To complicate matters even more for our UES neighbor, #Hoboken already has city-wide free buses.

LETTER: Here's why I feel that Mike Russo should not be Hoboken's next mayor - Hudson County View LETTER: Hoboken Councilwoman Fisher, a mayoral candidate, stakes her claim on why Councilman Russo should not be the city's next mayor.

Despite her recent op-ed accusing him of multiple examples of corruption, Tiffanie just endorsed Russo in a newsletter tonight. Hoboken politics β€” forever interesting!

It probably suggests that a @tiffaniefisher.bsky.social endorsement would be extremely valuable.

Interesting analysis. I took a similar look at the Hoboken race. Looks like a similar dynamic between Jabbour and Russo.

I don't think it's realistic, or even ideal, for all cities to directly copy Hoboken, but there are some universal concepts that can be applied. Narrow one-way streets. Daylight corners. Dense transit development. 20mph speed limits. Tactical, quick-build projects. Robust bike share.

Hoboken has gone 8 years without a traffic death. Can Philly replicate its success? The densely populated city across from Manhattan is not taking a victory lap. Hoboken transportation officials know that Vision Zero success can be fleeting and vow to keep focusing on it.

Hoboken has had zero traffic deaths since the beginning of 2017, making it a star of the Vision Zero movement.

Can Philly replicate its success?

How Hoboken Has Gone Years Without a Traffic Death It's been seven years since the New Jersey city has seen a traffic fatality, with injuries down significantly as well. Many of its improvements could be replicated elsewhere.

You didn't mention this in the newsletter, but I was excited to see the bike/pedestrian concept on Clinton Street that's being proposed for the Rockefeller site! Exciting things coming to the 5th Ward in coming years!

Spit On, Sworn At, and Undeterred: What It’s Like to Own a Cybertruck β€œWe were the targets.” WIRED spoke to seven Tesla Cybertruck owners about their most controversial purchase and why they’re proud to drive it.

"Her [Cybertruck] name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice."

Men will do literally anything to avoid therapy.

Big step forward coming for #Hoboken! When Grand Street is resurfaced in the coming weeks, the city will pilot the ever protected bike lane through the interior of Hoboken! How exciting!

β€œWe – dealers, manufacturers, auto lenders – don’t learn our lessons from the past,” Schwartz said. β€œI’m sure bank presidents back then said, β€˜We’re never doing 96-month loans again.’ And here we are, 15 years later, and we’re getting right back into it. It’s crazy.”

Hoboken just activated an automated system for ticketing cars that are illegally parked in bike lanes and bus stops.

Imagine if NYC did this!

I cannot wait for those Christie-era coach buses to be phased out on the Hoboken 126 line. They make boarding so slow, difficult for accessibility, and uncomfortable. Glad to see more investment happening!
