allow tractor trailers to back up to a future loading dock at the rear of the theater.

The original traffic permit P-TP-240618163137612 was for three parking spaces in front of 278-282 Magnolia to facilitate demolition of a fence and short wall. The original permit was for 24 June to 13 July. It was later extended for two more weeks and expired last weekend.

That work was completed on 26 June. During that time no barricades or fencing were erected and pedestrians were able to use the pedestrian walkway and safely walk around the dumpsters and the work site. NO other visible work has been done in that area since then.

On 27 June, AFTER the work was completed, the ENTIRE end of Magnolia Ave. was fenced off, including the parking garage entrance and the pedestrian walkway.

The pedestrian walkway between Magnolia and Pavonia was closed until 1 July, after the fencing was changed to allow pedestrian traffic around the small plot next to 278 Magnolia.

More than 200 feet of construction fencing was erected to construct a roundabout narrow walkway around the end of Magnolia near the Loew's theater and to enclose a large area that has ONLY been used for parking a Phelps Construction pickup truck and cars.

This fencing restricts pedestrian and vehicle access to the buildings on both sides of the Magnolia St. dead end.

The construction fencing blocking the end of Magnolia was NEVER needed and SHOULD BE REMOVED!

Can someone close off the stairs that are at the northeast corner of the liberty harbor parking lot across the tracks from the dog park? They currently lead to nowhere and people mistakenly come down the stairs all the time thinking they can walk across the tracks and down liberty view. Some people turn back but a lot dangerously cross the tracks to squeeze through the fencing. Today I saw two women walking down the tracks towards the station. It could be quite dangerous if the light rail was coming and they weren’t paying attention.
