We're celebrating the fact that this announcement is a massive reduction in the project cost and scope.

I’d like to see it expanded.

Imagine this system improving the efficiency of every loading zone through the city! We could eliminate the impulse for double parking overnight.

And business was actually up throughout the corridor during the enforcement pilot.

Parking turnover was up. Spending was up. Parking transactions were up. All signs were positive.

It’s really frustrating that a handful of people are blocking this program from being restored.

HPU enforces parking violations like this, not HPD.

HPU simply doesn’t have the capacity to position someone at 1 location. Automating part of their patrols was a huge benefit of the CLEAR program that allowed additional enforcement elsewhere, but, yet again, this has yet to be reauthorized by CC.

Phil Cohen supports the enforcement program.

He’s doing what he can to fix the problem, but he needs a vote from Fisher, Imus, Russo, Ramos or Presinzano to get anything done.

The situation you described happens all the time. It is dangerous, chaotic, inefficient, and completely preventable.

Hopefully our City Council will choose to do something about it.

We had a system that automatically sent these violations to HPU to be ticketed along lower Washington, but @tiffaniefisher.bsky.social fought for its repeal.

As chair of the Transportation SC, she now holds the authority to reintroduce and expand the program to upper Wash anytime she wants.

We could really use your help in Hoboken over the next few weeks. The portal bridge rerouting is going to be a disaster for us, unless NJ Transit deploys even more buses, similarly to what was done during PATH closure last year.

Please don’t post stuff like this unless you have more information. Otherwise you’re just spreading fear and confusion.

S.A.L.U.T.E. is a good framework to think through the next time you are suspicious.

Upper Willow is the most dangerous street segment in Hoboken, where around 1/10th of our traffic injuries occur. It’s a county road that has a planned redesign:

The @bikehoboken.org 2024 Traffic Injury Report has more data:

This certainly could account for the entire effect, but I wonder how the Hoboken PATH shutdown affected the data, considering the 126 is such a high volume line.

Much of the volume was traveling on charter buses and using cross-honored tickets. If there is an effect, it’d be seen throughout Feb.

I'm sorry, I read your comment as saying Hoboken's model of success isn't replicable, and is mainly just a function of it's geography.

If that wasn't your point, than great!

One of the main criticisms we hear in Hoboken is, "So what? Traffic deaths were already rare before VZ."

Despite the callousness of that perspective, it certainly is true that other communities, when making changes, will have larger effects on safety outcomes than we do. Use this to your advantage!

Vision Zero is a process.

Evaluate where you community stands. Use data to find low-cost / high-impact improvements. Test design and policy improvements. Build future developments more thoughtfully.

Not every community will go 9 years w/o a death, but every community can become safer.

These comments are always made re: Hoboken Vision Zero.

Sure, not every city is going to have 400' blocks, 24' ROWs and 70% transit mode share. But could you have:

Daylighted intersections?
Streets that could be narrowed?
Safe Routes to School programs?
PLIs?

Hoboken is officially a @bikeleague.org Silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community!

Years of work building safer streets, protected bike lanes, and accessible infrastructure have earned this recognition. Safer streets for cyclists means safer streets for all.

New Jersey Passes Law Requiring License, Registration, And Insurance For E-Bikes - Jalopnik On his last day in office, outgoing Governor Phil Murphy signed the law in response to an increasing number of e-bike crashes and fatalities.

This is not the right approach... I own two legal E-bikes that are capable of Class 3 speeds (28 mph while pedaling) but never really go that fast. Yes E-bike safety should be addressed for younger riders but don't punish the slower class 1 and 2 E-bike owners.

@govmurphy.bsky.social's press release, attempting to justify NJ's "E-bike Bill", further demonstrates that the sponsors
have poor understanding of existing law and are largely uninformed about the bill they just passed.

Kudos to Sen Mukherji for trying to stop it.
