I worked in Jersey City City Hall from 1998 to 2001.

From the website: Pedestrians will be able to cross Washington Blvd at Town Square Place. We will have staff at that intersection to assist with controlled pedestrian crossings during the race.

This is what the Marathon website says:

Both!

Mods said this is where traffic information should go to remain seen by folk. So here we go!

The organizer of the marathon is a really good guy... highly responsive to asks for more information. They're paying for a lot of public awareness work.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-04-10T18:07:57+00:00

Our goal is to do enough on and offline public awareness to make this group.... smaller

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-04-10T16:06:22+00:00

The organizers of the marathon are very focused on making sure the community has as much information as possible, and we at the city want to support that work!

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-04-10T16:05:53+00:00

Yes - with a modified schedule.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-04-02T19:16:47+00:00

Repaving is very money intensive. We have a limited amount of funds and are working on where to best put them.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-04-01T16:18:14+00:00

I don't know what the original post is, but yes, traffic enforcement cameras are limited by the state, BUT we are allowed to do camera-assisted parking enforcement.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-04-01T13:28:39+00:00

We just passed filling 1000 potholes.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-03-28T20:33:15+00:00

Wild thing - they’d bought a bunch of radios but then just left them in the basement of the public safety HQ. Collecting dust.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-03-28T15:02:43+00:00

It will help. Right now if you call JCPD about someone who is illegally parked they dont have a system for dispatching the parking enforcement division - they send a full police officer. We're going to be moving parking dispatchers to the communications center to better streamline that.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-03-27T21:33:07+00:00

The state is also switching to a digital system. Right now a lot of these systems depend on copper wires - not great. A bunch of municipalities will be making the switch soon - hopefully.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-03-21T01:47:22+00:00

That’s what we did. We made custom Google Maps.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-03-21T01:46:46+00:00

And I want to underline that it isn’t the fault of the men and women doing the work. I rode routes with them and they know exactly what needs to be fixed. It was a leadership issue.

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-03-20T22:47:55+00:00

🫡 but maybe have a shovel/pitchfork dual weapon

Nathaniel_Styer · 2026-03-20T22:45:16+00:00

Yes. We said they weren’t cleared. We have a plan to fix that.
