I'm so sorry this happened. It's easy to be a bully when encased in 2,000 pounds of steel.

Here is an easy way to get started: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdPDicmcNa0fpxd-tTJGeF0-CPlLwQMd8y8KacD4FPAR9pWYw/viewform

City councilmembers are listening and they do respond (mostly). Their email addresses are here: https://www.jerseycitynj.gov/cityhall/CityCouncil

It's also an election year for all 9 county commissioners, and the county maintains 61 miles of roadways including the most dangerous ones, like Kennedy Boulevard.

Here’s a list of “safety improvements” coming to Kennedy between Sip and Bergen near JSQ but is still vague and what I find insane is it appears the Bergen Ave two-way bike lane is being extended just 100ft, stopping a half block short of the entrance to the PATH station.

Yeah. There’s nothing she could have done except drive the speed limit, avoid intoxication, stop at the scene, and report to the police sooner than 6 hours later. SIX HOURS.

Let’s not forget Commissioner Anthony Romano who earns $49k as a county commissioner and $50k as a public safety advisor for the City of Hoboken. He is up for re-election in June and his district includes the Jersey City waterfront (Newport, Exchange Place, Paulus Hook).

I biked Communipaw yesterday. Not pleasant and not safe for kids or inexperienced riders. Definitely wide enough for a bike lane and would go a long way toward connecting the west side with downtown and several parks: Berry Lane Park, Lafayette Park and city swimming pool, and Liberty State Park. I can’t imagine any of the kids on my block getting to the pool without a car even though it’s only a mile a way (a 5 min bike ride).

Great news!

There is currently a trucking study underway by Hudson County planners. If you have time/availability to comment, here’s a link: https://www.hcnj.us/trucking-study/
