They really shouldn’t let us turn right on red. Makes it way too easy to get hit while biking or walking

They’ll turn the fountain on in the next month or two, too

That would be so convenient. I usually take the number 80 bus, but the fact it goes north to Journal Square before heading downtown makes it take a lot longer than it should.

Right, I’m not quite sure why OP is downvoted so heavily. If you only build up, rents are going to remain high and get higher in the desirable areas. The underdeveloped areas will remain cheaper, but less connected to the rest of town due to shitty mass transit options. There’s a middleground somewhere here

Right, I’ve always wondered why the bus stop signs mention a Montgomery/West Side bus but I’ve never really seen one running. Does that one make a straight shot down Montgomery to downtown? That’d be so convenient.

I guess I’ve been waiting for the wave of gentrification to crest up the hill from downtown and south from JSQ for it to converge on west side, but it hasn’t really happened yet.

It’s really confusing. I think the private bus company does the 31(?) bus which is the 440 shopper. The private bus routes don’t track on the NJ Transit app, making them useless because I don’t know when they come or what the schedule is.

Not sure I’m following, I think OP has a valid point. If only one or three neighborhoods are seen as desirable within JC (basically downtown, Heights, Newport) then the other areas are going to be neglected. They need to build out in order to avoid all the investment and development from getting concentrated in these small handful of locations as opposed to the rest of town, which consists of many many other neighborhoods.

I thought it was obvious they were talking about developing other parts of JC rather than just strictly downtown.

I thought it was clear they were describing developing neighborhoods that get looked over by the city government and therefore developers, e.g. west side, mcginley sq, etc.

Almost as if she couldn’t get a job on her own without the help of nepotism

Also used the lack of sleep excuse. Maybe she shouldn’t drive then

Yeah they just keep focusing downtown. Neighborhoods like McGinley Sq have been ripe for gentrification but it’s happening way slower than it probably should. I like that the rent is cheap here but I wish there were more to do.

They’re good, nowhere close to being as good as Venti. Also the fact Our Hero is cash-only is annoying.

How on earth did they know you were using hers? Does it say “senior” when you tap through the turnstile?

It’s just cringe because the area isn’t really gentrifying that quickly to warrant an abbreviation

Now there’s once again nothing to do at Harborside. Such a waste of space. I even tried to see what I could get for dinner after work there yesterday, basically the only thing open was Poke.

I walk home from JSQ on Bergen Ave at ungodly hours all the time… it’s perfectly safe.

Favorite hidden gem, love living so close to it.

Don’t they barely run anymore? They don’t even do the one to Harborside

It’s such a joke. Why is so hard just to cross the river? They should just run a bunch more ferries if the trains are such an issue.

Why did they take down all the sister city flags at Exchange Place?

Yeah it’s a bit removed from the pedestrian plaza

I never would’ve thought NJ Transit would actually invest in its infrastructure. I’ve seen what look like ticket scanners for quite a while, I’ve never been asked to scan my ticket though.

Has this actually started? I’ve been taking buses in this state for 5 years, they only ever glance at the ticket on my phone.
