Notified About

  • Christopher Columbus Dr & Marin Blvd Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    The left signal turning from Columbus onto Marin coming from Grove Street was apparently intentionally turned off to allow more time for people to drive across Columbus. This makes it basically impossible to turn left onto Marin, as you have to cross two lanes of traffic, wait for Marin to clear, and wait for any pedestrians in the cross-walk. It often takes one car two full cycles to turn left through the intersection. It should be turned back on and the whole cycle should be lengthened to solve both problems.
  • Grand St & Jersey Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    With the recent explosion of traffic on Jersey Ave due to the direct link to Liberty State Park, the intersection at Jersey Av and Grand St has turned into a nightmare. There need to be dedicated green lights for turning left as well as dedicated safe crossing time for pedestrians instead of having to negotiate with frustrated drivers turning left. Big safety issue and very disappointing that the city did not address this before opening the floodgates.
  • 155 Washington St Jersey City, New Jersey, 07302 - The Waterfront
    Why is Equity Residential above the law? This building is subject to Rent Control but Equity Residential doesn't follow the regulations in lease renewals. Why is the city not enforcing ordinance 260? Why?
  • Christopher Columbus Dr & Monmouth St Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    The intersection at Christopher Colombus and Monmouth is VERY dangerous because at the light on Monmouth there are two car lanes one for going straight and one for right turns only. When the light turns green more often than not cars that are in the right turn only lane try to go straight causing a dangerous and unexpected merging situation. I see near collisions every morning.
  • 247 Washington St Jersey City, NJ 07302, USA - The Waterfront
    idiots continue to risk lives. Vision Zero....literally.
  • 149 Essex St Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    Trees on Dudley St and Van Vorst St in Paulus Hook are growing out of control, and brings in many birds that bomb people, cars and the sidewalks with large amounts of droppings. It’s disgusting as well as a health hazard. Please heavily trim or completely remove trees. Have pictures of damage this has caused, but app only allows 1 picture upload. Original request was in July 2022. Nothing has been done.
  • Parking issues Acknowledged
    Grand St & Washington St Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - The Waterfront
    My children are bussed from PS 16 to Danforth. I am becoming increasingly concerned with the lack of a safe area for the numerous buses to pull over on Grand and Washington. Every morning and afternoon the buses gridlock the street, and create major traffic because there is not adequate parking for the 6 plus buses that are needed to facilitate getting these spillover children to their Danforth school. Children are forced to walk into the street to get to their double parked buses- it's an accident waiting to happen. How do we go about removing residential street parking on Washington Street from Grand to Sussex to help with this issue? If you stop allowing residents to park on Washington in front os PS 16, it will greatly expedite the bus situation and make things MUCH safer for pedestrians and drivers in that area.
  • 280 Grove St Jersey City, NJ 07302, USA - Downtown

    Broken city council and Ordinance enforcement.

    Ordinance 260, Rent Control is not being enforced. Per Ordinance 260-6C a rent control exemption only applies if the original owner files a claim of exemption at least 30 days prior to the completion of construction of a multiple dwelling. The default in Jersey City is Rent Control, not an exemption to rent control yet the council, the landlord tenant office, our mayor, Stephen Fulop and the Rent Leveling Administrator, Pastor Shyrone Richardson, are allowing landlords to charge increases that are as high as 10x the legal limit.

    This can't be allowed to continue!

    According to Ordinance 260, the landlord tenant office and the Rent Leveling Administrator exist to enforce Ordinance 260.

    We all SEE what is happening, so I CLICK so this can be FIXED.

    This support ticket request will be widely shared, so we may all track the progress until there is a resolution.

  • 812-824 Jersey Ave Jersey City, NJ, 07310, USA - Downtown
    HORRIBLE driving conditions on Jersey Ave.
  • 145 Sussex St Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown
    I live near the corner of Van Vorst and Sussex and frequently drive down Van Vorst. There is currently parking on both side of the street and two-way traffic. There simply isn’t room for 4 cars on Van Vorst. Cars frequently cannot turn onto the street and are forced to back up into traffic, and visibility turning onto the street is very difficult and last night I witnessed a fender bender as a result. The street can support only three cars, so either it should be turned into a one-way street or parking eliminated from one side.
  • Bay St & Marin Blvd Jersey City, NJ, 07302, USA - Downtown

    Thank you for adding pedestrian lights to this intersection. Unfortunately, drivers around here are brazen and it’s not enough.

    They do not stop for pedestrians with the lights flashing. And if you’re in a vehicle crossing Marin from Bay Street, good luck! You have to pull out into the middle of Marin to see around parked cars, and then pray someone in both directions stop due to a constant flow of traffic on both sides. Also, when there’s a red light a block away on either side, cars block the intersection for both cars and pedestrians. Doesn’t make sense that there isn’t a light here as well.

    I’ve almost been hit as a pedestrian multiple times. And I’ve witnessed car accidents due to the blind spots in this intersection.

    It continues to get more unsafe as the population on Marin grows, especially given this is flanked by 351 Marin and the Hendrix. Will only get worse with the two new condo buildings going up on Bay and Provost.

    Thank you for your consideration.

  • Bike Rack Request Acknowledged
    C Columbus Drive At Grove St Jersey City, NJ 07302, USA - Downtown
    I would like to bike to grove PATH, lock it up and commute from to the NYC. There are numerous bike racks however all of them are occupied by mostly app delivery bikes. I have not been able to use my back due to lack of space to lock it, I appreciate if the city can help add more bike racks or get rid of old ones which have been unused for years .
