Have they announced an enforcement plan? To keep cars and trucks out of the bike lanes and keep cyclists and scooters off the sidewalks?

Went out for a ride on Sunday down Washington in Hoboken. Approx 10+ cars parked in tge designated bike lane - not including the 2x Police SUVs parked without emergency lights on (I have no issue with police parking where they need to when responding to a call - in this case, they were getting food). Stopped a police cruiser in the street, pointed out the plethora of potential citations he could give, and asked him about doing so. His response (paraphrased)
- Police need to prioritize what they respond to (sure, but he could call traffic/parking Police)
- was not a imminent safety issue (disagree)
- said he was responding to a call and didn't have time to address the parking when I pointed out that he had time to hold up traffic while talking to me
So, to answer your question about enforcement, looks like that department is not yet appropriately funded or prioritized.

He was right. I use WOTS (word on the street) app to report crap like that. It reports to the appropriate authorities without clogging 911 lines.

It's mostly parking enforcement which is a separate thing in JC, wots app usually gets them there pretty quick
