You’re looking for an auto body shop/person, not a mechanic. Some may take offense since they do very different work.
I recommend posting it in a Mazda sub for estimated quote from people. If the piece is plastic, usually it needs to be fully replaced so even something like that trim piece could cost over $500 easily.

It's been right turn only for years. Also, Monmouth already backs up to CC from Newark with just one lane going straight. It's all full up, allowing another lane to go straight doesn't add more capacity where it bottlenecks, it's the equivalent to expanding the TPK to get more people through the tunnel

because sometimes its faster or I have to pick someone up from the city or a host of reasons. it’s what it is. but the point being that not all traffic through the tunnel is people who can use public transit to get where they’re going.

Building offices in this economy is an enormous gamble. Even in nyc you can practically name your own terms when renting office space.

There is construction by the Holland Tunnel that requires a complex merge on 12th street; this creates a double whammy during rush hour. It appears that the JCPD and the PAPD might not have really (wanted to) tackle the problem proactively.

MONMOUTH ST approaching COLUMBUS DR by Dixon Mills: when did that right lane become a RIGHT TURN ONLY lane? I never had a reason to turn right onto CC, but if they fix that to make it striaght and right turn that would fix that little street.

Downtown is already filled to the brim with cars. Prioritizing access for more drivers at this point is a dead end. We need to prioritize safety and other transport options instead.

Yes, and we've seen how long NYC is taking to get a law implemented (it was signed way back in 2019!) - it will be a long time before JC can get something like this done. With that in mind, I guess that means we should start now.

I’ve noticed a lot of traffic comes from the hoboken side into DTJC/the tunnel. I guess JC just serves as a crossroads for many areas that have no public transit between them, eg from Union/West NY/Weehawken towards the city, Bayonne, Staten Island - places where you really have to have a car.

The amount of times i see the last person in a queue of cars at a green light honking is out of control. Like sir, have you driven in Jersey City before? Have you driven in any city? Have you ever driven a car? The people in front need to go first.

Why would you go through NYC to get to upstate NY? Lol. Take the turnpike to GW and get off in fort lee and trasnfer onto the Palisades Parkway (no tolls if you enter the turnpike from Route 3). Takes you into upstate NY. If you need to be on the eastern side of the Hudson in NY cross over the Tappan Zee or Cuomo bridge, whatever the hell it's called now

I know, right? She didn't even stop to make sure she finished the guy off.
That kind of laziness is inexcusable for an elected leader.
