Description
I am writing because residents have asked me to contact you regarding several projects of construction in Jersey City. The first request is at the corner 282 Saint Paul's Avenue and Liberty Avenue there is an uneven Jersey City sidewalk that has a big green United States Postal mailbox. Residents on St. Paul's Avenue and Liberty Avenue have requested that Jersey City Construction Division install a new sidewalk for this uneven sidewalk that has the USPS Mailbox next to an old and big Jersey City government planted tree. The concrete is uneven and it can lead to fall or injuries if someone uses the postal mailbox and parks their car and walks on the sidewalk near the tree and sewage gutter or a dog walker. Many residents kindly ask for the City Construction to only install a new sidewalk for this section of uneven pavement near the mailbox and tree.
Second, in front of building 282 St Paul's Avenue the Jersey City Construction crew removed two trees or one tree at the sidewalk and would like cherry blossom trees to be planted again after construction is finished at the same locations where it was removed if possible. If not, residents ask for big round gray concrete planting pots to be placed at those locations in order to beautify the area. The residents of St. Paul's Avenue and Liberty Avenue want trees and big round planting pots at those locations.
Finally, residents ask that JC Construction Code Inspector put white lines parking markings on the side of the roads of St. Paul's Avenue and Liberty Avenue so that residents and visitors can park at the spots on the streets rather than parking even where drivers sometimes have hard time removing their cars from the side of the streets due to uneven space. These are the 3 requests that residents have asked and hopefully the JC Construction Crew can fulfill them. Thank you for reading this message and for your cooperation. Have A Blessed New Year!

Unfortunately, you put a lot into one request and each goes to a different division. Please create 3 different requests so that they can be routed to the other divisions. Otherwise these will not be addressed and tracked properly.
1) Uneven sidewalk is the responsibility of the property owner and will be routed to Code Compliance, who will issue a notice of violation to the property owner if a violation is found.
2) Issue of street trees would go to Forestry or Sustainability to review.
3) Would go to Traffic Engineering, but I can answer this one directly. The City does not paint parking spaces along City streets. The parking spaces would have to be made to fit the longest vehicles and would result in the loss of many parking spots in an area that already has a dearth of parking. spaces.
I am so sorry to make you create separate requests after you carefully gave all of your requests in such a beautiful way. I just want to make sure the very different requests get to the proper divisions that can truly address each request in a timely fashion, rather than get bumped from division to division and probably closed out before every issue is addressed.
Thank you so much for looking out for the neighborhood. This is a great service you provide and I am here to help you on any other issues you might encounter.
