I was on the jersey city Lightrail a week ago and it looked like that on a normal day during rush hour

What was wrong with the signals...? That picture seems normal , I remember the trains always being packed largely with students pre-pandemic...

Signals?

I remember there was a big issue last Thursday near branch brook park, but besides that idk.

Newark has a lot of aging infrastructure, and though the city is putting money towards renovations such as the air train at the airport, or the Penn Station redevelopment, this stuff takes time.

Too much damn time as we humans don't live for very long in the grand scheme of things

The owner owns the ihop as well from what I remember.

Bar Vanquish Oyster Bar & Lounge. 218B Market Street

Burke’s Restaurant Lafayette st 3 blocks from the Rock

Seabras Marisquera Corner of Ferry and Adams Seafood is only vegetarian option though

True but I would very much want to see the Arc tower break ground.

I’m sure we can figure it out! I’ll pass that along

Fantastic!

Sounds good. We are staying in Manhattan so I don’t think a day trip in Newark is too out of the way. Sounds like there’s a lot of great spots around

This sounds perfect!!

Ok so the idea kicks ass and we need a whole lot more of this. But does the building itself need to look like all the other garbage “luxury” condos going up everywhere?

you got me, i definitely went there more than once just to try everything on the minions movie menu from a few months ago 😂

Unrelated: love your handle 😂

Hey I like ihop

Sounds good to me

The Arc tower meeting was an online community meeting and not the official hearing.

Lool to be fair I haven’t been there in years so I didn’t know this but good to know - guess I’ll save it for a brunch venture

Good to see a number street get some attention.

This is amazing. Hoping to see more of this!

Thank you for the share, and I actually remember this proposal now that my memory has been refreshed. Honestly, it’s only a matter of time before Newark is flooded with high density/high rise developments. The amount of property lots available, coupled with property costs and construction, it only makes sense to build up (especially given the demand from the rental market). So, I’m not too worried if a few stellar project proposals, like the Arc Tower or 900 Broad Street, get shot down. Newark really needs as many apartment units it can get online to the market as the demand is almost unreal really. Plus, more downtown residents to the city’s core is always a plus for retail and other economic activities.

yeah there is unfortunately an ihop wedged in between them 😭

No complaints here 👍🏾

Didnt realize they were the same restaurant...wish it was combined
