: Even with the constant noise, dust, trash and dirt from all of the construction (and construction workers)in our neighborhood, we have to battle with temporary parking permits awarded to these non-residents. I had to park near Van Vorhst park last week (which as you may be aware is quite a walk). I realize the construction must continue, however, what do we do about being able to park within walking distance of our purchased property. Yes, purchased, meaning not only do I have a right to park here, I pay taxes in Jersey City. What do we do about the trash being thrown all over the street (Morris Street)by construction workers at lunch? What do we do about the conditions of our roads from all of the trucks considering there are pot holes capable of swallowing a car? Please help.
The only course of action that I can suggest is for you to call the Mayor's Action
Bureau at 201-547-4900 and the Ward E councilman, "Junior" Maldonado at
201-547-5000.
Though it might not be much consolation -- and the problems that you describe
definitely should be addressed -- all the commotion at Paulus Hook reflects the great
interest that is focused on your neighborhood. I remember a time in the '70s when it
was dreadfully quiet there. This was a time when property prices were in the
morgue.
