Thank you for reporting an issue to the City of Jersey City. We will investigate.

Officer reported area clear.

You have to come check the area when school is scheduled to begin. You can check with the Boardof Education what time the buses arrive at Grand.

Officers are dispatched to issues as they come in. If you see that the school buses are parked illegally you can submit an issue and a Officer will be dispatched.

By the time they are dispatched the buses have left to take the kids to school. May we please have a more effective means to address this issue ? Can I submit a request today for tommorrow morning ?

Thank you for reporting an issue to the City of Jersey City. We will investigate.

Officer reported area clear.

Of course it was clear this morning at @ 7:30 because Jersey City Schools had a delayed opening !!! The buses are there now.

You reopened this issue @2:47pm on 12/2/19 the Officer reported the area clear @4:15pm on 12/2/19 you received the response on 12/3/19 @7:37am once again this Office is Open Monday thru Friday 7am to 3pm and closed on Holidays. Due to inclement weather response times will take longer than usual.

The buses block traffic every morning from 8-9am and in the afternoon starting at 2:45. Come during one of those times. Please. With the new bike lane the traffic and safety issues are completely insane

The buses are there right now. Three buses blocking the entire eastbound lane of grand between warren and Washington.

See. They will leave by 815

3 buses in a row. Someone must be dispatched by 8am Monday.

Thank you for reporting an issue to the City of Jersey City. We will investigate.

Officer was assigned to area this morning and reported area clear. This Issue has been assigned to Traffic and Engineering for possible signage for drop off and pickup zone.

At 752 this morning. You are dispatching park authority too late

With the recent narrowing of Grand Street to accommodate a protected bike lane Grand cannot become a drop off and pick up zone because the road is now too narrow. This is no doubt the reason why all the bicycle lane studies that everyone from city hall cites to as improving safety did not show a school pick up and drop off on Grand. PLEASE do as everyone here has requested and dispatch an officer at 7:45 to give parking ticket to the buses. Someone is going to get hurt if this continues.

Officers have been assigned to this issue on several occasions school buses appear to be there for a few minutes and then leave. A drop off and pickup zone would take up a few parking spaces at the curb witch would alleviate the traffic issues that are happening because of the double school buses dropping the children off to school and picking them up.

1)The residents were promised by the elected officials that the bike lane would not cause loss of parking except as shown on the plans. You are now suggesting that we should not rely on what the elected officials promised. 2) Please read what the residents of Grand -- the people who witness this every morning --- have written. The road is too narrow -- with or without a drop off zone-- for the buses to park on Grand. No on can get past them without driving into the oncoming traffic lane. 3) 15 minutes or 5 minutes is enough time for someone to get hurt.

I have forwarded this issue to traffic and engineering so that they can assist in providing a solution a pickup and drop off zone for the students to get to school safely whether it be on Grand Street or Close by.

Officer dispatched @ 2:30 pm and reported area clear.

Officer dispatched at 2:39pm and reported area clear @2:47 pm

School buses not parked correctly and obstructing traffic. They also are crossing over to oncoming traffic to pull out. Jcpd presence should be there from 745 to 830 to control the situation

School bus using emergency lights when not an emergency. Loading children without stop sign activated. Parent attempting to cross the street. Someone will get hurt if this is not addressed.

FYI -- There is a public ( NJ Transit) bus stop at the corner of Washington and Grand and one side of Washington street in front of the school is already posted "no parking" in the morning on school days. If someone does get hurt the record should be clear that the regulations regarding parking, traffic and school bus safety are not being enforced even though there are existing available alternatives.

Director of Parking Enforcement has reached out to Director of Traffic and Engineering for a resolution.

Someone should also reach out to the Board of Education because they are the first ones that will get sued if someone gets hurt. Note also that if the red lights are flashing all traffic in both directions is supposed to stop completely 25 feet away from the buses until all the children are loaded on the bus -- I seriously doubt City Hall and/or residents and/or commuters want Grand Street brought to a complete dead stop for twenty -thirty minutes every rush hour.

Accident waiting to happen

Still happening

Tractor trailer forced into other lane this morning. Reducing street to one lane. And if cars were parked in the new parking lane there would be no egress for anyone.

Officer was dispatched to this issue @ 8:14 am and reported area clear 8:20 am

Why doesn't parking enforcement just call the board of education and ask them what time the buses arrive?

I am working with a member of the School Board to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
