Thank you for submitting this issue. We will have this corrected.

Our signal technician has corrected this issue.

The lights and buttons work separately, but not together.
The lights on BOTH sides should flash when EITHER button is pressed, but they don't.
Only the llghts on the same pole as the button flash when the button is operated.
The lights on the other side of the street DO NOT flash.

We will have our signal technician take another look at this location.

Sean G.,
I reported this more than a month ago and it's still not working properly.
In the meantime, the sidewalk on the northwest corner has been closed for no apparent reason. See Issue ID: 11756659
That means that all westbound pedestrians on the north side of Pavonia MUST use this crossing to get around the construction site.
Pedestrians can't walk on the south side of Pavonia between Summit and Homestead because Journal Squared 3 has closed the south side for half a block and not provided a pedestrian walkway. See Issue ID: 11817044
That makes the repair of the pedestrian lights more urgent.
The lights on BOTH sides MUST flash when EITHER button is pressed.

Agreed. This needs to be addressed urgently.

According to various articles, the completion of Journal Squared Tower 3 is scheduled to occur in spring 2024. That's more than two years away!
NJ adopted the federal 2009 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Part 6 Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) applies to all the construction sites along the 600-block of Pavonia Ave.
MUTCD Section 6A.01 General states:
Standard: TTC plans and devices shall be the responsibility of the authority of a public body or official having jurisdiction for guiding road users.
In other words, JC Trafffic is responsible for ensuring that the construction sites have compliant TTC.
JC Traffic's response to the issues raised so far seems improvised and incremental, with pedestrians considered last.

I tested the signal lights again today. They're still not working properly.

jerseyflea -- do you participate in the Journal Square Community Association? We could use a guy / gal like you.

JSQMKM,
I am not a member of JSQCA, but I do get email notifications from them.
I used to episodically attend meetings before COVID.
Kevin, Dario, Bill and Renee, among others, know me.

Thank you for advocating for residents and visitors in JSQ, jerseyflea. I wish the City staffed so that they would lead and address these issues more promptly. Agree with JSQMKM that your voice would be very valuable at the JSQCA

Perhpas we'll see you at a meeting soon!

Issue 11880493 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

The JC SDL Portal website has a "Traffic Permit" map that shows current and planned street and sidewalk closures. There are no current closures listed around Journal Square at all!
Yet, two building sites in the 600 block of Pavonia have closed sections of the sidewalk, inconveniencing thousands of pedestrians and exposing them to traffic hazards.
The portal shows no current information for the offending sites at 605, 615 and 616 Pavonia. It does show that the JH Assembly Hall has a permit to close their sidewalk on JFK Boulevard, which expires on 3 March.
The "AMENDED PRELIMINARY / FINAL MAJOR SITE PLAN - JOURNAL SQUARED - PHASE 3" submitted to the JC Planning Board has 18 sheets. Item 9 in "Site Notes" on sheet 8 states:
"Site logistics plan and construction staging plan to be submitted to the Jersey City Building Department and Division of Engineering prior to construction.
Plans to include but not be limited to: commencement dates, pedestrian protection methods, location of parking, trailers, vehicle loading and unloading etc."
Who is not doing their job?

WOW! So they've been blowing smoke the whole time. At our last JSCA meeting I was told by the Traffic Committee chairman that the city knows about all these street closings. I have no idea now what the truth is.

I tested the signal lights again on Wednesday. They're still not working properly.

I tested the signal lights again on Sunday. They're still not working properly.

Jerseyflea, why don'tyou get in touch with Councilman Boggiano's new aide, Pam Andres. I think she would get you some action on this -- traffic obviously has no intention of getting it fixed.

Issue 11933238 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

This is still an ongoing issue as there are backorders on the parts necessary to repair. Our division as well as our signal maintenance team are aware and working on the issue. SCF will be updated when the work has been completed.

A large orange "SIDEWALK CLOSED - USE CROSSWALK" sign is still needed here.

This issue has been corrected and is now fully functional.

I tested the signal lights on Saturday. They're finally working properly!
That took almost two months.
What about the large orange "SIDEWALK CLOSED - USE CROSSWALK" sign that is still needed here?

Per traffic department this issue has been corrected. There is a separate issue #11865134 regarding the sidewalk. Please look at that request for updates. Thank you.
