Traffic PLUS

Can we get planters installed at the curb extension? Parks constantly park in them and it defeats the purpose of the extension, especially now with the destroyed bike parking that was acting as a pseudo bollard.

On intersection of Abbett and Booraem, there’s not enough streetlight and there’s no stop sign. With the parked cars on both sides on the street on Booraem, cars can’t see when someone is trying cross from Booraem to Abbett or vice versa. Can you please look into this and place lighting and a stop sign here?

The pedestrian cross light at Newark and Summit Ave (crossing from one side of Newark Ave, in front of the library, to the other side) takes a very long time to change. As a result, most pedestrians don’t wait. I strongly suggest that this light is fixed to make it pedestrian friendly and/or that a crosswalk is added here.

Drivers are consistently driving down 2nd Street at dangerous speeds and ignoring the Stop sign.

We’re urgently requesting a speed hump or other traffic calming measures (e.g., stop sign, traffic light) on grand street between Clinton and Arlington Ave directly across from Arlington Park. Despite having submitted a prior formal request, cars continue to speed dangerously on this stretch, and there have been multiple crashes in recent months. It’s a high-foot-traffic area, and young children are often crossing to access the park. Pedestrian walkways are often ignored by speeding cars.

During an afternoon walk, I witnessed the aftermath of a terrible accident that occurred on the corner of Central and Hopkins Avenue. Where you see the orange in the picture is where the victim was on the ground badly hurt. Her lower left leg had been sheared to the bone from the ankle up to the knee on the inside. It was horrible and she lost so much blood. I hope she is ok. I think she was taken to Jersey City Medical.
In the meantime, I have to tell you that this intersection is very unsafe. There is a school across the street and usually a school crossing guard. It needs a TRAFFIC LIGHT. Please do something. I don't know that a traffic light would have helped this woman, but I don't know that it wouldn't have either. This is a terrible situation.

Is there anyway a stop light can be put on that intersection of Waldo and Newark Ave Because that left turn sign doesn't seem to have drivers proper attention and they still continue to make the left turns anyways especially during school hours Not only it’s unsafe for the school zone but for the children on lunch or dismissal times

Traffic on Columbus and Marin is a headache and a hazard during rush hour and now with all the construction on Marin its becoming a nightmare.

Have you thought about
1. directing cars coming onto Morgan street between Marin and Newark to Newark Avenue
2. directing cars coming onto Morgan street between Marin and Warren to Warren Street.
3. By doing this you can remove the light on Marin/Morgan which will eliminate the backup on Columbus

just a thought

Absolutely ridiculous A plethora of open spaces and this panel can decides to hang out in a non parking zone Stop catering to these 2 blocks of businesses and put up barriers to allow for safe pedestrian passage

The corner here is incredible dangerous for pedestrians crossing. Cars heading east on Newark make aggressive right turns and I have almost been hit multiple times now.

The signaling was recently redone on the corner of Paterson Plank Rd and Palisade Ave. Not only does there seem to be more car congestion and haphazard turning than before, but now pedestrians must wait for two complete traffic cycles to cross (which I just timed at 5:30pm to be approximately 4 minutes). This is leading to large groups of pedestrians waiting on these small, unsafe corners. The signaling is now a pedestrian all way, which while a great idea, only gives pedestrians about 16 seconds to cross. A few days ago I saw an elderly woman unable to make the full crossing of both streets in that amount of time. So, she waited, which means it took her nearly 9 minutes to traverse a single intersection. This is seriously negatively impacting the most vulnerable street users and completely disincentivizes pedestrian traffic. Please fix this—pedestrians should have the same priority as cars and be able to go after both ways of traffic go.
