no

Yep, paying off the construction of a road is one thing but roads take significant amounts of further investment to maintain. They take exponentially more when they're in tunnel form and any work on them requires dealing with a mess of other cables and tunnels. There's no fair way to do it without user fees.

Can I be hired as a plant?

I enjoy drinking water and sitting by a window in the sun. Preferably reading, which is something I understand libraries excel in?

FIFTEEN YEARS! Are they nuts? I think this is the next CA high speed rail project here.

> “It is quite ambitious and it’s needed,” the governor said of the project this summer, adding that he believed that in the 15 years the widening is expected to take, there will be more electric vehicles, potentially reducing the volume of emissions from gas-powered cars.

We know you’re an idiot because the “tolls were supposed to be temporary to pay off the bridge/tunnel/highway” thing is a global old wives tail. There’s a small set of places where this was actually done. But literally every place on earth people claim this is fact.

The article mentioned that there was a plan to replace a portion of BQE in Brooklyn with a tunnel at an estimated cost of $11B. I would guess it would be comparable to that.

You should see the camera resistant hats some thieves use. IIRC they’re IR led lights, which basically create a halo and block the face. You can find this crap online.

Most cameras can’t come close to filtering out the light so it looks like some 1960’s religious film and the Holy Spirit just broke it to steal a package…. Or some StarTrek alien bad guy.

The process was so easy to apply for my library card today. I emailed them a photo of my license to prove JC residency. They replied with my library number and mailed the physical card to my house. I was able to use their services immediately.

Highway turning into a local road with traffic lights leading into the river is the issue. It should be an bridge that goes over downtown

Guess what, you gotta pay for maintaining the roads one way or another. If your tolls don't pay for it it's my taxes and I don't even own a car so fuck that.

I yearn for the world where saying "the city" in Jersey City refers to downtown and not NYC

Unfortunately this isn’t new. Check out a Portland Oregon article specifically about this: https://www.wweek.com/news/2022/12/14/two-men-running-a-ghost-kitchen-in-northwest-portland-advertise-76-distinct-restaurants-on-food-delivery-apps/

“…business by numbers” apparently. I find it dishonest.

light is for the more advanced systems - the better systems use IR laser that is immune to those coatings or inserts but the light messes them up.

Only the highest of high end systems an defeat a high band IR light .

A tunnel by LSC is smart. Closer to the ports. Not happening in our lifetimes.

Hello, I will be around for the holidays and could watch your cat. Where exactly in JC are you located? What your is cats' name and what type of cat is it?

Anti flash coatings don't work on high end tariff cams that use a special tech to read plates.

They do work on low grade IR based cameras like a lot of city level traffic cams but your messing with getting caught by the state or Feds to get away avoiding a few red light cams.

Most tolls don't use flash technology - the common 3 techs are High band IR or REG , regulars band IR with IR projector and flash .

Most highway level system use HD Nightvision conversion or High BAND REG - some new ones use Laser based color correction and Id but they are very high end.

​

These coating are more for running red lights in local towns with mostly use normal band IRL projection or flash .

There is a link to a form you can complete from the "Get a Library Card" page; linking form below:

Thanks for posting! I’m new to JC and keep meaning to get a library card, so I’ll sign up and make a donation today.

That's a good find! Thanks so much for donating!

I'm so glad to hear that, thank you so much!

Is there a way to RENEW a card online?

they’re in manhattan but west village dental has been good to me, and i hate going to the dentist.

Can't wait for that branch to open. Do you have a date or time frame? I'm also a media professional and could volunteer depending on services that are available.
