Traffic PLUS

Resident states that vehicles always speed down this block and do not care for the pedestrians in the crosswalk.

Dangerous intersection - could we implement a stop sign?

Request of Stop for Pedestrian Signs in Road

Requesting a speed bump be installed to slow both directions of traffic Southbound in particular a majority of cars exceed the speed limit by the time the are in front of 689 Marin Blvd No other measures taken by JC to date have effectively slowed the speed of traffic

I’m writing as a pedestrian concerned about the safety at the intersection of Palisade Avenue and Bowers Street in Jersey City.

This morning, I experienced a close call where a car turning on green nearly hit me while I was crossing legally with the “Walk” signal.

I’ve observed that this intersection does not currently have a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI), and cars often turn without yielding to pedestrians.

I respectfully request that the city consider adding an LPI phase to improve safety at this crossing.

Thank you for your attention and efforts to make Jersey City safer for all road users.

Best regards,
Concerned resident

This intersection is especially dangerous in both directions for multiple reasons. We've come dangerously close to hitting pedestrians and being sideswiped by other drivers on numerous occasions. The pedestrian crossing from the mall to the PATH is on a diagonal, meaning that pedestrians cross along a very long area but with little respite in the median due to the large exhaust tower and tall grasses in the way; they're often walking along the curb or running out quickly in front of drivers since they have nowhere else to go. What's more is that there are cars stopping suddenly on both sides of the street to pickup/drop off passengers. Finally, the exhaust tower and grasses are super dangerous for driver sight lines when driving south, and for pedestrians attempting to cross from the median toward the mall. I go through this intersection very slowly and still have to frequently slam on my brakes or veer quickly into the other lane.

Requesting a speed bump or a stop sign at this pedestrian heavy crossings on Van Winkle and Skillman Ave. Cars speed up this hill just to beat the signal and reach JFK Blvd. There have been multiple instances of pedestrians almost getting run over.

Cars are frequently parked on the sidewalk, completely obstructing the path. At the curve where the sidewalk narrows, this forces pedestrians into the street day after day. Today, while pushing a stroller with a baby, we had to wait for traffic to clear, and the driver who had parked on the sidewalk became aggressive when we politely asked them not to block the path. I understand that there is a site entrance there, but this is one of the few accesses from downtown to the Heights. Can a removable barrier be placed?

Constituent request to have permanent Pylons installed on the corner of 52 Highland and Van Reypen Avenue.

We need traffic lights here, with an exclusive pedestrian green light. I pass through this intersection on a daily basis both as a pedestrian and as a driver - it is scary! Coming from 9th St onto Manila Ave, the visibility is limited for drivers and there are 3 pedestrian crosswalks to keep track of. There are several schools in the immediate vicinity: Cordero, Scandi, HPMS.
