But there’s not a lease that Pompidou is paying for, right? JC is footing that bill. Please correct me if I’m mistaken.

Is the Pompidou paying? I thought it was Jersey City paying THEM.

Agreed. Why the secrecy? Only further undermines public trust. Now I want to know who really is bankrolling this trip and what’s their agenda?

I do think that Fulop could be a better advocate. Agreed he doesn’t control but together with other mayors, they should flex their muscle more and better advocate for residents.

This FLOP mayor who thinks he’s gonna run for governor can’t even run a city well. What’s the opposite of an imposter syndrome?

It’s also the city. The mayor has passed backdoor taxes and the city also raised its taxes quite dramatically. I think it’s disingenuous to just blame the tax hike on the the schools.

Will there be T-shirts for the Shamey Amy redemption tour? Says all you need to know when this former chair of the HCDO legitimatizes this right-wing nut. Thanks a lot to the dummies who voted for her. Look what you elected.

The traffic violence in JC is getting out of hand. Any suggestions on what residents can do to influence electeds? Any coordinated efforts by safe streets and bike groups that we can mobilize around?

Agreed. Have lived in many cities and neighborhoods. Jersey City feels very unsafe as a pedestrian — and also for cycling and driving. I almost wonder if every single person on this thread emailed the mayor this week at sfulop@jcnj.org along with Mike Manzella at mmanzella@jcnj.org and lit a fire under their assess calling on them to step up traffic calming efforts and traffic enforcement, if it would make some difference. Couldn’t hurt, right?

Couldn’t agree more. Anytime there are traffic calming efforts, there are so many loud voices in opposition. Case in point: see image.
Please get involved with these groups and your community associations to support these efforts.

Reply to Moving to NJ, how is Journal Square? by TouchPorcelain
I’d recommend Journal Square — feels generally safe but would recommend with any neighborhood in any city (even downtown JC) to be aware of your surroundings. I think it’s a very convenient neighborhood with great cafes, an arts scene, cultural events, and more and more coming each day with the development that’s happening.

You’re writing off an entire neighborhood that has a lot to offer — it’s culturally rich and a hub for art and history. Some people value that.

Agreed. JSQ is incredibly convenient from a transportation perspective. Adjacent to downtown so on good days you can walk. Easily bike down the new protected bike lane to downtown in about 5 mins. Feels safe. Culturally rich and a major arts hub. Lots going on.

Agreed — no need for a car. It’s already so congested all over NJ. Easy access to things when living downtown.

But isn’t construction in Hilltop a nightmare? I read SCF complaints every day from your area about the lack of sidewalks for pedestrians and construction starting at 5am. Also the Ward councilman here is a dunce. Doesn’t even know how to use email. Poor constituent services. At least Downtown people get a good councilman who is responsive.

LOL. As if no one with “well paying jobs” who wants to experience city life lives in Journal Square. Have you considered that some people who want city life also want to embrace living in and giving back to a diverse community? Do you hear yourself?

While you’re at it, please improve JCT’s reporting on traffic safety issues. Rob Leir’s reporting has been very irresponsible on multiple occasions. You’re doing the community a disservice.
