Paulus Hook needs enforcement. Vehicles speed along Grand, even with the narrow lanes; the blow by stop signs and rarely stop before turning right on red. With the number of pedestrians, including those with strollers and young children, bicycles and motorised mono-wheels and scooters that ride in the sidewalk, Paulus Hook isn’t safe for people walking down the street. Grown ups riding on the sidewalk when we’ve got protected lanes (which many responsible cyclists do use) is ridiculous. Put JCPD down here and start writing tickets.

Being investigated.

Vehicle in question no longer at location.

What? The cars that were reported there two days ago aren’t there? Great work JCPD. I guess since there are different cars parked there right now that you don’t need to enforce the no parking in the bike lane. Amazing work Jersey City!!!

Thank you for submitting this issue. Safety improvements at this intersection are planned for implementation within the next few month. We will follow up when the design is confirmed.

The crosswalk signals should all be updated to signals with timers so that pedestrians are aware of how much time is left to cross. Frequently people start crossing after the signal has changed to a flash hand (indicating don't start crossing) and don't have enough time to make it across both streets. Since they are impatient they choose to continue across anyways into live traffic which creates a backup.

Bike lane has been recently added to intersection - now is the time to fix it. Can a No Right on Red sign be installed?

Still a daily problem. Waiting for the bike lane barriers to be installed to see if that changes anything

Yes, a NO RIGHT ON RED at all times is needed at this intersection. Cars are jumping into the bike lanes and turning right

Nothing says privilege more than "I am a tax-paying landowner in Jersey City." You don't need to tell everyone that you pay taxes and you own a plot of land in Jersey City to get something done.

No one is forcing you to bus your kids outside of the area but here is the question that you need to ask:

The problem with PS 16 is that the BOE is too lazy to do thorough checks on where people live Public school students are supposed to be zoned, meaning, they should be in walking distance, give or take a short bus ride. If this is the case, why are there so many cars doing drop-offs? Where do all of these people live exactly? Especially since you don't see any of these children roaming the area on the weekends.

I live around the corner and I have never been able to send my kids to 16. So, I drag them to Hoboken.

Do you park your car near where you live ? Do you need that car to make a living ?

Hey Steven and Francine-
I came in a little hot there, apologies didn't mean to offend, I'm just frustrated with the BOE. I'm not one to complain openly on the internet unless I deem it necessary. Just trying to make things a bit safer for the 12 dozen or so kids I see spilling out over your neighborhood sidewalks twice a day. I'm talking about removing maybe 5 spots from the street to solve this problem. I hope that doesn't impact you too much, Francine. I get it. No, I don't commute via car. I commute via a very crowded, but pretty reliable PATH train. Steven- in fact I have no choice. I cannot afford to send my children to private school in Hoboken. I await your sarcastic retort to that fact. I admit it sounds entitled to say you are a tax paying land owner, but if you have a better way to the through bureaucratic red tape, I am all ears. I don't think cutting each other down on a public forum is very productive, so if you prefer I retract my comment I'll do so, move on with my life, and take the slow approach to filling out 40 forms at City Hall. Good night, guys.

Thank you for submitting this issue. We will work with the DPW to have the signs corrected.
