Ah that was a while ago and we don't have them anymore, but if you want I can dig up the contact info for the guy who makes them, you may be able to buy one from him directly.

"Let me just ask if a bunch of people want an already lackluster service reduced to provide a parallel service that benefits them in no way, shape, or form -- I can't wait to see the results!"

Someone running a red light doesn’t make hitting someone legal.
They’re going after the more serious charges. If those don’t stick, they can try for the others. That’s how NJ does it. The crime with the steeper penalties take priority.

At no point did I imply in this thread she didn’t break the law. She obviously did. Her charges have nothing to do with the crash itself because she wasn’t at fault. Cyclist ran a red light that’s just a fact. The crime she committed was never even stopping to check if the guy is okay.

The city is a joke. Along with this anti car movement. You want to take cars off the street? How about you improve public transit first before you take out lanes.
I loved that they added protected bike lanes to CC drive. But then they got stupid with the new traffic pattern.
All of this whole the idiot mayor ignores the rest of the city. Traffic is bad in other parts too. You know why? Because our NJ transit sucks.
Between the food delivery double parking when they are driving or when the bikes just cross traffic, the Ubers picking and dropping off people at the worst possible location in flowing traffic. The street closures because of construction or repairs. All of this Makes driving awful. But not where near as awful as waiting for a bus in the cold and rain.

Nothing in Jersey City gets saved or fixed unless someone makes money off the fixing.

What exactly is it that you think the city can do, legally? The city can't restrict traffic on local roads (Leonia tried that a few years ago and got rightfully slapped down by the State Supreme Court) and we don’t (and, can't) control traffic heading into the tunnel (the mayor already tried fucking with the PA by hassling truck traffic as it was making its way to the tunnel and got in trouble for doing so) - so, what exactly can we do? They have done pretty much everything else and things are worse: they narrowed Marin to single lanes in each direction for a stretch (that made life miserable for residents along that area) then they instituted a bunch of "no turn on red" restrictions that have also added to the backups. And, they added humps and bumps, as well as a ton of stop signs, which some residents definitely don’t like.
Honestly, I think the city strategy is to make life miserable for those who choose to drive, and they are succeeding at that. If you have to drive, choose your times wisely, or learn alternate routes. And, I say this as someone who also had to deal with the 4 PM traffic today. We left DTJC just before 2 and Marin was basically a parking lot, so we detoured and shaved 10 minutes off our original 45 minute estimate. On our return, we did some hustling and also avoided most of the traffic, but it was certainly bad in some areas.

The law says she has an obligation to not operate her vehicle in an unsafe manner or impact other persons or property.
This is black and white: she broke the law. Stop victim blaming.

It's just a total mind fuck that 8+ years ago AEG was ready to take over the rehab work, on their own dime, with a (perhaps aspirational) completion date in 2015. But, nooooo! FoL just couldn’t stand being muscled aside and instead of letting an experienced professional company complete the work and get the place ready for local, regional, and national acts, they insisted on enforcing their lease and refused to budge, even after a ridiculously accommodating agreement that ensured that local groups and organizations would have guaranteed access (60 days, iirc) to the Loew's to hold performances and other events.

I think they just mean higher education in general. This school was trying to play real estate and apparently lost.
Sad, all it does is hurt the students
They couldn't stick with the student loan scam. They had to try to be developers

I got a message about it. I didn't respond because I didn't know how to explain that there was no code system.

I would only support it if it meant that JSQ-33rd St trains never stopped at Hoboken.

Exactly. The Loews could jump started the current revitalization of J.Sq years ago and brought much needed tax revenue as well. They claim others are trying to strong arm them but they are holding onto the theater eith an iron fist.
