Jersey City has started an incredible experiment to deter Turnpike traffic *and* make Columbus Dr safer for commuters & kids: No left-turns going north on Columbus between 6am-9am. It's finally *faster* to stay on the Turnpike vs cutting-through JC. Thank you Mayor @StevenFulop
Left turns lead to a majority of intersection crashes and are actually a source of traffic congestion. Many cities are increasing restrictions on left-turns to both make intersections a lot safer and improve the overall flow of traffic. Win-win: popularmechanics.com/science/a36620…
This really says it all, doesn’t it? This planter barely lasted a month, at the very intersection where a 6-year-old was recently killed. There are no accidents.

And yet PATH / HBLR runs off-peak and weekend scheduled delay between the next train is 2-3x longer than SEPTA.
Jersey city/Union city/hoboken actually matches the densest parts of Philly
Total self-reported ridership, 2024: PATH: 56 million (note: Apta says 62 million) NJ Transit rail: 59 million Newark Airport: 49 million @MikieSherrill
The PATH derailment happened on new tracks - replaced as part of a $31 million project at Hoboken Terminal nj.com/news/2025/07/p…
Join the planning meeting tonight and tell them you want more retail, more affordable housing, and fewer cars on Bergen Ave.

The @PATHTrain Forward Program - 283 delays or line closures past 174 days. - 7 track fires since December 12, 2024 - 226 elevators out of service past 178 days
From PATH to Turnpike widening to transit deserts in South Jersey, NJ’s broken transportation system fuels bigger issues: housing, segregation, affordability, energy, and sustainability. Truth is we can’t really fix any of these issues without addressing transportation.…

Crosstown busways in NYC increased bus speeds by 47% and increased ridership by 30%. Jersey City and Hudson County need bus lanes.
The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets. So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?
Vehicles are weapons.
On July 12, a peaceful protest against federal immigration policies near the border of Hudson and Bergen counties was disrupted when a driver struck several demonstrators with her vehicle.
A reminder that the PATH carries more people every day than NJ transit trains. The fact that PANYNJ treats it like an afterthought is holding back real economic development in the NYC metro area
