    Magnolia Ave & Summit Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07306, USA - Journal Square
    People continue to park in the limited pedestrian areas along the JSQ buildings forcing people to weave between idling trucks/cars or walk into traffic. This issue has been raised multiple times. Enough is enough -- there are so many actual parking lots in the area so there is no reason for this egregious behavior. The city needs to hold these drivers or the developers accountable.

    Our street was just repaved, and we're wondering when the two speed humps will be reinstalled.

    pedestrian crossings have not been cleared on this busy street posing an accessibility issue and safety risk
  • 544 Summit Ave Jersey City, NJ 07306, USA - Journal Square
    This is an incredibly dangerous 5-way intersection for drivers and especially pedestrians. Five-way intersections are particularly dangerous because, without timed lights or a traffic circle, people don't know who's turning where, causing drivers to nearly miss each other and turn directly into pedestrians in the crosswalk. To add to the dangerous nature of this intersection, it is poorly lit, and crossing on foot or bike, feels extremely risky. There was a terrible accident here a couple years ago, and the area needs a serious redesign to avoid another tragedy.

    Extremely dangerous crossing at Waldo and Newark: my young children and I regularly cross Newark at this crosswalk. My children are either in their stroller, or holding hands. Even with the flashing crosswalk lights on, drivers regularly disregard pedestrians. Just today, we were crossing and a driver sped toward us from the light up the hill. He was utterly unaware that there were people in the crosswalk and, it turned out, was looking at his phone.

    The city needs to take drastic measures to ensure the safety of our children and families, especially along this busy thoroughfare. The flashing lights are a small step in the right direction, but much more needs to be done. Traffic enforcement coupled with serious calming measures are crucial to ensuring that drivers will respect pedestrians and cyclists.
