Dear Editor:
Incompetence 360 – aka Mayor Dawn Zimmer, City Council, HPA… To the rocket scientist who decided to add parking to both sides of Jackson Street from the intersection of Jackson and Observer, kudos. You’ve managed to congest the one entry point on the south end of Hoboken used by an overwhelming majority of residents and commuters.
Traffic is now backed up just about any time of day and regularly requires a police presence. But where the rock scientry really kicks in was in deciding to throw in a bike lane directly up the middle of the street…must have been for the thousands of folks biking down Observer Highway onto Jackson street from 1&9 or coming out of the Holland Tunnel. The ineptitude demonstrated by politicians in this town is disgusting. The taxes we pay for what we get is even more laughable.
But hey, I’m thrilled the Mayor was able to add some more green curb designated parking. And I’m thrilled the HPA ‘closed’ street parking in the southwest corner of Hoboken 11/24 and left the streets as dirty as they were on 11 /23. Keep up the brilliant work folks – you’re doing one heck of a job!!!!
