Although Jersey City is now in possession of new license plate readers designed to assist in enforcing parking violations of “egregious offenders,” the Healy administration is pulling a proposal that would permit the police to use them, just one day after making its case at the City Council’s caucus meeting.
Share/Save Looks like there will not be a parking deck constructed on 1st Street after all, according to city planners, who last night told the City Council that a deck would be cost prohibitive and unfeasible, as well as antithetical to Jersey City’s broader planning goals. Planning Division director Bob Cotter, speaking at Monday’s council [...]
A proposal to sell and redevelop the JCPD headquarters on Erie Street and an adjacent parking lot was held up at last week’s City Council meeting by Ward E councilman Steven Fulop, who argues that the city needs to retain the adjacent site and build a city-owned parking deck there to serve the area’s bars and restaurants — an option city officials say they too are considering.
Jersey City last night stepped away from a plan to lease 95 parking spots on Columbus Drive from the Jersey City Parking Authority amid questions about just who owns the rights to the coveted spaces.

Share/SaveWith another winter storm in the works for tonight, Jersey City is once again asking residents to limit non-essential driving and to not park on emergency snow routes. Officials are also opening two municipal lots, beginning tonight, for displaced vehicles. The two lots are the same that were opened during the last snowfall: at Cambridge [...]
Share/SaveUPDATE: January 11 at 8:45 pm: An earlier version of this story said that schools were closed Wednesday and the lots would be open. As of now, that is not yet the case, and the lots will only be open if schools close. We apologize for the error, and will keep you posted. As we [...]
Share/SaveI suggest a better idea for saving money in Jersey City than laying off police officers. End street cleaning. Reassign those workers to other tasks, perhaps picking up trash with their hands as the rest of us do. Sell the street cleaning machines. They do nothing.
