I know I will continue to be downvoted for my opinion. The biggest issue is the Holland tunnel traffic. That needs to be fixed. I think we can all agree on that. Liberty state park and Columbus exits should be closed during the morning rush hour. My issue as someone who spent many years walking my kids to school in HP to now driving my kids to their school downtown is the crossing guards who are ill equipped and unaware of traffic laws. Some take it upon themselves to direct traffic, not their job. Some stop all intersections when one person is crossing to the right but prevent traffic flow to the left. And the pedestrians? Half on their phones, others chitchatting with the mom nearby approaching an intersection, waiting for their scooter kid to catch up, has held up other parents at other schools who don’t have the luxury to live in close proximity to their child’s school, sipping lattes at the corner, making it seem they might want to cross, stopping all traffic. Please. Is it frustrating yes, but it’s not an issue of the community, it’s this fucking administration who can’t figure out that we should be able to exist as a community without the onslaught of the commuter population. And I’m sorry OP if you are getting nearly run over so often, maybe take a look inward.
