Thank you Marion for your efforts in this. I will keep this case open until the bollards are replaced.

I have even asked our councilwoman of JC has to have to wait until ALL15 of them have been killed and thrown away before we get new ones...

Back when there were only 2 or 3 that had been knocked down we posted on seeclickfix about it....

And then when another couple of them got knocked off we did the same thing.....2 or 3 could have been replaced.... Sadly now we have wait til the big order they placed for more (probably when they order a larger citywide quantity of them the per unit rate is slashed...(which does sound smart) However the problem is that there's a back order and its going to take time till the manufacturer gets them to us....a
cetera at cetera.....

I have personally witnessed a few drivers impatiently passing the stopped bus again lately; it's just a matter of time before someone gets hit in that crosswalk. Why isnt JCPD olicing that spot at least at night when all the commuters are getting off the busses there?

These southbound drivers pull into opposing traffic (the Northbound lane of West side Avenue) because they're in such a **** hurry ...it's only a matter of time before omeone will be hit in that croaswalk.

I am aware that my tone sounds militant and angry but I'd rather be angry now then afterwards ...because of there is an accident or a fatality because nobody listened to me I will sound a lot worse.

I am really hoping this can be repaired much sooner than anticipated because it is becoming obviously a huge risk now that they're almost ALL missing!

And to make matters worse say are probably gonna tell us now they have to wait till springtime because the snow plowers can't plow West side Avenue correctly ..... That was the excuse I got last year about why we had to wait the Spring time to get them in.....

I am keeping this issue open because community members were told that the materials were backordered. Until the bollards have been reinstalled I believe the issue remains unresolved.

Also there is a limit to controlling aggressive drivers. They are ultimately responsible for their actions, but to curb illegal and reckless behavior it might help if the local police district temporarily increase neighborhood patrols near this site during the am and pm rush.

Something to consider for the Buildings & Streets Dept

Here is a website for Rugged plastic posts that spring back upright after impact. Might save some replacement time and money when they are knocked down.

The bus stop here is supposed to be relocated to help reduce unsafe conditions at this intersection (*at which the city refuses to install at traffic signal to delegate rights if way as clearly ad possible*) - does anyone have information as to where this process stands?

Were the delineators replaced?

If yes, what about the other safety issues?

I want to make sure whatever did not get addressed, gets the attention it needs.

I have ANOTHER two tickets about this that is almost 12 months still open...when they were destroyed mid 2022 they were at last replaced in fall of 2022 but sadly... they were installed much TOO CLOSE TOGETHER ...by spring of 2023 it was clear that EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE BOLLARDS.. when the bus stopped to let off passengers... cars can easily pass the bus on the left deliberately by going into opposing traffic lane...this puts pedestrians crossing from the west side of the street to to Harrison Avenue in serious DANGER as they tend to feel safe given the bus is at a full stop and they can see cars coming from Communipaw to their right....they have NO REASON to look left into WSA going the other way yet cars are there about to hit them.../.tooo many drivers are too impatient to wait for the bus and don't realize the bus is stopped becuase there is a pedestrian or two in the crosswalk...this is a serious concern of our neighborhood and never seems to get fixed...it is always a story...Mira the council woman and I exchanged numerous emails and for the past 13+ months the story is they are on back order.. Last week *end of January 2024* PSE&G took them UP and now there are NONE THERE..if there is an accident the city has been duly warned multiple times and I save these as proof. PLEASE can this get fixed!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????

@Althea.... Please help us!!!!!! I literally have been on and on about this for several years...they get put in then destroyed...we get it...but then they were put back on teh road in fall of 2022 and put waaaay too close to each other so that when the bus is stopped impatient idiot drivers behind the bus could pass the bus in the opposite lane...so now we have waited over a YEAR for the city to put in a few MORE to make it a lot HARDER to pass the bus....and then last month they were all REMOVED.

9/19/19 Good lord!

Yeah, the delineators are on, but the ones we will replace them will be much stronger. Maybe we can get PSE&G to replace them.

1) I need to check if this will be repaved shortly.

2) I will also place this on our list for safety review.

2019!!! Geez

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
